Everyone to be happy
Grow taller faster
To have my future sorted out because it got screwed up in the last few years
To have a new goal or to have a plan for my only goal which now seems near impossible
*好久不见,你还好吗?我好想念你,知不知道?我多希望我们可以像以前那么亲近…… 我多希望可以再偷偷在晚上该睡觉时给你传简讯。哈哈,那时真的好玩哦 :) Maybe we are still as close, just that I don't know it, I'd just like to get reassurance from you. I have confidence in you, because you told me to :)*
Hello! Don't know who I'm writing for, but anyway, start off happily. But I'm not totally happy these days... 如果不想读这个长 post 那就请你看下面的《晴天》,是给你的……
Prom is in planning now and will be in November between the end of O Levels and my birthday... How sad, we have 2 friends not joining us for prom...both are my friends...guy friends, and I don't have many guy friends you know... Looking forward and not looking forward to prom at the same time. Yes because it's once in a lifetime and I know it'll be fun :) No because I know I'll be missing people and thinking of how I'll miss people then :'(
For now, I feel like I'm gonna screw up my O Levels and go to some non-reputable JC with a bronze band AGAIN. (This SYF was tough for JC standards too) I don't wanna go through the shit emo for another 2 years. My subjects are all lousy, but most importantly I have not found my motivation for most of the subjects... If only I was as motivated, enthusiastic & interested in all subjects like I am for Chinese... :) (I've really changed a lot... I never used to love Chinese this much!) Gosh I really don't want to but I find myself wallowing in self-pity and helplessness. I'm lagging behind so much for A Math, and I'm not memorising even half of the 几十个 formulae in the dreaded book. For Bio, I can't even remember as well as humanities, all the funny names and processes which involve a whole lot of sequence...and for exam application questions, I can't think out of the box -.-
Now over to non-academic stuff which I like more and feel more attached to... I miss my juniors damn much!!! It's been a long time and only recently Amanda spam on my facebook again, haha! :) I miss that, I miss her :( Zijian's reducing his posts on facebook, he's on to more wei bo now I notice after I put my wei bo on facebook. He's got all his China friends, I only have 2 on wei bo... :( Anyway, miss him too! He's not like Amanda, won't sms me or write on my facebook and reply me...nothing to write on his page either... I want lunch with Amanda again! Or breakfast... I've had 2 lunch and 1 dinner with her, no breakfast yet :D And my Hui Shi "boyfriend"! Are you cheating on me? XD haha! I wanna go back to band in June, hopefully saying I'm likely to get that A1 for my Chinese O Level, which is 30 May :O
Recently have had many people post on my facebook, haha. The same stuff, like and I'll tell you: You're cool/pretty/cute, I like/love/hate you, whatever all those, haha. Some I get are quite surprising :P Don't regret making facebook though I didn't want it at first, helped me be closer to my fav juniors! ^_^ So much so that I got myself a 大弟弟 and a Panda reserve owner ^_^
Hmm... I find myself changing a lot but I don't exactly know how...for better or for worse... What you think? (Eh who am I talking to?? Nobody...?) I'm feeling very emo also!!! Why can't the people I like stay?! Why is it that all the people who will leave one day are the ones I like?! Why is it that I happen to like the people who will leave?! :'( !!! Not 1, not 2, but 3! Even 1 is more than enough to make me emo :( It's rare for me to like these people yet fate is so unfair and cruel! D': 我会想念你们,绝对不会忘记你们的……
*你会等待还是离开?故事的最后你好像说了拜拜* *I hope fate will bring us together again, I hope to see you in future. I hope with all my heart that it won't be bye bye but it will be 再见* 再见
Monday band, Tuesday Band, today Band! But tomorrow don't have...
Tuesday
HAPPY 2ND MONTH ZIJIAN! :) I had lunch with Amanda at Tampines Mart! ^_^ Actually we wanted to go to the food court, then we said bye to Zijian at Mac. Then we reached there and realised the food court is under renovation -.-" because we both don't usually go there. Then we end up in Mac also, hahaha! I think that's funny :P We sat at emo corner, haha XD
Today
Happy birthday Wei Han :) First time I give people chocolate for birthdays... better than nothing!
