today's a Sunday.
yet i'm posting about yesterday's band practice =.=
ya. i was bored yesterday, but also too bored to blog, so here i am.
yesterday's band practice started at 9, and i arrived at 8.20 or somewhere near that time. Went to put back my mouthpiece in the horn case, then thought better of it. i now have no horn. mine's with wenhui. so when i dsa i need to see that horn fixed, and i have to bring it all the way to mjc. sianzzzz.
ya. so i went back to the bag room to put my bag.
and i played the piano all the way till fall in time.
first, we went for sectionals. due to the fact that i'm not going for the trip, and did not have to memorise anything, i went to take the sec 1's. with firza.
took an outdoor snare drum to do the timings and stuff. we were lazy to clap. and we did it till (i dunno what time) and the main band went for combined (it was raining) and me and ian took weirui for sectionals. indoor sectionals. since i'm not involved in anything, i didn't follow te rest up, but stayed with ian to take weirui to play the horn.
he took my single horn. the exact same one that i used for the '06 outdoor. now i feel it's VERY difficult to play. taught the buzzing technique first, then trying to vary pitch with frequency of buzzing. he kinda got the idea. and i think he was much better than me when i was in sec 1.
couldn't even pitch the 3rd note in the B flat scale a few months before the indoor concert.
derrrrr.
i sucked at sec 1 and sec 2 before comp
sec 3 i loved my way of playing the horn. was my best and funn-est year. i felt i could do anything.
ya. after then, went to the studio for some combined. and there was some crap media thing that wasted my time. was so hungry lah.
then went for lunch with section.
the damn 16 bus driver had some thing stuck in his eyes?! he didn't see the whole busstop flagging for the damn bus?
he just whizzed by, splashing water on us that the rain deposited on the cracks and crevices in the road, further irritating us.
so we went to lucky bread. ate 2 bowl noodles and one cup of milk tea.
and i wasn't even full. damn.
but we walked back to the school again, and i went to the second tier to chat with alan. in hokkien. turns out that i speak less hokkien than i hear. alan must've spoken more hokkien than he hears, get what i mean? ;)
fall in.
got weirui to take his instrument. the same single horn.
trained him till the end of band practice. filled in a piece of paper full of my steps.
and he asked minimal questions. and nothing else.
so i think he'd fare quite well.
but i don't want just well.
i want excellent. so i'd be expecting much from you, weirui.
then i went home for dinner and stuff.
bathed.
went online
congratulated kaini for taking F5
and chatted.
and slept.
woke up today at 9.
quite early, considering i had no tuition and i could wake up whatever time i wanted to.
watched by bro maple.
played N3 on the 360 myself. i'm getting to like that game again.
had yesterday's leftovers for lunch.
then i'm online now.
and helping elise with some online math thing.
