HEY GUYS SUP SUP OIIIIII it's ~3 days to concert. how's everyone doing? feeling nervous? feeling scared? if you are, all is as it should be. i'm not going to lie and say i'm totally confident that everything's going to turn out fab and awesome on the 27th, but it'd be a lie to say that i believe that everything won't turn out that way either (was that confusing or confusing? :O). this is the last leg, guys, and it's NEVER too late to do your best :D do OUR best.

it's okay to feel worried and scared :) heck, it's even helpful sometimes! please remember guys that we're a BAND: we're all in this together. however we play, whatever we do, we affect everyone else. we are all important pieces of a huge puzzle, one that can only be completed if each of us work together ^^ no matter what guys i want us ALL to face the 27th with a smile and no regrets. no saying or even THINKING after concert ah dang i should've done ____, cos by then it'll be useless :) i know that there are many of us who have been working consistently since day one and to you all i salute!!! and to the ones who haven't, well,... karma will get you :O haha. the comm's really tired of chasing after y'all and scolding and saying hurtful things cos it's pain for us too ^^ we really consider you as part of ~us~ and um cheesy as this sounds i really think the band's a wonderful family. i'm really glad and happy that i got to meet all of you :D

HAHA I WONDER IF ANYONE'S READING THIS HAHA this is quite embarrassing but whatever!!

this is my laaaast concert with the band and i really hope to have one where we can just let go and enjoy ourselves. get goosepimples during hymnsong (L)!!!, all the lovely slow sections - i srsly love the melody for all the slow parts in all the different songs, so lyrical and beautiful and awesome - and WATCH SIR B) this is seriously our downfall. guys, the only things we need during concert are these: our instruments. our lungs. our eyes. and sir (lol). everything else has to come from the heart. :)

to any sec fours reading this, remember beijing? remember dona? it has to be like that. that was really magical, and really beautiful. i hope to experience that too with THIS current band, who's no better or worse and only different. let's embrace this new sound we're achieving, and let's make sir and all our seniors proud. OK? GUYS? LET'S DO THIS THANG 8D

I BELIEVE IN US, SO DON'T STOP BELIEVINGGGGGGGGGGG

muchos grande love
liana
