- take a chem paper that was actually doable - end at 1030am - home by 1130am - nice bath - nice lunch - off to lib to mug phy
aye today i do chem until damn happy la. although aiyah i still think i won't do as well as i talk haha but really today ah chem paper can actually write down stuff that actually got link to the question one la. maybe its cause got all the periodicity and crap then can smoke spam rubbish haha but aiyah. OH AND OMG I PWN KSP i do until damn happy omg walao should be more than 4 marks la. sian sian sian. but i think the last part the pH of the buffer got careless mistake. oh well. but still! actually can see that do pink book liao can do question leh. walao damn damn damn happy cause got like use practicing la.
maybe its like daryl said cause i studied least for chem that's why when it comes i'm happy that i can write stuff. not that i can't complete some questions for me this time the glass is half full for maths, the glass was half empty.
aye but i'm like self-dellusional la. i think got quite a lot of wrong. esp organic chem omg haha horrible la. but aye don't want to burst my happy bubble. its so rare that i feel happy after doing a paper.
okay! off to have lunch! then uhhh mug physics. maybe heehee.
[edit]
okay back from library mugging hahah yay library is nice its quiet (most of the times) haha and had fun randomly msging ppl like SHENG HENG. who hasnt replied my merry christmas msg yet. "merry christmas 07! and have a happy 2008!"
hahaha it was SO LOL sending a laggy msg to sheng heng. haha no damn sian liao dun feel like studying physics v iffy depends whether i can apply on the spot tmr or not hah cause i really don't know what kinds of questions to expect just memorise formulas and understand basic concepts then just anyhow whack tmr. :D:D:D

2:45 PM ):
9.45pm
oh god sucks like shit la today's maths was so horrible! esp since i was banking on maths to save my sorry ass. ahhh really omg omg wtf. lucky there was frisbee after blocks just throw about a bit and play a short match and sort of relieve my anger and THEN THERE'S BAND (L) DINNER sort of la the same 10 or so ppl loh.
but still after all those are over maths still comes back to haunt me. maths wtf.
WTF.
oh no the first page was really wtf. and second question omg omg omg. WALAO I FORGOT CAN USE GC TO DO INEQUALITIES. and then i manually do out and got some cubic equation like omgshit. wth la ): ): ):
and second page wasn't much better either oh well oh well. i did manage to write a lot of shit but still. aye i don't think it works anymore quality over quantity again.
oh well and stats was to be my saving grace omg omg it was okay the sampling was i dunno i'm like genius i studied 5 mins of stats and i can do! yay happy okay maybe its a lot of common sense but still at that stage i'm easily excitable. mmm and binomial poisson was okayyy mm then oh probability! hahaha DIE. and question 14. DIE. how i know what's mean and variance for normal! the formula booklet only got for binomial and poisson la. asdk;asld. i calculated. i didn't get final ans for 48 marks worth of question. means. well. big fat U again.
aye its so demoralising. i think this paper's the most pwnage la. daryl says its cause i mugged hardest for maths then still can't do. dunno la. i think now chem and physics will probably get higher than maths.
ah its so like deja vu last blocks i mugged for chem and chem only and chem came out a killer this time i did most for maths and the maths paper was so... guailan. the questions don't relate to the orange book at all! so doing like a hundred plus pages of maths wasn't enough i guess argh sucks la.
i don't know i thought maths was really really bad. i felt so horrible inside while doing maths and what made it worse was that the stupid invigilator walao she damn motherf she come collect my paper that time she went like
aye you finish very early right? i see you staring at the wall very long liao. you canoeist is it cause now they got the what ah, season. never study ah so poor thing...
like really wtf la. i was like no, no i'm not a canoeist la and yes i did study really! but uhh inside i dunno. i guess she shouldn't have done that. worse still when she reached bennybanana.