The best person to ask to explain a sick joke in Chinese is Zijian, HAHAHA! Well, I didn't KNOW it was a sick joke... I just knew there was something about it I didn't know XD Lunch with Amanda again :D Practice has been ending at 2pm (it's supposed to) and by the time we reach home it's quite late. Yesterday was pouring rain, today it's so hot! -.- We went to 7-11 after lunch because she wanted to buy sweets, then I saw something that looks like 冰棒 and I thought: Ew. Don't remind me. HAHAHA! XD
Actually today is not a happy day... Some lousy senior & section leader I am. Not only my stupid braces I can't play, now because of my personality 还到自己 junior. It's not only his fault, I'm his senior, so it's my fault too.
Now I don't even have time to write diary until weekends... -.-"
This week again, my feelings change so many times I don't know what to feel...
Thursday we went to Parliament house for learning journey. Cool, we saw the PM. And when we were leaving we saw Dai Yang Tian and his camera crew, don't know doing what. Anyway, not interested in him... If it was Jay Chou it would be a different story, haha...
Friday sectionals... Serene & Germaine came back! :D Omg haven't seen Serene for so long! I miss you Senior ^_^
Saturday band exchange programme at Fajar Sec! :D With Mr Yeo's other bands: Greenridge Symphonic Band & Dunearn Military Band, and Twinny's band Woodlands Ring & the sir's other band Teck Whye, and Han Wei's band Chestnut Drive and Changkat Changi (which is about our size).
So happy to see my Twinny again! :D And when I saw Han Wei I didn't know it was him at first, because I wasn't wearing specs and he also wasn't and had no more Jay Chou hair, haha! There was no break, so sad, because I wanted to look for the 2 of them to get a picture at least -.- I didn't go for SYF rehearsal then I don't know how to enter... -.- Not nice, my part. The others all very good :) After the exchange ended, I gave Twinny the chocolate and cards :D Then went to give Fajar Trombone Section the lollipops. They gave us a card for the Lower Brasses! Haha :D Thanks ^_^ And finally when we were leaving I managed to talk to Han Wei a bit :) I want to have an NCO TromboneOuting in June holidays or after O Levels! Twinny & I will organise one if no one does! I miss the section unity! :(
Oh and I didn't get sweets from anyone D: Not fair, Zijian gets sweets everyday, and his section got sweets also, but I don't have :( Then I very emo. Tsk, not fair never give me :( I don't even know what I'm emo for, that afternoon was just emo... I think band la, it's always band, isn't it? -.- Bastard. Anyway, I'm leaving soon.
This week had many tests... I got your cough when I heard you coughing... Is that even a way to spread cough? By hearing, haha...
You know on facebook on Wednesday something very interesting happened. I was talking about my Chinese then China people reply, haha! Then there's one China boy, laugh at my Chinese, *ehem! I wonder who*, hahaha :D Actually I wasn't angry but he thought he hurt my feelings... :( He's so nice! A friend like him is rare to find ^_^
为什么你生病那么久?:( 快好起来…… 你好了我也自然会好……
Today Chinese test, E Math and A Math. 4R1's 5 band members are so united, go for band together after test... -.- Sectionals today as usual. Taufiq warmed up a while. Zijian came later (then Sec 4s)... I told him that he's supposed to hold the instrument at the side, not in front, then his action was like so... funny :D He go bend down so far... ?? But now I think he's holding it more correctly now. Anyway, Mrs Pong gave us sweets during CME again yesterday... I don't know what for, but sweets I get in class always end up with Hui Shi, Zijian and Amanda (who didn't come today). I oiled my bass Trombone today! ^_^ I love to condition my darlings ^_^
Today we celebrated some people's birthdays in the previous months, but not my definition of a birthday celebration. OMG got chocolate on Zijian's bag -.-""""" then he still so happy when he didn't know, then I'm like -.o? Haha! 我最讨厌迟回家!!!!!!
想你就多看一眼。I was so preoccupied with looking for you that I didn't realise you were right in front of me...
