First lesson today was English...did some journal on newspaper articles...then was PE, played badminton...supposed to play softball but swapped with badminton instead...then chinese...nothing much to elaborate on...then after recess was bio, learnt more about the human heart and how it works...then it was maths, did a few questions on properties of circles and last lesson was CME, also nothing much to elaborate on.

Then band prac, played the NDP pieces and I learnt some conducting techniques from Mr Yeo, made some mistakes...a bit malu...but was a gd lesson on conducting. After that we practiced March Blue Sky...did it much slower but at least we managed to run through...Sec 1s...u guys are improving..pls continue like this and u will be playing as good as the seniors or even better some day... :)

Went for the open division finals yesterday...was very impressed with the bands that performed...ACS(I) was the most wierd one, they enter the stage and they dropped some percussion instruments, they left the stage they also dropped some percussion instruments. After the competition, Regent performed Navigations and the Philharmonic Youth Winds performed Symphonic Overture. Then the awards ceremony...Regent did not claim their prize of a trophy and S$2000 becoz I dunno why....Philharmonic Youth winds won S$2000 and trophy...then the Open Division finals results: Assumption College Lampang (Thailand) 4th, Neowinds (HK) 3rd, ACS(I) 2nd, winning S$4000 and a trophy and Maris Stella Alumni 1st, winning S$10000 and a trophy...the whole thing ended abt almost 11...that wraps up my saturday