AIYOH! are you sure that's all? (cause i think he used v few pieces of paper) aiyoh so poor thing...
she go poor thing here poor thing there and just ridicule people here and there like telling keli to go back to nursery cause he didn't know how to tie a knot and slapping dion's hand for spamming her name on every single sheet of paper and then double- and triple- checking that every page had her name.
i don't know i thought that was rather mean of her maybe sean will grow up to be a teacher like that hurr.
aye maths was bad. now what's left to save me is chem and physics paper 1 and 2 loh. aiyah it sucks so bad la.
its just this horrible feeling when you put all your eggs in one basket. (okay almost all) and then DIE. flattened. like. i dunno. and now, as always i have to pick myself up, as always sigh, and then, as always i do what i have to do. grin and bear it, and move on with life. there's nothing else i can do really.
blocks are so unpredictable. whenever you think they're going to throw everything they've got at you hence don't study they give you a relatively easy paper and vice versa i can't be bothered to elaborate. i think we all know. in that sense its hard to study la cause i dunno i'm super far behind everytime i catch up in one subject i fall behind in another yea so have to accurately predict which subject to mug for. if not.. uhh.. die loh.
when you realise the time you spent mugging without end results could be done doing more useful stuff like helping retarded kids lead better lives like helping the earthquake victims in china like travelling around the world maybe. like learning how to fly a plane maybe. like going to africa to see majestic lions. doing things that help make change. (okay not the lions bit but i really want to see african lions!) everytime i think about these and then i wonder what the hell i'm doing in school. it's just so meaningless.
and its so hard to study effectively la. at least like in frisbee if i throw the damn disc 1000 times i know that my forehand's going to get more stable with band i'm sure if i tune for 20 hours i'll get my note in tune. but studying's so much different la everytime i study i don't see any change. at all. if anything it just seems to get worse. its so demoralising.
i think people who know me for a long long time (okay actually even a short time would suffice) would know how much i hate mugging and it has taken a herculean effort on my part to actually do like revision for blocks. its like. high inertia. a lot of effort is needed to push a bit. and no its not momentum no matter how much i study its still going to take me this much effort to mug that little bit. but its like a futile attempt la. when there's so much input and so little (or none at all) outcome it just makes sense to stop doing it altogether doesn't it.
everytime i feel like giving up i just remind myself that its just 144 more days. and then no more studying for a long long time. that's how much i hate studying really. like ken yeow said no matter how hard it is, it will come to an end.
but then again. 144 days is forever. ): because cider is the elixir of life

4:05 AM (:
11.04pm
yay i'm home! haha okayy physics quite lol go there take one hour take paper one hour 25 mins then come home another one hour. reached home at like uhh 1045am i guess my mum just woke up.
haha today physics was rather fun i think. like ytd's chem loh ytd chem is paper 3 lots of written work so those dunno how to do then just smoke here and there lo like put this random thing and another no link thing and get sensible ans! (which turns out to be wrong afterall)
today's physics, HAD FORMULAS. haha funnnnn la dunno i just put this formula and this formula tgt cancel out this and that then ANSWER. haha aye is correct ans somemore. most of it (so far) la. and is cause i ask v little questions cause the more i ask the more wrongs i get.
haha then damn malu also cause i sit in hall sit at the front ma then the paper is from 8.15am - 9.40am. then at first i do do do then do until head messy then i thought end at 9.25am then walao siao chiong like crazy then the teacher in front also look at me like i some idiot like that. haha then walao i see dunno then skip then skip skip skip until exactly 9.25am i finish liao. then mr rem was saying into the mike "YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES LEFT." and haha i stun for like 0.5s then heh damn paiseh hahah i think the teacher in front laughing like crazy in her head la.
walao but okay la got time to do those that i skipped. mmm generally okay la like a bit screwed only. OH OH OH. QUANTUM PHYSICS OMG. okay make that very screwed. walao the last question 20 marks on quantum physics la which i didn't study much except for the formula only. walao then stupid la just anyhow smoke my way through. and wth who really cares what the first law of thermodynamics is! can't they just ask us to explain triangle U = q + w why call it first law of thermodynamics walao ehhhhhhhh. alskjdlkasjkjas.
aiyah anw. its over! haha quite fun la. mmmm and we get to go home early somemore! haha yay (: now uhhh go library join daryl for umm maths after i eatshowermaybesleepawhilereadnewspapertoommmhmm.
