Ok, I don’t blog for a reason, but here I am, so obviously I got something to talk about. As it is, I have been going to Pingyi band practices a lot, well, its that I’m also working in Band World, that is why, so yea, Mr. Kenrick Poh couldn’t be to the practices also because he have this final year project thing which he needs to go to the warehouse to do something. (obviously I don’t know what is it) So I am left in Ping Yi alone most of the time. Well, what a way to learn I must say….So it is, that ping yi has decided on going to the indoor competition, and hey, it’s a goal to work towards to. However everything is there, except faith….. Well, to say the least, can sense that Poh is not that entu about pingyi going for competition, the way he speaks whenever I ask him about pingyi, and he keeps telling me that must think properly. Well. I must say that’s not how he used to be. I remember that in the past no matter how big our obstacles, we go all out to cross it. Even if the sheep is died, we will make sure the sheep becomes alive again. However this time is quite different…. Well, as for me, I have the faith but lack the skills, yea I’m doing my best to what I can I terms of my capabilities. I really really really want to inspire them to what they can truly achieve…Just like 2 years ago, where we dreamt the near impossibility! Yes, they may be small, with only 40 strong, but for one thing, I know they got the heart into playing their music, so what they need now is to believe in themselves. Well its been 10 years since they last joined the indoor, and I’m sure nobody in pingyi had a taste of what the competition taste like. Indeed, this fear and uncertainty could be sensed now, however I will give in my sweat and blood to replace these fears…mark my words! To all band members of the Ping Yi Military Band, lend me your strength as I would lend mine, Band Is about the entire group effort, the importance of the individual as well the importance of the entire group places equal emphasis. We must get that 5 more people, those that were once ours, and that medal ahead of us.

*A good leader brings people where they want to go, but a great leader brings people where they ought to go, not want to go!!

*Like the competition piece “Into the Strom’’ our situation are the same, moving into the storm, unknown to what might arise ahead of us, however, out resolve must be like the storm, fierce and intense, charging towards our destination!!!!
