keke. I know I have a substantial.. handful of dongsaengdeul here on AFF whom I hadn't seen your face, but it's alright, I believe we will have the chance to do so in any point of our life :p

So.. I am going to share about my younger brother, real blood-related one :p

He's rather musically inclined like me, and we share a passion for music though.

He's now in the Symphony Band in school and he's the Concert Master *proud to say that*

Apparently, a Nationwide competition is taking place and it's the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF in short) and it's an Arts competition.

So any forms of Arts and Music groups from every school would be taking part in the SYF competition.

Apparently, I am a Guzheng Ensemble Player who did represent my school for 2 consecutive SYF competitions along with MYFOURKs and our ensemble members as well.

It's really a stressful period for my friends and I as we are handling our major exams and the competition at the same time, having a really strict instructor definitely doesn't help much as well.

And so, the members cried quite often after getting scolded by the instructors and all, we practiced till late nights and starts practice early in the morning.

From Monday to Sunday, we practiced so as to perfect our playing and to play as an ensemble.

No joke, it's really just practice, eat, study and then practice, eat and it just goes on and on...

It's tough to be doing the same old thing over and over especially when you are so stressed up, it might sometimes make things worse.

However, the good thing is that, we got really bonded.

We understand and care for each other even more and we are really close to each other.

These memories are really worth keeping and I will never forget about it.

You might be curious how are the results, don't you?

Well..

Let me just talk a little about the different rankings.

There are..

1st: Gold with Honours (You play very very well)

2nd: Gold (You play very well)

3rd: Silver

4th: Bronze

Last: COP (Certificate of Participation -.-)

so different schools are graded the same and there can be like 10 to 20 Gold awards schools though :p

I am rather proud to say that..

we managed to acheive..

Gold (:

Share with me your experience with competitions as well (:
