We had our recital post mortem a few days ago.. I was quite disappointed in the attendance.. very few people came despite we had already posted up the announcement 4 days ago.. I expected ppl to complain about the recital as usual.. but i did not expect those who talked the most to be our organizing committee... I'm not against anyone but hey, if u has so many comments n thoughts about the way we did things, y didnt u ppl voice out earlier? its not that you didnt had the chance to do so... When we asked u all to voice up during meetings, u all juz sat there with ur arms folded n shaked ur head.. n when everything is over, u ppl suddenly became the best critiques in the world. This event is not about the top 3 decision makers onli.. its about the whole organizing committee. Quote from a friend:" don't forget... we are all here because of music". Since when has this event become so political? n since when has it become a fight over power? I remember having so much fun back in my foundation years in melaka. There were no such thing as politics. We worked together, strived together.. all because of music.. n now, what do i see? ppl quarreling over authorities, quarreling over the decisions being made. There was even a heated conversation over the definition of composing. Since when has music become so stereotyped? Music used to be something to express how we feel... something in which we can chanel our emotions and present it to the audience.. but from that day's debate, it seemed that composing was onli melody and words. full stop. nothing else. well, i will never agree to that n i stand firm on what i believe in. Compositional techniques are the methods used to create music. Useful skills in composition include writing musical notation, instrumentation, and handling musical ensembles (orchestration). Other skills include extended techniques such as improvisation, musical montage, preparing instruments, using non-traditional instruments, and other methods of sound production. I got this from Wikipedia. If song arrangement is not a part of composing, then pls tell me what is compositional techniques?

anyway, enough said. I wanna extend my apologies to a few person also.. i was in a super bad mood that day until i shouted at a few of my friends. i really feel bad for doing that.. but i have been so stressed out for the past month..

i'm just glad that everything is over..

i look upon the moon and stars at 5:42 PM
