Band concert today! Lots of thanks to everyone! Screwed it up but somehow I still feel really happy... :D
Band practice in the morning from 10 to 1 was quite alright cos it was such a breeze and with my warmed up lips, pitching the concert high F was quite simple... We ran through all our concert pieces swiftly as Jin Hao and Kun Won recited their lines... Jin Hao has the funny but nice China-tone and it really contrasted with Kun Won's english accent... Very nice...
We had lunch that was totally sucky and at the canteen and continued practice at 2pm... This time, my lips are already hurting, especially with my ulcer on my gum, I could hardly pitch concert high Eb... But I
PERSISted and still could blast those big notes... Practice was quite fun also, surprisingly, and time just past by like nothing...
So at 7.10pm, the concert started... I saw Wang Wan with her NY friends! Lol.. so excited... Then halfway through the first song, Glasgow Fair, Mong, Haoquan, Alfred and others popped in to watch our concert... Too bad Daniel couldn't join them he is at the Jay Chou's concert... :'(
Everything went quite well, Clarence was damn pro in his Latin Sun solo and after American Riversong, it was my turn to narrate Bremen Town.... The mike for some reason, made my voice sooo high that I have to sort of control my narrating pitch... In the end, everyone said that I have a low voice and so... Lol.... Seriously screwed up the song and the narration.... Cos I was waiting for the eupho and tuba cue to say, "Suddenly the cat screamed..." but there was no sound coming out from the 2 instruments behind me... So i continued with that clash chord that almost everyone is playing and i said, "Me-...." cos no one except the flutes were playing the meow clash chord!!! Garr... Screwed up lorz... Damn zibei... French hns screwed up, eupho oso and all... But luckily Terence and Ivan supposedly played their solos quite well!! :D
Then during the interval, Steve suddenly told me that Wang Wan wanted to see me.. So I went to the stage and she suddenly popped at me and gave me a rose!!! Wah~~!! First time receiving flowers frm girls during a concert... What an overwhelming and happy feeling! haha... then everyone is like soooo jealous... but aiyo, people like khaiboon and teng en have like more flowers lor cos teng en is like soooo shuai and khai boon is sooo popular until the whole audience was literally chanting "Boon boon.. Boon boon..." when he received the best section award for his section...
But something bad happened! After the concert, I moved the percussion instrument and when I returned for my instrument and the precious real rose that is sooooo beautiful... It was gone! Holy.... Then i though maybe terence took it to the band room but I was wrong... Hmmm... Then I went back to drama centre to find it and saw steve holding 3 roses, which one of them look really like my lost beloved rose.. Nevertheless, I didn't ask him for it cos he was talking to Wang Wan at that time so I didn't dare to ask...By the time, the girls went home, Steve went back to the boarding school! Sigh.... Good things never last.... Better believe it.. :P
Then Terence, Ivan and I went to KAP with Teng En, KhaiBoon, Ernest and JJ... They are such great company in my opinion... Although i still don't really talk much to Teng En cos i am still rather intimidated by him... Lol... Sigh.. Khaiboon is going back to M'sia tmr and he wished me an early happy birthday... That's like sooo sweet... And JJ and ernest were busy mocking Terence and everyone joined in...It's like a tradition in band to improve on eupho-saxa relations by mocking a certain person... Unfortunately, it's terence cos well, firstly he's fat and secondly he doesn't react that much to the mockery but laughs at it himself at times...
So at about 11.30, I boarded the 74 bus and opened the early bday present gave me.... Wah~ He's really damn good lor... Give me such nice things! Got bear (cute... hugging it rite now!), Wrist holder for mouse...Using it now too and a friendship keychain which I chained it onto my pencil case... but a word of advice for sean, next time when you are giving people something, kindly remove the price tags first... haha... but it's really sweet.. he also have a card to encourage me to grow taller... :)
Wowie... 12.30am now... so i guess i am going to sleep now... wad a great day! lolz
