Band Practice
♫♪I'm back to happy Bass Trombone!!♪♫
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! ♥♥♥ Labels: Band, Feelings/Emotions, Juniors, pissed, Seniors, Trombone

Band practice
♫♪I'm back to happy Bass Trombone!!♪♫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.

Band practice
♫♪I'm a happy 1st Trombone!!♪♫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 ^_^

Band practice & Mr Yu's birthday
♫♪I'm a happy 1st Trombone!!♪♫Hello! Tuesday 20 July no practice because of O Level Chinese listening comprehension and Sec 3 higher CL one cos they taking the normal CL O level, so we were unable to celebrate our dear Mr LY and Mr LY's birthdays! Mr Yeo's is 19 July Monday, Mr Yu's is 23 July yesterday. I only SMSed the 2 of them on their birthdays. Friday was sectionals, no conductors as usual, so a lot of them came late, even though most came about 10min late, but late's still late. Those who came even later include COMMITTEE members! -.- We warmed up for a while and then went to sectionals in the 2 idiotically small rooms. I didn't go there at all because I was in charge of them making birthday cards. After school I waited for Mavis to finish her HCL lesson then went bookshop to buy 2 big cards (what material??) and small cards. We want to get everyone to write a small card and paste on the big one according to section. Took about 30min to buy the stuff, haha. It's hard to decide when we don't have a draft, but it's impossible to have a draft right? So we bought bright red and off-white huge cards and a box of small cards. During sectionals, I actually wanted section by section to come up and write 2 cards each but somehow the committee came for some games day meeting, what the shit. They even said they wanted it on Saturday despite Mdm Yanti objecting as the conductors are paid to come on Saturdays. Omg... seriously is this my committee? Then after that more than one section came up because apparently the some of my comm members told them to come when I didn't -.- haha.
Some of them come and slack sia... what the heck, damn irritated with them. They like to deprive people ah, deprive conductors of their work, deprive me of MY sectionals time. I couldn't go sectionals cos I had to be up there, but at least can self practice right -.- Come to think of it, all 3 majors were up here, but for what sia?! I bet the band slacked :( ... Useless. I can't believe my committee, seriously. After band practice, Mavis (came at 5 after lesson), Jaslyn & Xue Qi stayed back till 7+ to make the cards! We had to substitute empty cards so that we have space for Sec 1s' cards. The organisation of where and how to arrange the smal cards was hard! The red one was for Mr Yu with white words. I think it's like a HK flag cos the background's red and the inside's white, haha. Mr Yeo's is white with red words, opposite and more like Singapore flag. I think this part's very cool! :D Mr Yu's card is nicer, but not because I was biased! Just happened to be.
Today, band again. Marching in the morning. We brought the cards and materials for the sec 1s to make. Again, Jaslyn & Xue Qi stayed to help me while the rest do marching. Some irresponsible people came very late. Some asshole is being very extra in band and loves scolding vulgarities and scolding people's mother behind their back after irritated them and making them pissed off. What's his problem, scold people's mother for nothing. F*** that damn Yu Bin, go die la, you're an insult to your mother. You got mother people don't have ah, what if I go scold your mother after being an asshole to you, idiot. Act damn extra, show off on every single rubbish thing as if you're so great. You ADHD go f off la, ass. Want people to notice your stupidity and rubbish for what, as if you're worth noticing. Totally have no pride yet act so proud, there's nothing even to be proud of, as if you play music nicely, it's like shit ok, worse than shit. Your skills suck more than anyone I've ever seen, still so thick-skinned go around playing so damn fking loudly and irritate people. No one wanna hear you bullshit so f off. Just spoiling your country's reputation and making people think that your countrymen are like that. The most shameless person you can ever find in the band. Fker.
After marching they went upstairs and warmed up and tuned till Mr Yu came. Mr Yeo said he wouldn't be coming today :( Shucks, the birthday... We did a lot of the Great Band Workout warm up today with Sec 1s, then we played the new songs Rocking to the Rhymes and part of Nobody. We have 3 songs actually. After practice ended, we delayed the celebration a while cos there was no knife with the cake! Mavis went to buy. I stalled for time with the band whenever Mr Yu wanted to dismiss them cos he wants to see comm. Haha, twice, very strange. First time attendance, luckily 2nd time can tell them about band blog, haha. Then I went out to see and yay! Got knife alr. I think I very strange today, I open the door and go "Mr Yu! We got something for you!" Haha, crazy. Gabriel and Mavis brought the cake and we sang a birthday song (English) and I gave the huge pretty card :) Mr Yu sick, couldn't eat the cake... :( After giving out the cake, he had comm meeting to talk about band uniform and t shirt. I didn't even know they said they wanted white blazer, wth! Since when, and why white? Last year just changed uniform -.- Ok that's it, bye :)

Band practices
♫♪I'm a happy 1st Trombone!!♪♫Hi, band practice on Wednesday and today. Wednesday 23 June 2010 was the worst day at band ever, other than last SYF. Gave up what was so important to me just for band's sake when they wouldn't even bother about it actually. I told a white lie, but it's actually quite obvious that it's a lie, anyone who knows me and believed it must be an idiot. But the conductors understood what I said so they went according to my wish (which is actually not entirely my wish, my wish is something else but will not be good for Band). If anyone's reading, I actually wish something but I know it'll not be good for Band, so I wish otherwise, and so I have conflicting wishes. But that was one of the most important things to me ever, which is why I was late back from break. Break will till 10.35 but I went back at 10.50, must be understanding la, but I don't think anyone even cared IF they noticed -.- Why do I even care so much about Band when they don't? I GAVE UP MY DREAM, TOLD A WHITE LIE, DISAPPOINTED MYSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE, TORTURE MYSELF FOR WHAT?! :( I thought I wasn't a selfless person, I used to be selfish right? I still am right? I don't know. They day was just sh*tty for me. After band I went to have lunch alone then project at Francoise's house again. As if I'm not emo enough he kept wasting time and slacking, reminding me of BAND! -.- I had gastric pain there, but he help me buy food :) When I went home it was painful like every step I took. I reached home at 8 by the way. Shortly after, I puked it out, then after a while the pain went away... What a lousy day. Later while I was playing with my phone, Jonathan called. Haha! He used the same trick. Pretend to be surveyor, I already recognise the number and his voice la, lol. He called to tell me he's coming today, and to give him and Geck Woon the Tapestry tickets :) I told him about my emo day... Er... he's the only person I've talked to on the phone when I don't need to. Need to as in, calling to take band key, directions (3R1 bbq, Jaslyn haha) all that.
Today Band! Jonathan and Yin Xuan came together at about 8.30am. He's the tuba player whose stapler was found in our cupboard before, haha! Walao Jonathan wear the same shirt he wore to Suky's concert! After a while Geck Woon also came and they sat at the percussion area. But less than 30min later the 2 of them gone, left YX. Then later he said wanna go toilet, then gone. We were playing Procession to Peace part G for more than 30min -.- due to some who can't count. During break, I saw they were all in music room -.- I miss Suky and she miss me too (really)! :( I went in to hear them play, they took Kevin and Darryl's files. See, even GW don't believe I don't want to play the solo. Gave them their tickets but GW can't go :( After break continue with PTP for very long until 11.30 then Symphonium. I know, the feeling won't go away. It's not nice. I want my senior (I know got 2 seniors today, but I want Kevin)! I miss my senior! :'( I miss his solo! Damn now Mr Yu say he wants tenor sax (Serene) to play too. After band GW talked to the band and committee. She likes "Jaslyn's solo" but I don't.
*我告诉你,我很会哭的。一哭就能哭到至少半个小时。那时我在 conductors 面前哭,他们叫 Jaslyn 带我到厕所洗脸,可是我都还没哭够!不到几分钟就停了。所以我回来,给 trombone 保养以下后,就失重到迟到才回来。可是他们都不管的啦,我猜有些人都不知道我不在。就算知道也以为我是没理由的迟到,白痴。Band Major 怎么可能没理由迟到!所以我说,为了这种乐队牺牲那么多时不值得的。