oh and daryl yee i will not be late. haha i've been late just twice only! hmph! because cider is the elixir of life

1:27 PM XD
8.26pm
hahah yayy today's econs paper. wow. like ohnoshitshitshit hahah
cause they said tested ALL j2 syllabus and just market failure for j1 stuff so i was like since got 2 essay question and 1 drq essay question sure one micro one macro econs then drq SHOULD be macro la how to market failure 30 marks yea so i didn't do j1 micro econs at all.
drq was indeed macro econs. so yea okay la smoke a bit but nvm but essay. wow. both questions all market failure! hahah oh no like ah. ah. ah. ah. haha in the end i just smoke a lot a lot through didn't really write a lot but oh well when you got nothing to start with 5 pages is quite a lot i guess.
hha anyway on to another disaster tmr. CHEM HOHOHO. many tutors said it'd be abt the same standard as BT1. which is quite gg really but oh well try to write sth i guess haha ah sucks la. i'm just going to try to spot qns since its just paper 3 tmr. then if wrong then too bad loh. ): because cider is the elixir of life

1:39 PM
8.40pm
haha okay today marks the start of blocks haha i really want to write a big fat EPIC FAILURE but that'll come from tmr onwards i guess its not that bad yet.
haha walao today took gp paper in probably my worst condition very tired sleepy headache probably due to tiredness very hungry like omg REALLY REALLY HOT (and stuffy). and rather unprepared.
walao i prepared stats for uh alternative fuels don't ask me why but its just like that yea then got all the heliostats and water-powered cars and then NO SINGLE QUESTION CAME OUT ABT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES whine whine whine moan moan moan. and to compound matters kelvin tan made me throw away my milo before the exam so no energy source during the essay. i nearly died.
anw hai i bucked my trend and wrote a conventional essay aye wait this came out in the exam. whether the process or the product was more impt in education.
walao in the past i used to think that writing essays were fun. the essays i used to write were more argumentative than instructive.
like: what makes a man a hero all that glitters is not gold what makes a well-educated person humour is the best defence against life
today, i went for the results i wrote a very standard essay modern advertising. i mean, i don't know everytime i write an essay on moral issues and such augy doesn't seem to like it i never got more than 22/50 this year i think and at this point of time product more impt than process so yea i wrote a v standard essay how bad can advertising get? (i hope)
dunno spammed a lot hmm like 4 and maybe 1/3 sides but i think its more of quantity than quality hai its quite saddening to write such a dull and lifeless essay but if it gets the marks then i can't complain. ):
hai okay but the room was really really stuffy almost to the point of suffocating. dunno the air-con like not working leh then my side the fan not switched on the windows and doors also closed. walao then super hot i was almost sweating la. at some point halfway i wanted to walk out to blow wind a bit but decided against it cause i scared later no time. lucky, cause i barely made it. a very short 3 line conclusion.
anw that's abt it for gp. compre was uhh quite tough i think everything minus aq maybe. aq i wrote 2 full pages so happy yay plus another 3 line conclusion i really JUST finished in time this time. like really full-stop then pens down liao. aye but the front part i think quite tricky leh a lot of funny questions like the punch in the face question and the summary too easy liao when you got just nice roughly 130 words to write you know something's missing somewhere. oh well but what to do.
and i don't know what's arbiters. aiyah but its over. NOW FOR ECONS. which i'm not really done with.
sucks la its like super lot of application la today after lunch at serene me rujun and sean studied (of tried to study) (or maybe didn't really try at all) and then i see the econs like everything all common sense leh but dunno later know then dunno how to apply also will die so aiyah very unsure la.
speaking of which RUJUN. FOR YOU.
and this is for sean to prove that i haven't lost his friend-SHIP. aye i finally realised what the ship inside's supposed to mean yay.

