SEC 3 CAMP ROX MAN!!

sorry ar got back from camp too busy and tired to blog...

aniwae, the sec 3 camp really rocks man, even though the toilets are like crap and the treks are so darn difficult and crappy...

first day-

nothing much, just sit on the bloody bus all the way there... with 1 hour left to go, i kena motion sickness then veri sick on the bus, den like, ppl making joke out of me i oso dun care... den reach the hostel wif the air-con rooms(too bad for the rest)... so, on to the second day...

second day-

woken up by wenbin and gang, so noisy can?!?

my group went for the flying fox-abseiling part first, but b4 that we got water confidence thingy.. so nice lor, jump into the freakingly cold water... backstroke out to the current, let it carry u abit, den backstroke all the way back to shore...

after that got another part of water confidence, jump into rapids... this one very nice, i jump that time all the water shoot into my mouth cos i was going:"WHEE!!!"... so everything in the water oso go in lah...

then we go for flying fox... walow this one damn idiotic... i stuck halfway on the flying fox lah... wah piang, it's like exactly halfway in between.. the rushing water was below me... den the guy at the lower shore swam out to grab the white rope attached to my harness, he intended to pull me to shore... den he going to reach the rope liao he lost footing then the current pull him, but he managed to grab the rope in time... den like he's the one being saved now... den i just grab the rope above me and bit by bit pull, very dangerous thing, cos if it started to run smoothly again my fingers wud be trapped... slowly we got nearer to shore.. den another guy at the shore threw this super-long rope at the trapped-in-the-water guy, and he tied it to the first white rope, den the guy at the shore pull and pull... pull until the bloody rope break.... so crap..... den in the end he throw to me... i take and puuuuuuuullllllllll.... until reach the end... meanwhile miss lim was clicking here and there taking a serial drama wif her digi cam of me being stuck, can ask me to pose summore...

yah, tats about it for flying fox... amazingly i wasn't in the least bit frightened... hahaha

den the abseiling was so darn simple lah... i took like, 15 seconds?!?!

the best was the water rafting after lunch... so fun. first got capsize drill... hahaha, i pulled Yi Chen, i think, den forgot to let go... den come out she was like scolding me... hahaha

den rafting down the rapids, so fun... i sit in the middle no paddle... nothing to do wan... ppl ask for encouragement i dunno wad to do... haiz... tell them guangrong's joke abt the old ladies line dancing thing they didn't get it... aiyah nvm...

den going to end that part we kena caught in the rain lah... den going back tat time stand at the back of this pickup-landrover mix thing.... i thought i was going to kena hypothermia....

ar, thats it for now, i think i will type summore next time...

NELSON!! IF U'RE READING THIS, LISTEN UP!! U'RE TOO MUCH U NOE, TRYING TO SABO UR FELLOW TROMBONIST WITH UNDERHAND MEANS.... U REALLY ARE TOO MUCH...

ookokok... enuf of my shouting to tat idiot too cropped up in his own world to notice tat people are talking abt a backstabber hu's description absolutely fits him...

aniwae, visit xingwen's(see my links) blog for details about wad i was shouting abt....

tml i'm gonna have to lug my blades to school tml...

oh yar!! it's RUSSEL'S bdae tml!! must bdae bash him!! hahahhaa... not really bash lar i not tat evil, just put him under shower can liao... hahahaha....

there's some sort of love triangle regarding 2 ppl in the band and 1 outside the band... so farni kind of crushes thing...

boi 1 likes girl, who likes boi 2... boi 1 seems too interested in boi 2's background or sumting liddat, and can just talk abt girl's crush like free liddat... almost no regard for girl's feelings... boi 1 insists tat boi 2 saves girl's messages but boi 2 denies it, and boi 1 also says tat girl doesn't delete boi 2's messages... but keeps them instead...

hahaha so farni can...

DAMMIT!!!

