YOYOYO! your slacking-but-still-working-dearest-yiyong is here!
okay recently i just realise im not exactly slacking,
but its because,
im not given much duties to fufil!
and when i do get them,
THE OTHER TWO DOGS
( if you dont know they refer to those who have higher power than me other than the teachers :))are busy snatching away the duties from me.
So i've decided to change the term of my bl status to working-but-no-duties-to-perform bl.
okay so babes and dudes, your working-but-no-duties-to-perform bl is here to report on recent band news.
so today we had open house!
the open house was boring.
sadly i have to admit that.
the admin staff team , consisting of pathetic yiang shan, me, germaine and shit ling,
had to sit and rot under the hall's light,
while waiting on parents who looked all the same.
hmm seems the open house was boring,
theres not much things to write right?
but DA DA DA DA ( going from higher octave DA to lower octave DA * sing) ,
your working-but-no-duties-to-perform bl is super inteliigent,
as i have an IQ of -623
i can produce crap even if im suppose to describe vacuum.
So listen up dudes and babes,
your working-but-no-duties-to-perform bl is gonna influence you to ROFL.
here we go!
today the day started out early for many xinminarians.
I dont know what happen from 8:45 am to 10: 45 because i wasnt there,
so lets just skip that part.
When i reached the band room,
germaine was crawling on the floor.
Ah people, she aint a baby although she acts like one,
no no no.
She was being a hardworking band major by searching for the dusty and old brochures.
After she gathered her baton, stick, long metal thingo, ( whatever you call that ) , and a bag of brochures , i joined her and we headed to the hall.
Before that , we removed the REN JIAN REN AI ( chinese proverb for
all see all love ) notices on the noticeboard.
WHY?!
Ah that you must ask my fellow band mate,
because you see,
germaine was complaiining how plain our corner in the hall look,
while the rest of aesthetics group was done up like a collage of magazine cutouts.
Well i couldnt believe it.
But when i reached the hall,
indeed our corner look like some sort of rundown warehouse while the rest of the aesthetic groups corner look like renovated palaces.
so you see.. how serious the situation was?
WELL VITAL AND DEADLY TIMES REQUIRE VITAL MEASURES!
So the bls started plastering the notices on the side wall near the hall door. ( our corner is next to the main entrance)
.
Ok.
i have to admit.
I slack there.
Germaine was grumbling that i wasnt helping.
And she had to hold on the poster and demand scotchtape while i remain like a statue and refused to help her.
So in the end, after 600 years (or maybe even more ) , of Germaine waiting for me to pass the scotchtape, and shit ling had enough laughing at her stupidity, shit ling passed the scotchtape to her.
So after the pasting of the notice,
the 3 bls notice somehow the notice was paste in the wrong place.
YOU SEE , the notice was place on the wall that wasnt behind the table where we were advertising the awards, etc. belonging to the band.
BUT!
it was pasted next to far right of the table.
So its really ironical,
that when you have a big empty space behind the tables,
and a very miserable lonely poster at the side of your table.
OKay but we have to admit our band corner is more colourful than it was before right?
So later on, we added on new features to our corner.
And it looked much better.
IT became from a rundown warehouse, to an old warehouse!
DONT LAUGH!
its still much better okay!
From this my fellow band mates what can you learn?
well, the moral of this story is that although those improvements we made on the band corner may be small, but they still are
significant. By applying this theory to your music journey, you must understand that, some of you may be improving inch by inch, and you may feel that you are improving too slowly, but you still must admit these improvements are significant to making you a better musician.
OF COURSE!
we cannot deny still that large steps and gigantic improvments are much more preferable right?
JUst like will you go to a shop giving 0.1 percent of discount when the shop next to it is giving a 100% discount ?
NO right?
so my fellow band mates, a 100% effort and improvement is much much more attractive and preferable than a 0.1% effort and improvment.
Minute things may bring about a holocaust in a society after a period of time , but a large-scale impact
will defintely bring about a change in the society one second after the large-scale impact is presented.
So if you want to be an
immediate powerful person, do something
big.
Of course you will be telling me, it is so hard.
Of course it is hard dumb dumb!!
come on, life aint a bed of roses.
Spending at least 13 years of your life living in a country full of propaganda and stress,
how can you not deny that band is just another source of challenge Singapore has given to us.
Well, i believe if you really find it hard and stressful to improve your musical skills, or even live through the days where band practices are held, then you have to slap yourself and ask yourself to face it.
Because you cant do anything except either backing out or
embracing it.
Well backing out are for wimps.
These people will never suceed in life, that i can promise you.
People who embrace problems, and turn it to other way around to become their advantage,
are people who have a major upper hand over the rest.
So who do you want to be?
of course there are people who are just in love with the band.
These people are simply people we are trying to adopt or breed.
OKay its not like you guys are animals or anythings ( other than the two dogs).
I believe that one must always make your own decisions.
But one must always make the right one.
so
guys,
i think i've describe and crap alot already.
I guess some of you would be thinking how can our working-but-no-duties-to-perform bl has so much crap in him,
well i guess,
its for me to know, and you to find out.
ain't?
too doos,
keep the positive side in you always!
live strong, be strong.
your working-but-no-duties-to-perform dearest bl,
yiyong.
:)
