♫♪I'm back to happy Bass Trombone!!♪♫

I'm officially graduated from Band now... SYF last Tuesday was emotionless for me because I already exhausted myself from crying too much 2 years ago, and last year. This SYF I could laugh, ha... big contrast from 2 years ago. Of course right? 2 years ago we had it worse than now, so obviously the impact is less now. I totally had no feeling when I heard the results.

Having said that, I'm more sad about leaving than the results. 我舍不得 juniors... Zijian, Amanda, Hui Shi...

Especially Amanda because she's the first junior I ever had who ♥ me so much...

Zijian because I haven't had lunch with him yet, haven't had at least one photo with him yet, and only had 3 months with him... Happy 3rd month by the way, I stepped down on your 3rd month :(

Exactly. The Investiture was on 15 April, but I didn't go because the handing over of CCA flag part was removed and I didn't want to go as a guest because I'd have to stay in school for hours.

And Hui Shi "boyfriend" because she was one of the first juniors I got close to :)

All are my favourite juniors, and of course Carine & Stacia since the HK band trip I'll never forget :)

I am going to miss you all SO much now... I will come back in June before my Chinese O Levels to see how my dears are doing. I wish I had more time with them. Why does someone always have to leave too soon? Last time it was my seniors, now it's me who has to graduate when I've only just found the people who return my ♥ ... I have no regrets because it's not me who made the time so little. I treasured my time with them, but pity the time was short. I'll go back to have more time with them, it's a promise. When I go back, I want to hear them play, have lunch with them, and have photos with them (hopefully in band uniform) :)

To all my dears, I ♥ you!!! ^_^

♫♪I'm a happy 2nd Trombone!!♪♫

Today was the farewell party for graduating seniors. The preparation up at the band room sucked. Maybe that was because I was in charge, and there was nothing much to do. But I came up with the idea to use ribbons to write "WE (heart) SENIORS!" on the cupboards on top :D Then there's bunches of balloons on the ceiling. So many slackers though -.- Had 2 hours to decorate, too long already. The other majors were preparing at the canteen. At 10am, some seniors came, some haven't. A few minutes later some more came. But mine still no where to be seen! So I called but he didn't answer. We got everyone to sit on the chairs that were in rows and starting the programme with the powerpoint slide. Halfway through Kevin called me! :D I rush out to answer and he was in school already, so I told him "faster faster!" and he was up in a flash :D We both had no chair (I sat on floor beside Suky) and he's beside the door. Then Yu Bin passed me one but I let Kevin sit, then he let me sit. Then we keep letting and in the end I sat there and he beside Chen Hua. After the powerpoint slideshow, Mr Yeo wanted to give out the certificates he printed. Just nice Kevin is the first one, then I thought I'm supposed to give them -.- Mr Yeo present them in front while I pass to him, ohhhhhhh cheh! Haha! After that with instruction from Mr Yeo I invited the seniors to say a few words. Kevin and Chen Hua one was funny :D The string from projector screen keep disturbing Kevin. Then they make so much noise until he never finish sentence. Then when Chen Hua say "I join Band" then Kevin laugh. ??? Then later I found out why, cos he alr knew what he's gonna say I think. "I join Band because I thought there's guitar in band" then Kevin laugh like crazy, HAHAHAHAHA! After Mr Yu and Yeo talked (almost cried!), I told them go down to canteen. Gave Kevin my gift and a handshake :) Suky and Jonathan and Hansel and a clarinet alumni were in the music room playing and I didn't disturb them. So I went out and Mr Yu came with me to tell them. They said later they go :( So I went, by the time I reached Kevin was removing candle wax from the choc cake, blew candle alr! :( I took picture with Kevin and section photos too, yay! But Sax Sect looks more one, like family, really... Finally I have some band pictures again! Haven't taken since so long! Use Serene's camera cos my phone suddenly spoil -.- During Trombone Outing I shall take more! :D Thanks Serene! :) I'm so sad yet happy today, sad that they're leaving but happy that we gave them this celebration. Happy that Kevin said "see you" to me for the first time, haha. I will miss him...

I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!:D

There was Band practice today!!:D It was nice and fun, as usual. We practiced in 2C1 classroom and the desks were very vandalised:O We shifted the desks and chairs and sat in a circle. Our Standard Of Excellence books had arrived and I got mine!Yay!:D Today Ms Leong used an instrument which is something like a piano. It's called Harmony something because it can play different notes at the same time and the sound would only stop when you lift your fingers off the keys. That's one way it's different from a piano.

