alright, today started rather tiring as i woke up rather early - at 0900 when i am supposed to wake up at 0830. Wasn't late because my father fetched me to school with his bike - which is a lot faster than public transport.
Had combined woodwind sectionals in tj band, my tuning always go wrong...haiz..
then had section lunch, then back to sectionals...Wow their sectionals is really different from bvcb flute section. In bvcb flute section, we hardly combine to play. What we do is that during camps when we enter our sectionals room, each one of us would take a corner of the room and we practise ourselves. In tj band, sectionals is combined together, which i feel is rather different but of course there are learning points for me..hahhs
After sectionals, i went back to bvcb...which is 5 stops away...they were preparing for the marching video when i arrived. Nic ong, liling and karen didn't come because they all got something on...hahhas...only a few seniors were there to see the band marching...
The conclusion, not from me, is that the band marched not very bad, and not very good either...
Wanted to stay until night for their night practice so that i can touch my flute, but like no seniors are staying so i decided to forget it and leave for home.
Well quite a short post for today...i helped you save time in reading!!! hahahs

Went for tj band practice today, and it was raining when i set out my journey...and i was like sian~...rain at that time...decided to take bus 38 since it will reach to the bus-stop directly in front of tjc and i can just sit down and view the scenery etc...if i had taken mrt, i would still have to change to bus 38, so might as well i take bus 38 straight from simei, + i can save some $$$...
After Band practice, i finally went back to bedok view! whar like so long never go there liao after graduation day. Band camp started today so i might as well come back to eat some food during their bbq and meet up with some friends and seniors. What i ate: A plate of fried rice, 2 chicken wings... i know like i ate a little bit, because there was not much of food left, no sausages, no satay.
i guess this is the first time i see band people playing with charcoal. Well it seems lame. What they did was that their hands were blackened with charcoal and what they do is they call your name, and touch your face...they might not even call your name at all...so you might be "blackened" without being known...chun yuen was the first one to that on me..hahahs...
i regreted splashing water on willie because after splashing water on him, his "charcoal" hands touched my face and my face was with those black marks...i took much effort to wash the stains off my face...heng ah i was able to wash it off.
I think this camp's bbq have broken record for ending the fastest....they started at about 645pm++if i am not wrong and they ended like 0830pm? Wow past few camps' bbq would end atabout 10pm or 11pm lor...one of the reason for such early ending of bbq - the members eat fast...hmm even if you eat fast we still can sit down and talk right? Isn't that sort of part of the purpose for a bbq??? hahas not sure either...
When they like clearing up the canteen... shanhui, nic ong,karen, liling, nic huang, samuel and i went to the bubble tea shop behind the school..haven't been spending time with them ever since like we graduated from bvcb...
When we came back, they realised that there was a board showing all the teachers, be it the HOD, SH, LH, form teachers and non-teaching staff, put up not long ago i guess...if you want to know..its just beside the general office..hahas
i think its really the first time i truly explored my school's newest vending machine, and every single drink got the healthier choice symbol from what i noticed...hahas...and the "oheya" chips....bv students should know bah i think...the one that comes in 3 different flavours...that one*...hahahs ok forget it...
We then seated on the parade square to talk etc...then finally managed to talk to my juniors and other members in the band...
Finally almost of the seniors and some of the members sat down to play game...where you think of three words and the next person think of another 3 words...making up a story...it was really sick and fun!!! Maybe should play this game with tendays people soon! they will love it..ahahs...making it sick also....
Well the game sort of ended when most of us were about to go home...returned my blazer and band pants back to the band after months and months...hahahs miss bedok view...love the night time when in band camp...romantic? ahahhs...no la its just something you won't see often, with friends together at night, not going home but staying in school....hahahs

Went out with john at 430pm to find job in simei though i know that the chances are slim..hahahs, just wanna try and see if i could find one. Well, i was late again this time, hahahs..i reached at 443pm...
Went up to popular bookstore first, well we came rather a bit too late, because we already saw a few part-timers in the store itself...but we, or rather me, still went to the cashier counter and asked if they were recruiting...
Next, we went to sakae sushi, didn't really fill in an application form, they only told us to write down our name and phone number...
After that, went to challenger, i guess challenger got more chances bah, since they gave us a form to fill in.
