Weather: Grey sky, looks like its gonna rain
Event: christmas eve
24th December 2006

Ok, i know i am not supposed to be blogging. But i must really post bout ytd's events, cos its not good to keep negative feelings inside you. ok, this post is dedicated to someone.

I am gonna be sacarstic describing him.
He is "not" cute.
He "loves" people to call him cute.
He is "not" close to me.
He is "not" a potential band leader.
He "hates" naruto.
He "dosent" play the organ and the flute. ]
He "cannot" argue well

SO "indirect" HOR?!anyway, to that someone, i really hope you can read this. Cos you didnt even know how horrible my day is ytd.

The day actually started all right. cos ytd is my cousin's 1 yr old birthday. Such a joyous occation. So, i dunno why, ytd, i got like super addicted to the songs- peterloo overture and songs of sailor and sea. Both of which contains notes running like mad. So first of all, perterloo overture for piccolo part has the highest note that a piccolo could reach-4th octave C. I WAS like trying to pitch it, and i kept on trying and trying. When i finally did it, my mum was like "ugh, stop that!", so high and whatever. OK. this was the first thing that made me mad already, I mean, its an accomplishment, you should be happy! People trying so hard, you go pour cold water. FINE.

The 2nd thing that made me mad: ok, then since my mum says so chao. I switch song, go practice songs of sailor and sea. i juz kept running and running, and i even played with the recording. I was like enjoying myself. Then my dad was like coming to pick us up to go to my cous 1 yr old party. Then I asked what time is dad coming to pick us? they said in bout 10-15 mins. SOO much time, enough for me to practice laa! Then i was like practicing practicing, then suddenly " GO ALREADY LAA!" my mum shreked. WHAT THE ****. ok, stupid. that was totally dumb. First of all, you said that dad was coming in 10-15 mins, it was like only 5 mins, i checked. Then you ask me go?! WAKAO. fine. I keep pic, then headed to metro in Century square to get a present.

The 3rd thing that made me mad: in century square, the 3rd floor of metro, is all toys and stuff for kids, so we went there to get presents for my cous and also for my nephew(jovan)- I always mention about him in my posts, sure you know bout him now?- cos Jovan's bday in october, we didnt have time to get a present for him due to exams. So after buying, we were rushing off, cos no time already. So we took the escalator down to the 2nd floor. After that, there are 2 ways out, 1 is to exit by the 2nd floor exit, another is to take the escalator 1 more floor down and exit by the first floor. My sisters- sharol and natasha, was in front of us, and they like chong chong mang mang walk to take the escalator to the first floor, I was like in the middle, mY parents and dion were like at the back. So Then my parents chose to take the 2nd floor exit, 2 of my sisters were like chionging , my mum was like calling out to them to ask them exit by the 2nd floor exit, I went to the extent of taking that few steps to call them loudly, When i see that they are turning back, I walked out of the store with my parents. then when we were taking the escalator from the 2nd floor of century square to the first floor, we realised that sharol and natasha was not behind us. My mum was like "where are they?where are they?" I was like, "i called them already what!?" Then after that, My mum scolded me,"Kepp following me for what? so big already should go take care of mei mei mah!! follow me follow me. ughh!"
I was like super pissed off laa. I mean, i already saw them turning and walking towards the exit of the store thats why i left with you all right??? FINE LAA! whatever. i was like super pissed. My artilery of bad words juz felt like coming out. BUt i held on to it. I mean seriously, when i reassured myself that my sisters are heading towards the direction we are going, then i go with my parents maa. If not what you expect me to do? GO allll the way to them, pull them by the ear, then go with you all izzit? both my parents are like wasling so fast laa, i mean, if i go all the way to my sisters, and them come back again, you all will like dunno run till where already laa! WTF WTF. mann. I am like sooo freagin angry still.

