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 !
