I realised that all my posts were related to the Doubles!:D
Yeah, they are the best (:

I shall dedicate this post to my section mates.

Denise
Hey Denise! Thank you for everything! I really liked the key chain and letter you passed to me before POLKA! IV. THANK YOU! I felt that there was this absence after you have stepped down. It was so empty when you were not here ): I'll be more hard working and strive to my very best! We'll miss you!

Wan Sing
WAN SING! You're a great senior. Oh, you are so good in playing the Oboe:D I found the seaweed in the cupboard. Thank you! (: You have been a wonderful senior and I enjoyed Sectionals with you all. I hope you, Denise and Jessica can visit us when you all are free:D We really miss you!

Jessica
Hey!:D It was great to know you! I missed the times we had during Band practices and Sectionals. Laughters were made, the practices we had, the conversations during the breaks, I would never forget that. You, Denise and Wan Sing are the best seniors ever!:D The Doubles will miss you!

Shumian
Hello Shumian! There's going to be a long road for us to walk. We'll strive and get Top 3 position for Section Competition:D SYF's next year, and I am pretty nervous for it. Now that Denise stepped down, you are the only one in the section I'll be pretty close to. && I am so sorry if I made any unaffordable mistakes. I will try my best to perfect my tone!

Claire

Jin-Ni
HELLO! You do read my blog!:D Thanks for tagging and truly, Denise, Wan Sing and Jessica are the best seniors ever:D It was fun having Sectionals with you all and I would want that to continue. We'll continue to work even harder to the future performances and for SYF next year! I have enjoyed the Band practices, Sectionals, breaks, and Section Outings with you all! Let's make the Section Tribute a memorable one for our seniors! (:

SECTION OUTING:D
Denise could not make it ):

Met Jin-Ni at Coronation Bus Stop, then we walked to the bus stop opposite Lutheran Towers.
We waited for Clare for minutes. She came at around 12.50pm
Flagged a taxi, rushed to Queenstown MRT Station.
Called Wan Sing and met Shumian and Cassandra there:D
Later, Jin-Ni and Clare went off to City Hall to collect something [:
Jessica brought us to Anchor Point and had Subway (:

Took bus, walked to Jessica's house:D
While waiting for Jin-Ni and Clare, we watched War In Laws 2.

TREASURE HUNT!
We asked Jessica and Wan Sing to go out for a moment while we hid the gifts:D
The places we hid was not common, I guess
Dustbin, behind papers, inside the piano
HAHA!
However, they still manage to find all:D

Took photograps, but I will not post them here.
There's reasons behind it:D

Played table tennis, with Jessica and Wan Sing (:
It was hilarious, the ball bounced and flew

Chatted a little while, went home at 6.30pm :D
Rushed to make their gifts (:

SATURDAY; SECTIONALS!
JW and I went to school at 7.05am
The Doubles wanted to give their surprise present to them:D

The Sec 1s came today and some went to try the Double Bass
Next week, we will be exchanging rooms with the Tuba Section
):
I want to be in the Band Store! ):
Practised Merry Widow as a whole section
I will miss the times we were together as The Doubles

Later, before break, we went to persuade Denise and Wan Sing to go into the Band Room as we wanted to complete the boards.
They agreed:D
Pinned the photos, wishes and notes.
It was pretty!

We called them out to receive the presents
I hope they like it! (:

SECTION LUNCH
As I had the meeting, Denise, Jin-Ni and Yi En went to Wan Sing's house first
Wan Sing could not make it, so she did not go ):
I met the rest at Serene, cabbed down to Wheelocks Place for sushi:D
We had 45 mins to spend, so we walked to Takashimaya
HAHA!
Then walked back to meet Jessica
Ate at Sakae Sushi
Chatted, and the conversation was super funny:D
Ordered 6 Chawanmushi,4 plates of sushi etc. (:

Gave Jessica her gift:D
Settled the bill
Went home with Yi En and Jin-Ni

---------------------------------

Denise, Wan Sing and Jessica
You all were the best seniors ever
Although you all may probably not come pass here and read this,
However, we would like you all to know that
The Doubles will miss you!

SECTION OUTING WAS FUNNNNN!:D

As we had a Surprise planned, I woke up at 6am
[Just to get ready (:]
I couldn't sleep the night before
HAHA!

