AI & Sick...

Hey.

Went to AI prac ytd..was feeling a bit unwell before that but then i thought it was nothing wrong so I still went for the prac! Used E11 clar..it sucks to the core cos i made such a horrible tone with it. Guess I have to use the MJC one which is a RC! AI prac was great. The people there are funny. Played Samsui and Overture No.2. Overture No.2 is not really that tough you know. I got a feeling Overture No.1 is a bit more tough! haha..Samsui was like crazy..i listen to the first clar part but then sadly, their part is different and i sometimes play wrongly..haha.

After prac, the trumpet guy ask me my name cos he needs to write down then ask wad sch i'm from then i said i'm from dunman. He then quickly called yixiang to come and told me he's from dunman too! LIK OMG! He's the sax soloist for Philwinds on Saturday! He's super good at the saxophone la! so inspired by him!

Went home after prac and I was feeling horribly wrong and I know I'm getting sicker and sicker..reached home and took temperature and it was 38 celsius. Ate panadol then went to sleep.

This morning still got a bit of fever but after one more dose of panadol and some sleep, my fever is gone!

I dunno if i should go back dmn tml but i think i must cos i need to return their flute! haha..

that's all..

PhilWinds

Hi!

So today was a GREAT day! First went to meet malik and guan @ City Hall MRT! Malik was LATE! I was only late for 3 mins and guan reached on time. And guan wants me to treat he starbucks, like WTH! Forget it guan! 80cent kopi for u ba! Then we walked to the Esplanade Library! First time in there actually and it's SUPER COOL! A lot of scores! I LOVE IT! Then in the practice room got this guy playing Grade 8 piece(J.S Bach Sinfonia). I love that song but super hard cos a lot of notes! Went to the Cafe and teach guan he's theory! Ordered Mocha Latte while Guan sadly, ordered an iced tea which cost $4 and he very xin tong!

After that, went to queue up for PhilWinds concert! Saw Alastair there! GUESS WHO I SAW!!! THE CLARINET TUTOR FOR DMN BAND SYF'09!!! I FORGOTTEN WAD'S HIS NAME BUT IT'S SO COOL TO SEE HIM AGAIN! They played really cool songs! I love the sax soloist, trombone quartet, and of course CLARINET CANDY! they played CLARINET CANDY TWICE SOME MORE! I love their performance!

Went to Marina Square later to eat BK and dinner was soo quiet..*cricket sounds* after that went to plaza sing Yamaha and see scores and wanted to find out about the clarinet lessons there. But then, it's like basic things and I think it's not worthed it since I already know the basics! Went home later!

Quite quiet on the train though...hai...all malik's fault! make the trip so quiet!

My new D&G shoes are making my back of my feet painful! That's why I was walking a bit funny when walking home cause the pain was getting worse!

Overall, CONCERT WAS SUPERB! I NEED A CLARINET TUTOR! I HAVE A SUDDEN URGE TO PLAY IN AI! I WANT A CLARINET! AND THAT'S ABOUT IT! HAHA..bye!

Christmas Lunch and Party!

Hi.

So yesterday, I had band prac at MJC as usual. Then one time, Ms Sia looked at me and asked:"Are you playing first?" and I obediently nodded my head. She then said:"The balance is not right, go play third." and of course I went to play third with Lee Guan. Third is fun! love to play low notes sometimes. HAHA! We played a new song. It's Alfred Reed Second Suite. We only played the third and fourth movement. Third movement super fun cos it's clarinet soli like almost for 85% of the song. Fourth movement a bit screwed up cos i keep losing count and sometimes Ms Sia never conduct so I got lost and have to listen to people and see where they are!

After that, we had christmas lunch!! I didn't bring extra food and guess wad. The extra food is JJ send one and I though it was like a whole band thing. haha. We ate turkey and the ham. THANKS MS SIA! Had a really great time and then we had like the present balloting session. Amirah got my present and I got dunno who's present but it's a bar of Cadbury chocolate anyways. Haha.

After that, walked with Arian and Elaine to the bus stop and took the bus. It's so damn freaking hot and I kept sweating and sweating. Took the bus with Arian while Elaine go her friend house. Took train and then reach home and quickly bathe cos i am so sticky and sweaty. I played flute and then at 5 plus i took the bus to TM to meet Shang Zhi and guess wad?! He was still at home! He wanted me to buy the Pizza Hut stuff first but then I got NO MONEY! haha. Then I ask him quickly come and when he came bought the food and walked to Popular for awhile. Saw Pamela there and talk to her for 5 minutes while SZ was looking for he's lame books again! Took the food and took 29 and then BK boarded the bus also and we talk and talk and talk and reached Ms Ong's house.

I bought Ferrero Rocher for everyone. it wasn't enough cos I only bought 16 and it's a first-come-first-serve basis. Stupid SZ take 2 but then at least I pay lesser for the food cos he still owe me cab money! Everyone like snatch food at the beginning but after that everyone was less hungry and ate slowly. Lucky we didn't order pizza or else there will be too much food already! Chat with BK,Jerry,Ms Ong for a long long time and said all the lame things. Ms Ong's cheesecake is really the bomb! It's super nice. Drank wine and it's obvious that Joe was kinda drunk! and SZ face was so red even though he's complexion is very tan! Only me and Jerry was like not even red lo and not even drunk when we drank quite a few cups of wine. POWER SEH!

Stayed until 12 and then Yuquan,Joe,Jerry walked me to the bus stop and then later they can go swim=.=Took bus and then at interchange missed the last bus and walked home from there. Reached home at 1250 bathe then secretly used the Wifi cos my mom still watching tv and talked to Malik for awhile then I slept!