Jay Chou's 10th album
♫♪I'm a happy 1st Trombone!!♪♫Hey! My mother just got me Jay Chou's 10th album 跨時代! By the way, the song 超人不会飛 that you're listening to on the blog is from his 10th album. It was $13.95 (without the Popular card discount) but there were 2 others which were the same but one was $10 because of extra 2 music video and Jay Chou badge or something. Another one was $35 because of the metal case. And the one I got so lousy! When I put into the computer, ALL the song info are wrong! Album title, song title, even album picture is from wrong album! I had to change it all myself, in 繁体字... but picture can't change of course :( idiot -.- cheat my mother's money. Don't tell me this is imitation. But at the very least, the songs are correct. I got a damn shock when I saw the album info, I thought the songs were wrong... But this is bad enough. Then I couldn't rip the CD onto the computer... the function was disabled... Why is the CD so cheapo and lousy? It's Jay Chou's album you know, all those idiotic mistakes are insulting him. -.- Damn it!
In the WRONG info (all was from another album) all the songs were written by himself :O Cool, it's highly possible that for this album he did too :) I'm sure he wrote Superman Can't Fly. Anyway, I'm not happy about the damn wrong info, the more expensive 2 might have been different... but I'm happy that I got his songs now :D Bye!

♫♪I'm a happy 1st Trombone!!♪♫Band yesterday. Marching sucked, for the first time. Mr Yeo teach us to walk 8 steps in 5m for the entire time until 9 o'clock -.- In the sports hall -.- I'd rather do the usual stuff in the quadrangle under the sun...
Then we went to set up the ISH and our instruments and Mr Yu came. Sec 1s stayed in the band room, as usual for Saturday. Today's the last Saturday practice before holiday schedule begins... Mr Yu did Procession to Peace for very long. Suky came! At 10+ and sat with us :D Jonathan didn't come (though he said he would) because he's sick. Oh... I wanted to give him that first Tapestry ticket in the whole school, haha! :D Mr Yu is very confusing, I don't know if it's his English or just him. During warm up we play scales, his instructions keep changing. Then during my 8 bars after D "solo" in PTP (Yu Bin's also playing it) he first said want crescendo then decrescendo, so I wrote on my score already. Then after playing he say do away with the crescendo because cannot hear the first part. Then after that he said mine is background music (which it is NOT) so play softer. Then I play softer (and it sounds muted) and he says that's it -.- And how am I supposed to decrescendo then? Suky says just ignore the decrescendo, so be it. Why must he make me sound like a horn? I don't like it. In the professional recording, trombone is bright, not the background music! And last time he said the trombone Symphonium solo is the counter melody while horn is the melody. ARE YOU SURE?! EVEN SUKY THINKS THAT BOTH OF THESE ARE THE MELODIES. I'm very sure Symphonium trombone is solo, just hear the parts can tell already what! Anyway, today's Symphonium sucked because I was tired. More tired than usual. Play the starting tired already, by the time reach the solo even worse. And, IF YOU THINK YOUR JUNIOR WHO'S NOT A TROMBONIST SHOULD BE PLAYING THE SOLO, THEN YOU GO PUT METAL IN HER MOUTH THEN YOU COME AND BE ARROGANT WITH ME. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, GO SHOVE METAL IN YOUR MOUTH. 你什么都不知道,却自以为是地鄙视别人,以为你学妹比别人都好。好阿,那你去绑牙,自己经历一下看看你还能不能吹奏乐器。叫你学妹去绑牙啦,如果她吹得比我好我就佩服她啦。I dare to face anything anyone gives me if I dare to write this, don't worry.
Hansel's buying a ticket from me too :) After band, took bus with Suky, and Francoise and Robin happened to be there too! Bye!

Band practice
♫♪I'm a happy 1st Trombone!!♪♫Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry...After school today, I had lunch then sat with Serene and read book while she did Chinese practice paper, letter writing. Slept a while before band right there, haha, at the canteen. At 2.30pm many people were not there, late. I got them to warm up together before they went for sectionals in the 2 small rooms. Wai Yee conducted first since Dion went toilet and I didn't wanna wait. He took over when he came back. After that, we went to the 2 tiny stuffy rooms. It's so hard to hear anything in there, I don't like that.
Very soon after we reached there, Darryl came. He taught Benjamin warm up, Great Band Workout half step down up, which we just did with Wai Yee (halfway). At first I practice separately from them but soon we did sectionals, yay. Haven't done that for a long time, but at a place where no one can hear no one -.- Darryl took Kevin's trombone, which used to be his before he graduated. Today we played Procession To Peace, Landmark Overture and Symphonium. Well, he took my LO score and went out to play at first, then came back in and teach a bit, clap tempo. After playing the whole PTP he wanted to play LO so we played bar 160, our beautiful melody! :D The notes not easy to read, and tempo quite fast, (he wanted faster -.-) so actually only him and I played mainly. Then Symphonium but not together. I played my solo and teach Benjamin my solo also, just in case. He's forgotten the back part, so I taught him again. Darryl of course wasn't with us the whole time, he wouldn't do that. He frequently goes to slack outside at the corridor. I'm quite satisfied with today's sectionals cos I haven't done it in a long time. Darryl you unfaithful trombonist senior. Your TJC thing, fine you didn't have a choice. But this is way too much, since when did you have to play that? One minute you make me happy and forget about school today, the next, you make me so angry I think back of the lousy day, which you made lousier. You should know better than to agitate me like that, whether I had a lousy day or not, because you very well
know that I can't take it. At 5+ we had a brass combine on PTP. Actually I only wanted lower brass because all the brasses would be very loud and echo, but they joined in so... It was not together, haha. Then we went up and Dion conducted PTP again for the whole band. Then keep things.
I took attendance for the 3rd time ever since I was BM -.- Seeing you with that thing already pisses me off more than enough and you still let me see you with that person. And why is it when I'm trying to show my unhappiness at you, you're smiling?! I thought you'd be unhappy also, but why do you seem completely unaffected? Is that fake or what? Seriously what are you thinking?! Can't you just be more faithful and loyal? And sorry for screaming at you when you counted wrongly, because I was pissed off and it's not my fault. You probably won't even be here to read this... Anyway, you should know why I'm so affected, but you don't seem to.

