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
Teacher i/cs: Mr Tan Chor Yean, Ms Sun

hello all,probably this will be my last post before i start to really chiong hard.wanted to post earlier but the eye infection is still giving me problems.sigh.anyway, let me first thank the juniors on behalf of all the j2's for coming up with this wonderful farewell, we really enjoyed it very much.what ive gt to say in the following paragraphs realli comes from the bottom of my heart.

to the juniors ( i dont know how many of you visit the blog but aiyah this is for u guys) : on wed, what the seniors wanted to take away is definitely not how well u played the song for us, we are very touched tt u all came up with the idea of playing us that song, well most of us especially me wanted to see u guys enjoy and relax while playing and sincerity was all that matters.i could sense your sincerity while playing,thank you so much for burning so mani days of practices just for us,i cant tell u how touched i really felt when i saw that u guys realli were making the effort to enjoy the song while swaying!u c, u guys are actually capable of smiling & swaying when u all play!pls keep it up n i wanna c it at esplanade alright!thats the right spirit,to feel the music.tt song was enough to move me to tears.hehe!i actually overheard u guys playing on one of the practice sessions =p.
anyway,you guys realli have approximately a year more to go,treasure the time in the ensemble,dont regret tt everything passes too quickly next yr ( like hw i am now ) & of cos study hard to get promoted!all the best to you all.though i always scold u all for not taking much initiative in the cca, i guess u guys are really improving and im glad to c much much more effort from the whole planning n execution of farewell!jia you.

j2's: its been a wonderful experience working with you guys,let me ramble a little.i rmb i joined angklung only in april last yr i guess.so im like one of the rather late intakers.den i rmb us working hard to practice for esplanade den eclectic.we changed from supporting seniors role to taking over in charge roles.how we turned from a full strength ensemble of 60 plus ppl to half the strength when we dont even need to shift the furnitures for practices.how we constantly reminded ourselves tt we can do it w/o the seniors.how we spent the last day of the yr at survivor party performing and enjoying ourselves.remember during the cca carnival,our aim was to beat the rest n find as mani juniors as possible to join us?so we went around with our angklungs to catch the attention of the juniors?how i found out tt some of u guys were slacking in the hall enjoying air con but had a list full of names to offer.hees.every little bit,then on came more invitations but we turned them down in order to focus on syf.we practiced v hard for ode to joy, in the end it wasnt the syf song?rmb when we were thinkin of a name for our syf song,before we ended up with reverie we had names like 'bo mia'suggested by peck yan n finally settled on reverie as noreen has suggested.how zapin the song which we are so used to playing turned into an syf song.the frustrations when we had to try to get used to a new arrangement when we just got used too the old one?when someone would accidentaly hit a note when he/she not supposed to n the whole ensemble starts to laugh?i wish we can turn back the time to those practices whereby we'll be affected by peiyi, wenqi n peckyan's influential laughters!all these memories, plus tt of our late night sessions, the session which we al felt so satisfied with as we played successfully with feel between the LT's,the syf day itself the strength of the ensemble and passion to play despite the rain in the morning,the buffet after SYF,the failed attempts when we wanted to make morning announcements (cos it always rains)then the moaning over the shortage of break as college day n sisc came right after.then suntec n the memorable EXPO performance,on sat we were expecting some yummy food n in the end disappointed haha!n a satisfactory n proud last time on sunday.the way which we shouted zapin was like a release of emotions,i felt it.

dear j2's,thank you for all your support throughout this period.writing the above makes me wanna cry.hope it brings back some memories of yrs too.if it wasnt for u all,i wouldnt have the strength to come this far.thank you for believing in me n my exco.for every single thing tt u've done.we've rching the crucial end of our jc life,the ultimate aim i guess of coming to jc is to graduate with good A'lvls grades, work hard everyone!

to the teachers and conductor: be4 u guys say tt im long winded, i better stop myself from rambling on.u guys are like the strong pillar of support, unwavering ones.your belief in us spur us on to move forward.really,i hope more batches of angklung members will benefit under u're guidance.

ending here.once an angklungnite,always an angklungnite.remember this.
we all know tt its time to part,but the invisible bond tt lies between us will nv fall apart.whatever it is,these memories will stay,forever.