yay haha PICTURES! okay picture as in singular. haha ay actually got a lot more but i lazy upload la so yea just the group photo will do!
haha yay AC people are nice wouldn't mind having another friendly with them oh and here's where sijie gets hit by a girl apparently meijun's not the only girl who slaps.
ah sucks stupid supervised study session (SSS) walao when i first go in damn intimidating la like super lot of ppl yet super quiet. its like when the hydrogen bomb first explodes you here no sound just - silence. yea equally quiet here. nuts la. its quite like a prison really.
aye but a while only la. after the first brave guy talks the dam breaks and we all talk like crazy alrdy
wah but still hai (more) productive la i did the other half of integration the whole of DE yay and finally started on econs. actually when i write it down it seems okay for 8 hours but then at that time it took herculean effort to finish them.
okay la effective but aiyah i really hate that place its so dead like. piak. really felt like running away to the uhh A300 that the band ppl found. PRISON BREAK.
hai just 4 more days. 32 more hours. grrr.

okay yay this week was an unproductive week which makes it A REALLY FUN WEEK YAY.
hah YAY started with monday BAND J2 OUTINGGGGGG!
went to school a lil earlier for some last minute frisbee mm yay fun went to solidify whatever we learnt umm then yea a while like 2 hours only then went off first yay
haha okay anw sentosa was the usual la ball games more ball games and water games. and sean's on-the-spot game FUNNNNN..
aye haha overall it was really nice la just to be with the batchmates from sean swearing really loudly everywhere to really random jumpshots all the way till phototaking time. YAY
cindy meijun cheryl sharine weely junjie sean rujun chin seng me weiguo siyao yay haha
♥ hcband 07/08!
tuesday was probably the best day of the hols like really i don't know why but still.
WOW. one word. haha yay today was fun like crazy la despite umm getting thrashed i dunno at the start still v tentative or sth but at the end just heck care and just play for the fun of it
haha ac split their teams really into first team second team we auto-balanced both teams hmm but there's this really huge GULF in caps and underlined between their first and second teams screw daryls played against the first team lost 15-1 jackhammers played the second team won 12-0 which umm yea shows their great divide in standards haha but no we won't do that cause it sows discord amongst the people what great english.
anyway yea it was great just to play for the fun of it la and great to play as runner once again! haha it was okayyyy until coach told me to play handler cause handlers all cramped up (ironic how handlers just stand and throw while runners run like nuts and at the end of the day the handlers cramp up) then DISASTER boom! aha i'm even more convinced i can't handle for nuts.
hmm but yea it was a great game overall. they weren't as godlike as we thought (either that or we weren't as bad as we imagined) hmm and yea we had fun basically just go there get the experience learn loads of stuff at the same time. and just push ourselves to the limit. really. LIKE LAYOUTS hahah yay layout count was like AC none hwach ALL. that's abt the only thing we can harp abt. but yay yay yay it was fun.
idk but 4 hours seemed like a long time at the end of the matches it seemed like eternity since i came to school in slippers and met the others at the umm 78 bench i think. even daryl forgot i owe him 10 pumping for being late. (technically i wasn't late! i said earliest 9am)
hmm then kungfu panda which was umm good cause can just like laugh and relax but umm not so good cause nb keep cramping during the movie la eeeeeeeyer. hhaha but its a stupid movie la. anw its like $6 student rate :D
haha but aye at the end of the day ah aching like crazy. go up the double-deckered bus also can't climb stairs la walao CRAMPSTRAINACHE.
HWACHONG WOOSH!
wednesday was class cip day lucky it rained today and not ytd i walked abt 10 steps out of my house with my umbrella and my lower half of my body got soaked like nuts instantly haha DAO-ED the "no slippers" rule heck la shoes soaked liao damn er xin can. not like it mattered anyway.
anw it was TIRING OMFG. like really despite being a group leader i wasn't bringing the kids around sentosa they were bringing me. i really really want to be a bachelor next time. goddddd the kids are really HYPERACTIVE. running around fighting getting lost playing with sand wow their umm energy is limitless.
actually i only rmbed 3 ppl from my group.
fahmi, elfi, rashika (at least that's how you pronounce them)
fahmi and elfi are i don't know tireless they just run around like monkeys they never get tired and they reminded me of a what i used to be last time haha i don't know haha but i think i was as irritating (if not worse) than them
haha i rmb last time when i was 2-3 yrs old my parents brought the family to sentosa to stay and then throughout the night i just cried and cried cause i didn't like unfamiliar places oh but i know i enjoyed the musical fountain though. anw point was they brought everyone home midnight and i was spoilt, but happy. sucks right.