We then walked to those restaurants, like eatzi etc...just realised that the sakura had moved...i am like out-dated...sorry, because i have not go into eastpoint for like quite sometime....as in exploring etc. There was this restaurant that was like very cheapo lor, the pay was $3/hour +CPF, which we both feel was like kind of a bit too little...there was another restaurant, but they already have part-time waiters le, so we were "forget it"...
Went on to Watson's, waited and waited after enquiries to the cashier...and finally they told us to go this place, i think somewhere in city hall...john and i were like "...." ya so we threw away that piece of paper and forget about it....
Went into sportslink, but saw that there were like a few teenagers - which are workers - in the shop itself...so we decided not to ask and leave quietly....
next, going on to ntuc, they wanted us to work until like next year, so john and i decided not to accept since we are only willing to work for this december...
then we decided to pass by those apparel shops, forgetting about fastfood because we didn't want to work in a fastfood restaurant. Those apparel shops like already have enough part-timers...so we decided to "forget it"...
yes, after reading all these...you would have come to a conclusion..we found 0 jobs, managed to apply for about 2 jobs....but we will be still waiting for calls....hahahs

Just a quick recount....
Went out at 4pm to meet up some of the 4e1 people - to prepare for zy's birthday surprise-....which i thought would be most of the class people....sad thing that only about 12 of us came...but we had FUN!!!
Was late- again- when i reached kembangan mrt, like i am supposed to be at the mrt station by 4pm, but reached there at 420pm...hahahs...anyway heard from chengwei saying that keith and rachel got lost...lucky me, would have been lost too together with them if i reached there on time.
Finally managed to contact john after zy suddenly called me to ask where i went - i had to say that i am going out with my friends, nota very good reason, but it seemed to worked - and told me that john can finally contacted. Chengwei and me were like waiting for john to arrive at the station...about 5 trains past the station before he arrived. Darwin came earlier to fetch us to jesslyn's house since we don't know the location at all.
At jesslyn's house the others were like all playing with the ps3 in her house...playing the game - something called dark kingdom - all i know that you have to do is to kill those enemies you see...pressing the square button on the controller...triangle to take things etc etc..john and i were like taking turns to play...
Next, when about 5 to 6pm++, jesslyn asked us to hide, some in te kitchen and some in her room...the guys were in the kitchen and then we realised that our shoes were all outside the house, and zy would definitely know something...hahhahhs
hahahs..rachel left her phone on the dining table when we were about to hide, john and i decided to put it somewhere in the kitchen and decided that the safest place would be the top of the refrigerator...hahahs
and next the guys went on to playguitar hero and the girls were eating...not long after..john and i decided to eat..and i noticed after started eating, we have been near the dining table all the time!Perhaps just eating and eating the bee hoon, fires and chicken wing...ahahs..then rachel, jesslyn, zy, john and i were like talking and joking around while eating..
Have you ever tried eating jellies with chili sauce? i remembered helping zy to take a piece of jelly when it suddenly slipped onto zy's plate and that particular area that the jelly slipped onto had chili sauce all over....ahahhs ewwww you might say...like eating chwee kueh..cos the almond jelly was white and you added chili sauce..hahhs..
My FIRST TIME ON AUDITION...hahahs..john and i were like taking turns to play once either of us missed the buttons...rather difficult...and zy said the song we played was the simplest one!..okay..i cannot play audition..hshahas
suddenly instead of playing the game john went onto the changing of costumes of the people dancing inthe game...haahahhs....zy said she no money to buy, only can try the clothes on...i guess this is one shopping for clothes where you will not feel paiseh at all....shan't talked about the choice of clothes...but it was very sick and fun anyway..hahhas
after that we rested to sit down and talk, do some light activities which would not tire us out...just plain discussion and playing have made me tired lor....hahahs..the others were still at the guitar hero while some went to watch the last episode of the 9 o'clock drama..
finally it was time to pay $$$ - $7.60 each person...john was like "hurry let's go before they say the price is changed to $10"...hahahahs
it was nice gathering...and i hope to have more of such things...to prevent loss of contacts..hhahs
ok gotta stop here...

Hellos i am back!
haven't been posting for a few days le...was busy and lazy...hahas... and i changed my blogskin, after numerous nonsensical comment from zhao ying and help from her, cheng wei and cally...thanks to you all!
