.: TIRED! :.

Just came back from band practice and band good luck dinner! We sounded fantastically great today man! The last half an hour's performance at PT jsut goes to show how our hard work for that past 3 months had paid off and how staying back for band till almst 8 today and yeasterday paid off. Just can't wait to rock New York! CARNEGIE HALL! We're coming! haha. band spirit was really high especially coming to the last part, when we all cheered and played the school song... like suddenly the trumpets decide to do it. haha! then band good luck dinner! I think the band is just so ready for New York! In 2 more days, some of the band members will head to NY while its on a Saturday NIght for me! haha! it's gonna be an extremely fun trip!

The Fortune Travels people came last Saturday to brief us about NY and all and woah! it's really going to be a memorable jouney from the looks of it. Workshops, compeition in world reknown hall, performance at Central Park, shopping, Factory Outlet, Time's square, Broadway shows, 4-5 Star accomodation! haha! My wanting to go to NY is at it's peak now! Missing one whole week of school so its dead time after we're back in Singapore! but WHO CARES! haha

Horn Quartet performance today! What an experience! i think we did not bad! so GOOD JOB! haha. pictures up soon. and after al lthe practices, worrying and anxiety, our quartet performance is over and now, we only want to have another chance to perform quartet again!

Whole of MArch holidays was like BAND everyday and of course, filled up with outings with some other people! THe 08S64 Class BBQ was fun! BBQ at some super high class, rich place and with like a bar there and all., GREAT place to BBQ! all thanks to MinYang :) HAd alot of fun! talking, eating, bbq-ing and of course playing cards and i had my first taste of drinking overage drinks as i would call it.
Last week was just super eventful so I shall just upload pictures

As the saying goes... a picturer tells a thousand words! :)

.: March Holiday Past,Present and Future = Busy :.

Now it's the middle of the supposedly March Holiday. Which in this case this year, is not really one March Holiday for me! DIE! Going to be so dead tired. My plan this March holiday - Monday, band individuals and then go collect Passport and dinner with Weining and Xiaowei. Tuesday, Band and Band BBQ. Wednesday, Band and Band Sectionals . Thursday... no band BUT have to meet with one group of friends in the morning till late noon then meet with another group of friends for dinner and stayover at my OGL's house. Then Friday EARLY IN THE MORNING, go for band again! Then have Briefing for New York Trip that day and then rush down to Orchard for my class bbq. and Saturday, band. :( It's like almost everyday there is band (which is not a bad thing cuz i think we really need to do alot of practice to get the best out of all of us and the piece, though we sound great now) haha. and like outings. Never have i felt rather 'stressed' out over going out before. What an irony. So doubt there will be time to blog too. haha.

Just came back from band bbq. though turn out was small, i was glad that i went because at least i enjoyed myself! Sitting by the beach and talking to gongzhu and yanzhu and bbq-ing burnt satay and all. Was rather fun hanging out with some J1 band members! though we do that like almost every saturday or everyweek! haha. And today rained... but it became cooling at night which was just great!

Pictures of whatever's done during March Holidays shall be up SOON! haha.. probably after i take a good rest!

.: Finally Updating :.

I have got to update more often! This blog is like going into ICU every once a week. so not updated. anyway, the past whole week and days this week that's passed have been a rather busy one. School starts real proper now, Can feel that the teacher's are no longer cutting us some slack. Though marginal, but the feeling that we are now actual students of the school is really scary. No longer can you rely on the excuse that we might not be here anymore when we don't want to hand in assignments or what. Taking new subjects like economics and studying deeper into the other subjects just makes the stress level go higher! My avenue of stress-release - talking to my friends about random stuff during lectures and tutorials and the band!
Year 2s are having common test so the band is practically only filled with Year1s. in which we still sound rather good! haha. Time after the year 2s graduate will be like this. But anyway, the band is practicing real hard for New York trip and as what Joel said just now at dinner, "We must stop slacking after this dinner already becuse New York is like 16 days away!" So fast! and it's still snowing there at New York with weather ranging from 0 to 10. I guess it'll be cold! Very excited. I think I'm quite bless (though some might call it unlucky), to be visiting this snowy regions so much. 2 months ago, was at Eastern Europe and now, to New York! must treasure all of these memories!
The band also seems different now. J2s not there for the time being and especially the departure of JingWen and Jiaying! the previous Saturday they came back and we were all so happy to see them! they're definitely forever in VJCSB! They played for NSSN and had so much more times in the band than i had. i only wished they could stay, we all could stay! but you guys must also get on with your life at your new JCs and treat VJCSB's band room as your second home still :)
Tests! Tests! Tests! Had economic test and chinese test and english/math test to come. I have a very bad feeling that i'm not going to do well for econs anyway. i like ecnomics now because it's very interesting! jsut have to take time to adapt to this new subject!
Last Saturday, went out to chill with Elizabeth, Yvonne and Gino! and yup! we had a great time like always! had dinner together and as yvonne had work, the three of us basically sat around, played arcade, study for a while whilst waiting for her to knock off! Catching up with old friends are always a good thing! Especially where there's a multitude of words and information we all want to share! Haha! HAd a graet laugh at the arcade! It was FUN! Life in VJ has been so much fun and meeting them gave a wonderful ending to my day!
