Here is a story of a ger who studied in poly...she loved Chinese Orchestra and devoted half her time in orchestra when she lst joined..n she was seen in the clubhouse almost everyday, rain or shine..although she was not a talented musician, she practised hard and have done her best in co. However, one day, it suddenly struck her that working so hard was not worth it. Becoz, she realised that co is just an interest, a hobby which occupied so much of her time. Piano, on the other hand, was her passion, which she loved.. but had been cast aside over the last five years, becoz of her involvement in CO. It was then, she realised that hobby was not gg to over rule her passion. Besides, as a student, she oso had cope wif her studies..n being an average student wif a tiny punky brain, she had to study quite hard in order to acheive average results. She was realli wondering what should she do when one day, the nite before an orchestra performance, her friends told her that the conductor of the orchestra was bad mouthing her in front of the whole co. And of course, she was veri angry, as she had realli tried hard to come for practises and had practised yang qin hard in the orchestra, despite the fact that she had onli taken up the instrument for one year. This ger had followed the conductor for five years and all she got was being bad mouthed. Deep down in her heart, the hatred was growing..but upon thinking, she realised that part of it was her fault too. Becoz, she didnt attend practices regularly and there were some songs which she wasnt performing..but it was becoz of the heavy load in her study and the songs werent within her abilites to learn within that short period. It was the breakdown of communication which led to these..all that has happened had happen..given her character, she surely wont go n find the conductor to apologise, coz somehow, she feels that she has given her best for the orchestra and yet wasnt appreciated. She was oso in co in secondary sch and was playing another instruement, but she changed ard 3 instruments throughout her four years in secondary sch, becoz her interest in each instruments didnt last long..but she have realli tried her best to keep her interest burning..becoz of that, well, it realli pissed the teacher off...becoz, who will want a member to keep changing instruments. Then when she came to poly, she played yang qin. Although part of her realli like this instrument, but it was realli hard to learn, given that this ger was almost a music idiot, and the stress to complete learning songs within one year for a concert was too great. Besides juggling between music and studies, this ger oso have her fair share of committment in church, which is her passion too... Church activities occupy at least 3 days out of the whole week and she just couldnt find time to committment to orchestra anymore. Hence, when her frens asked her to be in the CO committee, she had no choice but to reject them. Deep down in her heart, she sincerely hope that her frens will understand her reason for rejecting the post. This ger just wants to spend more time wif her passion rather than her interest..but she goes back to co when they need help wif performances, at times when there are not enuf performers..this is all she can do le..n she sincerely hope that her frens will support her decision and nt probe her about entering the committee le..Thanks for reading this story..if i offended anyone in the process of writing this story, may i apologise...
