Salaams.
its the time of the year, where life gets strenuous and hectic. its so bad, i cant sleep just thinking of the workload and the pressure amounting on these shoulders.got a gig tmr, and i hav yet to rehearse a single song.sheeesh.my throat isnt feelin good either.i am involved in so many things, with so many people from different walks of life.and i dont wanna disappoint any of them.
time with my family again becomes the ultimate sacrifice,especially when its hari raya at the moment. which is why i dont wanna waste time when i'm doing something outside. and i'm missing a lot of prayers. due to this matter.God forgive me.

wednesdays and friday evening has been occupied mostly by muzikarama practice. and at the point of time when i actually 'signed up' for it, i was totally oblivious to what i was gonna be facing rite now.i didnt thought i would be caught up with so much outside activities.i thought i'm not gonna be entering competitions for the rest of my poly life.and now i'm about to face 2 big tests in Asian Beats and SP Star.Asian Beats with Mad-hatter, a recently formed band consisting of my coursemates and myself, since they cant find another vocalist.SP Star is a surprise, considering the fact that i didnt thought i would be representing Sch of Media and Infocomm.I havta, since i 'won' the talentime the sch hosted.

Muzikarama trainings.an issue that concerns me a big deal considering how much commitment i've been giving em.as much as i wanna hav fun during trainings, i dont wanna waste time either. some happenings have been bothering me lately about the trainings. or rather about the PEOPLE involved.Discipline.yes, it hurts me seeing people not turning up, or seeing people joking and laughing their asses off rather than doing what's necessary.some of us are not showing enough maturity to realise the responsibility hanging over us.yea its good to hav fun during trainings but we havta learn to be serious.i'm so tempted to shout at em,but i know i dont own the authority to do that.
this is where we, malays, fall short in this multi-racial society of ours. we hav this bad habit, of just wanting to go thru it without really making the best out of it..most of us would most likely dont really show enough discipline to actually deliver with an impact.i've had the privelage of working with people from other races and it worries me seeing how slow and indisciplined we are compared to them, which is why u see em westerners or chinese owning much of the money here in Singapore.and this is why u see alot of US working FOR em.not WITH em.if we dont step up, we will be forever trailing em. and this is a serious issue.

SO, for the muzikarama people who happen to be reading this, lets get serious and limit the fun.i'm not saying we cant hav fun, just that i feel we should be more serious and disciplined in this.lets make all this time we spend together worthwhile and deliver a great show.
step it up a notch.
i pity the director of ours.

Wassalaam,
Riza Hamizan.