4th thing that made me angry: I was like in the car, staring out of the window, enjoying the scenery, at the same time, try to brush all the negative feelings away. Then in the car halfway, my dad was knowing that i am angry laa, still ask me stupid questions, then when i replied hastily and rudely, scold me. ASK ME, "HOW COME YOU SO RUDE? ok, since you so insensitive, so whatever whatever(i wasnt really listening) i cancel all your classes!" in my mind i was like "cancel lor, i dont even have any classes for you to cancel. I dont have tuition, i dont have any extra classes, cancel baa, go ahead" that was what i was thinking. but then what really made me mad is that, you already know that people is like super pissed and angry, you go ask them questions sure liddat 1 what. then you still have to go drill in it, and scold me somemore. To that someone, if you are reading till here, i mean if you have a bad day already, and someone still had to go drill in it, you mean you will be happier izzit?! Then dunno why, my dad just loves to scold me all the things i have done "wrong" all at the same time. like last sunday, we went to the fish farm to go collect fish and fang sheng, so it was raining like siao, and we were like under the shade, letting the monks chant and pray for the fish, 1 lady was like asking guys/boys to go and help to move fish onto the boats, my dad and me was being asked for. My dad went ahead, and i stayed. REASON: dion was scared like shit, and then though sharol was there, i stayed to give her reassurance. My dad even said to the lady, " he cannot, too weak." then in the car, he scolded me somemore, "then that day at the ffish farm ask you go move fish why you nv go? you so big size, can 1 what. i replied him, take care of sisters lor. He was like, sharol there to take care mahh. Lame excuse. WTF. i mean, if dion wasnt scared like shit, I would have went, If i go, i dont think sharol would be enough to reassure her nothing is wrong. Walao. And i didnt want to tell him that he helped me say "ta bu ke yi" thats why i never, I mean seriously, he help me reply first, thats why i didnt go. If i say right, he sure say never, never. WHERE GOT?! dont anyhow accuse people. so since my thinking tells me so, or after being his son for 15 yrs, how would i not know his patterns? goodness

so at the party, when i saw jovan, was like foget the -ve feelings for a while laa. then play with him, and brandon(my 1yr old cous) for like from afternoon to evening. After that, my family with xue mei jie jie and jovan went to have dinner at the coffee shop near my house. then after that went back home. my dad wanted to come home for a while to shower and then go out again with his friends to go talk talk, so jovan, xue mei jie jie and us went to my house to play laa. WE took out toys and stuff. Then i remembered that i have movies of jovan that i havent send to xue mei jie jie. Ask her whether she wanted when i on the computer. Then after that, ok liao, i decided to go online for a while, then after that, someone come talk to me, ask me play kong kong with him and my senior. I agreed.

Since my 2 yr old nephew loves dogs, fish and car, and kong kong is a race, he of course interested mahh. SO i let him play. he sit on my lap, then i guided him through. After that, it was time for xue mei jie jie and jovan to go back. DAd sent them home. Then I went shower, ask sharol take over me for a while. then play 1 game, i come out, then go back and play kong kong again. I was like havin a super bad day already, and i told them that someone and my senior that i was having mood swings and a bad day. THat someone still go and say i was copying him, that i was trying to imitate him. WTH. then after that, i told him, please, no more debates and arguments, had enough for a day. Then he replied there: " NO MORE EXCUSES AND STUFF TOO" i mean, people having a bad day already. First my dad, then NOW YOU. WTH. i wasnt lying to you that my nephew was playing or sharol was playing right, i seriously aint. WHERE GOT mood to do so? I am feeling super pissed already, then you still say no more excuses and stuff?! WALAO. ok fine, you wanna play it this way? 1 day when you feeling super mad/pissed, then you say i having a bad day, super pissed. I tell you "NO MORE EXCUSES AND STUFF" you happy not?? HAPPY RIGHT?? fine. I do that to you kay? YOU WANT?? you reply me, YOU WANT NOT??! STill say.

to all of you reading this, juz wanna tell you all something. My patience and ren nai has its limits, And it is really triggered already. I cannot ren, I cannot stand this anymore. sometimes i asked myself, why must we have the feeling of angry inside us? I mean seriously, can't take this anymore. I wanna give up already. ytd night, i juz tossed and turned, couldnt sleep, juz kept on reflecting on why am i soo angry at myself, went to bed at 10pm, slept at 2 am. kay? so to that someone, i hope that my explanation is satisfying for you. OH NO. wait, its not! it really isnt, ALL this are just excuses RIGHT? HORR? k, so this whole post is redundant anyway. UGH!ENOUGH ALREADY. i am not gonna go on and on any further.

