I guess I am really starting to enjoy the joys of being an SL... had sectionals today... but there is a twist to today's sectionals... we had cross sectionals with the clarinet section!! Arranged with Cleopas to have combined bass and clarinet sectionals today so that the two different sections can listen to each other's parts in order to play better. Actually we were supposed to have our sectionals at the area beside the linkway, budden it was so noisy and so crowded... so in the end we had it at the stone tables area... that area is great!! So condusive for playing... and no one goes there.. so it was so enjoyable playing over there...

Anyway, Joyce, Shufen and Soo Chin were there also... so they were quite lucky... had a free concert... at first quite nerve wrecking lah... cause I had never conducted the clarinet section before... and the combined section was so big lor... almost 30 people!! My legs even shook lor... but I masked it pretty well lah... think no one noticed... anyway it was really cool to finally conduct scores with both the bass line and the melody... felt like conducting a mini band of my own!! And, I finally mustered my courage to let my 'baton' leave the stand (meaning: I finally did free hand conducting!! No more the metronome, but instead a real conductor). Best of all, all a lot of reviews that my conducting was actually not bad!! Like a real professional!! Really very happy lor! Think I will ask for more of such sectionals soon!!

Anyway, today was a pretty nice day... at first I was really dreading today one... cause its such a long and boring day... but it was actually pretty nice!! During GP found out that Mrs Yap wasn't here... supposed to do an essay... but ended up talking with ppl... bio tutorial was nice... with Ms Loh talking about her encounter with the Salmonella bacteria... Math tutorial was interesting too, cause I finally catched up with my work in the nick of time... even PE was great... cause there was a soccer match gg on... so we kinda slacked... played squash for the first time in my life today... so embarrassing... even fell down lor!!

Okie... really have to stop here... got lotsa hw to do... really looking forward to tmr... cause I am going out!!
