hello my blog is getting inactive because: 1. i have a boring life, currently projects and presentations. 2. linked to the first point - projects and presentations. however, after econs presentation and report submission tmr, i'm left with commskills presentation after national day! eh but my life will still be boring... HAHA.
i feel like some rotten person wasting life without intensive band practices. lol. thrice a week feels so little ah? you must be thinking i'm crazy but it's true! HAHAHA. zz nvm i shall have sectionals at home instead soon. my strokes and whatever are deteriorating. \:
i shall start studying next week! NO I MUST! at least open my notes to read something.. wl i failed accounting test! ): i see the need to re-do tutorials 1 to 13 on my own..
there's only saturday to study for jap test on sunday! hope it helps, let me passssssss. okay time for econs article analysis. i have 2 to chiong tonight. goodbye.
today was happy band day :D i haven't banded for very long i realised... very long = 6 days!! i missed tp band on friday cos i was on mc. omg i feel bad cos i missed previous friday's and only went for half an hour on monday cos of accounting test which was set at a bu san bu si timing. time to brush up on strokes!
oh back to main point: happy band day. swsy in the morning. played nice songs. (: i think the repertoire for october's concert is not bad yay. although didn't get to play art in the park today, i saw the score! :D
anyway, today was sixth suite, disco kid, tam o' sha__ - this sounds very chim piece (i keep forgetting the title!) and with multitude. i've decided to play timpani for with multitude cos it's actually very fun! lolll. furthermore, i think today was the FIRST TIME i could tune all the notes with the gauge-less timpani and not get lost and managed to play the whole song sightreading! how in tune are the notes is totally another thing... HAHAHA. how i wish i have perfect pitch. or at least some not-so-tone-deaf ears. ): i need more self-training..
then trained down to imm for bandworld. pepper lunched. left after awhile cos ms sia was going down to band fiesta to see see. lol. bugis for jap lesson. sheesh we did what we did for make-up lesson yesterday though. next week test! aim for pass for now... \:
currently addicted to dance movement from the meiden 42nd concert dvd. they're still my idol. imbaaa. the sop sax part kept ringing in my head today. the sound is just so beautiful :D aiyah everything sounds beautiful! but i don't know how to convert everything to mp3 to put in my ipod. NOOB. -.- maybe one day i will... hahaha.
i finished chionging my csa e-commerce assignment in 50 minutes just now. BUT the damn vbus had to have problems at the last 3rd minute before the deadline. it got stuck while uploading and then the whole site can't be loaded. tmd. they'd better extend the deadline.
ahh shall sleep earlier tonight. i found out the remedy to my sickness: sleep early/more. actually i'm not really coughing now. good good. it's either the doctor's medicine is very good or i was already recovering. HAHA. k byeee.
19th july, sunday. mjcsb's band fiesta shall let the photos do most of the talking. credit (cameras): yingzhi, lingmei, eupho guy [oops what's his name again?] and mine.
eh forgot to zoom out lah!
hahaha look at the ball !
cool people :D
had our performance.. first band. *no photos in between* oh, choy took. HAHA. joshua [low, i realised kow was there too haha] said it was soft.. o.O anyhow, off to picnic and camwhore. LOL.
wah latest hip expression..
off to find choy val and christine.
the i-look-very-happy photo. HAHA.
me: tiko face; val: tiko-ing me. hahahaha!
botanic gardens is a very nice place to camwhore with its greenery.
nice! :D
i managed to squeeze into the photo, aha.
yay we had to take photo with the poster!!! (:
clearer version! the laopok one with my phone last year was bby (yy language hehe)!
the umbrellas came in handy cos it started raining the moment we stepped out of school.
superdog @ e-hub for dinner.
i want the blue one! ): val took 3 umbrellas by the way. HAHAHA aunty?
lingmei not supposed to play with umbrella cos she's 19. choy and i still young at 18. LOLOL :D
yeah so we went home. and i discovered a pattern of my sickness: it always gets worst after a performance. -.- but the thing is i haven't even recover from the last performance's! wth...
the year 3s graduated.. ): [siying if you see this, still got your fufu haha!]
does this look like...... koudai?! OMGGG.
and just nice, it's 24th july now. 1 year ago, we had our combined concert. omg 1 year past! gotta say that it was the best part of my band life in 6 years.. i hope to see them again in a year's time.. although we'll only know/get to see the year 3s then. i miss them alot. i miss the 5 days we had, and another 5 in japan. ):
happy happy people. <3
i'm going to sleep. am going to self-quarantine tmr.. to stop the spreading of germs! sorry if i've passed the germs to you! (although we won't ever know if it's from me) over the past month, i don't know how many people got scared by my coughings and whom i've passed the germs to... the doctors will love me. really.
