HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY XUE QI! :D

Hello! Yesterday was Xue Qi's birthday! :D Me and Jaslyn were finishing her present in the morning before band :D Got band practice and marching! Yay! I love marching, but not with the main band. But yesterday's marching was fun again! :D To me XD

For band practice we went through the SYF pieces and March Together. 2 years ago we used that piece but switched to Mickey Mouse March in the end, so I remember the piece until part B :O Not bad eh? But Mr Yu said we have to memorise till the second ending, which is after part C ._. At least I've memorised 1/3 of it :D

Then marching started late, since it's on the last hour now -.- Only half an hour but this half an hour was productive for my 2 students! ^_^ Taufiq came to help me teach Zi Jian and Hui Shi, yay! Omg, Zi Jian is fast! He can remember commands I taught last week and he can turn properly already! Hui Shi jia you! Don't lose out to him! I have the best student in marching now, heheh! But ZJ very act cute eh (to me), haha! I think ZJ will be the best in marching ^_^ Yay! But he said "It's not really fun" haha! XP

Hello! Wednesday to Friday was OLE in NAS. On Wednesday we had MBTI profiling. Ooh, 我找到一个跟我一样 profile 的人 ^_^ Thursday, my Group 7 went to VJC! :O Some of them were really nice, like the first group of girls we approached, best! We had to go there and educate them on SPCA and collect donations for SPCA. Isn't it funny for us high schoolers to be educating JC students?... But there is no rule that younger ones can't educate the bigger ones :) I really appreciate those who listened to me/us ^_^ Friday, Group 7 split into 2, I had to stay in school while the other half went to Ngee Ann Pri. The only business we had was from a few teachers and Sec 2s, since the whole school is out doing OLE. Hehe, my juniors rock! Hui Shi, Stacia, Amanda, Yii Jie, Vanessa, Shermin... I actually called Carine but she didn't bring wallet =v= haha.

On Friday there was band. I saw Amanda alone at lunch so we had lunch together! ^_^ Then we went to collect the band room key. Dion conducted a bit of warm ups today, it's been a long time. Then we went to 3R2 and 3R3 (brass) for sectionals. The tutors came later... I dismissed band today, and again, it's been a long time... It's nice to see them being quiet for once when I'm in charge.

Saturday, band. The usual stuff, except, we have a new member! We now have a China guy playing baritone sax! :D Is it so coincidental or what? Zi Jian is from China, from 3R1 and playing baritone sax, just like Chen Hua. Haha! He speaks Chinese to Mr Yeo :D There was marching at the last hour or rather half hour -.- I took Zi Jian and Hui Shi, but he speaks English to me eh... (Because I use English, my Chinese is too lousy, I dare not talk to him! Haha!) His accent sounds like Chen Hua :O Cool! Anyway, teaching individually is... hard, because it's not formal enough and they'll keep moving =v= Anyway, I like baritone sax, so I hope he plays well :D

Hello :) This first week of school has been busy... =v= But I think it'll get worse, haha. Band practices as usual, and Friday had Sec 1 Orientation. I want the Sec 1s! :D I want to be in charge of them, and teach them marching and everything... I want them to be mine first before anyone else can "pollute" them as Taufiq says. It should be fun teaching them from basics. Last year no trombone junior, so I haven't taught basics for almost 2 years. Anyway, anyone in the right mind would know that I'd rather teach Sec 1s. A few more weeks and they'll come in, but I think I already know one junior who will be here: Chong Pin! I wish I could snatch him to trombone section, haha! I want a girl and a boy, 2 hardworking ones who will love trombone like I do :) It's hard to find people I get along with. Anyway, the CCA display was... not bad. But it's of course not good either. The individual instrument introduction I played the same thing as last year, Kevin & I took turns to play When The Saints Go Marching In :) Just that this year... no Kevin beside me! :( I miss Kevin :( And some people played the "solo" wrongly =v= I should have thought of playing Sorry Sorry and 菊花台. I should go learn more Jay Chou songs... My favourite ones (that's a lot!) We have 30+ interested but not all will join. Hope Chong Pin gets in, I should be able to get along with him :) I think he will get in. We played Rockin To The Rhymes and It's A Small World... I'm gonna take the Sec 1s like my life depends on it, because after all they're saving me. Enough about band, you must be getting bored. Let's read about class now, which I rarely write on.

I'm still the EL rep of 4R1 even though I said before I don't want to continue. But no one volunteered, and I don't actually mind doing it for my
4R1 so I agreed to continue. But my assistant changed. Haha, they wanted Cui Yi but Ms Deepa chose Brandon's index number, which is just 1 away from CY. Well, he's not bad, started collecting money for TYS quite fast :) (But he started fast, I collected fast. Ah... haha!) There was also a Bio test, which I studied for very last minute. But well, I suppose it's better than last year's SA2 because they didn't test a lot on things I didn't study... I hope I answer correctly la...

Chinese class, we are grouped according to last year's scores, and we are mixed 3 classes. I'm in 1A! 1A's target for O Levels is A1! ^_^ But I think they're being a bit ridiculous. Some people here get 50+ and the target is A1? The range is quite big...wonder if anyone got 70+, I only got it in early Sec 3... And 1B is aiming for A1 when they're the ones that fail? So you can roughly gauge the standard of 1C which is aiming for B3? The grouping is better than Sec 3 of course, but... it doesn't make sense to me la... There should be more than 3 classes if possible... Anyway, it's still an honour to be in 4-1A and 4R1 ^_^ This year, I'm going to study more. See you :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D To Band, I wish you the motivation to get me my Gold award for SYF! It's OURS! I wanted to wish something more but I realised that's the only thing you need... To my lovely 4R1-ers! I wish us the courage to face setbacks and push forward! I wish us a fun and fulfilling last year together, and all the best results in the whole school! Let's continue this stereotype and show everyone that 4R1 IS the BEST CLASS! To my dear seniors, my pillars of strength, I wish you all the strength to stay happy and persevere through the toughest times with a vision of the best future. This is what you gave me :) I hope that you all will be strong to protect yourselves because you are grown up already, moving on or in the real world already! I ♥ you everybody :) I hope we will be friends next year :) 我一直都没变，还在每天许愿 ☆

The FIRST person to wish me Happy New Year (without me wishing first) is... Surprise! KEVIN! :D I wished Nurlena, Mavis, Suky, Stacia first :) Kevin seems different from last time... in a good way ^_^ Oops! Clarification: I don't like Kevin (in a BGR way). Stacia, does this line look familiar? Haha! Oi must tag ah, if not the da jiejie will spam you! :D She thought I like him... =v= Not her fault though, that's why I'm clarifying! I was watching MBC Gayo Daejun online, Super Junior sang Sorry Sorry (my favourite song by them!) and Bonamana! :D Their performance was about 12.40am so I had to wait so long... Now I can go to sleep! Suky! Read the previous post last paragraph! For you! ^_^
