Recount of the past two boring and tiring days:
Thursday - Ok, I knew that it will happen. After such a nice Wednesdae, Thurs and Friday were hell!
OK, so I took a bus to school wif my large bag, with the plastic bag of the sandals dangling and my green bulky sleeping bag and sat on the bus like always... A bumpy ride larh... So when I alighted, I was a little giddy and was dragging my bagpack literally to school.
So we were allocated to our classrooms. For our euphonium section, there was only me and and terence so we had to share the classrm with the trumpets section wif Dion, Clarence and Zhu Hui. The horn's section [ccb] shared wif the flutes and the saxas shared with tubas and the tbone shared wif the percussion section. OK, so tt's tt and we went immediately back to band rm to do more boring stuff..
Firstly, we had to stock check all our instruments. Ok, we have onli 2 pple in our section, so how many instrus are there to check? Phew, a small number of err... 9 instruments! OK, so we finished our job veri quickly and moved on to cleaning, oiling of valves and greasing of slides in no time at all. Lucky for us but poor thing for trumpets and trombones sections. There were near 40 instruments for 2 pple in their section to stock check and they were alreadi half-dead just carrying the instrus from the outdoor band rm to the indoor one at EP3 block.
Ok, so after that we had our lunch... Erm, did I mention lunch? Bllearhh... We had nasty long beans, quirky tofu and other healthy ingredients u can find... Totally gross, the only thing nice was the chicken... Then I went to see Laurang to get my MRP back and give her the IH play sypnosis and went off for more score-packing. It was tedious but fun as it wasn't as tiring as the stock check... Then we had erm.. some free time and we waatched the football league and stuff... Then went bathing...
Hahaz, ok after tt we have dinner... Yum-yum, we have hash brown, some nicer veges, chicken and yummy potatoes! Burpz... Veri nice and I loved it... Then at 7.40pm, the whole lot went to the band room but it was not opened so evryone waited outside... Hahaz, then yiyi came and sae 'So cute!' at me... Erm... I was wearing my navy t-shirt and shorts onli wad... But he looks veri cute oso, cos' he looked very blur and dazy with that $2 plain white shirt and khaki shorts.... Btw, Sean is in penang, kun won is at korea and rujun's at genting so I thot I very bored in band camp but got Terence and Yiyi, then band camp a lil bit nicer...
Then Khai Boon told us to go and take the supper from the green store auntie and I missed the boring warm-ups! yeah :P... Then when it was my turn for tuning again, Mr. Lim and Yeo kana angry again and Mr. Yeo brought mi outdoors to correct my tone. He kept emphasising on my throat to be open and breathe wif my diaphragm... He says tt kun won can actualli hear my tone and I give him total respect for being more qiang than me. I mean, yesh kun won is definitely more qiang than mi ever since the first day he switched from tuba to eupho section. I think he makes a good SL but he needs to work on the respect for the juniors to listen to him. I think terence have the same problem now. Good luck aniwaez...
Then we played Jump Swing Fever, sounded crappy and it was 10pm = Supper Time!!!We had bee hoon and milo and then we went back to our respective classrm to slp... Sleep? Of cos' not! I popped into the saxa's rm and they sort of welcomed me (cos' i thot they always attitude mi cos i am a geper) and we played bluff until the size grew from 4 to erm... 11!!! Yes! And Mr. Lim oso participated in our game too! He's a bad liar though. cos' I kept catching him bluffing and Damien sitting bside, of cos' oso keep catching mi... Then Teng En' said tt I am a cheater and I cheat in evry card I put unless I have more than 20 of them... The record holder of cos' was sparstic yet act-innocent but very farni Ernest who got all 52 cards in the game! Lolz... Very entertaining.. Then I went back to the Eupho-trumpet room at abt 2am and slept....
