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...
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.
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 I transformed the bottle of 16 stars into a sweet! For Darryl! He's going to be 16! ... Still don't know why I made it a sweet? Because he's going to be sweet 16! I wrapped it into a sweet shape and put ribbons at the ends :) Having me as a junior ROCKS! 有我当学妹棒极了啦!你很可能一辈子都得不到像我一样贴心,又那么疼爱学长的学妹啊!我的学长们应该珍惜我。I'm so nice to them and they're completely oblivious. True to popular belief, males are oblivious to caring and loving behaviour -.-"'
I'm VERY bored, nothing to do other than homework or study. Haven't done yet. Oh ya, since last year till now I've given Cai Yan Jie, Darryl Kor and Serene presents. And will be giving Germaine, Kevin, maybe even Samuel, Jaslyn, Xuan Lin and Chong Jin, but out of all of them, I think only Jaslyn will give me a present(she's the only one who gave me last year), if she still remembers. If she doens't then, 0. Out of all of them Chong Jin is the only one whose birthday is after mine. If Jas remembers this year, I hope I don't get chocolate again, because I don't like chocolate, haha! I give so many people, who actually gives me? I remember everyone's birthday, WHO REMEMBERS MINE? Even if they remember, they'll forget on that day, or they'll remember but not even give me a card. Darryl, he remembered (cos I told him on 22 November) and wished me thrice, the day before, the day itself and the day after (cos the day after is Genting trip). 3 times, record number of one person's wishing me. And I hope I can remember he did that forever, but what if I become less... (the word that describes people who remember all birthdays and all nice things. Is it 'sweet'?) and actually forget? There isn't a card for me to take out and stare at and think of the person who gave it to me. How sad...
Bye! Hopefully after reading this, YOU won't forget my birthday again, or know it if you never knew.
♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫
Today was SYF Central Judging 2009. I woke up at 5.30am to reach school by 7.15am. My father help me carry my trombone. When I reached there, I didn't see my family. I thought they'd be earlier than me. Then Xue Qi said Dar came and went upstairs alr. Then we went upstairs and the others still waited there. We got chocolate, I forgot from who. Mdm Julinda gave us a lollipop each with a paper with well wishes :D By the way, she's not with Band anymore, she was in charge of Band last year. And she gave us lollipop last year too with "I AM THE BEST" pasted on it. The sticker's still with me :) Cai Yan came! Thank you Cai Yan Jie Jie, we love you! When we're going to the bus, she wanted to take pic of 3 of us (her beloved jrs :D and she's our beloved beloved big sister :D :D) but I think didn't manage to cos of some people -.- But, we still have a lot of chances :D
In the bus I wanted to sit right behind but taken alr, so I sat behind CH. Woah for the first time, our family actually sat together in the bus, although not really together but close enough. Sing A Monmouth Overture and Overture No. 1, haha! My section sang ok! But we didn't last the whole song, every time suddenly stop cos cannot hear the parts, and also cos never sing properly, haha! When we reached, there were 2 other schools. One was red blazer also, but inside white. Another is blue blazer with 2 guy trombonists and 3 girl trombonists with all the same brand and colour of trombone, except maybe some tenor some bass, but looks the same. Ours got CH odd one out, haha. Luckily we change uniform if not we look like the other school. Their blazer same shade as us and got school crest at the same place too o.o The blue school moved off then we and the other school moved to the left. Then Dar tell me to tell myself that we will be better than them. I asked "Who are they in the first place?" Anglican. OMG, that's Anglican? (Of course la, they're before us what, the blue one must be Commonwealth la) After Anglican moved off we moved left again. Blow warm air into trombone. I sang into it too, haha! I almost cried eh! I suddenly feel like crying (but didn't) suddenly feel like talking to CY. They asked us to off hp but I didn't cos CY want me to SMS her before results later so she can call and hear it herself. Our turn to move off. We went to some room to tune again and all. Got 5 rows there (why ah?) then Dar actually went to the 4th row alr (correct) then he thought that's the 3rd row then he move to the back. Then I haven't move there yet (not as anxious as them haha) and saw he go behind then I was gonna go behind too. Then he realised that WAS the 4th row and go back in front. Hahaha! Never mind la, save me the trouble since he go first. Oh ya, last row for percussion right? After that we go wait outside the Hall while Anglican perform. Can see them on the TV there.
Soon it was our turn. OMG, I go in first eh! Last row first. Unlucky la, the stand for me so low (probably no one used it in Anglican so lowered it) then I had to use the one on my left, which is like useless alr. On my left how to see... We're supposed to go in and remain standing, then Darryl go sit down omg! Haha! When they announce our choice piece, the guy read wrongly like "A Men..Monmouth Overture" then Dar was laughing you know?! Ok, Overture No. 1 ending was bad, some short some long. I think my note too short. Mr Yeo's face showed disappointment. Monmouth ending note was better. I think CH played very long, I played shorter than him. Getting off the stage, I was waiting for the front rows to get off by the stairs, then the people tell me to go by the back. So it's like backstage there. They said go by the staircase. Then I go in see the "Store Room" was like ??? after that then the stairs. CH was saying go into the store room. Hahaha!
