26 November 2008 Thursday
Woke up and got ready for the day, then went for breakfast. Then went to the room again, workshop starts at 10.30am only. Darryl came to say, meet at the lift lobby at 10.30. At 10am, Xue Qi told me it's 10 already. I was like, so? It's only 10, the workshop's 10.30. She said Darryl said 10 so I quickly set up my dearest 宝贝 trombone and left the room, although I still thought he said 10.30. No one was at the corridor! Everyone was like...surprised and all, even DL wasn't ready. He probably said 10.30. Anyway we can't gather at 10.30 because it starts at 10.30. So I waited outside his room and we went to the lift lobby. Our workshop is sectional but ours is with euphos (again -.-) So we waited for them and Darryl asked me if I brought writing material. I forgot! So I ran back to get the pencil case and booklet (which has pages for lesson notes) and ran back.
Darryl's trombone & my trombone! :D Looks like mirror image right?
Hmm...I won't put the details of the workshop but I'll say I did learn some things. And DL and I have the same reaction when something happens. We look at each other, hahaha, very funny! At the end of the workshop, we had 30min left, so the instructor (who's a trombonist) asked if we wanted to play any song. Pasir Ris Sec (who had 6 trombonist & 2 euphos (1 gold)) played the last part of a song. I don't know what song that is. They also only have 1 female trombonist! The instructor corrected them while they played again and again. Then after that, he wanted US to play. All DL's fault la! Before they played he already wanted to play Novena. He put the file on the stand and opened to 2nd page of Novena! He wanted to play bar 121 which is 2nd page. Then the instructor looked at it and asked us to play. "All your fault la! Later cannot pitch the high F!..." Haha! But luckily I managed :D After we ended, we went for lunch then went to Meeting Room 10 to watch videos of Japanese bands perform. Can hear the trombone workshop in Room 11! :D We were there.
Watched until 4pm+ then they said the hotel gave us free game of bowling so I actually wanted to go with them to see them play. But they went up to 22nd floor and did nothing at the corridor so I thought they weren't going anymore. So I went to Jaslyn's room to play eupho :D Then I found out they all went bowling I don't know where -.- Eupho's easy, very easy. I played high high B flat. And I didn't use much air and the sound was loud. I played some parts of Novena on the eupho.
After dinner was the Friendship Concert. Liang Rong wanted us to sing happy birthday to Ms Ong so we did, and another school sang it in Chinese! :D After the concert, the results were announced. I wrote everything in my diary so I won't write here. Our results, my feelings, my reactions, everything. My face was wet, and I lost a lot of water... Bye.