Trombone's back!
♫♪I'm a happy 2nd Trombone!!♪♫
Yay! On the 27th day my Trombone baby is back! :D When I saw it in the room, I screamed and squealed in delight! "My Trombone is back!!! :D After 27 days it's back!!!" Xue Qi was like "Shhh..." haha, but why should I? I love my baby Trombone! I'm so elated it's finally back to my side now, yeah! Trombone forever! Sec 4s had their weekly test. And DC was late as expected. So during warm ups there was only me and Benjamin. Sectionals shouldn't be put on Friday, there's too much slacking. It should be put back to Saturday like before. Last time when sectionals was on Saturday, sometimes a conductor would come. But now it's on Friday, neither of the conductors ever come, ever since it was changed to Friday. For the whole day there was no combined practice. Even after coming late, that guy still go slack. But, I don't care anymore. And I don't care that I don't care. And surprisingly, Darryl came today! :O And at 3+ too, which is even more surprising. And he came in his TJC half uniform. Cliff came too. I didn't check what time Kevin came. When he came I said his trombone is repaired and he seemed happy too. "Really?" and he picked up speed, haha :) Oh ya, we practised with Jaslyn today, because now her other junior quit too, and her senior's obviously not here. Just for today only, promise. I practised the 2 songs, Procession to Peace and Symphonium (and a few others). I hate it on Friday practices now, for obvious reasons. Ok, sorry, I slacked today. Because I practised with Jaslyn, that's why I said it'll be today only. SORRY... NOT to my section! Why should I apologise to slackers? The sorry is for other people, like Suky... And sorry Trombone.Since my trombone is back, I put it in my cupboard, and gave the bass trombone 171035 to Kevin to keep in his cupboard, where it was before I took it.
这段时间,真的非常谢谢你。Thanks for filling up the empty spaces and making me complete and making me happy :) In my life, I will always love 3 trombones. I'm already feeling sad that I won't be using 171035 now, yet I am happy that I am using 153671. I am missing T T3 that I have not seen or used since so long ago that I don't even remember :( I think I last saw it last year when Darryl's trombone was away before SYF and he used T3.
How are you T3? :') I am Trombonist... Trombone is my life. It's the most meaningful thing in my life, if I don't play trombone, I don't see what else I can do, because there's nothing else I want to do. Trombonist loves Trombone!
Trombones forever...

School and band
♫♪I'm a happy 2nd Trombone!!♪♫Ha, funny thing people still don't know their classmates after KOREF camp. Cui Yi only knew who I am last Thursday -.- See, on Wednesday we passed around a paper to write our email addresses and I saw his, so I added it on MSN with my iPhone. Then when I reached home I sign in on MSN on iPhone, I saw "Jay" online. At first I thought it was the band Jay. Then I sign out. Then later that day I sign in on the computer and saw "Jay" online again. Then I remembered, the band Jay is not even on my MSN! -.- So that is Cui Yi. And he's supposed to be away but he asked me who I am. I said Shi Ying, but he's never heard of it. I said Rebecca then he said 有点影响. But, he still doesn't know who I am. Haiz (I use Shi Ying in class what!)... Then on Thursday I went for recess alone and saw Ivy & Sarah so I sat with them beside Ivy. I didn't talk to them since they're engaged in a conversation. Then suddenly Cui Yi came and sat opposite me, beside Sarah. With his mouth full he asked me "你是昨天.....(don't know what)...." and I looked at him o.o then he laugh and stand up and walk away. Haha! What?? Then I was going to wash my hands and he walk past again (with no food in his mouth) and ask me again. I still only can hear the first 4 words, but I nodded anyway, because I know what he's asking, lol. Funny... :D
Band on Friday was sucky and @#%^&. No conductors came, so we had sectionals until 4+ but there was alumni, the clarinet senior Hansel. He conducted combined from 4+ onwards. We played some scales. Tubas and Trumpets just anyhow blast and never do anything seriously. Then when we were going to play songs, he actually asked what song they wanna play. They played Seagate Overture. WTF. They were all slacking! Finally when practice was going to end then we played Symphonium just once. And the f***ers kept laughing at I don't know what shit when we came to the trombone solo and wasting time. And once Kevin was standing (cos Hansel told him to) and playing the solo half way through and the assholes kept laughing at I don't know what rubbish that's obviously unimportant rubbish that only assholes care about. But Kevin didn't stop playing and I wanted to point middle finger at the f***ing trumpets, but I couldn't so I just point all 5 fingers at them. Damn, I used vulgarities more than usual. But they asked for it so who cares. F them, slackers, assholes, shits, idiots, so old and don't know how to respect people. Wonder if their parents taught them anything. Freaking pissed off, felt like (still do) slapping them and shouting vulgarities in their ugly faces. JUST GET OUT OF BAND!!! NO ONE WANTS SLACKING IDIOTS LIKE THE LOT OF YOU IN BAND! KNOW NOTHING BUT SLACKING AND LAUGHING AT PEOPLE AS IF YOUR PARENTS NEVER TAUGHT YOU MANNERS AND BASIC RESPECT, IT'S NOT EVEN LIKE YOUR PLAYING STANDARD IS ANYWHERE NEAR MY SENIOR. EVEN COMPARED TO THE SEC 1S LAST YEAR, YOUR PLAYING IS WORST THAN SHIT. PEOPLE HEAR YOU PLAY THEY'LL RATHER DIE, IT'S WORSE THAN THE SOUND OF CHICKENS SCREAMING WHEN THEY'RE THREATENED. YOU WATCH OUT! AND YOUR ATTITUDE IS SO SUCKY, OPENLY SHOWING EVERYONE HOW CHEAP YOU ARE. WHAT ARE YOU EVEN WORTH?!
I'm getting more and more pissed off by the band. Grrr...! Mess with me and you'll see what I can do. There's a limit to everything. You cross that line and I will show you what you never thought I was capable of. You need to be taught basic respect and manners. Since no one ever taught you, or you were too retarded to comprehend it, just try being an asshole and I will teach you, I will. So the lot of you better watch out. I am not who you think I am.

Band practice
♫♪I'm a happy 2nd Trombone!!♪♫Band practice today! I joined in marching despite my knee injury, so obviously it wasn't as good as usual. A bit painful. I noticed that Kevin marches very... hard, haha. He looks like he's stamping his feet :D It was around 9am we went upstairs and warm up. Actually, it's not really warm up, it's blending the sounds. No warm up today, but can consider that as warm up. Wah, play semiquavers Bb, A for 2 counts per bar then the other 2 counts hold Bb. Whoo...
At 9.20am we went out for sectionals. Kevin stayed inside and oil his slide. Suky came shortly and stayed for the whole practice, yay! She's very hyper, never seen anything like it... :O She talk half way can suddenly "HAHAHA!" and throw her hands in the air, haha! I see her I also want to laugh :D Add some fun to sectionals :) We practised Symphonium. Kevin mainly play his solo. (Did he even play anything else? I don't remember hearing any other part...) I played my 2nd trombone, first page only. When Suky teaching my juniors I also go listen, heheh, they don't know how to give 1 bar of nothing like " 1 2 3 4" -.- They stunned, haha. Her teaching style different from my seniors and mine eh... Of course, my style is acquired from MY seniors :) She doesn't clap tempo, and she doesn't tell you where to start playing. So you're free to practise what you want, she listens and corrects. Of course my juniors are totally clueless so I have to "Play from beginning, 1 2 3 4!" for them la... I'm also not used to this actually. No one's taught me since around April last year, even if my senior suddenly goes "Play here, 1 2 3 4!" I will also not be clueless, but hers is like, huh??? Not used to it, haha.
Kevin's using the trombone Suky used :O She remembers it by the damage not the number : After a while, we went in for combined practice. Suky sat between Benjamin and the tubas. Kevin could play the high high G during sectionals but now he's tired already so he can't pitch. He's quite unhappy, I can understand the feeling. After all, I've been through it... Poor thing... So I kept on going "Jia you! Jia you!" for him, haha, hoping it at least makes him feel slightly better. Hope it doesn't 反效果 and make him feel worse :s I can tell he's practising very hard already! That Mr Yeo everyday only know how to insult people. Just because my senior is tired and mispitch the HIGH HIGH G, he said if he cannot play, will give it to other people to play, as if he slack and damn lousy. BUT HE IS VERY HARDWORKING OK!!! HE PRACTISE SO HARD STILL GET SCOLDED FOR WHAT?! For secondary school level he is very good already! AND THEN HE IS ALREADY SO UNHAPPY AND HE GO ADD TO IT BY INSULTING HIM AND TELLING HIM TO PRACTISE SOME MORE. OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE, IS HE NOT PRACTISING ENOUGH?! He didn't even see Kevin when he was practising and playing the G la! Still wanna talk like he was born a professional tubists can play solo in high school. -.- -.- -.- Damn pissed off, and damn heart pain for Kevin too :(
GO KEVIN!!!!! Lots of love :)Labels: Band, Feelings/Emotions, Juniors, pissed, Seniors, Trombone

