♫♪I'm back to happy Bass Trombone!!♪♫

Hi hi! :) I'm back from the 36th NCO Band Camp! :D 5 days... tiring but super FUN! I've never laughed so much in 5 days and never eaten so many times in 5 days before, haha! The laughter is thanks to my NCO Trombone Section 2010! We're the most hyper section in the NCO Band! They always say funny things then start laughing like crazy, haha, they're a fun bunch :) During lectures in the auditorium (that's 1/3 the size of the one in school) and even combined practice with Mr Kajiyama (conductor of Aichi Meiden High School, Japan) they also so active, haha. The guys definitely eat a lot also. And of course, I met my twinny there! We had an exchange with 5 other bands on Valentines' Day last year. After that I found WRS band blog and saw that there's a Rebecca trombonist who was ABM. Now we're both BM and my twinny is also a small girl who eats slowly ^_^ We had 16 trombonist, even more than trumpets. They said this year has a lot of trombones, yeah! Trombones rock! Of course I have a BM friend from Percussion too, China girl :) I met her on the bus to the pre-camp briefing :D

The Passing Out Parade yesterday was totally cool! We rock! It's the best camp I ever had. The kind of feeling you have when you finish a song and the audience scream, and you stand there basking in the glory and pride with our instruments held high... Incomparable to anything I've ever experienced! :)

Today still had band practice and marching in the morning. Wake up early again... Tired eh... Hazirah taught NAS band what she learnt! :) During combined practice, this band sings so softly... At NCO when Mr Kajiyama told us to sing, wow, a full sound. The playing also is so soft! I start missing NCO Band already, so early in the morning... But I'm back to my beloved NAS Band now :) Today time seems to fly. Nearing 12pm I didn't even feel like practice was ending... Oh ya, my Baby (trombone) is at home ^_^ I'll keep Baby here for now, because I'm using Taiwan anyway ^_^ Now I can practice at home with my favourite trombone! One of my favourite la... :D

Did you miss me? I missed you!

♫♪I'm a happy 2nd Trombone!!♪♫

Let's talk about Sec 3 KOREF camp 2010! From 20-22 January we had camp at Kahang Organic Rice Eco Farm (Malaysia).

22 Jan
We had briefing in the hall from 7 until 8.30am and got the yellow camp T shirt. Went we left the hall I saw people outside (waiting for assembly until 8.30? Assembly's at 8 :O) I saw Kevin and wave at him (First time ah? :D) I actually said "hi :)" very softly but he said bye bye, haha! Oh I missed him during camp. (Actually 20-22 is Wed - Fri, also no band what) I sit with Camilia in the bus everyday. We reached KOREF and set up tents. Like what Kevin told me la, canteen beside hall then the sleeping area outside. After lunch, went to rice field. They help weed but I didn't cos I got injury, since that Tuesday after band -.- We went to visit a "Pak Cik" who's 84 years old in the kampong. On the way there, I love the water apple leave smell. I held on until we returned to campsite. His house is small and simple but strong enough to fit 2 classes on the platform. Run back to camp in the rain. Only at night then can bathe. They didn't even let us change! After that ah... nothing much. Bathing and sleeping sucks.

