i would like to share you guys something. to those who had watched Lord Of The Rings, this may be familiar to you(i'm a fan!:D). the soundtrack used in the movies really touches and moves me. the way it reflects the scenes and all, Howard Shore (the composer) did really an impressive job. in these three songs i've posted below, it is my most favourite themes because it makes me think about my life and the things that i love. and one of them, is ESMB.

This first song is called 'The Fellowship'. Fellowship means companionship of persons on equal and friendly terms,
the condition of sharing similar interests, ideals, or experiences, as by reason of profession, religion, or nationality. we all share the same interest, and that makes us a fellowship. listen to it, and you'll know what i'm trying to reach out to you.

The second song is 'Shire'. The Shire, in the movie, is actually a really happy place where everyone is friendly and the environment is ever so lovely, it's really evergreen. eventhough we may be facing the most difficult times during band, i want you guys to stay happy and positive always. listening to this song makes me smile. with it's light and heart warming melodies, it makes me think of the most wonderful things in life. i know, things may be tough for some of you but we'll make it as a band.whatever the result is, it's actually the love and friendship within us that really matter the most. okay, i shall move on. i wanna cry..

This last song is called Rohan. from this song, it makes me have this "don't worry, i know it's tough but hold on there. you can do it" thinking. it's like you've faced alot, you've had alot of hardships but now, it's time to rise. there's still a way, there's still a will. i obtained this keep-on-trying attitude. i really hope you guys would never ever feel like giving up.

this is one of the best thing i could do for all of you. band, it's really time to stand up. we've been through alot. we've had so many practices during this holiday, and oh ya. i really want to give credit to those who has been constantly coming for sectionals. i hope when school reopens i see a change. SYF is coming fast, i won't tell you exactly how many more practices we are left, because thinking of it gives me the shivers cause i don't think we are really ready yet. i really hope from this post, it gives you some inspiration through the songs. and can you hear how beautiful they played? they're so in tune and they follow the dynamics and they have phrasings. i know you guys might be saying, "come on Farah, they're older than us! for us it's impossible!". but hey, look at pei xin primary. i think if they were to play this kind of song, they can make it. when i watched pei xin's concert yesterday, i was asking myself. why can they do that? why not me? why not us? as what quoted by Adidas, nothing is impossible. we can, we can be as good as them but it's up to you because YOU are responsible for the song. YOU are responsible for the good playing. YOU are responsible for making the song alive. open your eyes, open your heart. and this has been reiterately reminded, FEEL THE MUSIC. if you won't let the music enter your soul, how are you going to play it nicely with phrasing and all? close your eyes, and just enjoy while you play. do not concentrate too much on attempting to follow line by line. try this and nothing goes wrong. believe me, really trust me.

alright. this is such a long post. but i appreciate it alot if you actually read it from the first word to my last. i shall see you guys soon, and and on wednesday, please come for sectionals everyone.

with love,

farah (:
