As usual, Saturday band practice. I managed to drag myself out of bed at 5.30am for breakfast with the usual people and a few more others at Alif, our usual breakfast makan place. Enjoyed my Saturday morning! THE BAND SOUNDED GOOD! Run through the parade movements for Chingay and they change the formation again. Drum Maaaaaaaajor really got all of our attention. When we're closing up after concert-y formation, he threw his mace and the last three rows was suppose to move backwards. In the end, everyone got so engrossed seeing him throw the mace that nobody moved, and everybody had a good laugh at each other. Hahaha, thank God it rained halfway, we actually continued playing till end of the drum solo for Sing Sing Sing. And suddenly the rain got more and more heavy, and everybody ran all the way from one end of the carpark to the other end. Never had so much fun rehearsing for a performance. Oh and some Malaysian band members came to visit us, their first time visiting our band. The most amazing thing: they can all speak English and they are all girls! Okay, I'm not trying to say that Malaysians can't speak English but because the previous Malaysia band that visit us mostly can't speak English. Had lunch with the usuals and they came my house to do homework! Kinda productive, everybody was doing homework. Except for Clenn and Hugo. Lower secondary life, how I miss it... Now upper secondary already, must do homework, cannot skip school and must listen in class. So much for good grades. Went Junction10 in the evening, my first time there even though I lived so near to it.
Sometimes, I think back to what Wenlid have at her study desk. She pasted this post-it note saying: 'Pursue you passion, not education'. But the world now is different, everybody looks at your certificates and level of studies first. It doesn't mean that people who did badly in school can't get paying jobs what! We're not stupid people, just lazy to study. It don't mean that if we're bad in studies, we're bad in everything else. Lol, what a practical world.
Tomorrow is Sunday! And we're back at our place of worship. To speak the truth, I lost faith in God for years. I don't see how he has plan things for me when I always get shit. I prayed and prayed, but my prayers weren't answered. But its only till last year, I started to feel that God has always been there for me, he made me go through all these obstacles because he wants me to grow and learn from my mistakes. A lot people kept asking me why I'm going back to church. Simple, I feel a need to go back to worship the Lord again and commit myself totally to him, for he is a great and caring Father. Thank Lord!
Have a good rest tonight, God bless! (:
