Just came back from school... so tired now!! Anyway, the etude concert was pretty interesting... shall start right from the top now...

Reached NJ at 7.20am... actually the band members were excused from school today, budden I decided to come to school, partly because I dun want to fall behind my work and partly because the rest of the members wanted to come as well... however, when I left home, I saw Lee Pei's msg that said that the rest of the band ppl not gg anymore... so no choice still came to school...

Finally had the chance to stand with the class for morning assembly... actually I think that standing with band is nicer than with class... cause the back of the parade square is less crowded and its easier to crap around with ppl... I was like so hot standing in the parade square lor... sweat just trickled down my forehead, arms and back... soaked up one whole packet of tissues in just like 10 mins...

Went for a total of 3 lessons today: Chem tutorial, math lecture and math remedial. Chem was pretty fun today... less stressed abt chem now... cause food chem relatively easier to understand... had to write down the answer to a question on the board... luckily Jacq din sae that I was writing an essay again... anyway think I was quite rude (again) to Mr Gwee... cause I was asking SC and WD and the rest if they want to watch Shrek 2 tmr (later I mean... look at the time!) den showed them the postcard (that I will explain later) and just left it on the table. Unfortunately, it caught the eye of Mr Gwee and I think he wanted to reach out and take the card... budden I just swept it under SC's book swiftly. Wasn't deliberate one, cause din wan him to see the reverse side... think I am very rude to him. Not long ago (think was Monday) I was about 10 to 15 mins late for his lesson cause I had to go puke in the toilet...den I knocked on the door pretty softly... budden din want to disrupt the lesson so I just walked in without saying anything... later Soo Chin asked if I was pissed or wad... cause I walked in w/o even greeting... but I really din mean to be rude one...

Anyway, math lect was pretty okie lah (this one cannot elaborate too much. It's Wen Dtin and I's secret)... could manage to stay awake for 50 mins... but the last 10 mins was really tiring... eyelids shutting... luckily I din fall sleep (as in I had ever fallen asleep in school before)

Actually I think I let down Mr Lim as well... cause I couldn't manage to complete the past few tutorials and had to submit late assignments... feel really bad about that... den just now during remedial I din do much also, cause I was leaving for band soon at that time. But Mr Lim was very nice, automatically lengthened the day of submission for my assignment. Thanks for being so understanding!!

Left for band at about 12 noon... budden the band room was still not open, so I went to the canteen to find Royston first... had a short chat with him... den went for band... at first wanted to conduct sectionals with my section... budden see like they very sian, so decided to pass them their rewards (the pretty ex drink) and told them to go over to the canteen to drink as a section... pretty fun lah... could bond with the section... den everyone started passing gifts around... Crystal bought chocs for the guys and Anusha bought Famour Amos Cookies.. den we just ate and drank together... summore still yum seng in the canteen... pretty loud... think attracted a lot of attention!!

After that started preparing to go over to VCH... did quite a lot of stuff... like moving percussion, checking the instruments for the section, making head counts, collecting money, distributing concert booklets, checking uniforms and alot alot more... finally could get on the bus... sat beside Anusha... pretty funny lah... kept on laughing thruout the whole journey... she still said smthin like its a bus journey from hell... am I really that bad? Hahah... I am like so nice to everyone lor!!

Had a horrible mishap at VCH... actually was just trying to help Rachel to screw the screws more tightly on her instrument, to make it easier to play, but in the end made it worse... until she could not play... felt really bad about it.... in the end could not pinpoint the exact screw that caused that problem... so had to use plaster to fix the notes...

Actually was pretty scared that Soo Chin, Tzyy Yih and the rest would come late... cause din want them to miss the first piece, which I personally thot was the best piece... budden in the end found out that they came on time... din miss anything... luckily.

The first half was pretty bad I thot, cause the audience kept on clapping at all the wrong parts, den I kept on sweating, my specs kept on coming off, den realised din check if my collar was neat, the salivia kept on dripping of the barrel, and the conductor even conducted wrongly!!

However, the interval was great.. received a lot of flowers...

Okie got to stop here... really fatigued... tmr den con't

Anyway, the Shrek postcard was given to my father by his company, which deals with Nestle products. The reversed of the Shrek postcard was attached with 4 free tickets to an exclusive screening of Shrek 2 tmr (or later) with free door gifts and breakfast reception... finally found 3 people to go with me... budden not really looking forward to it... cause still must travel so far... think not worth it for a cartoon...