ironic that the boy who didn't like unfamiliar places wants to be a pilot when he grows up.
anw haha back to wednesday 11-06-08. when i finally got fed up and tired chasing the two morons around i just daoed them and uhh talked to the girls haha and it was nicer in a way cause they were older (and hence more mature la) like p4-5 like my lil sis but they're nicer too like they share drinks and food and keep bits of their lunches for their mum.
anw this rashika girl was haha quite nice she offered to help carry the garbage no more like she didn't let anyone else touch it cause she claims she's strong okay wow wonderwoman. ah nothing la she just kept saying she wanted to go back so that she could go cycle downstairs like okay whatever.
come to think of it i think elfi looks a bit like a monkey
HELLO WEIGUO!
haha anw lessons learnt from today
#1. NEVER LEND A KID YOUR PHONE they take it and they play game immediately. or take photos.
#2. DON'T GET KIDS IF YOU'RE LAZY cause they're really hyperactive and will probably drive everyone within 20m radius nuts
#3. PLEASE KEEP YOUR KID FIT. there's this moron who was so overweight every 3 steps he climbs he has to stop to catch his breath. I'M SERIOUS and totally not exaggerating la brudderrrrr.
#4. PLEASE DYE ALL WHITE HAIR BLACK. no furthur elaboration needed i suppose.
haha actually immediately after class cip at 4.30pm i wanted to go home and be a mama's boy but NO THEY HAD TO TAKE OUT A FRISBEE HURRR. and probably due to the leftover adrenaline rush i stayed to play aha and it was nice just throwing and catching again. :D:D:D
went home at abt 8. because cider is the elixir of life

4:05 AM :D:D:D
and so here ends my 6 years in band. its just like that. and its gone! haha its so long. 6 years. 1/3 of my life. i don't think i can rmb life without band actually.
its been a long 6 years. painful at the start but definitely enjoyable at the end. i still rmb how it was a (sort of) accident i got into band i definitely didn't come to high school thinking of joining band.
aye but dunno la. sean was my first friend in high school and he joined band. so i follow loh. something like that la.
oh god you won't know how long i've been searching for this.
HELLO SEAN CHIA. i rmb that time sec 1 its quite cute really now that i think of it. we were in the audi. like first day of school i think then the lights were off then he just so happened to be sitting beside me like quite awkward but being the nice guy he was he turned to me and said LETS BE FRIENDS then i was like ok. then he went YAY I MADE A NEW FRIEND and secretly i was rolling my eyes like crazy but no you don't do that on the first day of school so yea.
turned out he was behind me on the register took the same bus home as me same orientation group as me so yea i think he influenced my decision somehow heh.
yea so that was how i joined band. a mistake maybe. but a nice mistake nonetheless.
batch photo #1 (sort of): (L-R): teng en; weiyang; darren (i think); da xian; sean; me; chin seng
i think the reason why our batch was so bonded (as compared to other batches) was that the year we joined happened to be syf year then while the seniors practiced we just slacked. rmb the first band camp the seniors had night prac then we were left to our own devices. in the end we ended up walking around the school our self-proclaimed nightwalk.
maybe also cause the junoir band was like a seperate band from the rest so we just do our stuff finish liao then we go eat ourselves loh heck the seniors who were still sweating themselves out over syf in the main band room.
hmm and the times the seniors went down for syf rehearsal at vch we followed also la. supposedly to do the sai kang carry instruments but we ended up playing catching at the backstage. hahah quite funny really but :D:D:D:D those were the times.
looking back its quite fitting that our last concert should be held at vch like all things zen, everything comes full circle and our band journey ended exactly at the same place as it started. at the backstage of vch.
every batch have their favourite activity. the seniors 2 years above us loved fighting t=our direct seniors liked to bond people. we liked playing cards. surprise! (not really)
haha i rmb at the start i really hated band like crazy. there was this time there was prac after some half day or sth and i wanted to go off badly then i cried and v nearly walked off. aye but dunno what happened but i stayed in the end. no balls i think.
but really. band pracs are boring i hated pracs. guess why!
