Phew... a tiring day it was today...
Today was the day which the Nan Chiau Wind Orchestra hosted their very first Band musical exchange. 8 band from their respective schools came to our musical exchange, they are - Nan Hua, Siling, Pasir Ris, Victoria, Geylang Methodist, Beatty, Yu Ying and Mayflower. There were two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, 4 skoos per session. =) Well the NCWO played their compeition pieces, Seventh Night Of July and Sunrise. I thought that we played quite well, but still not enough, ecspecially the DYNAMICS SPECTRUM (as quoted from Mr Lum). Then it was the Band Directors retreat time and all the band members had their interaction time. We 'chatted' with the other school band members. and it was time to say bye bye to the schools
Then we had our lunch, guess wad, it was free tis time =) We got McChicken Burger and well it was not fulling =) I even bought chicken nuggets from the canteen store.
And then bak to the afternoon session of Band musical exchange. This time of round i did smthing wrong, I flooped up the muted notes =(. It was unclear and then Mr Png was like basically staring at me - scary ... My lips moved out of the mouthpiece and i was not used to the sound of the muted notes tt is why. sad case... And again it was the Band Directors retreat time. We again had out interaction with other band members. It was like so hard to 'break the ice' ... No one dared to speak and so it was like ...
Eventually, the entire musical exchange ended, we were given 20 minutes to get everything bak to its original place. CHIONG CHIONG CHIONG... Everybody was basically chionging to get the over and done with. Then everything was done, bak to the band room, settled down, listened to Mr Png speak and Band Majors speak then GO HOME.
DAMN TIRED SIA ...
At home so damn freaky tired and just laid on the sofa doing nothing... Had dinner and a yummy ice-cream then rest and watch TV - yays... Ok i am going to end this soon as my eyes are pain and i wanna sleep sleep sleep .... OK cyaz nitey nite =) SNOREZ

Another day at skoo ...
Well, skoo lessons were as boring as eva but, we had another night practice today ! It started at 1.15 and ended and around 9.20 - very tiring indeed. First we had combined practice with the whole band and then Mr lum came in with the EUPHONIUM MUTE. Alas the eupho mute is here.
Recap ... Mr Png ordered the Denis Wick London euphonium mute from the music store and the person said that it cost $172. Mr Png then juz agreed to buy it for us =) And let me tell you, the euphonium mute is for Seventh Night Of July and ... It is only for 2 bars and 9 notes ! 1 note cost bout $19 WOW ! It is like scary if we dun play that part well, or else wasted the money AHHH
Back to the story, then i had difficulty placing the euphonium mute in and Jing Ting dropped it AHHHH !!! Mr Png seems pissed off, after me and Jing Ting dropped the mute ...
Then it was time to place all the chairs and tables and stands and instruments properly for tmr musical exchange, Me and Donovan was having a fun time draging the chairs in the classroom. (Class 2D to be exact hahas). Had this competition - who can drag the chairs up to the front more quickly and i won YAY. Ok then Shaun came in and started kicking all the papers on the floor. All the rubbish to be exact... =) Then in the hall, helped to place the chairs out and arranged it neatly. Everything was like done within 1 and half hour - over shot the time limit given by Mr Png.
Then we had dinner. The dinner was Bee Hoon with chicken wing, vegetable and fishcake and the yummy yummy chilli. =) Same store, the $1.90 store and dunno where the 10 cent went to, hahas ...
Then, it was back to practice, we had the combine in the hall (which was freaky cold as the aircon was on) and Boyang and Eloise had to do their Seventh Night Of July solo. Mr Png said to boyang izzit very difficult to work with Eloise, then Boyang was like in a shock hahas... It was also the time which Jing Ting and I dropped the Euphonium Mute.. Ahhh ...
Practice Practice Practice until 9.10 pm then we were released, kept instuments, listened to the major and teacher talk then GO HOME. Jing Ting father fetched me, Valencia, Donovan and Boyang home. Thanks A Million Jing Ting =)
Now back at home, still packing up the sweets for tmr practice sianx... I wanna sleep so ok i tink i end it here and go have my GOOD NIGHT REST ... nitey nite ... =)

Today was a TIRING day, we had this backbone check in the morning (which took away our P.E periods) and then we oso had IT lessons which we went around under the hot sun taking videos. Very lame indeed. But the most tiring point was that we had Band Prac from 3.30pm to 9pm ! Well i don't mind after all it is for SYF (& I AM DESPO FOR A GOLD ) We had sectionals which me and Boyang drilled Jing Ting. She still has that french horn sound in the euphonium. It needs to be broader, wider, a more eupho sound. Then we had combined for a while, which after that we had dinner. We had to pay $2 for our dinner, we had this NASI LEMAK (kindda yummy). The nasi lemak is $1.90, wonder where did out 10 cents go HA HA. There was fried chicken wing, cucumbers, egg, peanut and this nice chilli. (to sat the truth i actually don't take chilli, but it was too yummy for me to resist). Then it was bak to practice, we practiced in the Hall. Very Very Very wet. The band was not used to be in such a wet environment. The combined was overall quite ok and i believe if we continue tis hardwork, NCWO WILL BE ABLE TO GET A GOLD. YAY YAY YAY
OH YARH - DOREEN'S BIRD VERY SHARP LEH hahas ... o.0
