*[[ time to let go ]]*

By the time I reached the band room on Saturday, i was 2 hours late. A JUNIOR came up to me, "Eh. Why so late?" I was pissed. I wished I had stayed in bed. 5 minutes later, 2 other band members came up to me separately asking why I was late. I kept myself from blowing up at them, and calmly shot back at how I wasn't obligated to come in the first place, considering how I was one of the few graduating this year who even bothered to come.

Honestly. My time is over. I'm no longer an NYP student. My admin card has God-knows-when been inactivated and is INVALID, such that I couldn't even enter the block without using my brother's card for entry. As such. Shouldn't you understand that I'm freed from school activities, which by the way, includes BAND? As soon as I had received my crappy but acceptable-for-graduation results, I had a choice. Whether or not I decide to show up or turn up late or stay home and sleep in or spend my precious time on something, it was UP TO ME.

So to my dear percussions (and bandmates), it's not like I have developed skills that the band cannot do without, but on the contrary, I still suck like hell and I'm sure you guys can cope with just one member gone, just as how they (we) did when past members had left. That said, I hope you, my dear percussionists, will remain faithful, to yourselves and to the band. I won't be around to call and text you guys to go for pracs anymore, so please, do yourselves the favour and encourage each other. Set a good example for new batch of year ones so that they too will attend practices regularly. Strive to become better and better, and do our seniors Teo Hui and Iskandar proud.

As for me, I'm not abandoning you. As and when, I'll be around. But when I do decide not to appear, GET USED TO IT. Step up, and dare to play. Get shot by Laoshi, and learn from it. No matter how many times he shoots you, play. I did.