For the past few days, ever since 19th november, i had been considering and considering whether to join tjc band as a guest player...finally made up my choice and i decided to join the band after much advices from friends, etc..thanks for that!
The 2nd practice i went on Sat, 22Nov was rather nice, times flies when in band...is like i came to tjc at about 9am and the 2nd time i see my time it was like 13:39...time doesn't really seem so fast at home...proceeding at a rather "ok" speed...
Firstly thought that jc life was those type of very stressful, quite tiring that type of life, but after like talking to the members of tjc flute section during section lunch, i realised that the life there can fun though...and jc people can also be sick type de...they remind me of Tendays. aww..i miss tendays..and like the blog is dead le...tendays members..if you are reading this, please help to revive the blog!
Okay i think even i announce this here, the blog would still be dead, from dying to death...perhaps our negligence was the main cause....
haiz..i still cannot regain back my standard as before...quite paiseh sometimes when i play wrong...have that feeling like the time when i was sec2 in band...going back to bvcb on wednesday - 26th nov...to reunite with my flute! heard from lorraine that my flute is still untouched...ahahahs...hope my stand is still untouched too...
well...haven't been back to school ever since graduation day on the 15th nov, kind of missing it...and like we haven't clear our things in there...all the decorations etc etc all are in there..i think 4e1 is the only class left that have yet to clear our stuffs...ahaah.. like losing contact with the 4e1 people le...i'll be meeting with some of them on monday, miss our sick discussions...
it seems like john is missing in action...calling him to the power of 10 times but still no one is picking up the phone...
alright i guess i shall stop here...lost of words probably...hahahs...

Well, for today, i went to tjc together with nic ong, liling and karen for the tjc band practice...things were getting quite of awkward then we were in the school itself...things for me started to feel different, perhaps because it isn't bedok view....While we were outside the tjc band room, we were like hesitating, whether to back out or continue to move on...i was like backing out now would make my trip wasted...(and waste my bus fare) then when someone from tjc band talked to us, we finally slowly proceeded into the band room..
Things were a little bit different from bvcb and tjc band...the way the two bands work..the atmosphere...etc etc...and they introduced me to their flute section leader known as xinyun when i told one of the members that i play the flute....the flute given was of a brand that was unknown to me, as i only know about yamaha and altus, hee....but well that flute was in a rather good conditition...i was then introduced to the two other members - jermain and cheryl - hope i remembered and spelled their names correctly.
then finally the band started to warm up, the score was called "20 tune up" or something like that if i am not wrong....haiz..too long never play le...starting to play was like very difficult.
oh my gosh the flute section of tjc band was really very power...all know vibrato, all play so nice...esp one flute solo that the SL played, super nice lo...
the first piece played was something called "danz....."- which i cannot recall cos the name was kind of like long for me to rmb- lots and lots of running notes, the time signature (6/8) was like almost disappearing from my mind le....almost cannot count...
the next piece was "celebrate" if i am not wrong...a nice piece and relatively easier compared to the first one... with the exception that the running notes were very fast, perhaps too fast for me to sight-read...
last piece played was "joyful exclamations", that piece also not bad, just that the running notes were kind of a killer....flute is always like this, running and running notes...well have to slowly play and play till i get it....
finally the whole practice ended..time rather flies when in band...the same thing applies to bvcb...well i am kind of stuck whether to join their band for their concert...if you are reading this, can help give me some comments so that i can have a bit of advice? thanks a lot.

Today - 15th nov - was my graduation day at school. Knew that today was going to be very tiring, since i have to travel to 2 places...besides that, yesterday was class party, so my muscle aches have not "disappear" yet....
Slept only for about 4h before the graduation day. Reached school with my father at about 0730, nothing to do but to sit in the canteen..and finally when it was about 0800++ when i met up with my other classmates and we assembled at the parade square.
And the first thing mr zaldy said was to check our attire since it was a school event......oh well....
After that, we proceeded to the hall...the hall was rather well decorated with balls attached on the chairs...the chair arrangement was rather nice..8 per row....and there was a rather wide gap between classes...