Monday was Valentine's Day. Falling in love is when she falls asleep in your arms and wakes up in your dreams. Happy Valentine's Day!
Tuesday was an emo day.
Wednesday was a special day. Today the Vice-Principal held us Sec 4s back after morning assembly to talk about our attitude, because we always take very long to stand when we're told to. And he told the teachers to watch out for CCA leaders...
Thursday was a special day too. We Sec 4s stood up very fast when we were told to this morning. Good job! There was our mock O level Physics SPA today.
Today was a special day again too. These 3 days were unexpectedly special... Do you believe in miracles? Because you made it all happen. 我对天空这个那个流星 大喊后会不会有奇迹?也许吧 =) 谢谢你哦!^_^ Today's PE was fun! I went to the group that tried javelin but we also watched those who did running. Heheh! xP Today's SS test was awesome :D One of the best SS test I've had, I hope the results I get are too. Study very happily for it in class :D Isabel went for lunch with me though she didn't eat... And Amanda gave me sweet! ^_^
After the test was band... After practice I had Hui Shi, Amanda & Yii Jie walk with me :D
Hello! Omg yesterday during PE 2.4km run I suddenly got stomach cramp and had to drop out -.- Tsk. Everytime I get stomache ache it's during PE, then look like I got pain because of running -.- Irritating, I was doing fine! >.< Hmm, band is as usual... today we practiced in the ISH... And I'm back to bass trombone the instrument! :D But my time with Taiwan trombone was shor... :( Nevertheless I love all my trombones ^_^ Small girl big trombone :)
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! ^_^
Hello! There was band practice yesterday. MY FAVOURITE SENIORSSUKY &KEVIN CAME BACK!!! ♥♥♥I miss you so much for the past so many months! Suky sat beside me for a while, yay! Then went to sit between my 2 juniors, haha! But she ignore DC for Benjamin xP But Kevin keep standing behind at the percussion area... :( Oh ya, actually when I saw him in the mirror I wasn't wearing specs so I didn't know it was him. I thought it was Xie Yu, but why Xie Yu can suddenly grow so tall since last practice?! Then Suky came and said she brought KEVIN! So it IS KEVIN! ^_^ Oh my gosh, his hair style is so cool! He looks like a singer!!! :D And Suky keep saying he's handsome =v= haha!
Anyway, today's practice saw me dying at Celebration and Song. That song kill me till I can't play anything after that =.=" Luckily Kevin not beside me, later he go: yuck, what happened to my junior?... That would be even yuckier than playing yuckily, the only thing that can be yuckier than playing with metal in your mouth. Anyway, we also played the Disney songs because we're gonna use it for sec 1 orientation. Later no one want to join. I want 2 juniors next year.
I'm seriously disgustingly sick of some idiots. They waste my time, everyone's time so much that Kevin left first. He was already waiting for quite long then what SL stay back and talk for so long, wasting time. Most of the time is not even spent talking, just sit there and shut up don't know doing what. Ask people to stay back just to sit and do nothing. What the heck?! Today I'm even more 不爽 although it's always as irritating as this. I'm super pissed off because they caused me to miss my chance to talk to my FAVOURITE SENIOR! -.-" *profanities*
On the bright side, I still had my other favourite senior who waited for me to leave school with me! ♥ ^_^ I took bus with SUKY :D She said Mr Yu told her I need to work more with the other majors and I always think of my senior... I'm gonna start ranting again. (Skip to next paragraph if you want happy part) Firstly, if they don't tell me anything, how the heck do you want me to work with them? Next, today was the only time I opened the door late because Mdm Yanti didn't come to the cafe as she usually does so I went to get it from her a bit after 8. Thirdly, why am I getting scolded for this when the "DMs" get off scot-free coming late almost everyday? Ok maybe not directed at me only since he said majors, but seriously, are you serious?! So it's fine they come as and when they like and not fine I opened the door late once due to this reason?! For goodness sake, they weren't even here when I opened the door LATE!