Today I was very clever:D I gave ALL the correct answers!:D Yay! Ms Leong played hangman with us and the words had things to do with music. The first word had something to do with the pitch. Everyone was shouting out letters but none of them were in the word. Then I said(not shout)"T". Then there were 2 Ts and Larry said I was a genius. Haha! Then after guessing for a while, there were a few letters already but no one guessed the word. Then Ms Leong said"No one can guess the word? Rebecca?" I said"Er...Intonation?" Ms Leong:"Yes! Intonation!"Haha!Yay! Then she taught a bit about it.

Then the next word. Guessing the first letter, Larry shouted"T!T!T!" then Ms Leong said"No T" then everyone stared laughing. After a while, I said"Subdivision" and it was correct!:D Ms Leong said"Why is Rebecca always the one giving the correct answers?"

Last word. She gave us the first and second letter as a clue. Again, I went"Staccato. Staccato!" And she said"Rebecca, don't say the answer." I already said it twice and yet almost everyone didn't hear me.

We played Merrily We Roll Along. Then I was pitching the notes in my head and figured that it was Mary Had A Little Lamb! The she told us it's a song that we all know.She asked what song it was and AGAIN, I said"Mary Had A Little Lamb" and it was correct!:D Wooh! Nice!

So we played that and she asked us to close our books and play it. I could memorise it already so it was no problem for me. Just then, Mabeline and Taufiq came in. Woah...Larry wasn't playing well...Then we started playing and when we finished, Ms Leong said he was playing B flat B flat B flat! Haha! My playing was fine. Then we played a few more times and while I was playing half way I realised that some of our seniors were in the room! Cai Yan, Zhi Hui, Rebekah, Yi Hui, Shir Lin...I think that's all or there were a few more. All of them got position one! Cool! Then Zi Yuan dropped his Tuba and gave Cai Yan a shock! She was standing near him. I got a shock too! And he dropped it right in front of the seniors! But didn't get scolded.

Band practice ended at 12:30pm because we had half an hour break. After Band practice, Rebekah and Cai Yan told us that they would need us to help on Graduation Day for the sec 4s which is Passing Out Parade. The sec 4 seniors would be graduating from Band on 17 May. That's so sad...My beloved senior, Section Leader and Drum Major, Cai Yan, wouldn't be in Band anymore. Cai Yan said they didn't want to trouble other CCAs and they wanted it to be a whole Band thing. So there were receptionist and ushers needed. I actually wanted to be a receptionist but I'm not, but never mind:D I'm an usher and the one who stands on the stage and holds the tray with the sec 4 seniors' Graduation Certificate!!:D Yay!

When Rebekah asked who wanted to be receptionist, she was so soft that I couldn't hear her. Then later she asked who wanted to be usher and no one volunteered. The the first person she called was none other than...me! Rebekah:"Rebecca, you want to be usher?" Me:"Ah anything, anything." Rebekah:"Can you be usher?" Me:"Can!" Ya, and I said "Can!" with the "No Problem!" tone. Ya and so she wrote my name down and I became the usher. Someone wanted Larry to be usher and Mabeline kept on saying"Go Larry." But he everything also don't want then she said"How can you disappoint me...?" Then some people went like" Oh my gosh!" and laughing like that. Haha! Then later Cai Yan asked who wanted to be the one to carry the tray with the Graduation Certs and one more to carry something else. Then no one volunteered. I volunteered. She asked me which one I wanted to carry. And I needed to think for one second so I"Huh?" and she repeated her question and I said" Graduation Cert?" Then I immediately had my name written:D Yay! We can have 2 jobs. All of us had a job and there was certain attire we had to wear. The attire was black long sleeve shirt with collar and black long pants. There is also a tie which they said we would purchase together as a Band. Then some people asked where to get the attire and they said"Buy la!" Cai Yan said"Go shopping:D" haha! She likes shopping.

After Band practice, I went for lunch then went shopping, for the attire. I found a shirt but didn't buy it first. Then went to look for the pants but all not nice, so I just bought the shirt first. Ya, so much happened during my favourite time, BAND PRACTICE!!!:D Alright, that's all. Bye!
