New Intake Interview-10a.m-Istana Budaya:

The members of Asuhan Seni/committees arrived at Istana Budaya as early as 9am to prepare for the New Intake Interview which is scheduled to start at 10am. We were briefed by Sensei on our tasks and at 10am, the interview started.

There are 14/15 interviewees of various musical backgrounds came for the interview. There are parts of the interview; The first is the 'Provoking Interview' and the second is the 'Practical'. The first part of the interview was handled by Wahida and Wahyun whereby their tasks would be to 'provoke' the newbies, to test their level of commitment (buat kecut perut). The 'Practical' part was handled by Cikgu and Azwa as to test on their skills handling musical instruments given.

Before we departed for a picnic, Cikgu briefed us on our tasks teaching the new members.

Jalan2 and 'camping' at Lubuk Manggis-1p.m:

After the interview, its time for "Makan-Makan". Setelah 'berpenat lelah' meng'Interview' the newbies, we all went to Lubuk Manggis for a picnic, our first Asuhan Seni gathering. We arrived at the chosen spot after about 1/2 hour journey from IB. We ate the delicious food (prepared by the catering committees dgn jayanye) silently (not all of us though) as we were all hungry and kebuluq. Then we all had fun "mandi manda" di dalam sungai 'berair karat' and enjoying the scenery.
At around 3.30pm, we ended our little gathering and went home.


NOTE:

1. Class Asuhan Seni for the senior members: 12pm - 2pm every Sunday.

1st August 2009-Saturday

News Feed!!!

At last after quite 'a while', we finally have class. The two-hour class seems so short and there were only few of us that came. As usuall, the class started with music theories and proceeded to playing traditional gamelan songs. We were also assigned to learn other gamelan instruments as prescribed by Cikgu; Rashid, Fandi and Abang will concentrate on bonang while others will concentrate on instruments other than the one we usually played. Before the end of the class, Cikgu assigned us tasks for the new intake interviews which will be held on Sunday 9th August '09.

Though the two-hour seems short, it was fun and we had the chance to catch things up with gossips and the most important thing is the knowledge that we received from our beloved Cikgu Ku Zahir. May Allah bless him always.
