Wah at least you have a camp... Our camp NEVER materialised cos of darn admin matters with the school and the concert's too near. I was supposed to be group leader too... Haha. Not that I can work with the rest though, but the J1s are quite fun.
I got Band 1 for Project Work! ...and I dunno how to do my Math S Paper homework!!!
I can't believe that the previous post came through... there was some stupid error and it told me it could not publish, so I thought I lost the whole thing!!! Haha...
Ok let's talk about today's subject: Professionalism. Guess where I'm coming from again? I used to think that the reason that I couldn't work with the others had something to do with me. Now I know that it's the mentality of the majority of them, rather. That has to do with professionalism, or rather, the lack of it.
Do you take pride in your work? I know I do. For me, there is no greater satisfaction than a job well done. Sadly, either that does not apply to the others, or success is not their main reason for joining.
Why did I join? I had experience in that area, and I thought this would provide me a more mature and professional experience as compared to my previous groups. We-ll... It did, albeit marginally...
It comes as a simple task, listen, note it in your mind, then perform. It's easy, but it fails to materialise. Result, ultimate screwing by the conductor. You know what I hate? And you know what I think other people in the chorale like me hate? Like Adrian and Wenze? I hate it when I get scolded or blamed for something that I have not done. I hate it when I put in the effort to remember and perform something, but other people don't, and I get screwed along with the rest for "not doing" it. It's ridiculous.
Granted, I'm not the most perfect of people, I do make mistakes. But when I do, I acknowledge it, not hide behind other people and pretend nothing's wrong. So don't go around telling other people what's wrong with their singing when there's nothing wrong at all. Go check your own singing first, not as if you're a perfect singer. Jackass.
See that's my point. Why did the other people join chorale? Do they REALLY love to sing? Or do they love someone in the chorale and are joining it for them? Or do they just want to have a good time?
That's professionalism for you. Something's got to give, and I must admit I nearly gave on Wednesday. I can't work with unprofessional people. Perhaps I'll quit even before the concert comes. Wednesday was really the last straw. We'll see.
