Hahah... been kind of busy lately... so couldn't blog entries as long as before... so shall make up for it by writing a long entry today!! Think will take me another 1 to 2 hours to type again... hahah!! Anyway, in the morning was talking to Soo Chin and Shufen about blogs den realised that Soo Chin printed out a couple of my entries for Wen Dtin to read... den suddenly a thought came across me... maybe next time I can print out all my entries and create a book out of it... pretty cool right?? Think can be best seller!!

Okie... shall start all the way from the beginning... in the morning woke up at about 7am cause there's gonna be band prac at 9am... when I wore my specs, found that it was really uncomfortable... think its because the night before I fell asleep while watching "The Mummy returns"... den sorta bent my glasses... so spent like 15 to 20 mins trying to adjust back my glasses... din dare to bend too hard... cause the last time I tried to bend my glasses back to its original state, it broke... still pretty sad about it... cause it took me so long to get adjusted to that pair of frameless specs and less than 1 year later it broke... so had to get this pair of glasses, which is really uncomfortable!! It din fit my head the very first day I started wearing it... went back to the optician like 4 times in one week cause really cannot stand it... anyway, thats why I often had to take off my glasses during school time to relax my eyes... and the worst thing is that it always slips off!! Haiz... sometimes really wished I could get that pair of cool specs that I've like always wanted (think my clique shld noe)... but too ex lah... hahah!!

Okie anyway, after that went to school... reached school really early!! Reached at 8.25am... 35 mins before band started lor... summore the band room wasn't even open!! So had to wait outside the band room till Shuhui came... anyway, all the teachers had to attend a workshop... saw a lot of teachers going to the santuary... even greeted Mr Lim when he walked pass... anyway, the band room finally opened at around 8.30 plus... set up my instrument.. den realised that the condition of the instrument was worse than a few days back... now cannot play a lot of notes... A LOT!! Budden din bring my clarinet mouthpiece... so got stuck playing the instrument... thinking of playing the alto clarinet instead.. cause the part is relatively more challenging than the bass clarinet's part... so maybe this Sat can switch to an alto clarinet...

Had a long warmup session... played until my mouth got pretty tired... after that had sectionals... hahah always look forward to sectionals.. cause dun have to play mah... at first moved the section to the fountain area one... budden Miss Chua said that there was a psychometric accessment test for scholars... so had to move somewhere else... in the end went to the area outside the staffroom, the area where Miss Phua always meet the NE reps...as there were no proper chairs around so the section had to sit scatteredly... so the sectional was pretty hard to conduct... summore had to practice 2 new scores... pretty foreign to me, so made a few mistakes whilst conducting... really have to apologise to my section for stopping so that I can correct my own mistakes... hahah!! Summore haven conducted for weeks... so my whole arm really ached... wonder how conducters can conduct for such a long time without being tired at all...

After a while got called back to the band room... cause received complains that the band were too loud (confirm not my section)... after that had combined... got pretty pissed at something... so din really play too well... summore my instrument spoilt so made me more pissed... actually I wasn't very sure wad I was not happy about... just felt generally pissed... well anyway after that had a 15 mins break... managed to get myself some food to bring to the stone table to eat... den crapped with Shufen and Soo Chin...after that saw my grouping for the band camp... not really happy at my group... but its okie lah... cause the purpose of camps are for people to mix... althou I have to say I am really not very good at such stuff... pretty introvert... but once I get to know the person well I can start crappin a lot... so only have a small group of close frens...

Anyway, Mr Ho came shortly... think at 12 noon... den spoke about the alumni performance for the 35th anniversary school dinner at Swissotel... think its at 12 June... he had to pick out some of the J1s for the performance cause the alumni doesn't have enuff instrumentation... den he came to us (bass clarinet section) and said maybe one of us (me or Rachel) may have to perform... cause there are no J1 bass clarinetists... ah... so sian lor... that means have to practice the scores again... summore I cannot communicate with the alumni one lor... haiz... hope he will forget about the thing and dun ask me to perform...

The band practice ended late again lor... actually supposed to end at 1pm... den ended at 1.25pm... cause Mr Ho wanted to listen to "Highlights from Chess" so had to play for him... and he took this piece "celebrations" for us to play... so long!! 6 pages lor (but still not the longest that I have played... think longest was 9 pages... stretched to about 20 mins I think... but really enjoyed it.. cause got a lot of bass clarinet solos) ... play until so sian... summore the score really very chicken feat lor... can close one eye to play one... hahah... this is the advantage of playing a bass instrument... always no need to practice one... cause the scores are always so easy!! Anyway, the song wasn't really that nice... based on the name thot that it would be those majestic blockbuster pieces... after playing thot it sounded like those children songs!!

Rushed for chem lect after band... almost late lor... ran till I was sweaty all over... den realised that the OHT had really small words... so had to shift in front... budden still couldn't see very well... den copy until I got headache... and partly cause I din eat much for the whole of today... anyway think that sitting in the front of the LT is really good lor... cause very conducive for listening for lectures... think we should all sit more to the front next time for lectures lor!! All lectures I mean... ALL!!

Think Miss Aw's consolidation was pretty good... esp the tables... think it will really help in studying for food chem... after that Mr Gwee lectured on meat colours... had to turn to look at Royston when he started lecturing... cause Royston said he always had a headache every time Mr Gwee lectures... saw him putting his hand at the side of his head... still think he was faking... hahah!! Royston seemed to be in a streak of bad luck recently... com got attacked by viruses twice, had to reformat his com, summore his new phone was faulty and he got 'cheated' of his money (the phone incident)... hope his 'power of three' can help him this time round!! Hahah!!

After the lecture went to look for Mrs Khoo with Wen Dtin and Wee Keong... found out that she had left already... so couldn't ask her the question... den Wee Keong and Wen dtin kept on suaning me again... hahah!!

Following that, we went over to the rifle range for WK to retrive his target cards and took 852... WK very funny har... want to take DIFFERENT bus today... but in the end we all took 852 together... haiz... got cheated by them yet again to take the bus all the way to Yishun... argh!! I so soft hearted... always got 'blackmailed' by them... actually we wanted to drop down at AJC to go in for fun... budden at the last min we decided not too... cause too hum... worried that we would get caught and have our names sent back to school for disciplinary actions... anyway, WK was looking at my msgs and then he commented that the msgs that I send were all very formal, hardly any short hand... are my messages very formal?? I noe I dun use shorthand, cause I am scared that people wun understand my short forms ... esp after that super horrible embarrassing incident happened which still made me so pai seh up till now... like a horrible nightmare!! Except its worse... its real!! Anyway, I dun use shorthand when copying notes as well.. cause I am worried that I wun understand my own shorthand later when I revise... so I take a lot of time to copy my notes... But are my msgs very formal?? I think pretty okie wad...

Finally reached Northpoint... had lunch at BK with Wee Keong... Wen dtin wasn't there, cause she had to go shopping with her mum... den later went over to Popular... saw a lot of books that brought back nostalgic memories... like those secondary textbooks that I used to have...

Okie... got some problems that cropped up... think I am tearing down my blog... so treasure the last few entries that I am gonna post these few days...