-jErM
p.s. To people who are concerned, pls don bother bout this, i juz wanna clear some doubts. HORR SOMEONE? i am deleting this post after 3-4 days.

Weather: its still early morning, sky still so black
4th December 2006

hi. you must be wondering what am i doing up so early. lemme tell you. an sms from yi jin(our class chairman) reminded us that there is a forum to be done today. but then i am waiting for it. the BIG prob now is.. i have no access to the computer for a few days as i am going to sarawak!! goshh! nvm. that sms woke me up and now i couldnt sleep.

goshh, in a matter of hours, i will soon be taking my FIRST plane ride. haha, cant wait. after 15yrs 2 months 16 hours 30 minutes 00 seconds, i am gonna take a plane. haha (wei jun, does this answer your post?) ha. yup. and the band will be going to sarawak for an exchange. OH YA. juz in case i forget,

1) To all the flute section seniors: There will not be ANY band practice until the last week of december. HOwever,
during that 2 weeks brake, there might be some days where we have sectionals.
erm, if you all are interested coming back to help, do sms/msn me, i will tell you all
the dates that we are coming back. only if you want. haha.

2) To the whole section: Do you all want anything from sarawak? better faster leave a tag if you want. I will be
checking the lead forum and my blog at 2.00pm/ 1400 hrs. SO YOU want faster say kays??


Sighs, suddenly, memories of seniors coming back to help out come flashing into my head. It has been a long time since the section alumni came back horr? the last one was huiqin and manning a few days a go. sighs. I really really really really really can't believe that i am saying this but.... erm....I am starting to miss all those scoldings, teachings and sectionals with the seniors, i am also starting to miss the senior's voices. like i still can hear the one that xinhui scolding me when i dropped my flute echoing inside me, also the time when she passed me a WHOLE load of info to pass to the section. and Li hong's 1 too. remembered how li hong conducted sectionals with us. yup.dunno why, i am starting to miss all those stuff, i used to hate all those scoldings and stuff. but i am starting to miss it.
yup. Actually, by doing some reflection, i am starting to see that, seniors do love their juniors, i can see. they scold you, is so that you wont repeat the same mistake again and again. They immense fear into you, is so that..... they...
yup. thats why. sighs. wonder when is the next time the seniors can come back again. it has really been a long time since the hsc flute section seniors stepped into the band room. but i know why. they also have their stuff to be busy about, like studies, band, and all other stuff. yup. sighs. haha, but hope that if they are free, they can come and help us?

and now, the 2 set pieces are out. we finished sightreading them, we finished detailed reading them. now i really dunno whether we are making any mistakes. I conduct the sectionals, we run through the pieces and all that, but really, i dunno what is wrong now. sighs. Seniors, can you all come back and conduct us on the 2 set pieces Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? ??? wanna know what's wrong and what's right. sighs. nvm. muz wait. haha. just hope to see the seniors stepping back into the band room again. haha. nvm. i wait.

haha, kays, going to do A MATH TYS Liaos. muz faster finish it.

-jErM
p.s. if you all find anything wrong or offensive, leave a note in the tagboard kays? =). i will delete it.

Weather: Grey sky
3rd December 2006

OK, part 2 of ytd post.

The latest band practice
Sunlight streamed through my window, and when i awoke with blurry eyes. I found out that i'd better hurry to band practice as i was gonna be late. I was suppose to report with wei jun and joanne(she holidaying) to the band room at 9 am all together with all those going to sarawak to practice some songs for the sarawak trip. We met there earlier to try out the 4 pieces that mrs chua wanted us to play for the sarawak trip. Thereafter, we decided to try out some new pieces just in case there weren't enough pieces to play. Some included castle in the sky, accolonda and so on. In the end, IF, IF only, there were not enough, we will play covington square(maybe only). but before that, i came earlier to fix my piccolo. and suprosingly, i found out what is wrong and it is like SO DAMN SUPER NICE TO PLAY ON IT... =)
So after that, we had 2 HRS BRAKE. "siao sia..." ok, so since i not hungry. I decided to stay in the band room. Christine came down and handed me her O level stuff. haha, cool, got time slowly flip. aiya, sure get the chance. stayed in the band room with sofie, weijun, rachel, and christine. Just being left in the band room. ALONE!! WAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA!! (Er Hao, Hakeem, just in case you are reading this, we didnt touch other section's instruments INCLUDING the percussion. we didnt touch at all). then wei jun and sofie suddenly sot, wanted to march. so they marched. Behind the white board in the band room is plenty of space. So they marched marched. YOu know the drum beside the conductor's stand? ya, we beat the famous marching drum beat while they marched. haha, relax, nothing happened to the drum. Then after that, since got nothing to do, i decided to pick up my piccolo and played along some marching pieces like bandology, rough riders and stars and stripes. haha, the solo was fun. managed to play out the solo. haha, i was like so happy. =D. can ask christine if don believe. after that, we stayed in the band room and played stars and stripes again.(just me and christine) haha, since she missed the piece so much, while i tried to play the tedious and difficult pic solo. While weijun, sofie and rachel continued marching. haha, so much fun. we even marched inside the instrument room. Then wei jun outside beating his drum, while we inside slack for 5 mins. haha, he didnt realise. =p.