昨日は楽しかったです! (yesterday was fun, take it as it's still monday) but i don't have the time to update now. just finished my script for pom presentation tmr.. more project deadlines to come. econs, csa, commskills presentation. after all the deadlines = semester exam. -.- today's accounting test = DIE. i guess i can't pass, ha. i seriously need to chiong for the 60% weightage august exam. oh freak and jap test in less than 2 weeks...
till i have the time to update.
till then; 2:12 AM

some 30th january discovery centre performance videos! erm, okay not that good, out of tune here and there. but nvm i still like. hahaha. and i think we only had like a few rehearsals, it was quite a last minute thing. \: the event was pretty cool! although i don't watch animes.. (other than pokemon digimon all that HAHA) my first performance in 2009 whoo :D
Singapore Wind Symphony Youth Winds conducted by Mr Mohamad Rasull 30th January 2009 Singapore Discovery Centre Performance at Singapore Cosplay Challenge - Anime Musica Live!
inuyasha!
kingdom hearts!
one thing i found out from the videos. no wonder i used to get picked on for my stupid expressionless face when playing. HAHAHA cos it looks quite retarded... but it used to be worst cos i have the i-open-my-mouth-when-reading-score disease and the whole section had to stare at me for one practice to remind me constantly to close it in cedar. hahaha. omg i miss all of them and those good ol' band days in cedar! ):
wahaha i hope june's concert recordings/videos will be out soon! and i'm not blogging about anything else cos my life is that boring.. eat. sleep. bathe. school. projectsss. band. band fiesta at botanic gardens tmr! (:
i'm still coughing occasionally. must be karma! cough for 3 weeks...
okay off to attempt to do something for econs project & find 2 articles for analysing. and wah sai, accounting test on mondayyy.. as long as they give me templates, should be able to pass if i'm lucky that day. hahahaha my accounting sucksss lah, i think it's my current worst subject. i thought it'd be csa though. HAHA i surprisingly passed my excel project (77/100 somemore!) which i thought would suck alot since i was blanking out when doing.
shall continue my drama tmr morning if i ever wake up early before going to mj. zettai kareshi - absolute boyfriend. [i prefer hearing jap thus watching online :P plus i don't think i can commit to watching the drama on tv every week] left with 2 episodes. choy: i shall see if/when i will cry. hahaha.
another 2 random videos before i go off below. byebye. (to the remaining readers of my blog cos i think most are gone!)
czardas by tkwo sax player. OMG i love tkwo! freaking nice!
final fantasy suteki da ne! nice song. (: haha we played this at games xpo that day.
and... HAPPY BIRTHDAY (GWEE) SIYING! :D love you gay friend! hahaha.
hello i want to blog this :D today's jap lesson was fun.
we had to memorise this part.. then the teacher told us to memorise using london bridge. i thought she was joking... she started singing. then made us sing one time. HAHAHA! i wanted to type out but i realise i don't know how to cos it doesn't fit the tune. o.O so i shall just type the last line she kept singing: いく、いって (i-ku, it-te); my fair lady.
oh oh and she's so kawaii and nice! val and i were filling up the make-up form, again. to replace band fiesta next week. (fill make-up forms and transfer classes somemore and i think we will kena blacklisted by the school soon HAHA) then our teacher happened to be there so we asked her if she teaches any saturday class. yay so we're going her class for make-up! (:
then she chased after us until the traffic light to make sure we don't turn up for the wrong week's make-up lesson. so nice right! :D heheh i like her too man. kudos to cute and nice teachers!
