Yo! Haven't blogged since school started, which is 2 weeks. Anyway, Week 1 Tuesday, Friday, Saturday band. Week 2 Monday's (5 July) Youth Day holiday. Tuesday (6 July), Friday and Saturday band practice. Wednesday had extra practice, and Hansel's flute friend who's not our school senior came and taught flutes. Thurday went to band room cos band room duty has already started. Very funny eh, Thursday. Zi Yuan and Jaslyn on duty, then Zi Yuan called Mdm Yanti. I saw him in canteen and went to ask if he or Jas is collecting band room key. He said he's collecting but Mdm Yanti said need 5 people then can open the room. I don't know why this new rule, but ZY asked if can ask them (Cui Yi, Zhi De, Jason) to pretend, then I said ok, haha. I was also planning to go up. A while after I saw them leave, Jaslyn came and we went to General Office and they were there. He doesn't know that only teacher can draw key, so we went to the staff room upstairs. ZY dare not use the phone outside to call the teacher in the staff room. Haha, then we saw Ms Chen at the door so he asked her. She said "Ok Zi Yuan I'll see you downstairs in 5 min" HAHA! Then our 'actors' left and I said bye but they (Cui Yi & Jason) ignored me, only Panna and I forgot who said bye -.-! Anyway, that was funny. We got the key eventually and went up, haha. The flute guy came again. I played trombone and did A Maths with Jas help :) Something interesting, he used me as experiment for tuning. He asked me to push in the tuning slide all the way then listen to tuner and tune, without looking at the tuner. Then adjust the main slide. Then, adjust tuning slide according to distance moved on main slide, then play again, IN TUNE! :O Oh my gosh, I actually thought I wouldn't do it, haha. Zi Yuan left early for tuition -.-
Friday Mr Yu made special effort to come cos it's the day before NBC already. Today was 3rd National Band Competition. We started at 10am and we performed at 6+, about 6.30pm. We had lunch, no dinner. Jonathan and Suky came! They so nice you know. Suky came first and when she found out we will have late lunch she said when Jonathan go lunch with her they can buy some biscuit for us when they come back. And they really did, he go buy one tin -.- Haha! MY SENIORS SO NICE!!! I LOVE YOU ALL! :D AND I MISS KEVIN! :(
We didn't practice very much, because Mr Yu says we must save energy for the competition. We arranged chairs in the ISH first and after a while in the band room we moved there to practice. We moved in and out the 2 places constantly. We had lunch at... about 2, I don't know. But before that around 1pm had break and I went to the music room to see Suky and Jonathan, and Mr Yu playing piano, haha. He play sounds so powerful... We practiced a while more before lunch which I didn't finish, after which I went back to music room to Suky and Jonathan. I love my seniors a lot! :D We practiced a while more then went to change into band uniform and shoes. Jonathan came into the band room and I was gonna say something about our uniform. Just when Suky open the door she heard me say "The uniform very China eh!" then she burst out laughing, and Band too because of her, haha! Then we took a picture together :) Because Jonathan finds it China and never seen before, haha. Then we tuned again before leaving. Jonathan went home, Suky went with us there but not to stay, haha. There, we had about an hour before going to the tuning room at 6. We tuned and played a bit. Then went to perform. Not nervous at all, I don't know why, I think because Band is there. Never been nervous at band performances... I of course played some wrong things, after putting braces I don't expect to play like before. We waited for the bus. I had a little feeling of crying but Suky said don't cry so I managed not to. We went back to school and went home. I got sms saying we got SILVER! :D 74% Silver :) Then I sms my juniors and Jonathan (1st!), Suky, Kevin, Geck Woon, Darryl (who was there -.-) and Chen Hua. Only Kevin never reply :( Anyway, the seniors seem happy, SEEM only. Bye!