Went up stage for colours award after the speech by 4 people - VP, GOH, outgoing head prefect and the vice-head of the new student council. Hahas rachel was the first one to go up the stage...zhao ying behind and yuning infront of me...Didn't know why, i kept yawning and yawning to the extent whereby tear started to emerge out of my eyes...not purposely de..perhaps due to fatigue...
after the colours award was the persentation of graduation certificates..one by one went up the stage to shake hands with their form teachers....4e1 was the first to go up =) and then shook hands with mdm ng...
while others were getting their certificates, my class people were like writing messages for one another from the book that everyone received during the class party...perhaps that the reason why we didn't really scream and shout etc etc when our teachers went up the stage...
At the end we threw our ties up high and then the whole event had ended..everyone was like still busy with writing messages and some continue to taking photos...others untying the balloons and keep for themselves...nah i didn't take the balloons...feel that there's no use for it...
After all the things in the above paragraph.... my father fetched me home first since i didn't have the house keys...didn't go for the tea ceremony in the morning for my cousin's wedding since i was rather tired...
Finally at about 1630++ my family was ready to go for the wedding...and we were rather early for the wedding...almost like no one when we reached there...
started to eat and drink when about 6++ or 7++...sitting around and eating, drinking...
finally the dinner was about to start when we went into the ballroom, which was labelled outside as "salon", i don't kow why..perhaps you might know...but don't blame me, i quite long never go wedding le...
the dinner started and let me fast forward...---> they showed a video after the 3rd or 4th dish...the video was rather funny when the groom - my cousin-in-law - was to pay money to get into the house, the money used was very creative..well it was singapore dollars, but his face was printed onto the notes itself, not the face of the first president of singapore...and they had to wear those osrt of bikini costumes and pole dance or rather bamboo pole-dance...
finally after the whole dinner...i shook hands with the host, and with my cousin...then i asked her:"you remember my name mah?"...she forgot and called me my second brother's name...and finally she recalled my name...haiz...perhaps time has a way.of taking things back..like what zhao ying's blog said..lost in touch would probably make one forget his or her contacts.....ahahahs...
well the whole thing ended about 11++...was very tired after the whole day...perhaps i should stop here since after that is zZz(sleep)..........
2:55 PM
Saturday, November 15, 2008
Well, the day - Friday, 14 November 2008 - started when john and I started walking from eastpoint all the way to a bus-stop oppoosite to a condo named summer gardens(met leionn who was cycling along the way, he say want to fish at ecp). To be clearer, the bus stop was near bedok south sec...ya and we took 31 all the way to parkway parade...supposed to wait for chengwei and grayson..but only to receive smses stating like "you all go ahead first" etc etc etc
on the bus...i was listening to some music when john suddenly told me to give up my seat when a mother with her maid and child boarded the bus.....told john to wait abit longer...then after that the mother managed to find seats for herself and her child and maid...
I really wonder how come john suddenly so good arh, give seat to other people....didn't see him do that when we taking bus 38 or 12 from school to home during school time...something's wrong....
not long after, another mother with cild boarded the bus....an auntie suddenly stood up and gave her seat away...and john also gave up..leaving me there...make me paiseh...
didn't really know what to do then....not long after...an old woman boarded the bus...feeling sort of guilty...i decided to give up my seat...standing and holding onto poles...until we finally got a seat at the end...by that time..we already almost going to reach parkway le...diaos.....thats was about 1145
supposed to meet the others outside the mac opposite to parkway...then very clearly..no one in the class was there!!! then i called zhao, only to know that they went popular to buy some things. We decided to parkway first and upon turning back to mac, chengwei was there...he said he reached at 1130, which was faster and earlier than us!I think he was the one who left fiest before us.Well it seems that john and I 's "go ahead" didn't managed to catch up with chengwei..
Then the three of us walked towards popular..while we haven't reach popular, zhaoying, rachel, dion keith and darwin all appear liao...rachel and her wind..fearing of messing up her hair....then we continue sit outside mac and wait for others.
Soon, dion, john, zhao, zizing,kexin,hongye and i went to parkway to have lunch...(my 2nd entry into parkway) after lunch, dao hwee(grayson) + eric came le!ahaahhs hweeeeeeee!