okay, my tagboard DIED. any kind-hearted souls wanna tag? my blog visitors are decreasing too.. but, hahaha i don't care already lah. i finally finished copying 3 lectures of econs notes. ah damn the mc mr and all the curvey wavey curves, i always die at market structure. ): i need to start studying for jap test in august.. AND feel like a student who needs to study and do tutorials.
first few steps towards being a student: 1. clear and pack my table. 2. lesser facebook!!! damn it, i'm playing more and more games. [although it always make me smile. like mdm koh's comment on the cedar fiesta photo we took with her, LOL. and my primary 2 cousin added me on facebook hahaha.] 3. sleep earlier.
ah i should stop typing now. i feel like an inactive bander for the past week.. this week should be better with band fiesta practices, which i can only attend 2 out of 5. more chionging of projects this coming week too. [I NEED TO CUT MY HAIR. I CAN'T SEE, MY FRINGE IS BLOCKING MY VIEW] goodnight.
instead of doing productive things like copying my econs notes (omfg i missed out on 3 lectures already) and revising my jap, i just feel like stoning in front of my laptop. yes i know i am a NOCTURNAL FREAK.
since tmr's picnic outing is postponed, i can wake up late late :D okay not that late since i'm meeting yy just for laughs. LOL yay! i hope gay friend is okay and hope she gets well soon! then we can go for more (group?) dates before their school reopen. hahaha.
one photo before i go off; i randomly decided to visit the sws website and chanced upon sax in the city photos! :D
wow got my photo. lolol this was druids. this reminded me of the album of photos during mjcsb concert with only 1 photo whereby you can see my hand in the full band photo. boycott photog! X:
okay i should stop stoning and either go sleep or do something. goodnight.
hello it's very cold now. i have been rotting for the past 2 hours in school. bye bye.
till then; 6:01 PM
Thursday, July 09, 2009
hello hello. this week is a 2-day band week. taking a break from the past few intensive weeks. HOWEVER, these few weeks will be used for intensive chionging-projects. i've been going to school early everyday this week.. and will be for another period of time.
alamakzsx i don't even have time to go and cut hair! \: at least not this week.. argh it's getting to feel like a bush. the fringe is getting in the way..
project tmr morning again. my cough is not getting any better... just like my facebook status: Ang Ching Hong has mastered the art of coughing with mouth closed. (no wonder not recovering, all the germs go back into the body) i feel like taking a day of mc and stay at home to cough all i want. ):
went to watch syf presentation night just now. wasn't as good as expected.. but oh well, still good efforts put in by everyone. there was this part of a song which sounded like druids! HAHAHA how cool :D
i kinda miss the play-same-song for 10000 times feeling. lol i know this is crazy but i don't know how to describe this.. anyway i seriously hope the next swsy concert will turn out fine especially player-wise. the worst experience is to be sooo unprepared. 2 weeks ago was the concert with the most stressful process i'd ever had. things do change. but what was the reason?
random: wow i actually missed the 7th night of july this year. tanabata~ bye.
swsy performance at world cyber games; 4th july, saturday
reached suntec at 8+am to arrange the instruments. glenn reached early... heng mr rasull came soon after. so there were only the 3 of us moving the instruments.
the mess.
warcraft started.. sri lanka vs vietnam.
sat at aunty anne's with glenn for some light food before siying reached. hahaha we talked about alot of random things. like, stories...
lunch @ astons!
the usual thing we order. HAHA :D
the only 'section' photo we had. hahahahaha! other than that we had no time for photos.
woah cool, like glow in the dark. haha!
after the performance, packed and loaded the instruments onto the lorry. had a hard time moving everything through the crowd which refused to give way. it's time to educate the public/enlighten my blog-readers about some random facts: instruments and stands etc are NOT as light as you think. SO PLEASEEE SIAM next time when you see anyone carrying them unless you want to help or try letting them drop on you. [severity of injury depends] i always have bruises after one round of instrument-moving. -.- good thing: i feel stronger after moving everything.
fake dinner at raffles city's shokudoo. first time eating at shokudoo! wahaha we ate the waffles which i totally forgot to take photo of. but i had worst sorethroat from it after that though..
