♫♪I'm a happy 2nd Trombone!!♪♫

OMG some staff from school just called to ask why I'm absent. Anyway, I'm absent today. And there's no band practice today. Yesterday first lesson MT was changed to form teacher's time, some issues to tell us, about H1N1. And he said CCA should be cancelled this week. I brought my stand yesterday. So during recess Jaslyn came to my class to take it to keep in her locker. I brought books for today so that I won't have so many things to carry because I thought I have to bring back trombone today. Then got new timetable, there was Literature yesterday instead of today. There's no CME today. And, I'm supposed to bring coloured paper today for my Chinese project group to make a scrapbook. Too bad then. Oh, and yesterday the torch relay for Asian Youth Olympics came to our school. Nothing much. Haiz... I think CCA starts next Tuesday. Why can't it be Saturday?...

I'll miss my first Math lesson today. New teacher, Ms Zubaidah (relief our class before and she remembers) and most importantly, new chapter! Chapter 7 mensuration, first lesson eh! -.- There's also Chinese, Science and English today. English is 2nd lesson on imperatives. Science and Chinese first lesson, don't know what.

So I'll stay at home today and finish my Literature and History homework. Yay, we've moved on to The Outsiders from Starting Shakespeare. This one's in English and I like it better. There's a big brother Darrel (or Darry) in it, haha. My favourite character. I did the worksheet from Booktrails on favourite character leh!

How am I supposed to bring my trombone back to school on Tuesday? Last Thursday and Friday supposed to have practice, but cancelled because of that H1N1. I did bring back on a school day before when I was using my T T3 but that time we go straight to class, no need to go to the hall first (because there wasn't a hall). And everytime there's no space at the back of my class row already because they idiotically don't move up. And even if I bring it to class first, I still have to bring back my file, stand and tuner. Then no space to put other books already. How now? -.- Unless CCA is cancelled on Tuesday. But in the letter mailed to us, it only says CCAs are scaled down. And I realised Kevin's Jupiter Pop Style score is still with me, because it was given when he wasn't here. I can't go home after school to get them, I don't live near the school! ...unless it's Friday, I'll have 2 hours after school before practice, but I don't think CCA will be cancelled. ...

Yo! I was doing my English homework just now after lunch. Every time on every day that I try to download the DRAFT letter template, the screen says page not found -.- At the bottom of the screen has some words in blue. One of them says "Complaint Letter Template" and I could access that one, but I'm not sure if that's the same one as the DRAFT letter template. (Why must they capitalise the word 'draft' anyway?) In the information page, there's also 2 sample complaint letters to download and I suppose the blue words at the bottom of the screen leads to the same thing because it says the same thing. But the draft letter template, that's what it's called in the info page, but the blue words says complaint letter template. Not the same, can't be too sure, so I asked classmates to help me download and send to me. It's either cannot help (not purposely) or not very willing to help after they agreed to help -.- Agree already then help la. Since people already agreed to help they should do it asap right? Not like people have all the time in the world to wait, and school starts on Monday! -.-

So then I was helpless (literally) and I still can't be too sure it's the same thing. And then my saviour came online! Know who that is? It's my dear senior Suky:) I didn't manage to get the file in the end, but I'll tell you why she saved me. So I sent her a message on MSN (oh by the way, her new picture's a girl playing trombone:D) and ask her to help me. She told me to wait (while she do her stuff) and after 5min she really got back to me. (Some tell you to wait and leave you waiting forever don't they?) Yeah, so I asked her to access my asknlearn E-portal for me, which means I had to give her user ID and password la (I don't mind). And she's so helpful she accessed it on the spot woah. She tried a few times but cannot download like me. But I am so so thankful to her here. (And I heard Kokomo on the radio FM95 while talking to her later :D) So you know why she saved me? If she didn't save me you think I'd've been doing English just now? No. But for some unknown reason, after that, I think the blue words link is the same as the draft letter link. So after lunch, I just used the "Complaint letter template" because I have a feeling that it's the same. Amazing huh? And it's not cos she said that or anything, her computer couldn't even launch the programme (which is where the links are found) so she didn't even see the info page. MAGIC. *Whoooosh!* Haha!

Now I have a strong feeling it's the right one. Maybe if someone else helped me (without succeeding) it might have turned out the same. (Just that no one did) So, moral of the story is not after people help you, you have no doubts (haha, that's a ridiculous one), it's I have a great senior:) Thank you very much! (Ya, I know that is not a moral, haha) And! It pays to be helpful:) *Ahem ahem ahem!* So let's all be helpful from this day on! :D

Yo! I'm at imeem.com and guess what I found! Jupiter Pop Style! I've been looking for it since we were given the score. I learnt the score already but can't find it. Haha! Now I accidentally found it :D I used advanced search to look for all songs by Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra and found it on page 6 after listening to many others. YAY! I'm so happy! Trombone has many nice melodies! :D :D

It's really a bird's nest outside my door. And there's 2 yellow/black birds still building it, haha. I think it's hummingbirds. I was standing at my door and one of them flew around and finally went to it. I thought they don't go near humans? Anyway, it still looks like rubbish, because it is made out of rubbish. Haha, I have a bird's nest outside my house.

See their Trombone Section. Haha :D (Eh... it looks familiar)

I was angry and unhappy for a long while today, because I was thinking of SYF, which has already passed by about 2 and a half months. *Sighs* I was still blaming people and thinking of how I cried then. I'm still thinking about it frequently... And every time it makes me unhappy and pull a long face that I cannot smile anymore. ...*sighs*... I don't think the rest even think of it anymore. Not like I purposely go think of it, but it just comes into my head every now and then...

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

I don't dream in my sleep often, but I had one last night. Nightmare, no bloody horror or running for my life or whatever nonsense, but anything wrong in band is a horror to me already. What kind of ridiculous and weird dream was that?! I dreamt that Band had a concert (we are going to have one) somewhere. Oh, and we use our own stand. Before the performance, I stupidly left my file and stand at the audience seat. Then during the performance, Trombone Section is in front?!?! And it consists of me & Kevin only. And the song is some new song which I can't play without the score. In my dream I kept thinking about Overture No. 1, I don't know why. So when they're playing, I didn't play, I only held my instrument in playing position. And I asked someone (no idea who in my dream) to help me take my file and stand. Then someone (I don't know it's conductor or some unknown, but it's not Mr Yeo) saw me not playing and stop the whole band and scold me-.- What kind of nonsense is this?! It didn't end here but the next part ended abruptly and I don't feel like writing it, so I'll end here. What rubbish is this?! It won't ever happen. And I know it's not related to real life, it's just a dream.


And my mother just told me there's a bird's nest outside my house. The insurance person who just left saw it and told her. It looks like rubbish! There're a lot of plants outside my house, esp cactus, one taller than Kevin :O And the side with the bird's nest has leaves on the wall. It's a creeper plant. And the bird made a nest on the plant on the wall beside my door. Look at this.

?!?!

Ponyo. Nice trombone part :D Almost same as 1st trombone, only got one. But the part F quite different.