Now back to the nice things about seniors :) I asked Suky if Mr Yu meant Kevin, she said he didn't say but of course it is, it can't be her. But actually, when you first stopped coming back to band earlier this year, I also always said I want Suky, I miss Suky, just that you didn't know :D You're my favourite senior too, not need to be jealous of Kevin! ^_^ I ♥MY SENIORS ALWAYS! ♥♥♥
Hello. There was band practice again today. I think Mr Yeo's recovered because he came today :) Memories of Friendship is better for me today. I played 2nd trombone score today :P The melody at D is easier to play on 2nd on 1st, because they're an octave higher than my 3rd. I'm in the same octave as tuba! :O First time! So low... but I still have to play 3rd. The rest of the notes, the crotchets in 2nd trombone are all higher so my mouth will ache as usual, so I'd better play 3rd. If not I'll take 2nd and make DC play 3rd, haha! I'm an evil senior :P Today's whole practice was on Memories of Friendship... Make me miss NCO Band, because it's so boring sometimes when other people don't know how to play their simple parts and waste everyone's time. That never happened in NCO Camp, firstly because the BMs know their parts and next because Mr Kajiyama won't waste time like this because we've only got 5 days. I finally used my new tuner today, the one they gave at the gala dinner in HK!
Oh, and I want to sit in this arrangement everyday, because there was less space today somehow so I'm right behind Hui Shi! :D She's like... a replacement for Kevin, but of course Hui Shi is Hui Shi, Kevin is Kevin :) What I mean is that now I got someone to talk to in practice again, someone to smile with me again and relief me of my lonliness which has been here for more than half a year since Kevin left. Yay ^_^
I'm starting to get sick of this, "band". I'm starting to hate some people also. I seriously hate their narrow-mindedness and stupidity, which includes taking everything for granted, like money (which isn't even theirs, it's their parents') and everything you can think of. You are a main reason I hate money when everyone loves it. I hate time wasters too, they're just wasting my time, actually everone's time, wasting people's lives for worthless things like them. Just stand there talking as if their talks is so damn worth wasting our lives on. People expect major to do everything for the "band", be so nice to them, just because it's major. You give me attitude, I can give you attitude also, who says BMs can't? But when I give you attitude, expect something more from me, after all I'm BM right? Don't expect me to be nice to selfish people who spoil my reputation and future. Who wants to be BM of this "band"? If you look at the disgusting scene and you're not emotionless after 6 months, I take my hat of to you.
Hey, I got U-KISS album but my favourite song, which doesn't say instrumental in the title, is just the background music with no words -.- Cheat people's money.
It grew from a simple crush... I can't sleep till you're next to me, no I can't live without you no more... Feels like insomnia, I just can't go to sleep because it feels like I've fallen for you, it's getting way too deep and I know...
时间是一种解药 也是我现在正服下的毒药
I'm not going to post 彩虹 MV by Jay because at the starting he says some things that don't apply to me.
Hi, I'm back from Hong Kong Winter Band Festival 2010! We were scheduled to touch down in SG at midnight but the flight got delayed 5h and only took off at 1am this morning so I reached at 4.25am and slept at almost 7am when I was starting to see daylight already. I woke up at 3pm...
First day when we reached HK we went to Victoria Harbour and Victoria Peak! Took pictures with some people at airport and those places ^_^ But for this trip, I'm mostly with Jaslyn, yucks! Haha, just joking, we sat in the plane together and shared the room (with Sandy) :) Oh the plane trip there was funny. We were in row 61 but we walk to the end of the whole plane and saw it ended at 60, then we were like, 61??? The whole plane ends here, there's no cabin behind already! Then we saw Dion and Kwot Sin at row 61, only has 4 seats in the middle, no 2 columns at the side, haha, no wonder can't find...