ok, then we went for lunch. no need tell you details. again, me, sofie, weijun, rachel and christine went for lunch. of course, talk talk, gossip gossip, chit chat chit chat. lalala.like what people would normally do laa. then went back to school.

back at school, we started with sectionals. haha, then warm ups, long tones, harmonics, testing of scales, major, minor, chromatic. (you get the idea), then we started working on the 2 set pieces. both laa. we started with movement 1, then 2. studied, played rested. etc. then, it was time to go DOWN. =). Since there is still some time left, since i and zhi hao madd, we decided to try stars and stripes AGAIN, up in the sectional area before we go down. play play play, then go down. haha, so fun. then went down, played the 2 set pieces. then cos amanda play the senza part, never change. juz keep on the same rhythm, mr chua told her like bird like that, like you know the stars and stripes piccolo solo? like bird like that. Suddenly, zhi hao and wei jun stared and me, i stared back. I was like, GOSHH, did he hear it? thought he was in the band room? oh goshh, die liao. then was like soooo super paiseh laa. nv am i gonna do it again, unless we are doing it for marching. haha, at least if the band wants to do stars and stripes ( i doubt so), haha, the pic part, i can fang xin lers=). haha. then went for break. and we took section photos.!!!eeks~ i love these photos mann. especially then one at the top, see there!! up there, my main pic of the blog. haha,hil edited the pics some how, cos she have some programme to do so. I dont have. so i used paint. (eh, wait, back to topic) then the rest of the day was fun. THe piccolo really dunno after i fix, it is like sooooo damn freagin nice to play. ALL the notes come out easily, tuning is in tune and all that. hahaha, but also muz thank huiqin for lending me her piccolo when the pics were spoilt. promise her that i have to give her a bigger present for christmas during the chalet. haha, in band, the 2 movements was fun. Then the senza part, i tried to flutter tongue. haha, andrea said that its cute. haha, cool then. "hil's idea to ask me to flutter again". haha, the flute 1 and piccolo duet was in tune. =D. and for movement 2, got 1 part the super high notes, can play out. hahahhahahahaha. WAhahahhahaha. WAHHAHAHAHHAHA. MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. *mad liaos*. haha.
and that ends the band prac where the piccolo was damn nice to chui. oh ya, and after that, stayed back to help kaiping with her flute. She really must practice if she wants to catch up.