DEAD SERIOUS.
not really la but i just think this pic is funny. :D:D:D:D
aye but i still came for pracs la. mainly for after prac activities. i dunno haha but soon i grew to like band more and yea enjoy my time there la. aye even the perc section became funny at first i thought the perc ppl were weird so i requested for a switch in instruments but then they became funny :D so yea its okay.
hmm after a few useless years in band in came outdoors which was quite ~~ at first cause we really didn't know what to expect cause um its like a rather alien idea
aye but after a while outdoors became like enjoyable cause for once, we were actually doing sth useful mr siao is like x100000 better than lim la. idk but outdoors was fun la despite the fact that we're noob. its much more enjoyable than indoors
it could've been better though if the school had given us more support and allowed us to go for display. but they even less balls than me la they scared we lose. so no go loh.
yup so we worked hard for syf 06 i think much harder than we ever worked for indoors yea and the end result was pretty much confirmed even before syf liao la 93 marks is quite clear off the distinction mark. yea but from then on i was in fact proud to be a band member.
and with outdoors came a lot of other performances i don't know but outdoors just seem to be in higher demand than indoor performances hahah maybe cause its more convenient for organisers. aye crap but saldkjlaskjd. and outdoors should have (in some way or another) bonded us as a band. those tiring pracs under the hot sun those endless rehearsals those bus rides back to school after performances each and every one of them contributed to the band spirit somehow.
in fact, 2006 probably was the best of high school band life la. hm i dunno maybe cause of welfare papa rujun. k la in some way his band chalets helped haha like the times we just cram 20 ppl into one room or sth. so bad that maria sheng heng had to sleep in front of the fridge haha but it was fun nonetheless maybe bingkun waking us at 4am in the morning screaming that his nose was bleeding playing disco with the lights actually made it better (as memories) but at that time i swear its not funny in the end we locked him out. it was THAT bad.
batch photo #2 the now famous one.
come to think of it. our high school batch was never out of band officially our step down date was 31st december 2006 though none of the juniors rmbed hmm but by that time we had already (sort of) joined the jc band liao. just umm crash scherzando.
BAND PHOTO #1
coming to jc band was a huge difference for once we actually realised that band pracs could actually be interesting that we could actually make music (that was in tune) and this is all down to
hot bod! okay he might not be the best but he's certainly better than lim.
jc band meant new people and i must admit it was hard not to stick to the high school ppl yea and we might have been rather unwelcoming but oh well its just natural la. human instinct.
hmm but then again syf 07 helped (in some way) bond us tgt i guess. again, the late night pracs and the stress (something like that la) but aiyah we still had fun though! :D:D:D
batch photo #3!
yup and our random outings haha i dunno i think we just like going out so like every opportunity just grab people and go out and just nua and slack around for the whole day doing stupid and random stuff.
this was totally random i swear. its probably the first and last time we went out with vanessa. (we = band - jiehan)
yea anw syf 07 was great haha in everyway possible actually no it was just fun la heh. i dunno going out with the band, just doing random and stupid stuff and looking and sean and rujun make a fool of themselves.
SECTION PHOTO! (L) hcflutes!
BATCH PHOTO #4.
BAND PHOTO #2 hahaha the most complete band photo for the 07 band.
hmm and my first overseas trip with the band! haha actually in sec 4 they planned a lot we were supposed to go america for some street parade or sth then no changed to beijing then the most realistic was korea for outdoors competition but no in the end nothing materialised such was the ineff of high school hmmm but then there was thailand! hahahha it was funnnnn like i dunno just being with the band la. sort of an extended band chalet.
haha random sean went "shuai ge photo!" and then everyone crowded round hahah quite bu yao lian but still. funny :D:D:D
high school photo! (-1)
BAND PHOTO #3 (@ some theme park i can't rmb) see the sheng heng/green ranger pose. go chin seng's blog if you don't know. hahahhahhaha
BAND PHOTO #4
okay this is random but i just put it in cause i think its funny hahahahhha.
hmm i dunno. the many concerts we held okay like 4 in total. they all add to the memories i dunno, a lot of time was sacrificed for band but i still think its worth it after so many years. i haven't gone overseas on a family trip in like 6 years. yea exact. okay most of the times is cause i dowan go with them but still. hahahha maybe if i didn't join i'd have went with them on their many shopping trips. oh well.
capriccio xxiii!
