Anugerah Dekan / Convocation @ UPSI

Congratulations to all my pals!  25th Nov - We celebrate our graduation for the milestones we achieved along with the joy from our loving family. It is a day to be proud of, thanks to all the educators for leading us to path where we desire. I arrived, I am here, walking towards the central of stage. After years being a musician in the choir and convocation orchestra. But what now?  After walking towards to the second half of the stage, offstage. This thought has been haunting me for some time, I am not sure. It is good to be unsure I think, possibility is everywhere as long we ain't giving up on something we long desire. Dean was happy for me. I know he is because he is. How proud a teacher is and how sad can a teacher be, to watch students leaving campus in every graduation? How complicated that moment of feelings can be? I hardly feel but I know I am truly proud of all my teachers, thank you, thank you!

First of all, I am deeply in love with my section: Marques, Rizqin and Miane Sng. How lucky I am to have such wonderful people around whom Marques would call - my family.

How could I not tell that I am so blessed to have all of them, thank you, so much love! I would never forget the night we drove to Zouk Club KL to watch Marques' performance with his Bassment Syndicate; first supper at Burger Lab where Miane Sng and I took a selfie and sent it to Brett; English classic oldies 'disco' in the car with Rizqin and Sheng; funny jokes and heartfelt words; night at small rehearsal room where Rizqin and I 'struggled&#

Dear Rose,   It's Alnwick Music Camp week! All I wanted is to meet Kevin Field - well known conductor whom used to conduct the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. I still heard about him from many of my friends. I am lucky enough to grab this opportunity to work with him towards lots of interesting music and activities.   Thank you to Nicole Thomson as well. She is the coach for vocal section. We had so much fun doing dancing and singing games with her as she has fantastic personalities, which always never failed to support and encourage us throughout the process of learning outside the comfort zone. I finally be able to brave myself conducting the orchestra was all credits to her, and Mr Field whom guided me on my conducting techniques trial.   I will definitely not to forget my camp mates. They all are from different ages, background and places but undoubtedly they are all amazing individuals. I appreciate their help and support towards all of me. I wish I would remembe
