whew. been getting home so late that i haven't had time to blog about the last 2 days.... i think i'll go in reverse, saturday first.
saturday was a day of small successes. had my first decent sleep for a week (8 hours, from 3 to 11), then went for band prac. yinrui's back! =) heh. we sorted out some of the mess in the band room and varese. and i'm glad to know that nothing's changed between us. somehow or other my double stroke roll improved =/ why couldn't it have improved the day before when i was competing with my juniors. but i'll come to that later. after band prac was hanxin's surprise birthday party. OH before that something funny happened with me and oura. ask if u want the details ^^ anyway due to unforeseen circumstances (cos we were packing up in the band room and cos we went to j8 to get a present for hanxin), we were late to her party. they cut the cake without us (us being me, yinrui, jeff and venetia.) =/ heh but the later bbq was fun la. apparently before we came, my batch guys, yang bin and jermyn were having an interesting conversation about screws while setting up the bbq stand =) there were 3 bbq stands altogether. heh i started the first fire =) even though mine was the last to be lit cos there was only 1 lighter and 1 fire tongs..... lol i think im continuing the tradition. cos in the j2 batch boon's the proest firestarter. heh my shifu. yup. then the guys and i were fooling around with the soccer ball before the bbq and after it. did something that i nv could do before: popped the ball up and headed it. =) quite cheap thrill la but hey, it's an achievement. after everything ended i walked from hanxin's house all the way back to the macritchie 156 bus stop. quite a fun walk. got home at around 11, played electone til 12. finally mastered the first cycle of circle line =) in case anyone's interested, the song's by reiko kashiwagi. go check it out. okay now friday. friday was Prometheum XI, the biannual RI band concert. what can i say, it was amazing. it really was. watching my juniors on stage, doing so well (even with all the screwups that i could see, cos i played the songs before), just made me feel proud, and more than a little bit ashamed. i realised that i really didn't do much to help them along. their accomplishments are really their own. kudos to brian for his timpani skills =) lol if you're reading this, u still remember the time when u couldn't tune on your own? you've really come a long way. congrats for a unforgettable Prometheum XI. Perc solis and ensemble were good. could see u guys practiced a lot. and the pacing of the 2nd half was nice too, with the sax ensemble, lower woodwinds joining in, perc ensemble, and the very well-done whistle while you work. gj guys. yar after the concert me, nar and zhu went to mac's again to talk nonsense and gossip about our missing sectionmate =) all the way til 11 pm. so now u know why i slept so late. oh yes and lastly: during the break we went backstage to find them, and for some reason or other we competed on strokes. what can i say, i got owned >< right hand bah. time to prac more. |
