Another week passes by...where shud I start? O yeah. Last friday. Sound check at SCH. Went there, waited, Ngee Ann came. Went into the concert hall. Started the soundcheck. Damn we sounded so much better than at Yuying. Soundcheck over, went back to school. Practice my audition pieces. Btw they are Andante from Concerto for Double Bass by Antonio Capuzzi and No.29 from Vladislav Blazhevich 70 studies for BB flat Tuba Vol 1. After that, cross country. X country over, went home, day over. Saturday, band prac in the morning, had warm-ups at the parade square, was tiring man...Then we took time off our SYF pieces and played a song from a Jap anime..was so cool..such a nice melody. Ok after that went to eat with Isaac n co., after that went home..day over. Sunday..enjoyed a relaxing day..nothing much to say. Monday, SS test..got it back today actually, got 8/12..not that spectacular. Tuesday, PE..did long jump..was so sandy..scored straight 8s. Maths test after school..was quite easy I shud say. Physics SPA...was on turning effects of forces..shan't elaborate more coz the teachers told us not to. Wednesday...Bio SPA prac, was on diffusion and osmosis through a dialysis tubing. Argh, screwed up the first part..didn't use the paper clip!! After that..was quite ok. Then the final Chem SPA prac..I got my readings..then suddenly Mdm Leow said that everyone's reading is like 'high'. Her reading was around 18.5..almost everyone's readings were like 19 and above..wonder what she did that we didn't...haiz was chaotic..ppl did like 5, 6, 7 even 8 titrations...really crazy. Sectionals after that..went normally. Today, got back geography test, got 13/20, again not very high, B3. Then English tutorial, got a nice magazine from Ms Khoo, called Present Perfect..quite a nice magazine..did compre..then went for band. Did very short warm-ups. The band has a tendency to slow down at a certain point for Overture, kept repeating it. I got quite fustrated actually. In the end I played like I don't want anyone to hear me..haiz..I mean I played damn soft..not really a practice to that I enjoyed. Well thats all for the review of the past week..hopefully there will be another next week..cya then!! :]

Believe you can, work real hard and the results usually will come your way

Half day of school today. Went to Singapore Poly for the Polymer course, it was really fun coz we get to see how certain plastic wrappers, objects like clothes hangers and bottles are made and we also get to make a nylon fiber..really cool. But this at the expense of missing a band prac..haiz. Anyways, went to Accent after the workshop. Tried my first trombone..yay!!! Haha ok I know I sound wierd but I'm just so happy. I tried a Conn 62H bass trombone and it sounded very good. It was so cool!! First time playing a double trigger bass!! haha..after that I asked the pricing of some other trombones and bought a few stuff. Homed after that. Tmr going to Singapore Conference Hall for sound check so NO LESSONS...yes ah. haha

Went to Yuying for exchange today. 7 bands were there altogether, many ya. Played our set and choice pieces..still have a lot to work on. So tired.... Wah next week got X-country...sian..even more tired...haiz..well I better get some rest then..cya all peeps! :]

Firstly, Happy Chinese New Year in advance everybody! Yes, hope you get lots of hong baos and I wish everyone good health and prosperity for the new year. Tmr only 2 periods of lessons, but MT, haiz…. After that gonna have the Chinese New Year concert, after that probably play soccer. Got my first hong bao today from Mr Yeo (thanks again!). He also said that he will be confident DMB will get at least a ______ for SYF. Haha leave you guys to guess. So once again happy chinese new year in advance everyone! :)

Another week passes by…I still can’t get out of my old self..still have unfinished assignments blah blah blah…expecting a few teachers to scold me…haiz…gotta do something about it..Promotion day was alright..lost my voice for a while after the Samba..played our pieces over and over and over again..became a bit boring after the 3rd time or so…total we had 45 registrations..I know this is lower than some CCAs but the number of ex-band members has increased significantly..so thats gd…provided they join us. 2 ex trombonists!!! 1 came yesterday..can play..can read notes..so nt bad..the other was busy..sounded talented..I hope not arrogant. Was invited last minute to play with Zhenghua this morning..hesitated to go…but at least we can keep in touch..first day of SYF is 79 days away..I hope the balloting result will not be on that day..but still we gotta work really hard to win gold DMB!!
