Vision...

How great LitleGras would be that you ever possibly imagined...?

Imagine of the day where LitleGras performing on stage here and there outside of campus... where organisations pay us to perform for public events in public places... where crowd is cheering and screaming our names the loudest they could... we dressed ourselves attractively... our performance is flawless... with superb performing skills... confident... flamboyant... conspicuously exuberant... just like any other famous bands are performing... and we even have our own girls bands that are gorgeous yet skillful...

Our concert tickets are expensive... but still attracting bunch of people who are desperately craving for our shows... Our songs are authentically from our own composers... and we actually selling our songs to the local music industry... but then we are reconsidering the fact that we were selling our songs thinking that it might be better that we keep it for our own and make an album out of it... and then tv and radio stations' reporter are doing coverage on our latest happenings and they also broadcasting our MTV and songs every now and then...

LitleGras Music Club by then it is much more than just a music club... it develops skillful musicians... grooming vocalists... producing great composers... that actually going into the musical industry rather than getting a job as engineers... besides... we having the best personnel in terms of organizing concert events... and people are actually paying our event management team to organize concert events for them... we provide services such as emceeing... PA system... visual aids... interior decor... photography & videography... advertising & event publicist too... and we all have our own performing equipments of cause... is not because we buying each and everyone of them... but rather is the sponsorships from musical instrument manufacturers... as a way to advertise their brands...

Our LitleGras's members ranging from those who have graduated... postgraduates... and undergraduates... some graduated members are actually becoming our full time advisors and devoted their lifetime for the betterment of LitleGras though they are some only involved with LitleGras in a part time basis... they also earn great money just by helping us coordinate all the performance events with the event organizer... pretty much like a manager for our band who deal with every other thing rather than performing... we basically commercialised...

For postgraduates and undergraduates they strive in both academic and LitleGras... they managed to handle it pretty well because we got a system that enable everyone to work with minimum supervision... everyone know what to do at any period of time... well coordinated... our total student member is only about 100 people inclusive of both band musicians and event management team members... but still we managed to deal with every events & performance almost perfectly...

How big is your vision? Bigger than mine?

I'm happy even it is just a start...

There are few things i very much glad that is happening to LitleGras and its members...

1. Enthusiasm

I appreciate those who show positive attitude towards change we want to implement... I like people who willing to step up and take charge of important events... I like people who think a lot about LitleGras... I like people who are supportive... and i very much appreciate it... I'm happy to see that guitarist department has its lesson guidebook produced... and keyboardist department is actually starting lessons for its department's members... vocalist department has its activities for vocalist outlined... IEC department is carrying out its first ever important activity of the year LitleGras Annual Camp...

2. Growing number of club members

Recently we recruited huge number of band musicians and event management team members from first year and second year students... this would certainly help when we want to organize events... however... this won't be sustainable if we didn't manage our people properly... so we must remember that everyone of us need to put in substantial amount of effort to either directly or indirectly retain our people who have great expertise in various areas which are very much helpful to us... existing/old members need to be supportive to those new members that show great enthusiasm... sometimes people stay because they got friends around... and of cause we must have other formal means to attract people and make people wanna stay with us...

3. Better Performance
We know we have done quite badly(or perhaps just average if not bad) for our last annual concert. From the beginning of the semester we have been discussing about our showmanship... seriousness towards preparation of performance and so on as a step for better performance... and honestly speaking of which the HuaXie Night is one of the best show we have ever had in ages... thanks for the effort of band musicians... but do not get easy on it... we have to strive for any other coming performance events... improve your skills musicians...

Although we yet to see any significant results from our changes so far... but i'm sure we will be able to achieve the results we have been waited for so long someday somehow provided we continue to work towards our goals...

Once a LitleGras member... Forever a LitleGras member... :D

Of course not forgetting the other important parts of the apartment...

Figure 5 - Bathroom & Kitchen : Pretty basic isn't it? (i think that is good enough)

And oh ya... The rooms that "some" of us going to sleep in...

Figure 6 - Master Bedroom, Bedroom 2, Bedroom 3 : You may not be sleeping at these rooms cause few will be sleeping in Living Room(you can go up and check out the living room pictures again)

Come'on LitleGrassians... Let's make it happen... Will ya...?

What a BIG DAY for me...

Big Day as in this

And this

Because of this STUPID RECKLESS Proton Wira Aeroback Driver!!!

The road is wet... and i was driving back from my survey trip for the first ever LitleGras camp along with Fabien... and this was what i got myself into...

It happened around 6.35pm at the two-lane converged to one-lane road just before the bridge crossing the river at Nibong Tebal... the traffic was crawling and i totally have no idea how this Indian dude behind me managed to bang me that hard... And when he came out of the car i showed my bewildered face at him... and he said " You break what... "... duh... of coz i break... what do you expect me to do when the car infront of me stopped?

Then the girlfriend got out of the car too... now i know why... he was busy flirting with his girlfriend and forgot to look at the front because she was simply too attractive for him to turn his sight away... we not even heard any sound of tyre skidding... i assumed he never break and he never know he's going to hit me until he did... the force was actually strong enough to push my car going forward which is about 1 metre infront of me and transfer the momentum to the Perodua Viva and then it banged another car infront of it... 4 cars are affected... but the 4th car suffer no damage... and the Viva damaged both its rear and front bumper but the Viva owner was just too busy to wait and settle the conflict at Balai... and his car was not seriously injured so two cars infront of me eventually drove off...

Me and the Indian Dude ended up in Jawi Traffic Police Station... stayed there for accident reporting until around 10pm... and the police officer actually said to me that there are 4 cases happened today similar to my situations (multi-car collisions) at the same area... and he told me never drive when there's rain and traffic crawl near the bridge area... he said you would rather stop there and wait or U-turn or whatever rather than spending hours with me for your reporting to claim insurance... could you believe the police officer actually said that...?

Really sorry for what happening to the car... I wont be this mad if the car was mine... it was liong's... really sorry to cause so much trouble to him... Very Sorry...

And now i guess many Grassmates and Coursemates already knew i got into accident... people would think i'm a lousy driver i guess... maybe now there's somebody whispering... " Never lend your car to HockSiang... "

I'm a guy who think too much...

Is it bad? Is it not?

I constantly throwing out ideas. Drowning all the people along the way as the ideas propagate... I know sometimes it is just too much... but i just couldn't help it... it is my nature...

I have dreams... Dreams for LitleGras... Perhaps all this was caused by my feelings of inferiority towards the other famous bands out there... I just wanted this band to be better so much...

As i dragging you into the journey to attain my dreams for LitleGras... I hope you would forgive me if this is not really what you wanted to achieve...
