Today I came to NUS to find a place to practice what I learned last Sunday, since I took a Guzheng class in CC. If I can’t find a Guzheng and can’t practice playing, then I’ll nearly forget what I learned after a week and can’t perform well in next class. Then the money and time is wasted.
After asking librarians about where are many musical instruments, I took the B bus to a place near YIH and Music Conservatory. I heard there was a Chinese Orchestra in YIH. After searching and climbing to the 7th floor, listening to a debate, communicating with two seniors from USP, the whole morning has passed and I still can’t find the place. I began to ask myself:” Do I really want to continue learning Guzheng or perform on the stage? Or it’s just because I don’t want to waste a so-called specialty? As the taking part to the clubs won’t do any help to the CCA, is it important to enter the Chinese Orchestra?” If I dropped the class now, because I hadn’t pay for the class, I would have more time on the weekend to do other things. I wouldn’t have to find a place to practice the boring etude which is still unfamiliar to me now. And I needn’t get up early tomorrow morning.
Actually a senior just now had asked others for me and told me that the Chinese Orchestra had an activity at 6.00 p.m. Because I can’t find the place, I wanted to go back to my hostel and thought about it, and maybe I’ll come here in the evening.(I visited the Music Conservatory later,and I was told that there are only western music. Never mind, by the way, the building was so marvelous!)
Finally I chose to go to the NUS this afternoon, at least to see what the club was like. I prepared three questions: 1.What kind of level of the member will they accept? 2.Will the activities take much time? 3.Is it OK if I practice playing Guzheng out of the activity time in their place?
This evening, I met a passer-by who was the member of the Chinese Orchestra, so eventually I found the place.The activity ended at 9:30.After staying there for 2 more hours, I decided to join the club.Here are my reasons: 1.I like to play Guzheng in fact. I believe after a difficult time, I can enjoy playing it again.Studying Guzheng is the right thing in my bridging course, even in my life.2.I can practice playing what I learned in the Chinese Orchestra club and improve the skills in the club by learning from others. 3.There will be many performing opportunities. The experience on the stage is very good for my development of character. 4.The atmosphere in the club is cozy and happy, and I like being a member of the club. 5.It only has a two-hour activity in a week, so it won't take much time.

So that's my decision of one day. The experience in NUS was much more exciting than in the dormitory.I found I still have to improve my English speaking. Maybe I need to face the Singapore and NUS more, rather than hanging around the hostel.
sometimes, we really face some situations that are really difficult to decide which way to go. but i do think, if you choose your ways, you should not regret. just go on making it
ReplyDeleteSometimes we do not need to consider too much. Considering too much results in nothing bur a regretful life. As long as you like it, just do it~~
ReplyDeleteGive my best wishes to your musical dream hehe~~If you choose your dream you should hold on to it,even if there are difficultis;but at least you can keep it as a hobby.
ReplyDeleteOnly if you insist on your choice and keep on working hard you will achieve your dream one day!Best wishes for your dream.
