concert's next week!!! ahhhh!!
skipped class yesterday, instead joined sis to watch 3 movies at the library, Lassie, Lilo & Stich2, and Brother Bear 2. haha. afterwards liyi went off with madeline and carrie to buy stuff and i met up with my juniors frim peixin band for a game of bowling. in the end managed three games and then i took a cab to sch(quite near luh, jurong) coz of time constraint. was gonna be late for band. reached sch juz in time but...
i ran into trouble. couldnt enter school at first, but in the end things went fine.. late for prac though. and havent eaten a thing since breakfast. =X
finally yubing understood why initially i wanted to play Sea of Wisdom solo. its the nicest solo of the whole repertoire. haha. Ride is the most challenging. haha gotta work hard to perfect it. but still cant resist playing it whenever i can. now yubing too, keep playin Sea of Wisdom on and on after last night's prac. haha
on the way home was the usual noisy anad fun bunch. hah! though it seemed a lil wilder last night. on th purple line with gris and emm, we found new things to laugh at everytime! and we'll laugh to tears!!
right, movin on, today woke up at 7am for sectional with the tutor at 9. today's session was pretty good, went through some techniques and played, yes, Sea of Wisdom.. haha! afterwards we ran through gozilla with mr chiang(ahgong) LOL. it went pretty smoothly too. im extremely tired after consecutive pracs(wed to sat) but its real fun! monday rehearsal @convention centre!
messed about at home before going for mass, we sang Oh God You Search Me real well. =)
havent been able to hang out much coz of pracs for IBM. hmm...

roll out!
school's been a rollercoaster ride this week. i got back 4 outta five results and boy, was it disappointing. low As and 2 Bs. we're all still in the dark regarding our CProgramming but there's no rush in knowing that particular outcome.
i have got to get rid of this holiday mood. the upcoming semester exam is gonna be so important to push my grades up to the max. gotta go for it!
speakin of working hard, gotta practice hard too. IMB 27 is in 2 weeks time!!!! cant wait for it!
yesterday had woodwind sectionals, absolutely worn out after that. we went through more than half the repertoire. it was also held at 9am but we had to reach there by 830, which meant gettin up at 7 to leave by 730? =X but its good to have prac, we only have 2 practices per week excluding sectionals arranged by SLs. i went home after havin lunch wit Uncle elliot and my couzz yubin and james. haha. the relations i have with them is explained below...

time flies
again, lots of things juz flew by since the last post.
a crisis is on the loom with the h1n1 influenza, schools shutting down one by one. surprisingly SP is not really affected badly.. hope it continues to stay that way. with the number of cases rising and the majority are below the age of 20 its beginning to get outta hand. throughout all the mayhem, the exodianz sufferred badly with thier concert cancelled. i havent been back since coz they dun even know whens their next prac. the same thing goes for peixin(yishun) pri.. last time i went was sir's birthday. been occupied with SP symphonic and jazz band.
im doing fine in SP. band is really fun and we're preparing for our concert I Believe in Music (IBM) on the 26th of july 5pm. interested drop me a message luh. hung out with bandmates most of the holidays. the last two weeks were bandless, kinda boring but we've been going back to sch( for me a 45min ride to and fro) and revising for the last week of holidays for the MSTs. currently im halfway there, 3 papers down, final 2 in my way. the bad thing is, C Prog paper is finally tmr. GG.... thermo's the very last paper. that ones still managable. anyhow, my classmates are great peeps too, though we could be a lil more serious most of the time.. haha. we're pretty united luh and help each other out whenever we can.. very open too. all guys wats there to hide. haha.
with poly life pretty hectic im kinda pushing aside my church choir buddies. been missing pracs and stuff.. uhh,,, gotta be more insightful. plan my schedules properly.. and not let my decisions be swayed by other factors.. we got our own project to finish up. the recruitment for the choir is to be on the 12th and we're gonna prepare a few songs and the youths are the main ones to attract other youths.. we need new blood. haha. pray for things got go well and progress smoothly for everyone.
ahhhh... almost midnight. i really am strugglin to juz focus fully for Cprog.. im almost driven to desperation or juz plain wanna give up on this module. i wont say im not exactly horrible. but when i panic everything goes blank and for this particular module, the chances are extremely high that it may occur. quoting from roger, "screwed like a potato on a salad stick"
choing! still got hope. haaha... need lots of luck.. -ugh-

