Long time no see! :) I changed blog background though I liked the previous one, because the words were hard to see. Anyway, this one the words are small too, had to ask Carine to help me increase the font size. Then we realised this stupid thing has a huge mistake, which is the Jay Chou picture is not in the blogskin code -.- So she's gonna help me put another Jay picture here soon ^_^

Last Friday 3 June I went back to band! :D After lesson ended at 12:30 I went for lunch with Amanda at Tampines One! ^_^ Then we went to buy birthday present. I still need to buy one present for one VIP...don't know what to get him and where to get it :( We reached band at 3pm. Today was sectionals as usual on Fridays. Mr Wong came, he thought my O Levels over already -.- I played the new songs... and I played Hui Shi's tuba! Hehe, I played 菊花台 ^_^ I also tried to play 蒲公英的约定 & 想你就写信 on my trombone Darling :) I let Hui Shi play my trombone too, under my supervision of course :D Today was fun! Except my other best friend didn't come... :(

I hate gossips. But my best friend can ignore those gossip and continue to be my best friend, that's what makes him special and all the more my best friend ♥ Meeting you is my fortune ^_^

I've been messaging Amanda everyday since I downloaded some free messaging app on my phone :D My best friend who loves me more than anyone else since sec 1 ^_^ ♥

Hello! Tonight's post is for SUKY! ^_^

Today I'm happier than other Saturdays because Suky came! Surprisingly, Ding Cong that naughty junior of mine also came today... And I was thinking: When Suky comes she'll definitely ask me where he is, and I'll say I don't know... What a coincidence, DC count yourself lucky, haha. But, I'm not happy because Zijian didn't come :( Luckily I didn't fall sick again, haha! (Inside joke)

Anyway, there was breathing exercises during warm ups today, reminds me of my much-missed NCO Band... and Mr Kajiyama the conductor. We played the 2 SYF pieces... Mr Yu asked my junior not to play at the slow part, then halfway into the slow part, out of nowhere he ask him to come in. I don't even know where he's supposed to come in, I don't think he does either! Omg, that leaves only me on 2nd trombone for the start of the slow part that I don't like.

At 10:30 + Suky came! Miss her a lot lot! ^_^ ♥ At 11:30 we sight read Apple Island Legend (which she says is very 难听) and the familiar (to me) To Challenge The Skies And Heavens Above! Of course it's familiar to me and not to you, because you hardly know anything about the band of the past, and I already know rather little. The problem with this "band" is bla bla I'm not going to state because you'll be reading an essay if I do. Tsk but I'm not satisfied with myself... because I can read the score, but somehow I couldn't play it! Furthermore, I remember that part from the recording which is from Suky I think...

After practice I left school with Suky :)

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 Trombone Outing 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.

昨天是第4个100天

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 :) 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 :)

Hello! There was band practice yesterday. MY FAVOURITE SENIORS SUKY & 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! ♥♥♥

Band practice today! We played with a mute to train... ah my low notes just suck :'( It didn't use to be like this... JAY CHOU IS TRENDING IN BAND! :D Almost every practice the conductors say "Don't be a Jay Chou! Articulate the notes!" hahaha!

Anyway, the 3R1-ers left at 9.25am. I'm proud to say we were not late when everyone else was. We went to SPCA for a talk and interact with animals, but I didn't touch any. The dog area stinks quite badly, I don't know why but individual dogs don't usually stink... but that area almost made me vomit :s

There was band gift exchange today but I missed it. Anyway Hui Shi took mine for me :)

Hello! 好久不见，你还好吗？Today there band practice resume! :D Damned juniors took the slide oil and both didn't come -.- So I used slide cream with the spray (I changed the water Mr Yu!) which is even better, haha!

We have the SYF Set piece, Memories of Friendship. I accidentally took 1st trombone score and read it and only realised I took wrong one after the break, just before we started on it -.- 我还挂念着 1st trombone 嘛……But it's surprising, the 1st trombone score is easier to sight read than 3rd trombone, because the faster notes have positions close to each other, 3rd trombone has to move more. There are 2 parts where trombone has melody. It's a nice song with a "very Japanese" melody as Mr Yu said. Well, it's written by Satoshi Yagisawa. The song is mostly crotchets for trombone. It's actually a bit... easy, but I dare not boast because my sound is still yucky, corrupted by braces. Damn it, next appointment is in January eh, and SYF's in APRIL! After that the next appointment's probably MARCH. Even if I take out, it's too close to SYF and it'll be even worse than with braces. Ya anyway, we also played Celebration and Song once today, ew.

Just now I was busy finishing writing Chinese story. I'm gonna hand write it on nice paper or decorate my paper! :D I wrote a story called 学长的学妹，很明显我写的是谁吧。I took extra care 把他描写得很好哦！

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.