Sick, again
♫♪I'm a happy 2nd Trombone!!♪♫Yo! Today's first lesson was PE. 1R3's teacher was absent so we had PE with them. Just training for NAPFA test. First thing was running. 2R6 run 6 rounds, 1R3 5 rounds. I just realised 2R6 is 1R3 x2 haha! I ran with Wen Ling and during our last round I thought it was the 5th. I dragged her down, quite behind, she's actually better. Yeah, after finished I had stomach pain so I didn't do the 30 push ups they all did. I just sat beside the grass. Seok Kee saw me and told teacher I had stomach pain, so I continued doing nothing. Then I puked beside the grass -.- And teacher told Seok Kee to help me to the canteen or somewhere. But at the shelter I started getting dizzy and all I saw was green. So I sat down and teacher told them to go first. Every time I stand up I can't even see anything. I was supposed to go to the canteen but given the rate I was going, she made me go to the standing tap to wash up then go to General Office. I couldn't walk there, because I couldn't see, so she got some people to help me.
I saw a hand, but don't know whose. I realised it's Qian Hui and Swee Kee. They supported me to the GO. I couldn't see a thing but just continued walking unstably till I reached the bench outside. Teacher told me to sit down and I actually thought I was gonna sit on the floor but then I felt a chair, haha. Thankful that they actually positioned me so I wouldn't miss the bench and sit on the floor or make a fool of myself. Maybe teacher told them I couldn't see. There were some people there, but I don't know who. I only vaguely saw Ms Tan the VP when I sat down. Then I went into the GO and sat there and QH and SK left. Thanks people :) I was sweating like a pig, and I think I was cold and clammy, yucks. Then it was only about 830, half an hour into PE. I bet I spent damn long at the shelter walking 3 steps and stopping and again. I lied down on the chair until one of the staff (don't know her name)came and gave me milo. It's cold in there. And I think I was white, like that time in class where I had cramps. I bet I was attracting a lot of attention to whoever saw me :S Even the OM with big specs Mr Ong was like "Girl you ok?" (Why people still call me girl ah?) Later Ms Tan opened the door and a staff lady was quick to say "She's going back" then she left. Woah, how she know what Ms Tan come for?
Anyway, am thankful to the people who helped, esp my classmates, and Swee Kee again and Rasyidah for helping bring my stuff down. My father came to take me home since I couldn't contact my grandparents. That time was about 9.45am. Stopped hurting and sweating already, but still cold of course. It's like the band room or colder there.
Now to start spoiling people's reputation. Not my classmates la of course, they're so nice :D It's the damned doctor. My father brought me to that doctor near my house and he waited while I went in. She does nothing but bullshit, her English bullshit too. It's worse than my Chinese. Worse than Darryl Kor Kor's Chinese even. (I'm not insulting Kor Kor here, I'm obviously insulting her.) (Speaking of Chinese, wonder how he did for his Chinese Oral today...) I said I had stomach ache then I vomiitted and I felt dizzy when I stood up and can't see anything. Then she retardedly don't believe I can't see, and say what blur, bullshit. I said it's can't see at all, everything's green, but as you know now, she's retarded la. She thinks my English is so lously I don't know what I'm talking is it. Eh, bitch, even a little kid 10 years younger than me knows the difference between cannot see and blur ok. Only you don't know la, because you never even got pass the stage of learning basic English that babies learn when they know how to talk, cos you're that retarded. Oh and did you get negative marks (less than 0)for your English PSLE decades ago? Then she check my stomach and pressed and ask if got pain. No. Then she asked if it's on off pain. No. Oh my gosh, she asked if then it's from just now till then the pain never stop. -.- x 100. Wtf, I have never met anyone whose English is that fking retarded. I was like "No just now for a few minutes la." Then she thinks she's right. -.- x 1000. All of you know what"on off" is yeah? I know. OMG, hilarious, some idiot who cannot even speak conversational English (My conversational MALAY is better ok) sitting in a clinic room getting money for talking the most nonsensical bullshit that doesn't make sense half a bit (not even one bit). I felt like slapping her face you know. Cheat peope's money la, $28 wasting my time, making my blood pressure rise, cos I'm damn pissed off. 2nd idiot quack doctor to piss me off. Oh look, this paragraph is longest. I can be mean and insult with every indecent word I know when I get enraged like that. I don't say it out of course, I curse and swear inside. By the way, that clinic of a bitch is Blk 52something near 526 in Hougang. There's 2 doctors but only one pisses people off, the old woman one who always comes way later than the time stated outside -.- Her name is Cheng Soo Hong, so yeah don't ever go there.
Bye, and again, thanks people :) :) :) Darryl Kor Kor, don't think your Chinese is bad. Chinese is your second language, your English is good :) There are people more than twice your age and less than half as good as you are in anything, ok? There :)