confidence. or indifference.
i need to discipline myself. badly.
gotta put that extra effort in lectures. esp for the cprog module, even if the teacher can be quite a bitch at times. quizzes arent done, like for the one i just mentioned, along with post math and OH GOSH, the essay.
damn.
here i am wasting time and effort, typing away.
i wish i could stop time. or escape into an alternate dimension where a whole day i spend would only result in an hour passing by. i really really want more time to prepare myself for the auditions coming sun and mon, national winds and sp jazz band respectively.
i finally found time to try out the alto i borrowed from st gabs band yesterday, and i clearly lack playing time. ive been playing the tenor too for the past month, embouchure is forgotten. the last time i blew an alto was late january, (i consider only playing as a band, a proper practice) with cjc band. desperately need getting used to.
whats more, ive yet to select a piece for either auditions. ARGH!
need lots of help!
prayer!
its been a while too since the last post. lots of things has passed. school's been a month and im really into my course i guess. and birthday came too. had friends come over for a dinner/feast with the famly at home. pretty simple celebration but was real pleasure and great enjoyment.
dyed my hair as well though it aint too obvious. had band camp last weekend. it was... messy. but again a great time. got to know most of the bandmates and the games were okay luh. just wished didnt get that many forfeits on the first night... ugh.
in two more weeks it'll be the holidays, though it might be more of a study break. the mid sems test are on the first week back. darn! study study study hard brey!
thats all for now. all the best for the auditions. be confident or go through the whole process with a single thought, clear of all worries and emotions and whatever. like an android. hahahahaha.
nah, too extreme.
good luck..

falling. failing?
2009 has been quite rough for me so far. i need to change myself as all the flaws in my character have caused chaos.
laziness will be the death of me.
i feel out of place whenever i visit the guys at st gab's band. i dunno how to help or improve my own section. i cant even play well anymore nor do i know wat it is that they could do to sound better, im not a hundred percent sure how to guide them. sometime i feel like im juz there to kill time. i miss playing the most. i find joy in performing with friends during concerts. letting them enjoy listening to us.the success we share when we go for competitions like the syf. and juz hanging out together, fooling around.
really miss it so much.
i also havent been taking care of my body much. im already rather average in height and i cant seem to sleep early and have long peaceful hours of rest. stupid habit needs to go. im bloody heavy too. my weight exceeds the appropriate rang for my damn bloody short of length from head to toe,.
screw that. lazybug has fully invaded my system, im falling apart bit here and there.
gotta pull myself together. school's starting in a month, gotta be serious now.
im on the ground. i fell, time to pick me self up. failed here and there, time to get something right somewhere.
speaking of falling.. i dunno if i have.. or its juz one of them lil jokes called infatuations..
damn these crushes to the heart. like i wanna hav more things at night to keep me awake.
if i were to mention to you three words. as you gave me some comfort in my life. shared part of yourself. and allowed me to do the same. would this juz break away and reveal itself as juz my imagination..? im scared. a coward. i'll hang on to this for now.

slow and easy
at the moment i wish the days could pass by more quickly.. but things are quite fine the way it is.. i kinda gave up on the sales job that AK and i tried out for.. so now i spend my free time helping out the band.
their syf is on the first day, band number 5, juz after the interval... there aint much time left.. but i believe they could just pull it off. Gabrielites generally always 'chiong' when it comes to exams and competitions.. heh..
going back and watchin them practice makes me miss playing in the band a lot. it isnt the same sitting there and giving a few pointers here and there. though at times, yes the practices do get dull. playing the same thing over and over.. the reward is fantastic, totally cancels out watever negative feeling.. haha
if the attitude is there, you can achieve just about anything.. a friend of mine was so determined and set his mind to run 10km daily. went through this routine for 3 months and dang, he looks in real great shape.. 30 kg burned mind you... heh.
haha.. now i should really stop being too lazy..