21 Jan
I woke up the latest in my tent, yay. Purposely! Ok? Changed to my tights for the trekking later. Woo so tight, I'm the only one, haha. After breakfast we took bus to Gunung Lambak. Walao! Why can't we group with 3C2?!!!! :( During the whole camp I hardly even saw Samuel. (I had one senior and one junior with me in camp, so special right?) I think 3C2 went when it was dark :O Heh, very funny. We climbed for quite long and tired alr then they said "Reaching soon! Reaching! ... Starting point!" "?!?!?!" haha! The trek to the start was harder than the trek up from the start, really. The trek down was... scary. I think I have phobia of falling now. It's been 2 weeks since that fall now. During camp it was 1 week. I didn't fall, heng. I kept thinking of Kevin during the trek you know! What run up and down the mountain, then climb the whole mountain never sweat. He Superman is it?! Toward the end of going up I got tired, before that was ok. I keep on "I want my senior...! I want my senior...!" Aiya... If Kevin was here he'd be right in front, but if I ask him to help he surely would! :( We had lunch (I ate 2 bananas!) and went back to camp. We had water activities. I wanted to cry before rafting and almost completely let go and cry (I was starting alr) but then they ask us to form a circle and we played game while waiting (not enough life vests) so I didn't cry. I'm pitying myself for not being able to get into the water. Kevin told me only 2 people need to go on the raft, I thought per class. It's 2 people per raft, everyone. We played whacko. When they finished, it rained. We went in to discuss for class skit for campfire. They were doing class cheer and I was doing emo time. Now cannot cry alr! But almost la, one drop. Ms Poh took me aside to talk to me. She said if I want I can go, but after that just look for teacher to help change my dressing. I think she told Ms Low too. After that it was water obstacle course. Yay! I went eh, but starting only, cos halfway got lightning so must come back. Walao I climbing the net, going to cross over then cannot -.- Tsk. I never cross net before eh! I was dry. Then we go bathe. Xiao, we were last I think. They keep on "F7 hurry up!" I never hear them call other cubicle. Then one guy I think Sec 4 student leader go put the loud hailer above the door and shout at me and Camilia. Actually share for what? Still must wait what, idiot. I was bathing I thought why suddenly so loud, turn and see loud hailer on the door wtf?! Haha! Started raining alr, rush to the hall (which is just beside) without towel drying my hair -.- Luckily got dinner and long campfire until 11+ Every class do their cheer and some got performance. Ours was lame. Molestation skit. 3C2 sang Fall For You and one play guitar! Aww, nice :) But where's Samuel? Cannot find. Then we do cheers and SLs, teachers and facilitators perform. Hmm I sat beside Cui Yi and he quite caught my attention. His features are striking but I think it's not cos he's from China. He also feel like sleeping, haha. Being friends with him will improve my Chinese, he only speaks Chinese (but learn English of course). Never heard a word of English from him... Finally sleep time. Thanks to clever clever Shi Ying (that's me by the way) we had more space to sleep. It was a very basic arrangement actually. First day was idiotic.

22 Jan
Rain again, first thing in the morning. Everyday rain. Luckily by the time I get ready to go out it stopped, haha, see? Go brush teeth so early for what? Ha. After breakfast we do CIP. 3R1 clean the boys side, 3R3 clean the girls side. Eee, got underwear (and socks) lying around everywhere. Rubbish and wasps. Ew. After that we played game all the way. Whacko! Double whacko! Yong Jie stood behind me and we stayed like that for the whole game. Hardly anyone call me but when they did he call another one quickly. So I'm safe. Once, someone said Shi Yun and he called someone else then 'eh?' Then I told him about the Shi Yun and Shi Ying. Once Andrew go call me Rebecca then Francoise the whacker come in front of me but never whack as if waiting for a name then Yong Jie go "Rebecca?" then I think he "whack" me. 3R1 was like "Shi Ying la..." We also play the game, stand in a circle then squat and sit on each other's lap and do class cheer. Not painful one. We had telematch with charade and broken telephone. Our message got distorted. Then play whack (single) again. The student leader called Rebecca, (how does he even know the name) then again they're like "Shi Ying...!" Then lunch and go home! :D Some class reached at 5+ we reach at 6+ -.- In the end, there's no band today so no difference. Haiya I wanted to go band!

Happy belated birthday Xue Qi! :D 22 Jan

Saturday 23 Jan 10

Came back from camp on Friday. Practice was cancelled because of OLE. Anyway we reached school at 6+ so it makes no difference. Saturday still had band, and marching. Ah... leg pain. Everywhere pain. I realised the red on my ears are sunburns. Ooh first time... Then go up to the band room. I gave my section the sweets that I took for them at camp. I took extra specially for them eh, but ONLY Benjamin said "thank you" -.- You're welcome :) DC act like I owe him like that la -.- Actually they both don't want (Kevin 就不客气了 haha) then I say "I take for you one eh" then DC say "Oh ok lor" -.-"' Suky came again! :D I didn't even notice when she entered :O Wah whole day combined practice.

Mr Yeo and Yu did Symphonium and Procession to Peace. We haven't done that for a long time. Mr Yeo took the instruments to repair. He drove them in his car. Ah, the trombone is on the high cupboard then he ask me to take it instead of Kevin. Yay, my baby is going to be repaired! *^-^* Eee, what's wrong with me today? I play so lousily! :( :( :( ...

Mdm Yanti came and told us about what we're going to do this year. Wah, we have a lot of activities this year. At the end of the year, we might be going to Hong Kong! :D :D If we do well in the competitions, which is like... no, forget it then. Mr Yu said our 2 competitions is 3 months away. NBC and SIBC which is an international competition that's held in Singapore this year. After band we wrote on the farewell card for Ms Sharon Ong. I saw that Kevin sign off with "T.W" so I added a "SG" below my name :D