Band! Finally!
♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫Yo! Finally band again! It's been 1 month + since practice stopped for the exams. But unfortunately today no practice, clean up only -.- Cheng Heng didn't come, and I was so looking forward to seeing him today. I miss him! And Darryl too but I'm not expecting him to come back any time soon. Very few Main Band members came, but a lot of Sec 1s came. Haiz... so it was only me and my 2 juniors Ding Cong and Benjamin, the guy who transferred from flute. -.- I don't like any of them, not yet anyway. Probably will take quite a while for me to even talk to them as and when I want to. Hmm... at least I did talk to them, unlike Cheng Heng last year, so shy!!! Why ah? My juniors guys I also never like him, haha!Ok, anyway, weird eh. I thought that today I would be at the bench outside the room (and I was) and when someone unlock the door I'll go in, but then I was with Xue Qi (nothing to do with her) but I didn't go in when I realised it was unlocked. Maybe cos got Sec 1s ba..haha... I still went in quite early, 1+ and it starts at 2.30pm. Rebekah put someone in charge of each section because we don't know who our SL is, and not many were here. So of course I was in charge, and I went "HUH?!" Haha. So I got them to shift things out of our trombone cupboard. I took 2 gold trombones together!! :O Me and Darryl's, one in each hand, woah! Never knew I could do that :D Then they got cloth from Rebekah and I showed them which are our cupboards in the store room. Then I do nothing in the band room, haha! Only 2 cupboards. Yeah, very boring. Then I saw the floor beside the mirror I sit beside very dirty, looks like powder. I think it's dust all swept there (not by us of course). But there's no way to clean it cos I can't find dustpan, only got broom. So I took paper (writing, not tissue! Cos they used it to clean the mirror) and try to clean it, but yucks. And only got rid of a bit. But later Rebekah cleaned it, with a dustpan -.-Then when we put back the stuff, then I did everything -.- Lame la, should have asked them to carry the trombones right? But when I walked past Ms Ong with T1 and T2 she asked people to help me with T3 and the 2 bass trombones, haha. Woah, heavy eh, but guys. Seriously, should've asked them. I told her that those 2 haven't repaired. (we put it outside the store room at the side of the band room before exams but it's not repaired yet -.-" I said we usually put outside then she asked me to put inside there but not the cupboard. (How would anyone know then that they're for repair?) So I did that and after that, we gathered. Mdm Yanti introduced the new committee for band. Yucks! I don't like the new committee. It's sucky. And I'm annoyed by the fact that neither me nor dear Cheng Heng is in it. Look down on quiet people ah huh?! Think we quiet then can't lead ah? Cheng Heng's not quiet. I think I'm more irritated by him not being in it than me not being in it. Not irritated at him of course. How can they not put him in?! Are they blind? He's such a good senior + good person la! Then we went home. Rebekah said we could stay to practice after we finish cleaning. Then I didn't even get to see my trombone, let alone play it la. Practice resumes next Tuesday. Wtf. And she announced in the morning assembly a few days ago that "Practice resumes this Friday". Wtf, today got practice meh?Labels: Band, Feelings/Emotions, Juniors, pissed, Seniors, Trombone

Band practice
♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫Band today! I went up to the band room but no one's there, and the lights are off, but I pulled the door handle anyway. And surprisingly it's open! But I didn't go in, I sat outside and did CL homework! Xuan Lin came up. She went in then out again. Cliff and Darryl came. Cliff said something about the door, don't know if he asked or said it's open. I think he asked. I said it's open, then Dar thought it's locked and went in through the music room, say what very easy go in by there, haha. Cliff was like saying he crazy one, the door open then wanna go in by there, lol! There were Guzheng people inside I think :O Xue Qi came, soon after, 3 of us went in. The spoilt instruments are still here! Yihui said they'll be sent on Monday which was ytd! Then I later heard that 'she took the clarinets'. Probably Ms Deepa, cos I've seen her dealing with instr repair before. The door to the store room was stuck. I kicked it and it opened! :D I set up my trombone. I saw a countdown to SYF and it was 7 days so I changed it to 6, haha. Then, since the chairs were stacked up, I help to arrange, mostly unstack only. Wth, people take the chair for their own section one, then some people just take it without asking while they're still holding onto the chair. Even worse, another section, the chair already put at their section alr then some people just take from there, wtf la. Cannot go get it themselves meh? Handicapped people also can they cannot means what? -.- Anyway, after that take stand and file. I unlocked the back door to go out and wash mouthpiece then I finish alr then Jas go. I lock her out and make her go by the other door. While she walk there, I unlock the back door, and when she came in I open it, haha!Oiled my slide! :D Cliff sent us out for sectionals, but I stayed in the room first because CH go refill water, Darryl wash mouthpiece I think (he was holding it) He tuned tubas, then ask me where's the rest. I say they go toilet. Then he tuned me, a bit sharp then I pull out tuning slide then ok! :D When they came back after a few minutes, he tuned them. Yay, I'm still pitch perfect :D Then we went sectionals outside. The left side, on the other side of the corner alr, means no one can see us, which isn't very good. CH's file pockets tore :( If he hasn't asked any Quarter Mistress then I'll try getting some pocket from them. We all practised on our own. You know what Dar say? He said nothing much to focus on so just play again and again. He makes so many mistakes in each song that could cause us many points! Long he play short, short he play long. Accent he play normal, his dynamics almost no difference. I was playing really really soft (softer than I'm supposed to be) because earlier on before tuning, I was playing the start of Overture No. 1. I was trying to play softer, working on it. I played quite loud, then I was gonna play softer, but before I could even correct it by playing softer, he tell me to play softer -.- Hello, he also play that loud when it's not his melody. After a while, he went to the side and can see the corridor where the rest are. He tell CH to go and see. I was thinking "Don't tell me they all go in alr" then CH said something like that, lol. He go see, really, they all gone. So we walked back. CH say they 'country-cist' lol. I heard ppl make up the word 'nationalist' but not 'country-cist' haha! Then he said they're 'Darrylcist' lol?! And Dar said that to CH then say they are 'trombonecist' or something like that. -.- CH said "Don't tell me Mr Yeo here alr" but I thought he would if not they wouldn't go back. Dar tell me go by back door, so I did. I look through the 'window' on the front door when I past. Mr Yeo there alr, then I saw Ms Leong behind us! :O Suddenly appear! She asked where we're going. I said by the back door. Mr Yeo was tuning them. When it came to trombone, I was still pitch perfect! :D Why so perfect today? :DI think we did Overture No. 1 first, then A Monmouth Overture until 6+ then Overture No. 1 again. He went slow for Overture No. 1 so for the 4 semiquavers I could tongue every note clearly, but oops, it's supposed to be slur so soft tonguing. A while later, A Monmouth Overture. 1st time quite fast, but not too fast for us. After that not so fast alr. Lol, CH really quite... funny eh. Dar rub his eye then CH ask 'Why you cry?' lol, I know it's just a joke la. I think he said ytd he open his case then smth flew into his eye :O CH start talkin nonsense after that, hahaha! They v intimate, I dare not see, haha. He say what 'you open big big I see' cos he wanna see what happen to his eye. Ew, haha. He say some lame things la, like what, 'Too small, open bigger... later open too big the whole thing drop out' and 'Take out half (of the object) then the other half stuck inside' and other stuff I forgot. Lol. Mr Yeo was singing one part, forgot which part but not our part, he was doing some hand action & grinning. Then CH say "Look like 'chee koh peh' " I found this damn funny! It was alr 6+ but Mr Yeo went back to Overture No. 1. I think about 6.30pm then he stop. I think we should put bags outside the room cos there's damn many bags blocking me today. No space to keep instrument even. CH now puts his bag outside. And again, nice bag :) Hand in SYF consent form. Saturday prac might be extended till mid afternn or evening.