Rushed down to Bishan MRT Station
I waited for Bus 54 to come, it took ages just to reach):
Then took MRT with Jin-Ni, Yi En and Cassandra to Choa Chu Kang
Clare didn't made it in time, so she took the other train
Chatted, discussed during the journey

Finally, we reached Choa Chu Kang.
Later, we took LRT to Senja
We took the wrong way My fault (SORRY!)
Met Shumian there, walked to Claire's house
Her siblings are so cute!
Prepared the surprised cake!:D

Later, Jin-Ni, Yi En and I went down to Bukit Panjang Plaza to meet them
We walked rounds, and rounds. Then headed back to Claire's house
Made final touch up to the cake:D
While Cassandra and Claire went to pick them up, we discussed how to present the cake (:

Denise, Wan Sing and Jessica arrived later:D
Yi En and Jin-Ni kept snapping photos
[We need them for a surprise (shhhhh) :D]
They saw the cake, I hope they liked it:D
Started the Indoor Picnic
(:

Took lots of photos, ate, played:D
We brought homework too!
HAHA!
But still, I didn't managed to complete them all

Shumian and Claire played some game on the PS3, while we were discussing our homework
It was rather hilarious with all the bugs
:D

I may not post the photos up, due to some reasons:D
So yeah!

------------------
After Section Outing, went out with Wan Sing to her house
Did some homework, managed to finish 1:D
Then left her house at 4pm, headed to UCC

In the University Cultural Centre, I was freezing!
It was so cold, it made me sleepy ):
The pieces were rather cool
PLANET EARTH:D

When the concert ended, we sat down there as they said there was this survey and in exchange, there will be a gift.
So, we waited down there
Most of the audience left, while some waited
Then when we waited for quite a long time, we realised that no one was giving out the survey
HAHA!
We didn't want to stand up, as no one stood up
:D

Macdonalds for dinner
&& Noodles for supper
Wow, I'm fat ._.

POLKA! IV :D
It was the best (:

Reached school at 1pm
Met my section in the canteen

Denise, Wan Sing and Jessica;
Thanks for your gifts and cards:D

The rain poured ):
Moved the instruments down to the lorry and buses
Sat with my section mates (:
The rain got heavier, and heavier. It was worst when we arrived at VCH.
All of us got quite wet, but some was even wetter ): I hope you all will not catch a cold!
Reached VCH at 3. Moved instruments, set up and settled down by 3.30pm
Rehearsed once through, sound check.
Yup:D

It was Alumni Band's turn to rehearse after us
Saw many seniors, and heard Wan Sing played her solo:D
Then String's turn; I saw En Ci!

Dinner at 5.45, or perhaps 6pm
I almost choked ._.

My nervousness got pretty bad when it was about 7.10pm
When we went up stage, there were so many people down there
:D
Quite happy, as it was almost full house (:

The bell rang [It was practically buzzinggggg]
HAHA!
I could feel my face flushed, I WAS NERVOUS ):
Did tuning, and the warm ups
And it was time!:D

7.30pm, POLKA! IV
It was our day, our concert
We performed our very best.
However, I felt that time passed really quickly
In no time, we had finished first half
):
At back stage, rest for a while. I had leg cramp RIGHT before we went up for second half.
HAHA!

Back to Second Half, I felt that it was okay:D
Concerto Dynamico was lively (:
Canto was sad, and emotional
Andrew was fun:D
SHREK DANCE PARTY!
I asked some of my friends, they said that they liked this song the best:D
ENCOREEEEE!! (:

Now, I really miss POLKA! IV
Also, the Sec 4s are stepping down ):

SECTION OUTING THIS SATURDAY!:D

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

Oh oh, feeling hungry again ):
Shall cook noodles now, though its 11.30pm
HAHA
Tomorrow's the BIG DAY
It's POLKA! IV :D

Band practice yesterday and today was absolutely funny (:
Yesterday, Sec 4s did not come as they had the Study Skills Camp with Dr. Adam Khoo
So, it was quite empty
However, the learning process was funny. Mr. Tan let some girls to try conducting the Band. Also, Mr. Tan said that he shall change his job and become Dr. Adam Tan.
Haha:D

Today!
Although Sec 4s had Study Skills Camp, they came for practice!:D
We did our last full run, we sounded better!
And today, it was the last practice with the Sec 4s ):
They are going to step down soon ):
