The Road Not Taken
by: Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the tother, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy ans wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

+Post-SYF+
Hey guys, sorry for not updating much these days. I've been really busy over the past few weeks due to several huge committments- SYF, COncert, Illness etc. It has been a roller coaster ride and my nerves got the better of me... literally.
I was so close to make to make it to SYF when something terrible happened. I'm was diagnopsed with Ball's Palsy where one of my nerves got swollen due to a possible injury or strain which hjappened to my neck. It has affected half of my face, some of my speech and I can;t smile like before. My world just spun around, affecting me tremendously. It hapenned just a week before SYF and I.. worked so hard in for this SYF and now myu dreams are shattered. There goes my ABRSM certificate, there goes my future... *sobs*
But hey, i said to myself, I can still make music can't I? Maybe not through the saxophone but what about strings, or percussion or even vocals. i can still meke life work, just a bit different that's all. So I picked up the violin which I got for m,y 11th birthday and started bowing! It wasn't bad at first but it was ok. Besides the violin, I'm picking up the piano as well and currently, I'm just working on piano chords since it helps me with my vocals as well.
Talking about vocals, I've started this regime where i would do 2 hours of vocal training everyday so that i can prepare myself for my future.
Anyway, back to SYF, it was nerve-wrecking. Thankfully, Mr Sim allowed me to join the band for SYF and just act out during the competition. I thought to myself, why waste the school's money for the blazer and giving the impression of being one who fails too easily to my section mates. I as SL should show a good example right. So i just joined in so that I could give them moral support and guess what...
I've never been so proud of my section for my whole entire life! They played really, really, really well! Congrats saxophones for making my day on Friday. I guess having the sectionals the night before helps huh? Anyway, there's a high chance that I might consider transferring to the percussion section, but please remember, I will always be a saxophonist by heart and I will still give you guys my support. So to the next SL, I wish you luck and please don't forget to remember me... lolx
Anyway, I'm so glad that YJ Winds ot a Silver and finally, I"M IN A SILVER BAND! After 2 SYFs, finally a SIlver! Hope that we could keep it up and maybe get a GOLD for the next SYF... lolx... let's work together guys.
