*beePs* my hp made some noises. at first i thought it was the alarm...waking me up at 6am and i thought there was enough time to catch more winks since band only starts at 8. but to my dismay, it was the ringtone for a new message. i rubbed my eyes and it was from vivian.
''hey i wait for you at macs there..dunnoe why i am so early today, u faster come kk??"
hmmm...then i scrolled down and of course, to my horror, the time was already 6.57am. shit!! i wont be late for band since i take around 40 mins to get to tj. but i was supposed to meet vivian at 715 for breakfast. darn. how 'nice' it was to start a saturday...
*rush-rushed-rushing* *run-ran-running* *pant-pant-panting*
i was like a siao chabo, got up in a frenzy, hurriedly went to wash up, get changed...and ten min later i was pacing to and fro in the busstop...waiting for that 33 bus to come qUicKlY!!! i kept sms-ing i'm sorry and..hope she wont mind my late-ness. sighsigh...michelle, pls check the alarm time!!!
i managed to reach bedok only at 745am. i'm so guilty of making vivian to wait more than half an hour!! arhh...sorry sorry...i promise i will be early next time.. *______________________* luckily we managed to catch 38 and reached tj band room before 8am, or else i guess not only will i be killed by ruthless (joking la) vivian and...i guess i have to pay her fine. yeshyesh, we have this fine-money system, a way to stop the late-coming of people. hmmm, actually it works for me..but to some others...i think they are immune. ok i'm so bad..bleahx!
[anyway met haosiang at bedok] sorry if i didnt talk much...becoz, i dun really talk early in the morning..maybe just a good morning and that's it. later part of the day, the talkative michelle will appear...lame.
today sectional prac, it was good. i didnt know oboe wants to combine with us and we played together from 8 to 9. we did tuning *major thing to be worked on...* and chosen slow part. hmm..after cutting players and stuffs, the sound eventually became nicer..and MORE IN TUNE!! that is the whole main purpose. but cutting of players shouldnt be the way, a good band will play in full force. sigh whatever..no time for that. after which, from 9 to 10, we combined with the clarinets and yaochong came to take the mini woodwinds combine together with the khienwa mel.
i hoped every sat, there will be such mini combine, because i feel that it was very productive and we can hear and take note of the other sections. back in tkgssb, we used to do that as well..good job to everyone. i think this kind of thingy helped in lots of ways...intonation, plus we can do the dynamics range, the way we tongue the notes, the entrances, the breathing, the techniques...everything together. ok...i dunnoe how to express myself properly, but i guess those band pple out there...u know what i am saying??
of course, the band sound did improve quite abit today. i hope lin sheng realised it...kudos to the pianist. i think he is very hardworking! sometimes he goes down to every section and asked them to play for him, so that he can take note of when each section comes in...and so he can accurately play his part. he looks like a nerd and a good thing is that he has no airs. no AP!! yeah..i think he can feel the pressure and went back to practise because..today, all the piano parts CAN BE HEARD. those parts, i guessed some others should have the same sentiments as me, were heard for the first time since we started playing the chosen. hmmm great job boy! it was beautiful...really...nice and smooth but there's still room for improvement. anyway it was really good..
hmmm...so, it means that only after scolding then will we be awake. hmmm...that scolding did knocked some sense to everyone..and thus resulting to better sound produced by tj band. vivan said...if we were to improve that much for every combine...whahaha, we will surely make it....i felt the same. let's hope for the best, we are not going to give rj such an easy time...
hmmm...at 1220, i left band early. to meet P. hmmm, my mum and i had small talk with her. ok...i need to focus more...more improvement pls..and read more reference books...ok i shall do all that. no choice pple, 3As..good gp grade. nothing less. sigh..aim higher...then you will achieve greater heights...so cliche...
i met geri, wk and hk at 315pm..and we went back to tkgs to visit the juniors. they were having exchange with tkss and fairfield at tkss audi. hmmm...all 3 bands have their own strengths...but of course u will only be worried for yr own band..tkgssb, jiayou!! no time left...just practise harder and give yr best best shot...one chance, dun regret it. as the chinese saying goes : ten minutes on stage, ten years of preparation. hmmm, in the end, dun waste yr and everyone's time and effort.
for dinner, my family and i went to spring court at chinatown. that is quite a famous restaurant, their dishes are quite delicious but of course, the bill is a big eater of yr wallet. quite ex as compared to other chinese rest. but we went there to try the peking duck. only at 76 cents!! however. wait wait...the deal is...you have to spend above 76 DOLLARS before u can purchase the mouth-watering peking duck for a mere 76 CENTS. thanks la...but, my mum thinks it was worth it. a nice dinner with the whole family...who can ask for more...
that was my saturday...ok night time..i started to think of things again. regret once again. but this time, evil thoughts filled my mind...i even hoped that u and....shit la...why??? am i sick or something?? i shouldnt even think abt it. why be envious of pple...when at the first place u didnt treasure...haha...i'm hopeless....hopelessly in love with you. whatever. michelle...study!! yes! studies still top in my mind...really..
