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

Dear all, yesterday was officially the last performance for the year for the juniors. I’m here to say that I totally enjoy your performances for both days and the music that you guys produced was totally awesome and my blowing. The sound of angklung accompanied by the sounds from other musical instruments were just something which will stuck on my mind for a very very long time. And to make it all memorable, that bittersweet feeling I felt will stay forever as I sat on both days looking at the Angklung in white tops on Saturday and wearing the kebaya on Sunday ( actually the kebaya look fabulous on you gals!!!). Watching the performances and I cant believe that 8yrs had passed. I was dazed as memories of the past 8yrs just flash infront of me and the culmination of all the memories are just there right at the stage performing.

Yesterday was officially the last performance that I’m attending in my capacity as the Angklung Teacher in-charge. And, I’m proud to say that I will be leaving with nothing but fond memories knowing that Angklung had indeed come very very far from the last time I knew her in 1999. Kudos to all the members and the excos and not forgetting all the fellow teachers in-charge that had worked together with me in building up the CCA. All this while, I chose to stay with angklung, believing in her ability in her ability to soar, while my fellow teachers in charge keep on changing every year till Mr Tan came. In fact, Mr Tan arrival is timely as I believe, he will bring the Angklung further up and experience new things during his stint as the teacher in charge. I have great faith in him. Chor Yean, thank you for sharing this faith with me and I’m sure you will enjoy the journey with the Angklungnites as much as I do.

Of course, all this will not be possible without Mr Dzul. Since day one he became our instructor, I just knew that he is the man that I’m looking for all this while that will have the courage and the belief to bring Angklung to a level that we have never achieved before. Since 1998 I was lookinging for a new instructor but none is suitable enough as I have high expectations and I want nothing but the best for NJC Angklung. So , to Dzul, you have made everything possible and its been a pelasure working with you and seeing all our dreams becoming a reality. Under your baton, I’m sure Angklung will get nothing but the best and will continue to dream big and the swoon the audience with the wonderful music.

To the Angklungnites ( Juniors, seniors, super seniors, super duper seniors etc), theres too much for me to say but my feelings just could not be transformed through words. The experiences all this while (1999 till 2007) are just surreal. I’ve learned so much from all of you and to part is definitely the last thing on my mind. To the junior, THANK YOU for that wonderful performances over the weekend. It was indeed heart wrenching to hear those music for the last time. Stay united and have faith in each other cos, only with solidarity that every obstacles can be overcome. Always remember that in Angklung, EVERYONE MATTERS, and EVERY ANGKLUNGNITES is a LEADER. Believe in yourself and others will see your worth.

Lastly, thank you EVERYONE for the fond memories, the great friendship forged and the beautiful experiences all this while. As I look back, I will remember this experience forever. Thank you.

Regards

ANGKLUNG Teacher in-Charge (1998-2007)

ps: Watching the performance in "dampness" due to the earlier rain I was reminded of the song "November Rain" by Guns and Roses. I dedicate this song to all of you : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siBoLc9vxac