I was at elias park primary doing this workshop, so couldn't go for band today... den guess wad...

Russel, who was oso there, got a call saying no cornet trainers and the sec 1s are just there like lost sheep, dunno where to go. So i got worried, den sms Eugene ask whether got ppl taking my perc juniors. He replied saying Joshua taking...

at this point i was quite relieved lar, at least not as poor thing as russel's section. But then!!??!?! *@%$&#!!!! where are the sec 3s????!?!?!

I wasn't there cos i had this workshop to do... Joel's dad farni one, after exam still dun let him go... den Shima and Effa leh?? Wah piang... but maybe they got their reasons lar... maybe so coincidence, clash wif my 'appointment'.... gotta ask them tml...

okok on wif the entry...

the workshop was quite fun, cos like, the ppl there know each other oredi, no nid for ice breakers... budden, got a lot of naughty ppl, got 'gangs' den bold enuff to refuse to do the simple things like looking at us while we talk... so in the end got 3 P4 boys cannot go for break... haiz, den Shuyu and Mr Oh talk to them... talk dunno wad cock until haf to assemble again.... the rest was just crap, nothing to tok abt, except the incident where Cheryl was going around spraying people wif her smell-like-urinal-disinfectant perfume. Den i turn around, and it got into my left eye... so pain can, like, instant sting, not the soap-wait-awhile kind....

ar, aniwae... i just recalled this bloody incident at the bus stop on tuesday...

Tat stupid Loke came up to me...

Loke: how old are u ar? sec 3 or 4?

Me: sec 3.

Loke: you're the one who played the that thing(motions wif her hands) for my choir during speech day right?

Me: yah..

Loke: When you're free in school can come see me...

ME: yah i free now... why..

Loke: no lah, in school lah... cos we need to syncronise ur timing wif ours. The speech day one you didn't come in on time...

WAH!! at this point of time i feel like punching her face can?? so idiotic... hu's the one hu needed to record their voices in the toilet huh?? hu's the one hu's pulse was like shit?!?! den can push the blame to me hor...

Loke: Look, we're going to record our song wif a recording studio... and it's(the performance) is going to be dubbed... but u cannot come along. i want you to play on that day live...

Me: ok lor...

wah cao eh, stupid loke... trying to tell me day got a lot of money to go recording studio, pushing the blame about their fricking pulse to me, and finally making me play wif them while still regarding me as an outcast... basket...

arh aniwae, i going blading wif the band members on saturday. Gonna be quite fun!! i didn't know so many ppl coming along...

YAY! so many expected surprises today can?

okok tat was meaningless, but still partly true yes? i had been waiting for the bloody instruments to come wif our band's "merry widow score" and over the months i have pushed the thoughts to the back of my mind...

den today so happy band got band again... hahaha like Joel said after the exams:" 1 whole month nvr take medicine, cannot tahan...", hahahaha(but he was referring to another thing la)

den saw all the brand-new-super-polished-euphonium's boxes, den i wondered where our marching instruments were... like, the other's instruments came 1 month after they were ordered... our marching instruments were ordered the same time as the merry widow(nice song) score, b4 balloon hat fest summore... den how le, maybe they dropped off the ship into the south china sea...

anyway, i just saw nelson's bloody lame crap blog, and suddenly i realised my blog has been disfigured, cos we share almost the same templates...

oh god, u noe wad the freaking guy talked abt??!?!! he say he dun think our band will get gold or wadeva come next year SYF, and say wad the band has got no leadership... say we need a bandmajor who's got more leadership... i think Yimei's right, he's trying to suck up to glosz and become the next 'important' guy wif a special post tat makes him feel special...

too bad lar nelson... even if u do, it might make u feel great and powerful, but if the band doesn't like ur bloody attitude, u'll be tryin to lead a band hu doesn't think good of their leader. and u're lucky im not as drama-mama as yimei or xingwen, or u'll have a whole blog dedicated to 'eradication of the nelson-attitude'.... hahaha

am i being evil??

