Pre- 2nd Year 2nd Sem

My blog is getting a little bit dusty again so here I am.

My status? Currently back in UTP one month earlier before the new semester kicks in. UTP Chinese Orchestra will be involved in 2 upcoming performances: Konsert Diraja (which our Royal Highness the Sultan of Perak will attend) and Tapestry of Colours (will be held in Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra). Both are monumental events that will be in their grandest scale, hence the reason why I'm back one month earlier to practise for them.

It was a rough start to settling down. The management was so strict in handling our accommodation till the point of stupidity and defying common sense. I won't eloborate further. There's so much to rant about and I don't want to turn this into a long-winding post. In short, I just wish UTP management will at least put some trust in its own students and treat us as mature and grown-up adults. Enough said. Despite that, I'm now back in my permanent room in V5, with a good internet connection so I'm grateful and happy.

Life's so far so good for me. It was not all work and no play. The practising hours may be gruesome to look at but we did get enough rest and plenty of days off. Base on personal experience, this period of month also observes some closer bonding between UTP CO junior and senior members, as well as strengthening ties between secondary students from other SMK schools. The way I describe, everything seems to be on a bed of roses. Well, not quite true. The worst has yet to come. Deadlines are creeping nearer, and I have a feeling somewhere somehow there's a tensed-up spring ready to snap. For now, I will ignore this gut feeling and focuses on my practices. To my batchmates, holiday is edging closer to the end so enjoy it to the max!
