well, a new year starts and so does my blogging life..

before any other blog entries like notices, practices or events, we must all remember that 24festive drumming is not just hitting the buffalo skined-drums in the exact arrangement of beats but to have the right spirit of doing things and enjoying the process..

so...

Lesson #1: Prevent yourself from being in someone else's blacklist

well, as you may know, being disliked by others have been proved to be more of a disservice than a benefit when you wanna get things done,especially if that someone is in great power or makes the major decisions.. and that person will psy-co you be become a better person who can survive or meet /her requirements..

thus, i have summarized a list of the 7 types of people that stand high chances of being enrolled into other(s) blacklist.. counting down from the lowest possibility to the sun-pa will kana blacklist..

7) Improper appearance
people tend to judge others by apperance, and this action seems to have no barrier of any kind.. as a performer, it is crucial to have a good image when you are on a performance and
when you are with others performers, within the same group or other groups..
a person with natural hair colour will be safe, combined with short to medium length nails..

6) Bad Language Sense
there is a chinese saying which i did a direct translation. it actually means sickness goes in from the mouth and troubles comes from the mouth.. the moral behind this saying is mind what you eat and consider what you say.. this saying is very much true.. BUT i would like to add that language does not come in forms of spoken words but body movements as well(since i once did a english presentation on body language)..
Use less offensive words like t*m*d*,f*u*,f*t*s*,c*e*b*e and more thank you,please,great job,nice..then topped with certain good body language, you will be less often to be the one who offend others..then say the right things at the right time is encouraged as well..

5)Solo King/Queen
well, this means that the one who doesn't share and doesn't like to cooperate with co-drummers..festive drums is a act of not one soloist but a group effort.. even the drums comes in set of 24, as the jie lings..24jie lings in one year..
put down pride,kick the habit of doing everything alone and start to think in a group.. then you will find out that every thing will be easier,in terms of the work burden..

4) Does not seek improvement
since the world is constantly changing,we drummers have to as well..or you will prove to be less abled in times to come..
live by the phrase,be content with what you have and strive to get better..

3)passive than proactive
in festive drumming we are looking for 100% efforts to change what we have for the better and so we can't wait for people to make it happen but we have to make it happen ourselves.. why? cause if we are all passive, then nothing will happen and no improvements to self and group..
be the one who starts the ball rolling and not being rolled..

2)Dunno what the group wants
all things happens for a reason and we often see it as a aim or goal..only when the aim is secured and the directions will be laid out to success..if not then we might do the wrong things to inflict a damage to the aim..
always ask in doubts, activate your 'read in between skills' and clarify things out clearly...

1)No sense of commitment and responsibility
these kind of pple are at the top of my list as they are fusion of the worst kind of pple around when talking about choosing people to work with..having no sense of either commitment or responsibility is bad enough.. having neither of the two is worst.. get ready for the worst case senario when you are working with these pple..
for those who falls in this category, pls try to stay away from me until you wake up and start to commit and be responsible and start living like how a human should..

for the pple put there who falls in my list of easy blacklist-ed, spend sometime to read my advice and admend your wrong ways.. no one is perfect so you dun have to deny your bad habit(s) till now but start to get better.. ALL IS NOT TOO LATE AS LONG AS YOU ARE WILLING TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER..
