“ 每个人的人生，都有一段片刻在等，那叫做过渡期。 

我安慰自己 

每个人的人生，都有一段考验在等，那叫做别放弃。 

我激励自己” - 严爵【困在台北】

Dear Rose,

Which destination is our next? I've been thinking and wandering around, puzzling, swirling for an answer, which is nearly perfect and fits right.

Currently soon a diploma graduate. Jobless still seeking for that one thing I can hold on to. Tried a few but simply success never comes easy. If not music, what else - writing. Suddenly came across some thought of having a second major, what if - language and literature I guess. Two powerful arts in expressing love to eternity. Poetry is definitely my favorite.

Which plan for a degree? Lately here is the thinking I focus most. All information for preparing an audition, documents and qualifications, so on. Marques Young replied " sure!" when I asked him for trombone lesson, but I doubt myself not ready to meet him yet. As I felt the guilt when Zachary Bond questioned on my daily practice routine. No doubt, the only solution - practice superb hard!

Started MPYO Weekly Intensive Training (WIT) and Klpac Symphonic Band weekly rehearsal had already been a while. I was expecting a tutor from MPO desperately but they postponed it week by week, finally they are sending a tubist on this week. Blessed my jealousy watching strings players sectional for the Mozart concert - Ciaran, conductor. Lucky that I always learnt something inspiring from Kenji playing next to me in the Klpac Symphonic Band, whom is a very humble and skillful trombone player from Japan.

Love, mom and dad, I promised myself being a good girl, forever I am grateful to be born and raised in a supportive family. Despite all sacrifices and hardships, they tolerate my headstrong - my greedy calling towards music making. I constantly doubt myself but I must not disappoint any of us.