Hello! :) Yesterday was our last band practice before the HK trip... I feel so sorry for Mr Yu, he must be feeling the same as Mr Yeo, but he doesn't show or say anything, he rarely scolds people. Why?... He really shouldn't be wasting his life here. I think we're so lucky to have Mr Yu, but he would be better some place better where he can build up his reputation...

Today I practised trombone! ^_^ Yesterday got dental after band, braces tightened, so I MUST play to get used to it. We won't have time to practice in HK, unless I use Tuesday which is Disneyland day, because I don't have to stay at Disneyland the whole time allocated. I never liked this kind of place anyway... :)

I'll be leaving for the airport in a few hours. Tomorrow my flight is 6.45am, Band has to report at 4.30am, so I have to wake up at 3.30am (not 2.30am, save half hour because I want to eat at the airport, save another half hour because I'm taking cab) Have to sleep soon (but I'm still full from dinner -.-). Oh my gosh, I'm so gonna miss you! I'm already missing you a lot! But being in HK means I can't go online, so I'll miss you MORE! I'll be back at midnight on 5 Dec, miss me! :)

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 :)

Today got band practice! :) Should be sectionals but Mr Yeo came so we had combined practice. I think I'm gonna play lousily for the Winter Band Festival. My mouth hurts, my heart hurts. I'm not as confident of my parts as I used to be before I put braces. I didn't memorise my score like I did last year. Actually, I don't purposely memorise, it comes naturally. But now I can't memorise :(

Anyway, today Mr Yeo mentioned some of my favourite things: Jay Chou and China!!! :D
He was talking to Kwot Sin who always mumbles everything he says.
Mr Yeo: Do you like 周杰伦？
Kwot Sin: No
Hui Shi (looks at me)
Me: (quietly) Yes! Yes! Yes! *nods frantically* :D
Hahaha! I once showed her my phone background which is Jay picture ^_^

Then at It's A Small World, the part that says "The Orient" he asked them to be more oriental. Then he said people have a (I forgot that word! >_<) that oriental is (then he starts singing). Then he say "We are from China. Mao Zedong says..." haha, actually ah, Yu Bin was there -.- And Chinese DON'T talk like that! Luckily never say offensive stuff, if not my face black already.

Tomorrow is my birthday, and I got an email reminder from hotmail that it is my birthday, haha! I wonder how that happened! This year, I was supposed to make 2 birthday cards, but only made 1... I doubt I'll be getting any this year, he doesn't know my birthday, I think. Tomorrow I'm seeing Band. I remember last year Rebekah said "Today is Rebecca Tan's birthday!" and if she didn't say my surname it'll sound funny, haha! Well, I'm not expecting anything :) Cards are better than presents though! :D Haha! Eh... very unexpectedly, Han Wei from NCO is the first to wish me happy birthday this year, just now only :O Saw my MSN display message, and he won't be at home tomorrow, so wish me just now. I think China is going to wish me tomorrow! ^_^ But I'm kind of greedy, what about the other one?

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.

This is for 16 November, 我的第300天.

Hello! :) Monday sectionals was 2 hours only. But of course it can't be 2 hours exactly. It was less than 1h30min definitely. DC didn't come, Benjamin seemed emo :( So I didn't disturb him until we play Can You Feel The Love Tonight together. But we just started then the brasses wanna have brass combined -.- So brass combined on Circle of Life it is! No conductor, because Dion's going overseas! So he wanna practice more :) No conductor = all over the place, but still manageable! Luckily! Then we went back to the room to whole band combine. Thank you Serene for the textbooks! ^_^

Tuesday, also band practice but combined. Mr Yu came today! I miss him, haha! DC also came today (but I don't miss him, haha), but the more the merrier anyway :) Juniors can be as good as seniors! ^_^ I noticed he likes to touch the trombone all over -.- Haha! Must polish off the fingerprints ah! Practice progresses very slowly... Compared to the NCO Band of course. Songs like Circle Of Life and Can You Feel The Love Tonight, simple one page songs, Mr Kajiyama will only spend 10min... Not 1h... because he doesn't go into detail and tell every section how to play. Just some melody and important non-melody. The rest... settle it yourself. Anyway, after band practice we had to go for the HK trip briefing which we're late -.- Jaslyn & I bought and are sharing a HK SIM card... ^_^

Today also combined practice and we used the music room. Whoo! So spacious but not well-lit. I used the new polishing cloth that comes in my Taiwan case. It's cool, 10x finer than silk and 100% washable, made in Taiwan ^_^ When I take out polishing cloth, I keep polishing throughout the whole practice ^_^ We practiced Celebration and Song and It's A Small World. Then we packed up and rush out because the school wanna shut the shutters at 11.15! :O

Today Chen Hua is going to China! :D Enjoy your trip, stay safe and (most of all XD) miss me... Bye! :)

♫♪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 back to happy Bass Trombone!!♪♫

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 :)