We put our instruments outside where we waited to go in. Darryl talking to CH, said they rock, haha. Must be 150 again. I don't have that part.. then I look at him then he said we rock (includin me this time, lol) Good to see them happy :) Results, there was an awkward silence. CY was on the line but when they announced she didn't hear. She asked what we got, I said Bronze. Can hear she's disappointed. I said sorry, and she said it's ok but we all know it's not. I cried when principal Mr Lim started his speech. Later, thanks for trying to comfort me Dar and SUKY Jie! She believes in me! :D Suky gave the most comfort :D Thanks for those SMSes, I saved them and I'll remember what you said always! I love Suky, she's so nice :) Bye bye.

Yesterday was band exchange programme at our school auditorium with Dunearn Military Band, Greenridge Symphonic Band (both under Mr Yeo too), Teck Whye Concert Band, Woodlands Ring Military Band & Queenstown Concert Band! :D We came at 8am and warm up and practised before they came. They used classrooms to warm ups and Sec 4s brought them here. They all settled down ater 9am. Very full, so some of us had to take their place when they go on stage then when they come back we shift to the next band's place when they go on stage. But our section didn't need, haha. The band leaders drew lots to see who will play first. Liang Rong got last. So 1st: Teck Whye 2nd: Queenstown 3rd Woodlands Ring 4th Dunearn 5th Greenridge 6th Ngee Ann. I'm not sure about the 2nd & 3rd, I think it's like this. First round we play the set piece and our choice piece.Dunearn's choice piece is Pecos Pueblo, the song they played at the exchange at Greenridge Sec. That time we played Novena. Their song's longest, quite good. During Overture No. 1 part B the semiquavers I could hear very clearly, and it's a slur also. So good, they can tongue so fast and it's soft tonguing too. They only got 3 trombonists too, haha. Opposite us, 2 girls one guy and the guy is bass trombonist, haha. So coincidental. I recognise him.
Before we went up, Darryl & CH emptied saliva first in the bowl. We can't keep the bowl on stage. But I emptied on stage before we started haha. Then Darryl look at me. I also did that the day before he never say anything. Shucks, I messed up the first few notes of my melody at B for Overture No. 1 which was so easy! Arghhh! And at A Monmouth Overture our melody somewhere at 112 was messy. I wanted to record but then when I pressed the button the light came on and never record -.- The light has to be on first or else any button will just turn it on -.- i asked Darryl how he played, he said 150 was a success. But 150 is easy... Then he go high 5 CH then CH said "So loud for what? Idiot" -.- After that was break.
Cai Yan was here! Before we started CH said Cai Yan is in the first row but me & Darryl couldn't see her. Chen Hua go put his instrument at my place -.- Then I got nowhere to put mine. Then Cai Yan call me so I just put it beside his which is a bit blocking the way. So sweet, she gimme present! ^_^ I've never gotten anything on Valentines' Day, first one heheh. Got flower, chocolate and a paper :)
There was some food at the canteen, cool. Like tarts and drink but I didn't eat, haha, cos I go toilet then about time already. 10min break only, cos we're behind time. When we go back, 2nd round play choice piece only. This time I managed to record. And I played well! :D But soft even at my melody :( At least I hit the right notes there... I asked Darryl how he played, he's satisfied.
Then the schools started leaving, Sec 4s went to see them off. We started clearing the things on stage. One guy came to me and gave me a present. He said "Ngee Ann Trombone Section. This is from our section, (something something) section." He was mumbling so I couldn't hear the school and section but should be trombone section too. I said thank you and no idea why he said thank you back. So nice of their section :) I got a lot of sweets from band people later, haha, even those I'm not close to and don't talk to.

Thank you all who gave me presents, esp dearest CY and Woodlands Ring Trombone Section ^_^ Happiest Valentines' Day (and first one too) yay! Bye! :D
I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!:D
Ngee Ann Tapestry 3 yesterday! :D NAS Band rocked the hall! :D It was at Singapore Conference Hall. I didn't know Darryl took the same bus as me. I saw no blue uniform at the bus stop so I thought he wasn't there. Only until he walked past me, I happened to look up and saw him. He was wearing the Band uniform.
I waited for Jaslyn and Xue Qi to arrive at school, they were late. Then Cliff came and asked us to help, so we went to help. We were outside the Band room doing nothing because we didn't know how to move the instruments. Then Cliff asked us to follow him. He went to somewhere like a store room and tried to open the door but it was locked. Then he told us to wait there and went somewhere. Then someone came and unlocked the door to take something and left the door open but we didn't go in. Xue Qi and I looked at each other and laughed. Cliff came and said" Sorry sorry, come...why's the door opened?" Then Xue Qi said" Just now 1 girl come and open the door." Then we laughed again and Cliff asked us to go in and he walked there. None of us moved then he was like "Come!..." We took chairs for the seniors and moved them to the M-Learning Room. Someone told us to leave our shoes outside so we did that. Xue Qi and Jaslyn chose a spot at the end of all the shoes so I also put mine there. I told them those at that area were my seniors' shoes because I saw most of the black shoes there. True enough it was theirs. Xue Qi said" You clever..." haha!
