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

A message to the seniors of batch 2007-2008:

I'm really sorry but I fell sick today after many weeks of resisting my flu and sore throat. Here, I want to sincerely apologise to all the seniors for not being there to celebrate this senior farewell with you all. I was lying on the bed at home, thinking about what was happening during the farewell. I really hoped you guys enjoyed the day today; whether it was the power point presentation, the food or the presents and letters to each and everyone of you. I really hope you guys will appreciate them. The juniors really placed a lot of effort in making the gifts, although it may not be up to professional standards. (:

It is my regret that I am not able to be there today to witness the fun and laughter that you guys shared on your very last day of cca. Since I wasn't able to attend it, I thought it only proper to write a simple message to all you seniors.

The past seven months had been tiring and hectic, for both juniors and seniors. I still remember when I first stepped into TA32, how the music really touched my heartstrings, which made me want to be part of this wonderful, bonded community that makes such beautiful music. And indeed, after joining this cca, my hypothesis has proven true. That nj angklung is a warm cca with all sorts of caring and funny people.

The preparation for the Reminiscence concert and the memorization of scores after scores of music pieces; the time spent laughing, talking and eating; the many scandals between the few male seniors and the rest of the female senior population of angklung; listening to Mr Dzul's interesting encounters and his ever entertaining jokes; reading Times or doing your tutorials while the practice session was carried out in that crammed TA 32 on the third floor, have now become a memory. Wouldn't you agree, dearest seniors, that somehow or rather, amongst all that franticness and complaints, there's still this feeling of accomplishment and joy after every concert or performance? The feeling of, "Whoa, finally it's over", "Our hardwork paid off" and "Yeah, it was a good performance" kind of thing. And now even as you recollect those times when you would whine and grumble when Michell said there was an extra practice this particular week or perhaps an announcement regarding ending practices late, there's this sweetness that lingers, like an aftertaste so strong that it engraves it's aroma into your very taste buds when it has finally come to an end?

I believe these one and a half years spent in angklung ensemble will remain an indelible experience and memory in each one of you. Keep on rocking on seniors. For you have been the best mentors to us. The very best.
