Reminiscence II is over. Can you believe it? All the Wednesdays & Saturdays, the hot & stuffy times in TC36, the glaring & hot OHP which Mr Dzul didn't like which was then upgraded to the visualiser, chionging of homework during break, mass orders of bubble teas and grape juice and whatnots, times we practices up to 8 and people rushing for the side gate, practices till 9 where we'll have to order pizza, all the hard work we have to put in to carry the kulintangs and percussions and Mr Dzul's keyboards, the pub stunts, the rehearsals at Lt5.Wow, time just fly so fast. Anyway, I just wanna say how proud I am of every single one of you, because we've had practice for almost every single day for the past two weeks and its all your hard work and perseverance and teamwork and consistency and togetherness and .... love(: I felt that the ensemble has grown closer as we got nearer to the concert and I hope that this journey, though painful at times, have somehow taught us something or that we managed to gain something out of it. I'm like, damn sleepy and tired right now but I cannot put off writing here because I will just forget how I felt like if I were to type tomorrow morning.
Yesterday, I wanted to say something like this after practice, but knowing how um emotional I can get at times, I couldn't continue as I started to think what it would feel like without angklung practices. Which was why I just said those few lines after Haslinda said I had something to say because I was already starting to tear up haha. Even as I am typing this, my eyes start to linger with tears (HAHA is that even the right phrase?) As much as I feel that practice is tiring but it is also fun and the music we make is unique and the friends you make there: AWESOMENESS. So everyone, back to studying and homework and tutorials and SPAs and lecture tests and common tests haha!
