T2W1 Adventures Of 2046 (11)

After we recovered, we began our intensive training to prepare for our first EP. It was really fun, but at the same time it wore us out. As we weren't scions of parents with fulsome opulences, we had to work hard to earn a living. Our lives at that phase were very fulfiling, though sometimes we got so busy that we could not see our parents for many months. We tried our best to call them whenever we had free time so we would at least know how they were doing.

In the period where we were preparing for our first EP, upgrading courses intensified. Life was practically full of courses. Dance courses, then to singing courses, and to music classes. We could only sleep for four hours at most during that time, other than that, we had to practise during those times when we weren't sleeping.

We did not mind sacrificing our time and sleep during that time because it was the winter holidays. Slowly, the new school year was about to begin. It was an important year. In the education of Taiwan, the third year in secondary school the students were supposed to prepare for their big examination - the leaving school examinations. Students had to get good results to get into their desired high schools. Just then, the big decision came. We were in the midst of preparing for our album, but we had to balance school too. Furthermore, it was the important year. We pondered hard and long over the decision, whether to put the preparation of the EP to a halt or give up our studies.

We held a band meeting. It was bona fide that we wanted to release a EP, but we also wanted to continue with our studies. After a long talk, we decided that we would halt the preparation for the EP to focus on our studies for a year. We could prepare for the EP anytime later, but for studies, it was a make or break.
