♫♪I'm a happy 1st Trombone!!♪♫

Hey! My mother just got me Jay Chou's 10th album 跨時代! By the way, the song 超人不会飛 that you're listening to on the blog is from his 10th album. It was $13.95 (without the Popular card discount) but there were 2 others which were the same but one was $10 because of extra 2 music video and Jay Chou badge or something. Another one was $35 because of the metal case. And the one I got so lousy! When I put into the computer, ALL the song info are wrong! Album title, song title, even album picture is from wrong album! I had to change it all myself, in 繁体字... but picture can't change of course :( idiot -.- cheat my mother's money. Don't tell me this is imitation. But at the very least, the songs are correct. I got a damn shock when I saw the album info, I thought the songs were wrong... But this is bad enough. Then I couldn't rip the CD onto the computer... the function was disabled... Why is the CD so cheapo and lousy? It's Jay Chou's album you know, all those idiotic mistakes are insulting him. -.- Damn it!

In the WRONG info (all was from another album) all the songs were written by himself :O Cool, it's highly possible that for this album he did too :) I'm sure he wrote Superman Can't Fly. Anyway, I'm not happy about the damn wrong info, the more expensive 2 might have been different... but I'm happy that I got his songs now :D Bye!

Band yesterday. Marching sucked, for the first time. Mr Yeo teach us to walk 8 steps in 5m for the entire time until 9 o'clock -.- In the sports hall -.- I'd rather do the usual stuff in the quadrangle under the sun...

Then we went to set up the ISH and our instruments and Mr Yu came. Sec 1s stayed in the band room, as usual for Saturday. Today's the last Saturday practice before holiday schedule begins... Mr Yu did Procession to Peace for very long. Suky came! At 10+ and sat with us :D Jonathan didn't come (though he said he would) because he's sick. Oh... I wanted to give him that first Tapestry ticket in the whole school, haha! :D Mr Yu is very confusing, I don't know if it's his English or just him. During warm up we play scales, his instructions keep changing. Then during my 8 bars after D "solo" in PTP (Yu Bin's also playing it) he first said want crescendo then decrescendo, so I wrote on my score already. Then after playing he say do away with the crescendo because cannot hear the first part. Then after that he said mine is background music (which it is NOT) so play softer. Then I play softer (and it sounds muted) and he says that's it -.- And how am I supposed to decrescendo then? Suky says just ignore the decrescendo, so be it. Why must he make me sound like a horn? I don't like it. In the professional recording, trombone is bright, not the background music! And last time he said the trombone Symphonium solo is the counter melody while horn is the melody. ARE YOU SURE?! EVEN SUKY THINKS THAT BOTH OF THESE ARE THE MELODIES. I'm very sure Symphonium trombone is solo, just hear the parts can tell already what! Anyway, today's Symphonium sucked because I was tired. More tired than usual. Play the starting tired already, by the time reach the solo even worse. And, IF YOU THINK YOUR JUNIOR WHO'S NOT A TROMBONIST SHOULD BE PLAYING THE SOLO, THEN YOU GO PUT METAL IN HER MOUTH THEN YOU COME AND BE ARROGANT WITH ME. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, GO SHOVE METAL IN YOUR MOUTH. 你什么都不知道，却自以为是地鄙视别人，以为你学妹比别人都好。好阿，那你去绑牙，自己经历一下看看你还能不能吹奏乐器。叫你学妹去绑牙啦，如果她吹得比我好我就佩服她啦。I dare to face anything anyone gives me if I dare to write this, don't worry.

Hansel's buying a ticket from me too :) After band, took bus with Suky, and Francoise and Robin happened to be there too! Bye!

Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry...

After school today, I had lunch then sat with Serene and read book while she did Chinese practice paper, letter writing. Slept a while before band right there, haha, at the canteen. At 2.30pm many people were not there, late. I got them to warm up together before they went for sectionals in the 2 small rooms. Wai Yee conducted first since Dion went toilet and I didn't wanna wait. He took over when he came back. After that, we went to the 2 tiny stuffy rooms. It's so hard to hear anything in there, I don't like that.

Very soon after we reached there, Darryl came. He taught Benjamin warm up, Great Band Workout half step down up, which we just did with Wai Yee (halfway). At first I practice separately from them but soon we did sectionals, yay. Haven't done that for a long time, but at a place where no one can hear no one -.- Darryl took Kevin's trombone, which used to be his before he graduated. Today we played Procession To Peace, Landmark Overture and Symphonium. Well, he took my LO score and went out to play at first, then came back in and teach a bit, clap tempo. After playing the whole PTP he wanted to play LO so we played bar 160, our beautiful melody! :D The notes not easy to read, and tempo quite fast, (he wanted faster -.-) so actually only him and I played mainly. Then Symphonium but not together. I played my solo and teach Benjamin my solo also, just in case. He's forgotten the back part, so I taught him again. Darryl of course wasn't with us the whole time, he wouldn't do that. He frequently goes to slack outside at the corridor. I'm quite satisfied with today's sectionals cos I haven't done it in a long time. Darryl you unfaithful trombonist senior. Your TJC thing, fine you didn't have a choice. But this is way too much, since when did you have to play that? One minute you make me happy and forget about school today, the next, you make me so angry I think back of the lousy day, which you made lousier. You should know better than to agitate me like that, whether I had a lousy day or not, because you very well know that I can't take it. At 5+ we had a brass combine on PTP. Actually I only wanted lower brass because all the brasses would be very loud and echo, but they joined in so... It was not together, haha. Then we went up and Dion conducted PTP again for the whole band. Then keep things.

I took attendance for the 3rd time ever since I was BM -.- Seeing you with that thing already pisses me off more than enough and you still let me see you with that person. And why is it when I'm trying to show my unhappiness at you, you're smiling?! I thought you'd be unhappy also, but why do you seem completely unaffected? Is that fake or what? Seriously what are you thinking?! Can't you just be more faithful and loyal? And sorry for screaming at you when you counted wrongly, because I was pissed off and it's not my fault. You probably won't even be here to read this... Anyway, you should know why I'm so affected, but you don't seem to.

Oh! The silence on my tag board has finally been broken by Francoise and Emeline! Yay, thanks :D So I will blog again.

15 May Saturday
The TJC Symphonic Band concert was awesome! :D Their sound is so full and loud and nice, not like some other band... From where I was seating, I can see a first trombone clearly haha. I thought I wouldn't be able to see trombones cos last time I went to Suky's concert couldn't see any. Too bad it's not Darryl... :( They had a 20min interval in which Cliff and Darryl came out, but since I'm so far in I can't say anything, all I can do is look at him admiringly (admiring he's in such a good-sounding band). After the interval they had their play by the junior band.

Sleeping Beauty was never meant to be like that, haha. Cliff voiced Prince Charming :O I didn't know till the credits, he has a nice voice, haha :D Darryl only acted as the Green Witch's fireball, when she use it to attack the Prince Charming. Run across the stage holding the jellyfish-like fireball, haha! Then at the end they dance to the song Gee, which was played by a group of people behind (who have been playing the entire play). I saw Cliff right in front, haha his actions so jerky, so cute! But Darryl never appear at all eh :(

After that, they had Clarinet and Flute ensemble performance. Then back to the full band performance. It was rather long, definitely longer than I expected, 2.5h, but nice :D I wish our band could have a concert like that too...! They had their alumni in the circle seats (on top) and they have band cheer! We don't -.- Anyway, I smsed Darryl later. HE'S HOT!! HAHA!

The entire performance was great :)