NAS 15-hour Challenge
♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫
15-hour challenge yesterday, in celebration of NAS Founder's Day. 730am to 10.30pm. All the way till 11.30am (lower sec lunch) I was making squares out of the magazines I brought. And I didn't fold one dragon. Some rude people just came and took so much of my paper, WTF, can't they tear it themselves idiots. During lunch time I bought one heart key chain, $1.50. I think they made it themselves. Some alumni came back to help a girl who graduated last year to raise money for an operation. After lunch at 12.30pm we went to the computer lab. I saw Cheng Heng, then outside the lab I saw him again. His class was before our class, but I don't know why he's not inside. We're supposed to answer as many questions correctly and every correct answer brings 10 grains of rice which will be donated to charity. I did mostly English Grammar and Multiplication Table questions. I managed to bring 5150 grains of rice at the end of 1h. Our target was 20 000 because that amounts feeds one for a day...
At 1.30pm we went back to class. I think I made more squares before starting to fold the dragons. Looks nothing like dragons. I took a long time to learn it and it's ugly. At 5.30pm we went for dinner, no veg this time -.- What kind of school doesn't give students veg? After that we went back to class and continued. Later, 2R6 & 2R5 went to the new library. We took a video that will be shown to the guest on Monday to launch the new library. We just clap and scream when they record. It's actually supposed to be live on Monday evening but Mr Lim (principal) decided to do it then so we won't have to stay back. Then went back to class. They stopped folding when they reached 1000. Why the heck did they? -.- Then later there's an announcement that said we have only (how many) dragons and require (how many) more, then they start rushing -.- They said last time that an officer from The S'pore Book of Records will come at 7.30pm to count, then at 8pm they announce that we have until 8.30pm?! -.- After we're done folding, we strung 100 dragons on a string. We had 1200+ by then I think.
Then at 9+ we went to the hall. 2 officers were there already. Last minute still ask us to fold more dragons, haha. Finally the teachers said we have enough already. I think there were extras since some were still folding when they ask us to stop. But they said we got 15 000. By the entire Sec 2 level, 2R1, 2R2, 2R3, 2R4, 2R5, 2R6, 2R7, 2C1, 2C2 & 2I1. Sec 3R1, 3R2, 3R3, 3R6, 3R7 and 3I1 I think made 13 500 masu boxes! :D They had a target of 15000 too but less people than Sec 2s, anyway, it's a record :D Don't know if there ever was but I know there never was for dragons :D 4R1 made 1685 friendship bands that will be distributed to all students and staff. 3R4 made the school logo with paper stars. Very nice, very accurate! One class made "RIGHTEOUSNESS AND COURTESY" out of paper hearts in yellow & blue. A sec 1 class made a quilt. Overall, yesterday was cool.
Before dismissal Liang Rong made an announcement, no practice today but have on Saturday. Then he suddenly "Wait! Wait!" and say he wanna do a cheer for NAS. He shout into the microphone 3 cheers, haha. So loud that Ms Tan (VP) covered her ears. The last one's loudest, haha. My Band Major la, love to do 3 cheers :D We're dismissed early, at 10+ before 10.30pm. They said the 15h challenge t-shirt will be given on Monday together with something special. The shirt's very nice :) When I was going to the canteen (my mom waiting) I saw Cai Yan at the table outside the bookshop. At first I thought it looked like her but don't look like her, but she look at me and waved. She put braces! Haha, and wear all black. I can't believe I almost couldn't recognise my own senior -.- At the traffic light, I saw Darryl. ...*sighs* totally ignore la. Bye.Labels: Break, Events/Occassions, pissed, Seniors

Band practice, SYF Rehearsal & Founder's Day Rehearsal
♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫Yesterday was SYF Rehearsal! Share slot with Dunearn Military Band again, so we have 1 hour there. But before going to SCH, we had practice as usual. We reported to school at 8.30am and bring band uniform and shoes. I used Darryl's previous mouthpiece, since he chcnged trombone and not using that mouthpiece anymore. His mouthpiece coating's still there, my coating came off, when I got it it was already like that. I forgot whether it's Monday or Tuesday I changed. Darryl is sometimes very inappropriate-drinking coffee in the band room -.- Come to think of it, I think it's quite funny. Don't know why, maybe because everyone's busy doing stuff, like setting up things then he sit there sipping coffee, very funny la. Don't know if he rinsed his mouth, I hope so! Oh my gosh, Darryl and Cheng Heng both know how to play one part of Pecos Pueblo, Dunearn's choice piece! When did they learn it?? I come for every practice but I've never heard them play it, so cool right? My seniors la, haha. Anyway warm ups, then sectionals. Darryl asked Kevin if he has anything sharp that he doesn't want. He don't have. Then he ask me if I have any hairpin that I don't want. I was like NO! He wants to clear the water key -.- Haha, is it even possible? It started raining half way. We had sectionals from 9-10am. I asked Darryl if March 'Blue Sky' can play an octave lower, since trumpets are playing too, he say if I want. And I want. Because the notes so high, later the next part trombone-only (I think) part I cannot play. We went through all 3 songs. Sometimes I wish I wasn't junior, weird right? Of course I prefer to be junior. But if I was senior I can tell them to practise properly. Half way, Cheng Heng suddenly tell me "Rebecca jie guo, wo yao tiao jin qu (band room)" cos we just outside. He jump in so easily eh. He play guitar? Anyway, at 10am we combined. Cliff & Brayton conduct, take turns. When we play MBS it sounded so horrible la. Just cos Cliff tell tubas to play louder cos the woodwinds very loud, then they start blasting and everyone start blasting. Seriously, if it was SYF we get COP (Certificate Of Participation). If it was Founder's Day (which is supposed to be), the guest all go deaf -.- At 11am + I think, we got break. Go McDonald's eat then back to school to change. My shoes so loose, stuff socks still so loose. Then we go back and started tuning. But then girls go toilet to put ribbon on the hair, then I miss my tuning. I really stuff till v tight then shoes won't come out, but painful! I'm the last to get ribbon, and most troublesome too. My hair band is furry one, then Shu Yan lent me hers and help me tie and put ribbon. Thanks :) By the time I went back, my seniors tune alr, and I missed tuning -.-At SCH, we were first this time, last time was Dunearn first. Actually we sat one seat spacing, then later Mr Yeo asked 'Darryl & Rebecca sit towards Cheng Heng' so now there's no one seat in between. There was one of his friends (don't know who) giving comments to help him decide where the sections sit to have a better sound. He said something (couldn't really hear) ".....if not the trombones will be like blablabla (the sound)." Nothing much, after an hour, we left. That's it.Today, Founder's Day Rehearsal. Report to the hall first at 8.30am. Dar earlier than me. I wore the band uniform here, but school shoes, then I changed my shoes in the hall. We were briefed then we went upstairs. We brought our stands and files downstairs (so that when it's our turn to perform we just come in without them) then back up to practise and wait for our turn. We played A Monmouth Overture and March 'Blue Sky'. I think Dar forgot some parts in MBS, for CH I not sure. I remember everything, haha! Then we went downstairs and rehearsed. I think I'm cool because I hold my trombone up 90 degrees (or more)! :D Why ah, Dar, your positiong different from mine at the melody? Melody all got the same notes eh. After that while CO (the last item) was still performing, we went back into the hall behind to wait for debrief or something. They said we need a 2nd rehearsal, this time it'll be a fast one because the planning isn't very good. So we had break until 1.15pm from ...I forgot, I think about 12.40pm. I went to the Kopitiam at Tampines Mart then after lunch, went back to the hall the take my instrument. And then went upstairs to the band room. The store room door couldn't open, haha. Cheng Heng managed to open it, I go keep my wallet and hp. Darryl went off :( They said we should end about 2. But then we wait until 3.45pm or later then we got called down. And there's no one there, all waiting. No wonder so long, after one group perform it's not immediately the next group. Don't know waiting for what. Founder's Day itself will be one after another not like that! In between so much time -.- Then we just play MBS from part I (last part) then finish. And they ask us to take off the plastic from the chairs -.- CH and I was so pissed. And he started scolding (not me of course). Then finally we went back and dismissed. I should have left while waiting so long. Bye.Labels: Band, Break, Concerts/Performances, Events/Occassions, pissed, Rain, Seniors, Trombone