(L)(L)(L) hcflues 07/08 (L)(L)(L)
arts fest. batch photo #5
capriccio xxiv. batch photo #6
hmmm yea so its over that's basically 6 years of band life summarised into a page. and it stops here. i don't know there's going to be a massive void left to fill the friends still remain but i dunno it hasn't sunken in i guess
no more band pracs no more tuning no more sleeping during pracs no more phone games in between rests no more air-con fights
maybe i'll realise when school starts and i have nothing to do on weds and fridays frisbee's still there but even then i don't think its enough 5 months of frisbee just can't replace 6 years of band la, its just like that. D:
its definitely been an enjoyable 6 years. i don't think i've said this before but yea i really love my batchmates i don't know we're just... different from the other batches
haha and a (really really really) big THANK YOU to my section for putting up with all my rubbish and lame excuses everytime i slack.
there's no point looking back now that its over but i will really really miss band. i don't know its just this big part of my life la.
this may be the end of our band journey but physical distance won't lead to emotional distances we'll still be bandmates forever.
but now band life is gone. like a candle that's burnt out. poof.
bye bye.

and so here ends the last concert of my school life. umm like minus uni maybe. i don't know.
CAPRICCIO XXIV
i really don't know what to write. its just so ))): thinking abt it.

haha at least it was good. uhh preperations were rather frantic and last minute but umm at least we made it somewhere there. like daryl said (in frisbee) as long as we try our best nothing more can be asked of us.
haha before every concert comes the pictures LOL
hcflutes 07/08 :D:D:D
flutes 07/08 + 86/87 + random weely
anw, i digress ahaha
i liked hymn haha i don't know it was rather emo. hmm the recording sounds a bit rough but still can hear that we're trying really really hard like the wws doing all the crazy running notes like the horns (really really really) whacking their notes and the singing part was haha okayyyy la. considering that we (at least, i) can't sing for nuts.
in retrospect, this concert was more for umm us than the audience i think. i don't know its like i think we enjoyed it more than the audience la. nono i'm quite sure abt it. its just the feeling of playing nice songs tgt.
OH and phantom. i must must must explain. ITS NOT A PHANTOM SOLO. (yuck what a lousy pun chai lala) i had a (sort of) solo somewhere at the back but when i played like nothing came out. (minus the squeak) so i umm skipped half of it. aye and i wasn't supposed to stand one. but leng lao hua yan couldn't find sheng heng! then he pointed at me. TWICE! first time i looked behind and like. nobody moved. umm then second time i stand la. if not like that leng v malu.
aye the concert waasn't really well received but that's okay cause idk i guess we've just learnt to accept it. and we didn't really play our best i guess i don't know there were lots of screw ups here and there. i thought we sounded better at salt. but oh well.
aye and i change my mind. i think beatles is a pretty good song actually. dunno at first i damn despise beatles la. haha its just like that la. didn't sound like an encore piece. oh well.
but i still think shan hu hai is a really boring song once is bad enough IT REPEATS. ughhhh.
AHHHHH but yankeee was cuteeeeeee haha rather typically andrea! yay QUACK QUACK. aye we actually practised for it la. its not easy to "zhuo ya" (okay i get the joke now sheng hengggggg)
ah but well. what's over is over. hmm then AYE SORRY LA no time to meet ppl cause we ended late so yea we weren't supposed to meet audience at all but uhh of course we sneaked out la. okay la quite guang ming zhen da but nvm. just rush rush rush then siam liao must move instruments later leng pissed off again. aye sucks hahaha but oh well
anw back at salt we were just idk camwhoring and maybe actually just enjoying our last moments together as a band. like leng said friday was the last time this group of ppl would sit down and play as a band after friday, no more.
(again) flutes + random weely
random haha
(almost traditional) batch photo! okayyy la like 3/4 of the batch.
BAND PHOTO.
hai just slacked at salt doing random stuff then went kap for supper i don't know its quite nice to see that many many ppl went (okay relative la) despite the fact that it was 1130 and that if we ate we'd probably miss the last bus.