Weather: Grey sky, gonna rain soon (i think)
2nd December 2006

Hi.
ok, i shall blog bout the crescent girl's exchange and what happened yesterday in this post( nxt post) . (its gonna be long) if you have no time to read this, my advice is read it when you're free =D. haha (anyway, who would be really intereseted to see this? goshh~lol)
Part 1 of post:
Crescent exchange
When i woke up, the sun still had not rise. 6am i think. Cos i was meeting wei jun at white sands earlier for breakfast that day. WE( half of the band) is supposed to meet at pasir ris mrt station to go to crescent for an exchange with all of mrs chua's bands for the syf 07 set piece. So took the mrt from tampines to pasir ris.Walked into white sands. Then waited, waited and waited. Then i decided to call wei jun and guess what?? " The bus driver driving damn slowly laa.. bla bla bla" So me, being the good senior, decided to be patient, and wait for his little cute junior. By that time when he arrived, we have not much time left to eat. We actually agreed to eat at "ka yun toast", the food there is good. However, due to time constraint, there is no time to enjoy a nice breakfast slowly. Further more, the place is so packed. So 2 little hungry boys decided to walk to mcdolnalds and eat. By then, it was time to meet the band already. When we meet, we chit chatted while waiting for the others, then somehow ( dunno how) talked till the band badge. I realised that i had stuffed it in my bag somewhere and wanted to wear it ( i stuffed it in cos no time, rushing to meet wj) then i realised that my band badge was lost. mann, sighs, really hope that i can get back my badge.>.<
k, then after that, took a train to red hill. ( from the east to the west) whew, the ride was long , really long. So to abide time, the band in the mrt chit chat chit chat to let time pass. Before we know it, we were lugging our instruments big and small all the way to crescent.
When we finally reached crescent, we were greeted by their band major. She lead us to their band room, where we deposit our bags, set up instruments, and then leave to band room. We were like lost rabbits, trying to find where the respective sections are. For me, "flutes and piccolos", find find find.. lalala, then finally found them. We said hi and all that. then started sectionals.

During sectionals, i was looking forward to meeting piccoloists. And then i found out something. That day, only crescent's piccolist and i were present. Ngee Ann and ANglican high's piccoloist wasnt present. So talked talked, introduced. THen tuned. Then started working on the set piece. For the set piece, there were 2 movements- movement 1 is called sunrise while movement 2 is called night safari. We decided to work on movement 1 first. Cos for movement 1, piccolo is really nothing to do. All the same stuff, some little bits here and there, etc. SO when we finished, the crescent piccoloist looked really suprised. cos she thought it would be long. haha. BUt then during the sectionals, i was teaching her. yup, she is sec 2. haha. So there is some extra time, we saw that the flute 1s were having sectionals with a tutor. forgot what her name is =p, but she was good =). there were 5 flute 1s.1 Haising, 1 AH, 1 Ngee Ann, 2 Crescent. haha, they were still working on the score. For flute 2, there were 3, 2 crescent and 1 haising. haha, for haising flutes and pic. pic- me, flute 1- qiyun, flute 2- wei jun. yup. haha. then after that, the tutor tutored us, piccolos with flute 2, gave us some really good pointers to work on. By that time, it was already time for break. The crescents walked off into the band room, leaving me and weijun sitting on the bench, not that we dun wanna rest, we decided to try out on some parts of the movements. While practicing, we suddenly saw someone. somebody legendary, somebody whom my dunno how many batches of senior have spoken to me so many times- wang tong lao shi. i dunno, according to xinhui and zhi hao, she can use 1 lao po ka flute and play like a real professional. we didnt really get the chance to speak to her, but we finally managed to see her in person. haha, we then rounded up what we have learnt and walked to the band room to keep our instrus to join the others. haha, while walking, we wang tong lao shi and mr chua were at the enterance of the band room, mr chua said" there, haising flutes". something like that. so went for break.

"we ate mcdolnalds- apple pie and chicken burger" then headed up to the hall where we have combine, all 4 schools.

whew, when we entered the hall, it was big, WAY big, and cold too!
we sat together(the pics) with the flutes. then started combined. quite all right. Movement 1 is very soothing and meledious. but got 1 part where there is a flute solo ( piccolo accompany) that was so scary, suddenly the whole band just quietened down. haha. yup. that marks the end of movement 1. But already knew the piece, and lots of pointers, so told all the pointers to manning and huiqin who havent touched the piece. =).
Then we decided to try movement 2- night safari.Its more fun, more complicated. haha, but there are high notes for the piccolo. due to extreme coldness, its super hard to screech out those high notes. hha, i dont really wanna type out the details, which is interesting. cos there is a lot. so there marks the end of the day. took a train back to tampines and walked ALL the way to huiqin's hse to return her piccolo. and walked all the way home. ( huiqin's live at tampines west(changkat) while i live in tampines east)SO FAR AWAY. haha, i borrowed her pic cos both piccolos spoil. BUt i managed to fix one of them ytd. haha, so nice to blow after that. But when i reached home, i was dead beat. I wanna sleep.haha. so that marks the end of day 1.