sunday; 5th july after jap lesson. the duper heavy rain... i was so scared my slippers would get washed away! anyway lesson was not bad, just that i really need to start revising soon. less than a month to the next test! oh oh and i think the teacher give me the ayano feeling.. the sl cum chio one :D
144 hours reading marathon. o.O [at first we still saw 4 hours HAHA] they were at 53 hours or something. omggg.
ate dinner at zenzen, some new restaurant. it just opened opposite our jap school. which is actually bugis. HAHA. it's only cheap and worth it with the promotion.
swedish meatballs and wedges. [how japanese is the restaurant seriously?]
yakitori set. the yakitori is nice! the rice tastes like nasi lemak rice hahaha.
forgot the name. but it's nice too!
anyway overall the food was nice. but maybe not so worth it for the quantity. wow i feel like i'm doing a food review blog now.. lol. ps: i ate my japan taopok udon cup noodles [ahhh luxury good] just now!!! :D but i miss eating it in the ryokan in japan.. walking to the 7-11, some of us in improper dressing [fbt and slippers during winter in the night/morning?!], to shop for nice food.. oh and the pudding!!! ): sigh..
27th june; saturday singapore wind symphony youth winds in concert IV, 3pm. singapore wind symphony: sax in the city - symphonic sounds series, 7.30pm.
guess what. my first SCH concert in my whole life. hahaha. other than 2 syfs i had there.. esplanade twice already still no SCH. HAHA weird. edited: 14 hours at SCH in a day wowwww. 19 hours away from home.
lunch - macs.
on the way to changing after rehearsal and lunch.
changed :D
the changing room percussion used for about 30 minutes.
this is already 80% of the changing room. freaking small !
shifted to the practice room. so biggg everyone can just bring sleeping bags to sleep in there.
FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE i was looking at scores right before concert and stressing out. eh i think almost the whole section was doing that lah. \:
tarantella. stresssss?
concert started. the hall was quite empty... the atmosphere wasn't right, at least to me. lol. so it felt like a rehearsal instead of a concert itself. ahh i screwed up alot of my parts.. and i was getting depressed during spirited away. anyway, the 2 german sax soloists sounded duper niceee :D oh well, anyway it ended with 'some encore piece'. HAHA.
then concert ended and i finally went out to meet the rest after settling the instruments.
the pose koudai taught us and the unicorn pose which was 'banned' by the meiden teacher or whoever it was. HAHAHA.
suddenly this photo feels nice. mine and val's shoes.
siao lang pose by lingmei. LOL.
performers photo.
audience photo.
HAHAHAHA the super wrong photo! shall not reveal whose hands was it...
we wanted to take photos with the german kids! but they were too shy and ran off. ): they're damn cute omg!
buffet for dinner.. haha we thought there'd be more food so we went up very late.
christine was bored.
after getting sax in the city tickets :D
aww so sweet.. and still cute!
sax in the city. the super-nice concert banner!
camwhoring before concert.
toilet during interval. and preparing for performance.
backstage. when the german saxophone ensemble was playing. btw, they sound very nice! everything was well-blended etc. and they don't sound like a saxophone ensemble, they sound like a colourful saxophone ensemble whereby i can imagine hearing flute and bassoon sound and more...
after city swing and tubinger sax ensemble, it was our turn. druids. awesome. concerto grosso. i love that song! september. encore: heal the world. i would say i enjoyed the concert myself. (:
percussion! it was nice playing with the german percussionists. daniel and stefan. note: they're freaking tall !!
haha i just happened to be the clarinet section's photographer.
us with mr bath.
didn't had any chance to take photos with the rest. whoo so the life of a percussionist began. packed, shifted instruments etc. then we decided to go to white sands hongkong cafe for supper. a place where it's near all our homes. HAHA.
on the train with pck.
$6.50 maggie mee. hahaha.
$9 yu pian mi fen.
maggie mee eaters. but it was nice lah :D
yu pian mi fen eaters. i heard it was nice too!
sleepy and tired. time to go home! shared cab with choy and reached home at around 2am.
no ripping. unless i've asked you to gop the photos/content from here. thankyou!
ANGCHINGHONG my friendster!
