MY JOURNAL REFLECTION(GUITAR)

GUITAR CLUB

MY EXPECTATION

I chosed to participate in this guitar club because i have passion

for music...i joined the guitar class provided by ite ce and got

selected to be in the guitar ensemble group..

I got started when we were asked to choose a cca during our


orientation week..When i saw that there is guitar class and

guitar club,i thought of trying my luck to be someone in there..

What i get for going the guitar class,is getting familiar with all


the chords and lead scale...and in guitar club,what i gain is the

exposure that never i go through before like for

example;performing to other schools and entertainment

center..Isn;t that cool?:)

HIGHLIGHTS & CHALLENGES

There are many things that i like playing guitar...playing

chords,solo and harmonizing music is really fun if u really put

your heart and soul in the song that you are playing...We also

learn how to compose song,arrange chords and solo into our

lyrics..but the best thing in this guitar club,i like playing in

guitar ensemble...low and high notes chords are being put

together to gives out harmonizing music..

What i learnt in this association is teamwork,confidence and


creativeness..You need teamwork in the guitar ensemble to

produce a nice and sweet song...You need confidence to face the

crowd and perform..And lastly,you need creativeness to

compose your own song.


There are few challenges that i go through during the guitar

class and guitar club training/performances..actually,i can't

deny that it's really difficult actually to learn all the chords and

solo scale..but however,i tried my best to learn whatever i'm

able to learn..In guitar club training/performances,i do able to

play guitar but when it comes to performing on the stage,i

experience the fear that come across me..however,with my

passion in music i manage to put aside my fear and perform my

best..And i hope with the passion that i build can bring me

success in my music life...:)


MY REFLECTION

The thing that matter most in my music life is not stopping

learning new things...It is because music is a big thing u look

carefully at it....So,if u learn just the basic thing,how can u go

far,right?Thats the point...:)For what i think,every failures gaves

us experience and every success gaves us the standard we are..

The lesson that i learn throughout this activities is do not look

into failures..alwaes try to achieve success..:)In the future,i

would like to be a musician...maybe lar..If my son/daughter

would like to learn how to play guitar,i can teach them and that

can help to expand my music life throughout my generation..I

do becime a better person,because i get to to build

teamwork,confidence and creativeness in me...With all this

value,i'm sure i can go far if i maintain it..

My Journal Reflection(NDP)

In this journal reflection,i'm taking my ndp traning,being a cadet inspector and my

guitar club as my 11 hours of elective activities.


MY EXPECTATIONS


I chose to participate in ndp perfomance,be a cadet inspector and guitar club because


i found that a lot can be obtained in other than just participating.



NATIONAL DAY PARADE 2008....



In this event i learnt a new experience on getting up on a power-riser.it is a get


experience because to get onto the power-riser itself is not easy...can you imagine

how i walk,run,hop and do jumpstyle with it?However,its really fun after i get use to

the power-riser because i feel like i'm taller than those who are already tall,hahaha....



I started to join national day parade performance when my class advisor voice out


about who wants to join the sskyrunning performance in ndp.....when i think about

it,its good for me to try new things in life...Before we get into the performance

team,we have to undergo the proficiency test and we are given 1 month to master on

the power-riser...That's incudes running,hopping and jumpstyling...



I hopes that i gets to make the crowd on the floating platform or those viewers at

home enjoy watching the section i'm performing which is "THE SPRING".



HIGHLIGHTS & CHALLENGES



The best part about about this ndp show is i get to know a lot of new friends from


different polys,ite's,and even those who had started working..it is a big

explosure..One more things i like about ndp show is that when we go for the training,i

can see how stong is singapore's bond..it really touch my heart..



From there,i learnt that in everything we do we need teamwork to get things done


smoothly..therfore,we should not thing about ourselves only,thing about others too..



One of the challenges that i encounter is when i met with an accident during one of


the training..it happens really fast..i was jumping with my power-riser on..as i was

jumping,everything is okay but when it comes to a sudden stop,i can't feel my leg and

then i drop...that is where my challenges start,'THE PAIN','RECOVERING'..hmm..



After the accident,i was told by the doctor that my knee is swollen it takes 2 months to


recover...however,i encourage myself to do some therapy activities fo my leg so that it

can recover faster..but one ting that i will never forget is the pain that i feel...



MY REFLECTIONS


The things that mattered the most is all of us have to do the best to make the show a

great show..Eventhough i had an injured leg but i will just give a try to put up my best

in the actual day.. For me,when i fall,it means that i've learnnt something that is

balancing when jumping with power-risers...and when i success,it means a lot on my

patience..during my recovering tyme.. A life lesson that i've learnt is

"perserverance",Although,i met with challenges like tiredness,pains and a lot more

things,i still think of getting first thing done first..:) In future i can conduct the ndp

trainng myself maybe...it is because i've gone through all those things that i'm doing

right now...yes..of course!hehe...what i mean is although i walk with an injured leg,i

still go for the training..join them..that shows that i am trying my best to do whatever

i can do although i'm one-legged...

okay,that's all for my blog on my ndp reflection..feel free to see my other blog:);):)
