SYF is tommorrow

Yeap, Singapore Youth Festival for concert bands in Secondary school starts today and my band will be performing and judged tomorrow. It will take place at Victoria Concert Hall, at around 10 in the morning, which means that ill not be going for lessons tommorrow. Tomorrow is judgement day. I dont know what ill get tomorrow, gold, silver or bronze, but whatever how good or bad the result is, i will take the medal with dignity. Thats right, no matter how good or bad we played, i will take the medal with dignity. No point crying and whining about it nor blaming each other for their lousy playing. What the teacher said was true, as a band we all must take the medal with dignity. Its a team effort. Besides, its just a competition. Never takes these things as a matter of life and death. You know your strength and weaknesses but the whole point of playing as a band is playing as a team, its not about individual players.

So what if other neighbouring schools get a gold or had improved tremendously and gotten a silver. I is just impossible to compare. And the word “compare” its the worst word i ever hear. I never like being compared for something so superficial and something that is sooo unfair in judgement and standing.

Today, i shouted at the band, its been a long time since i did it, but i hoped that i would never do it again. It just makes me feel that i have one less friend after the whole incident. If i were to do it again and again, what friends left do i have. I also dont like people who are so caught up by their own negative emotions that the person jst breaks down and expects other people to comfort you. Plain immaturity. Its not good to let your negative emotions run through you and effect other people negatively. How in the nine hells would you know the result of the competition when the competition hasnt even bagan!? You cried and whine as if you are some sort of a seer or prophecy who can predict the future.

I just hope that everything goes well tomolo and hoped that tomolo will be the best days of my life. Adios and hope that these kind of people grow up for once!! If you want to get emotional, do it privately!!
