honestly, time really flies! in 4 days SYF is here, on the 31st of march, i'm stepping down as a band member, a clarinetist, an instrument i/c...

it's all so fast, looking at the countdown written on the class white board...
65 days to first olvl paper of the year if i'm not wrong...

I've survived so long in deyi, slowly i've come to like deyi, though there are still points whereby i find that deyi isn't the best place, but it has left me with going 4 years of experience, 4 years of knowledge, 4 years of friendship, 4 years of life, and moreover, these precious 4 years of memories.

I remember how i came to deyi with the mindset that, i as long as i do well, nothing else matters, at the end of the day olvl is the important thing and nothing else.

I went into 108 thinking: "its going to be like last year, i'm going to be alone again with this attitude of mine"

But time passed, now in 409, i think: "i have many friends, a few close/good friends, made a best friend, did pretty well, and i have changed."

Although i know there are still people who don't really like me, but i feel it's ok, cause it's their own thinking, can't force them to like me right? hahas xD

Well, really standing where i am, i have lots to say. I remember how i left yang zheng pri without longing to ever go back. But here i am, i want to go back to deyi, to see my juniors, to see those friends who have treasured me and changed me. Even being classmates helped.

i still can't believe i'm stepping down soon! >___<

In secondary 1:
Band life was damn tough! we were until military band rules as we were the pioneer batch. Then i loved those days where we laughed and joke. I still rmb getting punished on the first day of band practice for not bringing a bottle...i did 40 push ups lols :P
i remember how i dread band, nvr wanted to go...

In secondary 2:
SYF, our very first SYF as Symphonic Band, getting a bronze was a REALLY happy thing, we worked hard for it, we learnt fast i rmb, we had to as we were the pioneer going for SYF (: i was made the "first" trainee nco? xDD haha was librarian till i got transferred to Instrument I/C
rmb i felt so happy then! hahas xD

In secondary 3:
Our dear juniors came back from the military side if i'm not wrong, had juniors, times were fun but really there were bad times too...i got to like band though...

In secondary 4:
I can't believe i'm saying this, but really, i've grown to love band. I can't believe i have to step down soon, though studies are important, the amount of time i spent in band..i complain a lot in band..but complains and unhappiness aside, i think i will miss band. Band is like a great part of my secondary school life? with us going through everything almost everyday when it comes to SYF period...but i think we truly enjoy band. We seniors still care for our juniors.

[i think i'm already writing the report lols xD]

yes, my week would become really empty once i have stepped down. i think...it's going to be empty ):

come 31 st March,
if deyi symphonic band, which we have gone thru all those hard times improved together, get a silver. I will be VERY VERY HAPPY. maybe even reliefed.
if we get a bronze again, i'll feel ok..but a little sad?
if its a COP, i'll cry. I'll realy cry. For every thing we put into that final SYF we sec 4s pioneer put in, i think we at least deserve to touch that silver. or at least a high bronze.

Time really really flies... i feel so sad ):