2nd day was Disneyland day! :) We went to Repulse Bay & Stanley Market first. Repulse Bay had lots of Buddha statues of all kinds. The market was boring for me. Aisyah got scared by a lot of dogs there :s They're pets of course, some people had multiple dogs! After lunch we went to Disneyland for about 6.5 hours. I actually didn't want because I don't like theme parks, but it's nice and quite fun :) I was with XQ and Jas. We can't take group picture because only 3 of us, so 2 by 2 only :( Both my camera batteries died today. I changed to 2nd battery in Disneyland, but it finished too in Disneyland -.- Today's parade saw the first SG band to play in the parade, Fajar Sec! Their trombones are cool... We saw the amazing fireworks at 8pm, like the one they play before every Disney show on tv! Pretty! :D Look like stars! ^_^ Late dinner... Today I am super pissed off because yesterday we were supposed to go to Avenue of Stars but they shifted it to today, and today when I asked the teacher, she said it's cancelled. And she didn't even say so till I asked. WTF, she said she asked some people and most preferred the night market. She didn't even ask me, and neither did I hear her ask anyone. What rubbish, cancelling part of the itinerary when it's fixed already. After I went back to the hotel I was still fuming over the phone. Friday was competition day. In the morning when we gathered at the hotel lobby I didn't even recognise NAS Band all in black! I saw my junior and got shocked because I never saw him look so clever, haha. We went to Disneyland Hotel for breakfast. Then went next door to the Cinderella Ballroom for sound check. After which we traveled a bit to Inspiration Lake. Got a lecture and then practiced there, then lunch. Then we went back to our hotel to change and do singing practice on the top floor. Damn scary, we were singing the end of High School Musical then we heard a super loud "BANG!" and the whole glass panel in front of us (not right in front though) shattered but didn't break. Scary... the glass panel is from the floor to the ceiling, very big, and it's totally shattered, you can see the cracks in it, as if it got shot, like what you see in HK dramas. Anyway, no one was hurt, luckily, and we finished our singing practice and headed for Disneyland hotel again. Something very funny happened. Yuan Ching Concert Band was waiting to enter the Cinderella Ballroom for their competition and we were waiting also there to tune and play a bit in the Sleeping Beauty room. Then when we entered my junior walked past their conductor and she went "Oh! This guy's so handsome!" Then her whole band laughed, and I wanted to LOL but cannot because later cannot play properly if I'm laughing. Haha...! After tuning we performed and then went for dinner. Today, the Avenue of Stars is back on again! Yeah! :D And so is the night market... but that's not important. I thought I would see Jay Chou's handprint there, but don't have. And, the one with wax figues is at Victoria peak shopping centre which we went to on day 1. Can only see Bruce Lee's wax figure because it's outside but others are inside which have to pay :( At Avenue of Stars we saw the Symphony of Lights there :) Then went to night market in groups that the teachers decided. I was with trombone & sax section. It's quite awkward being with my section although it's MY juniors.. ._. especially the "handsome" one, but I don't know why, it's just like that, haha.
4th day Saturday is our Disneyland performance day! So we're back in Disneyland and after performance we can stay there for a while to play. I watched the bands after us. Yishun JC played Procession to Peace too! But their 2 trombones is a little weird, they neither used position 6 nor 1 with trigger, and it looks like they're faking because they didn't go past position 4. But they're together so it's not quite possible they fake together, but there's still possibility. It just doesn't look like they're playing the melody in rhythm... they played a 2nd song, Super Junior's Sorry Sorry and Lady Gaga's Bad Romance, nice! :) I saw the parade again today, but no more Fajar Symphonic band, they used Disneyland band. But Fajar's trombones were nicer... At about 5pm we gathered to watch the Lion King performance, got Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Circle of Life, haha. Then we watched Disneyland band perform :) Then we went to the Cinderella Ballroom for the gala dinner. I went with Sandy, Mr Yeo and teacher on stage to get the award... There was guest appearance by Mickey and Minnie! :D We all took section photo with them ^_^
Sunday's our last day in HK. We went to the HK Museum of History. Then we had a band workshop, whole band together. Then lunch at McD YUCKS! -.- I'm eating burger for the first time in about a year, disgusting. We had a bit of shopping after that and went to the airport already. No dinner, our plane was scheduled to leave at 8pm but, the toilet has no water so we got delayed for 5h till 1am this morning! I only slept at almost 7am when the sun was coming out... What a fruitful trip, with happy moments, pissed off times and times when I'm just bored and missing people.
