Really, Thank You for the Music.

Faith, Hope and Love II ended yesterday, and it was absolutely amazing. Our performance was great, especially Jericho. The feel was there, emotions were there, everything was there. It was beautiful.

I could feel my tears welling up during Victory, but I had to control. The last chord of Spirit of Christmas, which was also our last chord conducted by Mr. Tan, was good. It was a great performance, truly a wonderful performance to remember.

There was a slideshow prepared by the schools, CHIJ Toa Payoh, St. Margs, and Catholic High and it was a slideshow showing all the past pictures taken with the schools. Encore was great, but yeah teared sniffled a little. my nose was red hahaha. Thank You for the Music was enjoyable, with all of us singing to the tune, crying a little, moving to the groove. Wow, it was fantastic. Yeah, wow.

Yesterday was our last concert with Mr. Tan and I really really thank him. Thank you for bringing music into my life, thank you for letting me know more about band life and enjoying it. I have definitely enjoyed all my time in band and get the opportunity to make music. Once again, thank you for the music.

Faith, Hope & Love II is tomorrow :D In less than 24 hours, we will be sitting in the IJ Hall rehearsing our pieces *big grin

Today was our last practice before the concert, kinda sad, I will miss playing and practising the pieces, figuring how to play the semi-quavers and the low low low notes, but what I will miss most will be the practices with Mr. Tan.

So let's play well tomorrow yeah!

Band camp was pretty fun, with section bonding, games and practices (:

hahaha, played charades during section bonding time, blueberry cowcake & men-toss (inside joke)! Audition went quite well yay, and I still can't forget the time we've spent during band camp. took many photos, failed jump shots, group photos with succesful & unsuccessful shots, full main band photo with us saying 'Polkaaaa' and 'Jerichoooo', band camp was great.

None of our juniors came, so it was the 7 of us and I realised each of us can make up a letter of the word 'Doubles' hahaha. Night practice was a refreshing one, and it was quite interesting and fun we did not have any night practice before, so it was cool yeah (: full run went well too gimmicckkks!

Concert's in 3 days it's going to be exciting!!!!

Band Camp's tomorrow! From one month, to two weeks, and now, tomorrow hahahaha, can't wait (:

I'll be away from tomorrow (24/11) to wednesday (26/11). I'll update more when I come back, bye.

Ate dinner twice last night, once at home, the other at the Ubin Restaurant, the fried squid with salted egg is delicious! The squid and the egg just melts in your mouth, and it makes you feel happy (I don't know, that's what I feel) whoa, that time we ordered that dish twice, hahahahaha !!!

Bought new reed at IMM last Sunday, yayyyyy but it was very expensive. The happier part is that it is easier to blow, compared to the other reeds when I just seasoned them double yay (:

Band yesterday and we played really nicely, especially Jericho and Spanish Fever. The Victory part was superb and I could feel myself moving to the music. The feel was there and I'm really really happy. Spanish Fever and Spirit of Christmas were very good too! :D

wanted to wake up earlier these few days to make breakfast, haha, after seeing Nigella Express on the Discovery Travel & Living, I will really wanna try to cook (: It's kinda my favourite tv channel now, haha, that's alot to learn from the programmes, cooking!

The set pieces were here today, t o d a y :D I prefer the first overture, rhythms are not too difficult to handle, but the second sounds nicer hmmm, we will be getting our scores soon.

Sectionals & drills will be in less than 8 hours, I have to sleep soon.

I'm listening to Right Here, Right Now from HSM 3 and it has this feel when I went to swim at Sunway Lagoon resort, in Malaysia hahaha, really. I wanna go there again, the place is pretty awesome, with a humongous swimming pool & I'm not kidding. It's coooool :D there's this backstreet boys feel, yeah.

I shall be good and start doing my homework tomorrow, I made a promise to myself, do not procrastinate. I did consider what to take in JC and of course, what to do in the future too. I wanna take the science stream but I do have to study really hard, I guess, about 10x harder. If I do want to get into the dream jc, I'll have to start immediately.

Bought my textbooks (except for hcl) on saturday in Popular, and it cost a whopping $351, inclusive of jw's. in addition, it was real heavy. I have to clear my stuff in the cupboard to make way for my new textbooks.

It's now 11.27pm, tomorrow's Sunday (:

tuition today was funny, bio-break (inside joke)! hohoho, had a great time laughing today. Gah, it is already the 3rd week since school ended and I've only started on maths. There's still:

chinese, english, science (chemistry)

The Seventh Night of July is a nice piece and it is worth listening and playing. We sight-read this last Friday and I was really excited hahaha. The tune's kinda stuck in my head now. I hope we'll be able to play this in concert or performance.

I've been watching discovery travel and living channel and channel 56 for ming zhong, but it's not good for me to stay up so late just to watch the replay when I have watched it before. I can't wait for band camp!

Caught the preview of Quantum of Solace at the Cathay last night, it was pretty nice, but I don't really understand the whole story though, hmm. Overall, not too bad eh.

Barack Obama won :D I thought it would start early in the morning, I mean midnight, so I stayed up late to watch but the coverage only aired this morning. fell asleep in the end hahaha.

yesterday's the 31st October, halloween ! went out with Wan Yu, Wei Yan and Germaine for trick or treating. walked almost the entire coronation road west, and sixth ave. whooo, but it was pretty fun :D

headed back to Wan Yu's condo, took many pictures, I'll upload them later yeah.

Sectionals and drills today, tuition tomorrow.