(honestly i think nelson wun get ani other post besides librarian)

ok, nuff said except happy birthday to me....

EXAMS OVER!!!

nuff said... yeah i know it's a short entry...

yo! 4 more!!... or is it 7 less??

it's like, thinking on the positive side of life, we say that 7 exams are over!! or only 4 more!!

it's like, i was actually feeling down when i wrote my past entry.... when suddenly i remembered wad xingwen once said to me: "u percussion rite? den muz haf veri good pulse.......line dancin.......blahblahblah...."

den i thought, how come ar? den i realised percussion got more time to concentrate on pulse and rythms, no nid to learn fingering, not to mention remembering it.... den wad else?? oh, and the tone quality and all tat...

of course, it doesn't mean we learn nothing at all... in fact, we all learn something everyday.... tat's why i go back to the band rm everyday(being arrogant), see?? im trying to learn sumting else.... hahahaha

the learning of new things no nid to be taught one, sometimes people try experiments den can find out things tat others dun noe... like wad zat found out abt the double notes or sumting with special fingering....

wouldn't it be cool if our percussion section becomes like those US state high school drumlines..... u hear them rolling, u'd think ur handfone is ringing on silent(the vibration).....

but of course, they become so pro because they stick to their instruments.... like, the snare is a section by itself, the tenors are also by themselves....

concert bands' percussion also have something to be proud of... like J commented, we learn how to play sooo many instruments.... we have to learn how to play all, sumting i have not yet achieved completely.... i can't sight read notes, everytime muz count den find the note on the keyboard....

J? i think auxillary refers to small instruments, really...

yah aniwae, i going to mope around the house wif nothing to do again... gotta go...

why everytime muz write based on wad somebody said ar??

5 more papers to go!!!

I feel like i'm gonna flunk everything... never felt so unconfident in my whole secondary school life...

then the exams also like so late into the morning, everyday wake up at 6 becos of biological clock then see my bro getting ready for school den realise i still got 3 hours to go... haiz... why cannot same time wan?!?!

the bloody papers also so darn hard... all so different from previous years...
ENGLISH P1 and P2- both so hard... i think i wrote out of point
CHINESE P1 and P2- the hardest subject i ever encountered in my whole life...
Biology- i've never seen this format of exam paper b4, so crap, want to poke hole to tie the string the paper tear one big hole at the corner...
A math- so hard can?? finish the paper only left 10 mins, then redo those i dunno how to do, in the end one whole question dunno how to do...
social studies- the hardest subject in the world, after chinese, at least i understand the language rite...

tomorrow is emath P2, it's set me thinking about how stupid our school is to put paper 2 on the first few days and paper 1 on the very last day... quite stupid...

still got Physics, Chemistry, Geog(die) and the math P1 next week.... argh... i can't wait for the exams to end...

oh yah, to EUGENE... is the band room going to be open on thursday(last day of the exams), friday, saturday and the next monday? cos i dunno whether that saturday will have practice onot...

this brings us back to the "few words" that eugene told us on the day we stacked up the chairs... he said"blahblahblah.... your hands will get slower.... blahblahblah..."...

never man... i'm gonna practice everyday on the pillow or blanket or sumting, even the exam table.... no way i'm gonna let them go slower...

i just realised this: percussionist don't really noe the meaning of "as long as a quaver", or semi-quaver, whichever u like... cos, we just need to noe when to hit, it's like holding the sound for a veri short note... only if we play the vibrofone then will have to really understand the meaning of it... haiz... doesn't it mean we're inferior???

joel said this to me once:" percussionist can never get a career in musical studies, unless study musical instruments...." true rite?? cos we dun understand embrochure(how the heck u spell this) or articulation or wadeva crap, wad water treatment oso i dun understand.... we are the most un-musically tuned people in any band.... makes me quite sad...

inferiority....