Hi! This happens to be my 345th post. Today there's band practice. Oh and I got birthday wishes from 10+ people! Today is also my birthday :) I'm super touched by some people! ^_^ The first person to wish me today is SARAH HO! ^_^ At 8+ she sms me asking me to meet her, but we were having warm ups, and she had to wait outside the band room till almost 9am! :s Thanks for your pretty hand-made card and the present! :D And sorry for making you wait... I love cards that people make ^_^ 2nd to wish me was Wen Ling, had my birthday on her phone calendar :) Then, Cai Yan! Calendar also, haha, both were surprises for me :) After that was Mavis' wish, wrote it in her pink book, haha ^_^
For practice today (all these wishes happened during practice, so I replied during practice also, haha, exception ok?) we ran through all the songs we're playing in HK. Mr Yeo timed also, because we have 30min limit on performance. But we took 13min only :O At 12pm Chen Hua sms all the way from China! :D But my phone was outside while I kept instrument, so replied late... And in the store room, my 2 DMs Hazirah & Sandy screamed at me, happy birthday of course, super loud, haha! Then I had Aisyah too (because I told her about her senior's sms from China :P). Then I went home, then lunch, then I just reached home when Darryl smsed! So surprised! :D Then Chong Jin ^_^ Then Twinny Rebecca! :D Then this one is totally surprise, Mdm Yanti, haha! Later, on msn also had Regine :)
Hoohoo... some of my favourite people forgot/are unaware :(
Just now I had cake with my family. This year, my cake has words on it! I have "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TROMBONIST" on strawberry shortcake :) My grandma got me a shirt, my parents got me a heart bracelet :) Grandma got me a card too, although it's pink it's still nice, haha! Sarah's card is yellow with gold and silver, all my favourite colours, haha! :D
Thank you for giving me a nice 15th birthday :) In order of wishes from yesterday till today: 1. Han Wei from NCO (yesterday) 2. Sarah! :D 3. Wen Ling :) 4. Cai Yan ^_^ 5. Mavis :D 6. Chen Hua from China XD 7 & 8. Hazirah & Sandy :) 9. Aisyah :) 10. Darryl bro :D 11. Chong Jin :) 12. Twinny Rebecca from NCO ^_^ 13. Mdm Yanti :O 14. Regine :)
First time listening to this, it makes me happy! :)
Hi! Today was Student Learning Festival aka NAS Open House! I'm the only one who wore band uniform... look like China girl! ^_^ But with blazer not anymore. Actually we're supposed to have 2 shifts and I'm supposed to perform because my shift is 9-11am and the performance is 12pm. But Mr Yeo said the 2nd shift some people need to perform if not no melody -.- So, Mr Yeo arranged for me, Qing Ying and Jasmine to stay at the booth for the whole day = no performance for us :( We brought some percussion instruments down for visitors to play...
The band performed before 12pm actually. And we're supposed to perform in the amphitheatre, but it was raining! So we performed at the corridor of the open space amphitheatre instead. I mean, they performed, not we. But, it was raining!!! So hardly any audience. I asked Jasmine and QY to record for me and it looks like the conductors are getting wet. Jasmine said there was thunder, which I heard halfway through the performance video. Poor thing! :( My Band so 委屈... Why do they still have to perform when it's raining there?! Can't they do it elsewhere?! Grrr... Don't let me find out who told us to perform beside the rain.
They were dismissed at 1pm but we stayed till 2pm -.- I shouldn't have brought my trombone down. 委屈了你,对不起. Every time I show off my trombone, whether it's Baby or Taiwan, Liam will say "Your precious trombone..." haha. It's not the first time I show off my trombones to him. Oh but today got to show off to Zames and Jing Wei too! ^_^ I love you Trombone! ^_^ Chong Jin, Filzah and Mavis came back! :D Where's my favourite senior? :( Today was quite boring...but I got a helium balloon! :D Haven't touched one for years.
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
As the header says, I'm back to happy Bass Trombone from happy 1st Trombone :') It was yesterday...
