We Are

I'm currently listening to the recording of the song We Are! (band version) played by the SPSB. Yep, I am playing in the recording as well. I was a player in the concert Musical Delights XXXIV in which the song was recorded during. And it was my first time playing in Esplenade. And somehow, it feels good to listen to a song in which you're involved inside it. You're a player, a musician of that song. It feels wonderful.

As a musician, performing in Esplenade is, and has always been one of my biggest dreams. I have performed there, and to me, 23/1/2011 was one of the happiest days of my life. It was when my concert was held. Even though it was a tiring, hectic and sort of emotional day, it's a day which I will never forget. A day where my dream came true.

And of course, not forgetting those "things" which had happened earlier before the concert, way before. But anyway, I told myself that during the concert, I'm going to put that aside, somewhere far from my heart. I'm going to play like how a musician should play, and that I would really enjoy myself on that day.

And yes I did. I enjoyed myself, and I've put my best shot.

Even though many people don't recognise me in band. Who am I, what's my name, how do I look like, what instrument I'm playing, I'm just here to say: I am very honoured to play with you guys. With these talented and wonderful musicians whom share a same passion as mine. We all played together, well, and impressed the audience. Most importantly, we had fun, we had one of the best times of our lives :)

It's been a week since the concert. I'm sort of missing it. The moments I had as I performed on that grand stage of the Esplenade concert hall. The practices, which ended late, the times I had when I walked to the bus stop with my friend. And not to forget, the days I used to have counting down to the concert. I remember I've counted down from 2 months before, 1 month, and finally, 1 day.

Realising my dream, finding where my passion lays, is one of the happiest things in life. In my heart, in my mind, I just hope that this can continue. I really love performing as a musician, impressing the audiences, playing along with other musicians in a wonderful concert.

Next stop? I want to play a solo there. I want to conduct a band/symphony there. It's not far from my grasp, I know. It's there. I'll just have to wait, and work.

We are a great bunch of musicians.

But I do hope that the situation, gets better and better.

Yep. It will