Had a really enjoyable time!

Today is Christmas eve and I'm at home doing nothing. I played flute for almost like 4 hours? I dunno. It's so fun! I'm trying to play the high notes properly. I keep hitting the low notes instead. AIR SPEED! Improving already! haha..

That's all!

Home & TM...

Hey.

So as the title says, I was at home and at TM for the entire day. Well, at least I went out so I still am living and not decomposing.

Home:
Woke up and waited for my sis to wake up to practice piano. Played piano and used com for awhile to play restaurant city. I know. No life play some retarded game. After that, prepare to get out of the house for lunch with sis at pizza hut, buy christmas present and buy the sausage for the christmas party. When I was about to switch off the com, BK tweeted me and said Swensens is no longer taking any orders for their christmas food. So whatever, I am still going out lunch and get my christmas present.

TM:
So went to pizza hut for lunch. Ate and crapped with my sis. Later went to Famous Amos to buy 200gm of cookies. 100gm of cookies is seriously very little so let's not be a cheapo for the christmas gift and just spend $8.20 on the cookies. Took bus home.

Home:
Wanted to place the cookies into this nice tin container I had but the container was too small. So i decided to take out some of the cookies for myself to make the cookie bag smaller to fit inside the container. Managed to stuff it in and scotch-taped the sides and put a ribbon on top! haha. It looks more expensive than $8.20! Then talked to guan awhile online about his theory stuff. Then went to play Wii with my sis! Ate dinner. Checked theory syllables for grade 1-4 and it seems alright. I can do it. It's easy teaching(I hope!). Currently talking to guan and malik again on MSN.

Tomorrow going for DMN band to help sectionals and maybe talk to Mr Lim. Haha.

Nothing else to say!

BBQ and Orchard...

Hi.

Ytd I went to MJCSB BBQ. And guess what? I was the only DSA person who went! See how enthusiastic I am! MUAHAHA!! So before that I went to the mrt station to find guan cos i have to pay him $12 for the SSW ticket. ARGH! He said FUCK in my face! NOOO! I thought he would forget about it then I can pay half price! So yah. We crapped for 15 minutes and I let him see my theory book. I guess he got a bit scared about it cause it's like weird and foreign to him. After that went to piano lesson. improved? Maybe but my running notes for my first piece is dying again. Getting inconsistent. and i'm doing the long-short and short-long rhythm again for my second piece again cos it's like all semiquavers! After that I 'rushed' to find Arian but haha. blame the mrt and the bus for taking so long to come! Then yay, reached Whitewater condo and met up with clarinet section again. everybody in my section were there except for shiying cos she's going overseas(and no one knows where). so yeah. ate and played games. it's more like section outing though. Played MRT again=.= and dionne is seriously violent. now my leg is still super red thanks to her and cos she self-defend and hit my arm, my arm has a bruise! went home then and slept!

Today, went to orchard! and yah. bought new ZARA jeans and also D&G shoes! hehe...so pampered! yeah..that's all...BYE

Band

Hi.

So today I went back to DUNMAN BAND to help out with sectionals. I was fashionably late! but whatever, I'm suppose to be late! So ya, while setting up clarinet, meiyen walked in and she came back to take some stuff. and i think she went to play a bit of clarinet! I did long notes, chromatic, tonguing, tuning with them. AH! Ears bleed i tell u! Tried to play chords but dunno why suddenly thirds out of tune again. so i gave up and told the sec 1s to practice more! Maybe I shld push them as hard as my sec 2s during SYF.

The sec 2s clar gave me my farewell present and it's so nice. THANK YOU! Did legend of the ancient hero. The song is nice but then cos not everyone has that mellow tone yet, the sound is horrible! notice the word YET! After that had 'section' lunch at Macs and then went back to sch again. Saw yq and we talk awhile. joined them for prac and before tt mr lim did like sectionals with clar and he look at me and say why the section still like that. i guess i have to do better!

Went home with yq. played piano and reading now..hehe.

tml meeting mj clar section to buy christmas deco and then deco the section cupboard! after that i need to meet jerry,ju,lynn,marcus,sherry @ 1pm so to get lunch(?) and come my house and play WII!

Hi!

i am doing this cos someone by a name called joycetayxien want's me to do this..so i should just update.=.=

so tofu was super sweet today cos he purposely dress up for school and went back there in the morning to help me take my all-time favourite clarinet! i tot he had something in school that's why he went back but he actually just went back to take my clar! THANK YOU! super touched! then i started playing liao once i got home. the tone is super nice and my hypothesis is that it's the mouthpiece and ligature! the tjc one is the buffet mouthpiece and ligature but DMN's one is vandoren B40 mouthpiece and i forgotten wad's the brand of the ligature...so my tone was super nice in all notes! except this slight buzzing sound behind each note. getting on my nerves!

then i went out for lunch with marcusongqinwen. while on the way to meeting point, saw yanhong. but she din see me until i deliberately walked in front of her and clap my hands very loudly and then walk off! she ltr send me sms saying i scared her..hehe. sorry ya?
i boarded the bus like super late. and i reached the meeting point like 10 minutes late. little did i know, he was even later than me..=.=he reached like 5 minutes after me. went to mac and eat and saw this table filled with small little kids next to us and we were like super shocked that all of them like around the same age and it's from one mother! must be every year pop 1 out!

crapped a lot then go home lo...cos he quite tired..=.=

now updating blog and ltr going down to be maria with my mom and maybe prac clar again? it is so wonderful!
