i spent 5 years of my life in an institution called 'band'. i have no idea why did i join it..but i guess its because i like music. i hate it so much, at first. it was all about physical, infact i called it 'military-like' training. i hate to stand in the line, which means i cannot move at all. i hate to be scolded and punished, its tiring. i simply hate it. and that was during early years of my experience. then, as time goes, i started to realize that there is more to that 'physical torture'.
i learned about time management, i learned to be on time. i learned to respect other people's time. i learned about spirit and passion, i learned about respecting others. i learned about willingness to sacrifice time, i learned to be there for others. i learned to support my teammate. i learned to listen, most importantly is to listen when other people is talking. i remember coming into the bandroom, and be completely silent when others are playing. not a sound. i repeat, not a sound. i learned new things.
i am thankful that i joined this institution-that-i-once-hate, or else i wont be like this now. the things i like is about physical thing. keeps me fit and alert. in band, there's no such thing is 'tak tau pon', 'tak dapat pass up'.. or else, abes sume kene dende. i like the team work, the spirit. how i wish i am still in the band, how i miss the practice, how i miss being in the line...how i miss everything about it now. some will questions, why do i hang on to things in the past. my answer's simple : it is a part of me.
all in all, i am glad i learned the things i learnt. i learnt about life.