Band practice
♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫Do you still think the above sentence is true? Band practice today at 1.30pm. Sec 1s practice earlier at 8am, none of my section (including me) came. Only one junior came, new one. So now I have 3 juniors. On Saturday I thought I heard Cliff telling Ms Leong there's a new one in trombone and I thought I heard wrongly. You know who the heck he is?! Ding Cong from my class!! WTF! When Sandy told me Ding Cong is in my section I was like ??? I thought she's linking the junior to him, maybe he's black or something. Or maybe his name is Ding Cong. She never say properly htf would I know. Took her o long to say 'Ding Cong join band and he's in your section'. WTF my junior is my classmate. That's not the ridiculous part although it's ridiculous. The ridiculous part is he's FREAKING SHORT! Why is Ms Leong putting all these 3 unlikely people here?! First, George (the one Darryl dislikes) managed to play an F but sound is not nice. 2nd one, short. 3rd one short. -.-''' You think I hate Ding Cong -.- You asked me why I hate him. I said short, but I wasn't answering your question. Then you said so I shorter than you then you hate me ah? I shorter than (someone) then (someone) hate me ah? I said ya, but again I wasn't answering your question. You asked what makes me so sure he hates me -.- (Someone) does not hate me ok, what is your problem?! Then I said his hands are short which is true. And you chose not to believe me. You ask Larry (same class also) and he said very short. And you believed. So you'd rather not believe one of your own? You're the one who's always lying, it should be the other way round. I never lie, and you hate me so much you wouldn't believe on anything I say is it? Fine, if you hate me it's your problem not mine. You actually used hating me as an example? Then don't blame me, blame yourself because it's your fault. You started it. Don't blame me. If I don't believe you, it's your problem.Band practice today was quite boring. All the way till 3pm my section was doing nothing much. Oh ya, we didn't do warm up today. We're about to start when Mr Yeo came and wanted us to play Monmouth when he knows we haven't warmed up, haha. After that Overture No. 1. Me & Cheng Heng decided on when to lift up and put down instruments but he didn't keep to it today. And Darryl doesn't even know. I had no (or little) bad luck on Friday the 13th, and I have bad luck today. I don't think it's just luck by the way. Or maybe it is, just my luck to have this nightmare which I can never wake up from and sigh and say "It was just a dream" because it's not. I can only hope strongly that things will change for the better. Playing trombone with an ulcer in my mouth and a blister on my lip (caused my mouthpiece) is so not easy. Before we went on to Overture No. 1 there was a 5min break. After practice, LR was funny. Cliff ask LR about tomorrow (going to SCH after practice for SYF rehearsal) He asked "When do you wanna change (to band uniform)?" LR"What has it got to do with the band when I want to change? You all wanna see me change?" Haha! Then he went to the front and talk. He told us the arrangement, "practice until ... then you all go and change, wear your stockings (doing some funny action). The guys..." Chen Hua interrupts "The guys' stocking what colour?" Haha! Cliff said "You wear stockings la!" Haha! After that we dismissed, past 4pm already. Bye.Labels: Band, Break, Juniors, pissed, Seniors, Trombone

Band practice
♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫Band practice on Tuesday and Sec 1s' practice on Wednesday (yesterday). Wednesday none of them came, but valid reason. Mr Tall was rehearsing for a debate on Wednesday. Chinese debate of course. And the act cute baby not in school -.- So I was so emo and lonely. Actually I sat at my place, then half way during warm up, I go sit at Darryl's place. Then I go take bowl then when I come back I sat at CH's place accidentally haha! Then in the end I went back to my place. And I also can't see Mr Yeo because of Brayton's head -.- Then the trombone solo at part I of Overture No. 1, I went too fast. Starting of Overture No.1 where I have the crescendo, Mr Yeo asked me not to play so loud cos it's sounds a bit wild. :O What does that mean??? After Overture No. 1, A Monmouth Overture. There was a short break but I forgot when. Nothing much... no sectionals... and since I'm the only one, nothing much happened. Oh yes, we were dismissed earlier than usual, at slightly past 6pm. The band blog says practice ends at 6.30pm. Since when? It's always been 6 -.- Shucks, if 6.30pm then I'll reach home so late!Wednesday practice, Darryl 'pangseh' me -.- even though he came. Oh yes, he actually said hi to me??? I really don't like his attitude, and he won't read this though he has access. The junior that he don't like didn't come, but the transfer one came. Very short eh! Why Ms Leong go put all those very unlikely ones in my section?! 1 sound not nice, 1 too short. Like what Ms Leong said, he is blur, but not 'a bit', it's a lot -.- In the end I did practise a bit. I'm starting to dislike you a bit by the way. Oh, and playing other instruments is against the Band Rules! Your embouchure will change! You can be quite irritating and you're totally unfathomable! It rained. Bye!Labels: Band, Break, Juniors, pissed, Rain, Seniors, Trombone

