Big question mark

sigh, I don't know...

maybe this plan might not work out, but I'll do my best, at least be a much better drummer and at least earn a bike & downpayment for a house.

Finance

Goals within this 5 years

Let's put in this way, you want to buy a double-storey terrace house. By the time i can afford it's about RM230,000.

Downpayment 10% = RM23,000
Balance needed loan = RM207,000
8% interest for 10 years = RM2,511.48/month

RM23,000.
If earn RM4000/month as salary, need about 8 months.


Ok, how to earn RM4000/month.

1 student = RM41.25/month
100 students = RM4,125/month

50 hours/week, over 6 days = slightly more than 8 hours/day



Aim for 100 students within 15 months.

Take into account: Kancil = RM30,000 ; Bike = RM3,600

Grade 8 in drums n stuffs

Richard, one of the well-known drummers in JB, told me that to have passed grade 8 drums of Trinity-Guildhall's Rockschool is actually quite easy.

ai yar, hurt my pride a little. Dawned on me that drumming is a lifelong education, and earning a pass in grade 8 is just.. merely.. a beginning.


well, besides the usual =/ i guess it's great to know that drumming has so much to offer, and i am yet to be a good drum teacher.


My goal is to be a full-time drummer that earns at least, at least.. RM5000/month by year 2008 so that my parents will be comfortable, n I'm able to buy an 'ok' drumset (for teaching), a bike (n maybe a kancil too), n a good house.


I want to be like Paul Jackson Jr or Abraham Laboriel, they're one of the most in-demand musicians in the world, very skillful n experienced, and they're christians who showed the world that they are christians.. =)
