Yesterday had a band performance at the Nan An Hui Guan. It's known as Lam Ann Association in English. Yup. And it's located near the UE Square, at Mohammad Sultan Road. There are quite a number of pubs and bars around the place and the Lam Ann Association just seems so out of place there. And the decorations over there certainly match with our band uniform-- red and white.
It looked rather 'chi na' compared to the other buildings around it. But oh well, it's Nan An Hui Guan yea. i couldn't wear the old band skirt for the final time cos there isn't enough. Mr Wong wanted all the recruits to join in too. Hence, we do not have enough band skirts and Li Hui then told us that the girls in the last row, which consists of the tuba, euphonium and my section, have to wear our own school skirt for the performance and we have to fold it to the length of the band skirt.
The performance was not rly fantastic. It was rather messy for me cos at first we didn't know what song mr wong will choose to play then we had to keep on changing places whenever we play a song. And sometimes, we couldn't even find the score and that makes me even more nervous. What if Mr Wong raised his baton up and I'm not ready yet. It did happen in the beginning. Cos, we had to play Riflessi, then after that, halfway through the song, we have to change to the Nan An Hui Guan song. There was not enough time for us to change places at all and i think we were quite frantic, comtemplating of what we should do. Should we change place or not... things like that. Mr Wong looked kinda of angry that we were not ready yet. In the end, we didn't change places at all, we just playd whatever parts of the score we had for the rest of the songs. We hardly ever change places after that except when we thnk that we have plenty of time to change.
Halfway through the performance, I started to feel a bit of giddy cos I didn't take any breakfast in the morning. Plus, I have to play so many songs. I was a bit tired and Mr Wong also couldn't hear us at times. Sigh. But of course, I hang on till the end. After the performance, we were treated to some food. I ate quite a bit cos I was rather hungry. But it was not that much too cos we do not have enough time. We went back to school and on the way back, I joked around with my section, talking about all sorts of hilarious things.
We went back and pumped 50 for being late for fall in in the morning. We are supposed to do 50 so now we owe 22 and we have to do it on Wednesday. Oh yeah ! I for got to mention sth. My section almost brought one EMPTY trombone case for the performance !! Jessica's trombone was used by the alumni and this particular person took out his/her mouthpiece and just left the instrument unkept, placed in the band room. We were like rushing a lot in the morning and obviously we will think that our instrument is in the case since we kept it before we left school the day before. And yet, the alumni is so bad, left without keeping the instrument. Luckily, the QM check and that's how we found out that we were short of one trombone.
If I'm not wrong, I think that person must be Lim Ee Loong lo. Even Gena also agreed with me. Cos I think jessica's trombone was used by him last time so maybe when he come back for alumni band, he will also use it. So dumb dumb. bleahs.
Anyway, I was so tired after the performance. I slept a lot in the car. When I went back home, I slept in the car. When I left the house for my Porpor's place, I also fell asleep in the car. After leaving my Porpor's place for home sweet home, I slept once again in my Dad's car. And finally when i came back home, I fell asleep in my bed till the next day, which is today !

holidays are not exactly holidays for me at all.
sighs.
I'm gng back to school practically everyday. Today is not an exception. I went back today to help out the recruits but meixin didn't tell me that she will not be coming in the morning due to an appointment with the doctor !! ahh !! I woke up early in the morning for nothing !!
But not exactly though, cos i went to do individuals, which turn out to be quite fruitful:D I practised quite a bit for at least 2 hours or so. feel so proud ! hahas. and i told jessica to come for band today, even though she had her class chalet. Am I being very evil? But she has not been coming lately due to 'family matters' which I'm not very sure of. It's not as if I'm rly ruining her class chalet right? At least, she had her fun yesterday cos her chalet started since ytd. I wanted to call her ytd to inform her about band but thought that would spoil her mood at the chalet so I didn't call. I was also thinking that since i have alrdy sent a msg on sunday to inform her of band, she should know and will be coming.
However, when i called her this morning, jacie answered the call instead and she told me that jessica has planned her schedule and will not be coming for band. But a class chalet is not an excuse for missing band. Just like sheng xiong and wee ming, they went for class chalet instead of band and got punished in the end. Besides, she is alrdy a sec2 recruit. I want her to go for band often so that she can practise on her playing and get into the main band as soon as possible before the year 2006 ends cos if not, by then she will no longer be a member of the band. In another way, she will also miss out a lot of cca points if she doesn't come in fast. I'm kinda of worried for her.
I left at around 12 after individuals and by then, i have not seen her or jacie, who is also supposed to be coming for band due to library stuffs. I do hope she did go for band.
Hmm. I'm now at home watching 100% entertainment. Haha. It's kinda of interesting. I like to watch the hosts, xiao zhu and xiao gui joking around. Heex.
And yes, I have revived my blog now, May ! :D

hey ya. i'm asked by may to update my blog so yea. HERE I AM !! this blog has been rusty for very long. i haven't been logging in to blogger for so long plus there was a period of time when my comp was spoilt yea. so finally !! i'm back !!
anyway, it's the holidays now for secondary students but definitely not for me yet cuz i still have one more week of the extension week. i went to take a look at the timetable and some of the lessons seem weird to me. like there's this PM and GTCT. it sounds so odd and we also have this HT where we have to stay till 5 plus. i wonder what is it though. if not, the rest of the lessons are just normal and our classes end earlier than normal !! it ends at 1215 except for tml which will end at 115. but it's still better than other mondays where we have to stay till 415.
emath presentation is still not done even after meeting up twice at gena's house to do it. doubt we can present tml during mrs toh's lesson. tml is kinda boring too. both sciences first followed by double maths and finally, ehist tutorial. it's gna be tiring. and i know there's one day where i will just have double sciences and maths for lesson. that's also nowhere better, just that it has one lesson lesser than tml's one? sigh.
okie, perhaps i shall just end it here. i have not finished doing my e-learning yet. gosh !
bye !