Friday, we watched a movie and did a "test" which was more like reflections, after FIESTA. We had about an hour for FIESTA! I spent it with Sarah walking around and talking :) I support Jasmine by buying 麦芽糖 from her! ^_^ Haha! The apple slices came with some sweet sauce then Sarah ask for one without the sauce -.- And 2R3's stall name is Sticky Corner, haha! :P *We know we are so close, so close, and still so far*
I hate people late and wasting time, especially everyone's time. I taught my juniors sectionals for a while. I hate my sound, I hate braces. I love Band, I love Trombones. I wish I could play with my juniors, but I suppose it's better for them if I don't. I asked to go back to Bass Trombone, for them, the Band. Benjamin agreed to take 1st Trombone. What about for me?
Saturday, marching. I hate people late. I love marching. I hate the way they march. I love Band. Today was the switch back to Bass Trombone.... Feelings can't always be put into words, if not we wouldn't have feelings. Today we only played 2 songs, Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Highlights from High School Musical. I've forgotten the feeling of playing Bass Trombone, the loose embouchure, the round solid sound... The notes seem to be better for me, but I'll have to wait until I play more to see how much more and better I can play. Benjamin seems to have some problem with the 6.5 mouthpiece. He says he can reach the high notes better with the size 1 mouthpiece, interesting, haha. I've got a feeling you'll play well Ben, even if your rhythm is not perfect :)
Today is 20.10.2010! :D Today is marking day, no school. I prefer school actually... If not I'm just wasting a day doing nothing!
Life is short, there's no time for regrets. There's no time to drag whatever you want to do, because like my Taiwan case, having a chance to do something now doesn't mean that chance will always be there. Regret is one of the most horrible feelings, because it means that your life could have been more colourful and meaningful. Also, treasure the ones around you even if you don't particularly love them, much more if you do love them. Don't ever wait until you lose the chance to tell them you love them. Always show them that you do, if you won't say it. Don't waste a perfectly good childhood. My point is if you want to do something, do it while you can. If you don't have the chance to, then make one and take it. But, I know it's easier said than done. Some things have to wait for the right time, but if that time never comes because the situation never changes, than too bad. That's why if we want to do something but the situation and time's not right, we have to ourselves change it to make it right. But I know this also is easier said than done. So let's just try, not give up and hope that people and feelings don't change.
This reminds me of the song I was writing before the exams started. I haven't finished it yet...
Yesterday band. Totally pissed off to see more than half of them coming late. Reach school before 8am so what. Don't I do that 6 times a week, every week, every month? -.- Damn it. We practised Celebration and Song and High School Musical today. My braces seriously so irritating, as irritating as them. DC didn't come again. I cannot play soft because I'll get some yucky sound because the braces are so damn big. DC doesn't have braces but always gets that sound when he's playing loud -.- It's not like he practises to get a proper sound anyway. At the slow part of Celebration and Song, I think there's a 1st alto sax solo, because I only hear Aisyah playing the melody. And I have high notes, as usual given that I'm 1st trombone. That's harder to play soft. Then at bar 73 (again, like Symphonium) I have about one bar of melody with high notes. My sound is seriously yucky even if it's notes in the middle. Today, it's exactly one whole year since the metal's been irritating me. As if that's not enough. I had to write a 2-page report yesterday and send it to Mr Yeo yesterday because Ms Deepa was talking and some people went to keep their instruments. But she was talking to the whole band then she started talking to Josiah, then they walked off, so of course I defend my band in the report. And take the responsibility since I'm supposed to as the BM. I'm not the only one, the other 2 majors also have to write one. The 20 people who went to the ACJC workshop also have to write a report on it, so we majors have 2 to write.
I just finished my workshop report.
I got my hair cut today, yuck. Luckily, the back only (as if that's very little -.-) I cut my fringe last Sunday, myself! I hate hair cuts. They always cut off more than we tell them, or more than they confirm with us. Then we tell them for what, might as well they cut how they want to -.- It's not the first time obviously. I was so angry last time that I cried in front of her in that place. And today the person called me "Ah girl" -.- It's so short now! It's not the longest in class now! :( What's worse is that it's shorter than many people's... At least I'm satisfied with my fringe ^_^
