Welcome to NJC Angklung Ensemble's blog! :)

We are a group of carefree students who have gathered together,
regardless of bawahs, normals, atas, kulintang and percussions
to create music like none other with our conductor, Mr Dzul. :D

Constance, you peek into my draft? Actually I was going to read this poem during the farewell but I dont't think I could do so without breaking down!!Parting is such a sweet sorrow and I was never good at saying goodbye. I should be happy to see all of you mature through your stay in NJC and Angklung and more importantly, all of you had grown into a more responsible person and would be glad to see you guys leave NJC and Angklung and for the juniors to experienced what you guys had gone through. So, I will just pen this thought here in the blog and do read it while listening to Eva Cassidy song "I know you by Heart"

Every year I'm faced with uncertainties
With new cohort comes new challenges
It is indeed a pleasure working with new faces every year
sapping on their enthusiasm and trying to keep up with their energy
sometimes I forgot that it is only temporary

One can never forget all the experience of the first kind
the first time one set foot into NJC
the first time one attend the angklung session
the first time one perform
and it is this first times that will remain engraved in one's heart

To me, it always feel like the first time every time
the anxiety of a performance
the goosebumps from the wave of Hope
and the feelings aroused during the syf season and while waiting for the results...

And it is this feeling that keeps me going
and it is this feeling that I want you to feel
and it is this feeling that I will cherish
for it will never have happen without all of you

I'm neither a poet nor a writer
neither am I a musician nor a composer
straight from the heart all this appears

to All the JC 2s I hold so dear
Thank you for the memories as I cherish forever
I armed myself with your enthusiasm and dedication
hoping to pass on to the juniors your commitment

As I embarked on a first time journey with the juniors.
The spirit of the past will move us further
for without you this will never be possible
I thank you again and will miss you guys forever