Performance for Sec 1 Orientation
♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫7 January 2009 Wednesday
Yesterday I asked Darryl (by sms) what time today's Sec 1 Orientation is. He said 'They nvr say." So I asked Cheng Heng, he told me it's 230 so I thanked him :) Lessons ended at 1.30pm. I went to the canteen with Xue Qi for lunch. Met Mavis by chance and she said Rebekah said it's immediately after lesson but I believed Cheng Heng, so I ate first. Jaslyn joined us later. We reached the room at 2+, very few were there. I heard the Sec 3s & 4s have lesson until 2.30pm. Today we face the door so that there's space in front of us for the Sec 1s. So cramp!! My section no space la! Last row got 3 trombonists, 4 tubas and I think 5 trumpets -.- What's more trombone right to the left beside the whiteboard.
Ms Leong was here, Mr Yeo wasn't. She asked if we're comfortable with Kokomo, then someone said no. Then she said if no then we won't play it -.- Tsk, who the heck was that?! Before Cheng Heng and Darryl came, one batch of Sec 1s (don't know how many classes) came and Rebekah introduced every section. Some people play a note, some just show the instrument. I just stood up, held the trombone high, then sat down again without a word, haha. Someone laughed and said one only. What one only, got short term memory is it? The rest not here yet cannot ah? Even if only got one so what? Got problem is it? Oboe also only got one what, nothing wrong with that right? We played Sesame Street. Serene hadn't come yet so there's no one blocking me and the Sec 1s were standing so they can see me. We played Sesame Street only, no Kokomo because of that selfish idiot. When I played my melody at 'Peanut Butter' those near me looked at me! Because that part I played louder :D I played a few wrong notes, but the first time was the most perfect one. Then Darryl and Cheng Heng came. Very cramp.
Today I'm not so lonely, yay! :D Darryl talk to me a lot, and Cheng Heng a bit also, better than yesterday. Must talk to Cheng Heng more also, as much as Darryl, although it's not as much as when they argue. Eh? Now they're not arguing anymore! I think we played 7 times altogether, because I remember taking turns to introduce 7 times. I remember the second time we introduced trombone, Darryl say want to do 'this one' together. It's the trail. It's the one where we pull the slide without tonguing. Then when he finished, he sat down and just started without counting. Then somehow Cheng Heng managed to play together but I didn't. I was late, so it's not together. Then later I say he never count. Cheng Heng said "Ya lor you never count! You just start then we (looks surprised and hold up the trombone)" Haha, it's not that exaggerated. Third time he sat down after talking then Rebekah move on to percussion -.- Then someone told her then she "Wait wait, trombone wants to play something!"
I think it's around this time one batch very noisy. Then Darryl got so irritated he said "Are we here to perform or to watch them talk?" Ya it's irritating and probably tiring for Rebekah. 4th time Cheng Heng introduced. He held up the trombone just like me, high up :D He said the trombone is special because it uses a slide and you must have long hands to play it, haha. Then 5th time he left out the long hands then Rebekah said it. 6th time it's me I said "This is the trombone. It's unique because it has a slide so you have to have long hands to play it" Then I trail down and up, still standing. Don't know why Darryl always sit down first then trail.
Oh ya, we talked about Chinese name, our siblings, and... other things. Then I ask how to write Darryl's Chinese name, he said he don't want to show me -.- But in the end, me & CH figured it out, haha. And we talked about Cai Yan, her hyper behaviour. Then about CL teacher, Mr Liu -.- He' still teaching me, and Darryl's class HMT. I forgot how that got into topic. I told Darryl he teaches his class HMT also. Then he said he doesn't take higher mother tongue. I said I know, obviously. Then CH "Obviously la!" He's in 3R3 :) Oh ya, our section play CO songs. Darryl trying to play Matsuri then I asked if he can play Ju Hua Tai.
He talk half way got saliva on my hand. "You spit on me!" CH "Bad senior!" then later CH talk got saliva on Darryl. "You spit on me!" Hahaha! Yesterday also Mr Yeo asked the whole band to play the beginning of Kokomo (our melody). CH "Yes! Beginning! Beginning!..." Then Darryl wipe his face. "Sorry sorry!" Haha! Back to today. I asked why his bell always drip water. He said got meh? I said look at your pants. Then got a drop of water there, "Eh?... Condensation, condensation." HAHA! There was some dust or small insect drifting in front of Darryl. Then Darryl point at it while it drifted. "Aiya, it's just a.... don't know what thing only!" "Spider..." -.- ? Oh ya, me & Darryl were talking about the bowl spilling that time then I said I want to take the bowl and splash it in his (the one who spilled it) face. Then he said so evil then I said his senior bully me eh! Then I told him about telling her he spilled it. Then he asked "Then she said it's ours right?" I said "No, she just say then you clean la" Then Darryl say it's her own junior spill then she don't want to clean... He seemed quite irritated, he was from their section before so I didn't expect him to be so irritated... But anyway, that means he cares right? :)
CH kept laughing at me today. He say I watch Sesame Street. Then also once I asked Darryl if he's cold, he said no. I was so cold! Then later I said I'm shaking already. Then CH I think twice saw me shaking and said "Shaking... hahaha..." Then the third time I look up and saw him looking at me then he turn away and never laugh, haha! Then Ms Ong came with the CD of the Genting competition. We watched only ours and I saw trombone. Darryl emptying saliva during the long rests and the camera showed him, haha! I remember that part when we were playing. Then they were like "Darryl emptying saliva!" "Anything wrong with that?! Anything wrong with that?!" Just after the video ended, another batch came. Just nice, haha. Darryl introduced. Finished at almost 7! Bye bye.

Band practice
♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫6 January 2009 Tuesday
I was late today. I walked into the school after 7.45am then the guy stopped me -.- I turned around and saw Cheng Heng, haha! His long pants so long! The guy told us to stand 5 in a row, I & CH first row (but not beside each other), which means we're one of the earliest latecomers. Yesterday I also came after 7.45, and it was Mr Vincent Lee there. But he just stood at the staircase and didn't stop the group of people what. Isn't he a discipline master or something? I don't even know who that guy is, if he's even a teacher. He doesn't even look like one. Went to class with my mood affected for the whole Maths period. Later Mdm Jamilah came and asked for some people. They were late so their attendance wasn't marked. But she didn't ask for me, so maybe she already marked my attendance :O Band practice today. Assembly ended at 2pm so I went to eat lunch then do a bit of homework for a few minutes then went to the room. The store room so cramp. Tuba cases blocking the cupboards. I set up my trombone and took Total Training, not the file photocopied one, the pages put together with a blue transparency in front one. Darryl and Cheng Heng came :) Rebekah took attendance. She said she'll call the section then we tell her who's present in the section. But when she said this, Darryl was in the store room. So when she called "Trombone", Darryl just stared at her without saying anything, haha. That time Cheng Heng came already but in the store room. Don't know whether she marked him or not. But in the end his attendance should be marked la. Then we did warm ups. Germaine conducted?!?! The way she said "instruments up" is like... so different, first day at band also will know she doesn't usually do it. Never do Chromatic Low Tones, only Total Training. During Total Training, Mr Yeo came. After that, we played Kokomo I think. Anyway there's a part we the trombones have melody, together with eupho and Mr Yeo asked us to go out and practise for 5min. Before that he also sent some sections to go out for 5min. Taufiq wanted us to practise together, haiy...'sian'. I'm tired of practising with them. Then we went back in after more than 5min. Mr Yeo asked both sections to play that part then he counted 1 2 3 4. We're supposed to come in on the n after 4 but nobody did, and only Darryl came in on 1 after the 4. He came in only a quaver, then Mr Yeo went "aiyo" haha. There's once Cheng Heng raised his hand but Mr Yeo didn't see, busy singing the trumpet part while looking at his conductor score. In the end I found he wanted to get slide oil. So he did in the end. Mr Yeo was talking about Sec 1s. He said those who just finished Sec 1 would know how it's like when we just joined junior band. Then he started 'suan-ing' (insulting) people, starting with Larry. He play sound like cow. Then Andrew, Xue Qi and Xuan Lin. Then he look at me and say what another cow. See the seniors play then moo moo moo (while changing position but he sang the same note) eh where to put the hand ah? What crap, since when I don't know my positions. And how to have the same note when playing different positions, exaggerate also at least have to make sense right? Darryl still can laugh. Not sure if Cheng Heng did, probably did la. He suan them I not only never laugh, I also very annoyed. Then he suan me wrongly and they can laugh -.- Not funny la. I tried to smile to make it seem like I found it funny too, but just couldn't. Today I'm so lonely, nobody talk to me. Only near the end of practice then Darryl talk a bit. I was emptying saliva before we started on Sesame Street where we have to share score then he ask if I can see, only. When practice gonna end then he suddenly asked me "How long is your hand ah?" I simply shrugged then he said "Stretch out" so I did and he stretch out his hand beside mine. Then he said "Ok la, quite long. Ok I'm short." Haha! Then Cheng Heng said "Wait, again again." So again. Then he look at the shoulders to see whether the starting point is the same then Darryl said "Parallax error la" Haha, Darryl's hand longer than mine of course. We kept our things first then went out again. That Andrew, shoes too big or got problem walking, go kick my section's saliva bowl then say he never kick. Then I tell Yihui her junior spilled it she say "Then you clean la" What crap, assholes. He spill then I clean for what?! Asshole. When I came out after keeping my things the mess was still there. So I cleaned it la -.- Then James or who say Darryl irresponsible senior. He say Andrew should be the one cleaning it, then I turned around and said "He don't want to clean what!" Damn irritated. Darryl actually asked me to leave the tissue there, but since there was a dustbin there I threw it away. The saliva soaked through the tissue and I touched it, eeeee. Then I said "It's our own saliva right?" It's our saliva so never mind. Then after that went home.
