hello my dear wonderful juniors.

i've heard youall aren't having that smooth a band journey now, so i'm here to update, and give youall some kind of moral boost, if i actually succeed in posting this up, in the first place.

i know band gets tough most of the time, but there are the nice moments you know? like how after all the stress of preparing for SYF, the results come back as a shiny gold. like how after being scolded like crazy for not being able to play a certain phrase, during the performance/concert, it comes out perfectly.

its sort of like the oyster. it has to endure all that pain, having that grain of sand within it. so it keeps trying to make itself feel better, but it only makes the grain of sand become that much bigger and that much more uncomfortable. but you see, after all that, the grain of sand becomes a beautiful and valuable pearl. its just that way. suffer to achieve, kind of thing.

it might be hard to tolerate the kind of stuff you get hurled at you, but you know what? its all meant to make you better. i know most of the time it actually isnt your fault, but thats just the way she is.

just play your best, and have no regrets as you proceed with your band life. i know i didnt, and i actually feel that void within me now.

and in everything, we, your seniors, are here for you. feel free to call us up [home phone, for me, please?] or send emails! we'd be more than happy to help in any way we can.

with much love,
limting.
