Part 2 STRINGS ENSEMBLE

“Why do you love your club so much?” Each and every one of my classmates asked me this question. “Well, I don’t know.” And this is what I always answer. Actually there’s a story behind this club-loving attitude. It all happened last year…

“Hey Sha, can I see your Sunflower Choir song lyrics?” I asked hopefully. “Sure…” Allysha said. Yes, I loved their club songs. Coincidentally, Allysha and Darrelyn picked the same club during Orientation Week last year, which is 2008. I don’t know why, but nearly all my friends were Sunflower Choir Members. I was an outcast, a poor cello player from the not-so-famous Strings Ensemble Club. “Ugh, I wanna change to your club. It’s way more fun than MY lame club!” I told them. “Corinne, you know you can change next year. Come on, give me the file back. I wanna sing!” Allysha said. “Oh alright… But promise me you’ll let me sing too.” “Sure thing…”

But after the Tshung Tsin Night and Sutera Harbor performance, something changed in me. I finally figured out the reason I chose Strings Ensemble as my club choice in the first place. It’s because I love music. I love performing onstage. My club is the only place where I can fit in...no not fit in as in everyone loves me, fit in as in we have something in common, everyone love music. And most of all, I feel important there, I am Cello Player #2, soon to be the First! I am Proud of my club~

In December 2009, “Sha, Dayle… I don’t want to change my club anymore” I told my best friends. I finally found my interest, which is performing onstage and making music. Sha and Dayle understood, and I feel grateful for that.

So, that’s how I come to love Strings Ensemble. I realized that Strings Ensemble is not just a club; it’s more than that… It’s a second home to me. I’m even part of a group called “Strings Lovers”. We are not a proper group, just members of the club who loves to help making Strings a better place.