Mr Yeo gave us a lecture on how we got ready for about 30min. Then Ms Ong came in and said the lorry was here. So he quickly ended his lecture and they did Low Chromatic Notes for warm up and practiced Silvercrest and Blue Ridge Saga once. Then Mdm Julinda gave the band lollipop! It's colourful. Some people got the round one, some (including me) got the twisted one. It's not very big but it's the biggest one I ever got.
Then we left the room and boarded the bus. Actually Ms Ong said the brass players follow the seniors(who were there going to the bus, all were brass players) then she saw that Xue Qi was the only woodwind player and let all the juniors board the bus for brass players. I sat with her in the bus. They carried their instruments with them in the bus without the case! I thought Bands put their instruments in a lorry which transports them to the performance place.
So the bus headed for SCH. And during the bus journey, teacher said everyone should be seated. Then some people turned behind to look so I followed suit. Kevin was the one standing. He was holding the 2 bars on the ceiling of the bus and bending over the row on the other side to see something. Looks kind of funny haha, I went" What's my senior doing???" Haha! We passed by the Singapore Flyer. We reached SCH 30min after leaving school. When we went in I told Xue Qi "So this is what we''ll be doing when we join Main Band..." I can't wait to join Main Band! Participating in concerts and competitions and feeling nervous... How nice :) We couldn't go in to the hall yet so we sat on the floor next to the stairs leading there. My seniors looked so cool in the Band uniform! :D Kevin was leaning against the door which lead to outside(Nothing outside) then the door opened, haha. So we sat there and waited until we could go in.
We went in to where the audience sit and just sat there. I took a picture of my seniors! :D It was cold there and I told Xue Qi the seniors can wear the blazer if they feel cold. And that was exactly what Kevin did :D He wore it the other way round, haha. Then we went to the practice room through a door by at the side of the stage. When we went in, 2 seniors were standing there, each on 1 side saying" Hello! Welcome to Singapore!..." and bowing, hahaha!
The juniors had to stay in 1 corner of the practice room because we were helpers. Then we had to help put all the seniors' bags in that corner. There happened to have space beside my bag so I had to put Darryl's bag there-right beside mine. Then someone took Kevin's file and blazer which were put together and put it in the corner. Then I went" That's my senior's blazer!..." I knew he wanted it from his actions when that idiot took it. Then that idiot kept saying never mind. How can he play without the file? Then Darryl said pass the file and blazer then that idiot told me that as if I couldn't hear it and he was the one who took it. So I took it back. We were constantly being called out to help, sometimes when no help was needed and we just went back. I didn't have a chance to record the seniors playing. At first they combined but later they just practiced on their own.
After their rehearsal on stage, we went on the stage to help take the stands and chairs and the percussion instruments. The Timpani was pushing against the snare drum and it dropped-.- Then we went back to the practice room and I just kept looking at my seniors practice. Samuel is quite tall but Cai Yan said he's quite short. He brought his PSP! Kevin is unfair. He doesn't even talk to me yet he lent his handphone to another girl junior when she asked him to lend-.- so sad. I'm jealous! ):<
The Chinese Orchestra was beside us. And while everyone was practicing on their own, BM wanted Band to combine. He said their mission was to be louder than CO. So they played Silvercrest first as usual and sure they were loud! :D Just as I told Xue Qi when the CO went into the practice room, the Band would blast them when they are practicing! :D I wanted to take pictures but didn't. I also wanted to record them playing but didn't have any chance. Some Clarinet seniors and a Saxophone senior kept playing the Elmo song haha! Some Sec 4s came and gave them some gifts like glow, sticks and flowers. Cai Yan gave my seniors flowers which is quite girlish. She also gave me 2 chocolates :D
Then they performed on stage-the first item. We were backstage watching their performance from a TV inside. Then when they finished, we helped with the chairs and instruments. The Trumpet junior dropped the cymbal-.- Then we went back to the holding room and DM or BM asked whether they wanted to do 3 cheers. They went "No..." but Cliff still went on with it. He said wanted to do 4 cheers then decided to do 5 cheers instead. So we did 5 cheers. He shouted until his throat hurt haha. "5 cheers and 5 cheers and 5 cheers for NAS Band" then we shouted hurray. They said they didn't want to but still shouted so loudly :D We left soon after. While walking down the stairs when we were leaving, my mother called and I was talking and I almost fell. Missed a few steps and my shoulder hurt. This time Xue Qi couldn't take the same bus as us. I sat with Jaslyn and when we passed the Singapore Flyer, there was light. Jaslyn and I tried to take pictures but it didn't look like anything. Jaslyn tried talking a few pictures in the bus. That's all I think. Bye!