Kind of paiseh lor...we all one gang sit outside mac...but no one was eating mac at all!!! to top it all, there were even starbucks cup, bubble tea, popular magazine etc etc...
okay, fast forward----------->all of us then took 36 to muba's house when ming leon arrived - almost = to ECP-7.5 guys went to take the bbq stuff...and 0.5 =female side of zhao ying...since she is almost male..hahahahhs...
fast forward ---------->finally reached ecp at around 12 ++ and suddenly like nothing to do like that when we were at our pit B1..the furthest pit if i am not wrong...muba, john, cheng wei and me went to see leionn and sunkyu +eric fish...well no fish at that time...stayed near the beach to "sunbath" and play...i must be getting old le...run abit liao then panting....john was even worse - going to puke.
Rachel gave us uno cards to play when she saw us bored...harry potter uno cards...alittle bit different from the conventional ones.....oh some played life...some sitting around..
fast forward ---> sky was getting darker(about 3++) but it didn't rain in the end...don't know why...everybody moved to the shelter near the pit and then in the end most were playing along the beach...washing our slippers using seawater wasn't a good solution for us..bleah
rode on muba's bike..not bad can travel quite fast, not like the one i rented during geography lesson...can never get faster....then decided to ride bicycle with john...a double bike(about 4++)...well that's my first time riding that.,hard to start moving and stopping..but wuite nice when riding...it really requires alot of coordination...becuase john sped when i told him to slow down at first..but hit someone's bicycle gear(due to some traffic jam), but was managed to solve it in the end....
After riding then bbq started le...ahaahhh john's slippers broke halfway...not because of the cycling but due to perhaps an accident when he tried running to carl's junior and use their toliet...
bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq it goes on on on on on on on on on on on ....
first time drink green bean soup during bbq....zhao ying cooked not bad bah i guess...lost count of how many bowls i drank..john said about 3 to 4...ok la hor...well about 1830 but still no teachers, food was finishing....
fast forward -----> then finally in the end most of the teachers came...mr chu and his wife was the first team to arrive...mrs hua and her daughter they were the 2nd to arrive and mr teo, miss ong , miss chia they were the third to arrive , mrs tiu was the 4th to arrive and lastly 4e1's mrs cheong(at 2200++). didn't really talked to them cause was trying to help fan the charcoal, but managed to talk to miuss chia because she came to talk to us haahs..
went to disturb rachel and zhao in their photo taking....got new braces while eating sharil's chocolate cake...hahs too bad no picture to show you my wonderful braces..was showing it off to zhao and rachel almost going to give zhao ying...hahs
when mrs cheong came, john, had already ate the last chocolate cake....leaving mrs cheong with none...well nothing i could do could help...
fast forward ----> finally the whole party ended...when almost everyone started to "kope" some things home...i took paper plates(for no reason) and mashed potato roll...but threw mashed potato roll away after realising from the packaging that cannot refreeze after thawing...
--Well the whole ended with aches and sweat all over my knees and blister on my toe...must be wearing shoes for too long and not used to slippers...Labels: 4e1 class of 2008

We then seated on the parade square to talk etc...then finally managed to talk to my juniors and other members in the band...
Finally almost of the seniors and some of the members sat down to play game...where you think of three words and the next person think of another 3 words...making up a story...it was really sick and fun!!! Maybe should play this game with tendays people soon! they will love it..ahahs...making it sick also....
Well the game sort of ended when most of us were about to go home...returned my blazer and band pants back to the band after months and months...hahahs miss bedok view...love the night time when in band camp...romantic? ahahhs...no la its just something you won't see often, with friends together at night, not going home but staying in school....hahahs

Finally managed to contact john after zy suddenly called me to ask where i went - i had to say that i am going out with my friends, nota very good reason, but it seemed to worked - and told me that john can finally contacted. Chengwei and me were like waiting for john to arrive at the station...about 5 trains past the station before he arrived. Darwin came earlier to fetch us to jesslyn's house since we don't know the location at all.
At jesslyn's house the others were like all playing with the ps3 in her house...playing the game - something called dark kingdom - all i know that you have to do is to kill those enemies you see...pressing the square button on the controller...triangle to take things etc etc..john and i were like taking turns to play...
Next, when about 5 to 6pm++, jesslyn asked us to hide, some in te kitchen and some in her room...the guys were in the kitchen and then we realised that our shoes were all outside the house, and zy would definitely know something...hahhahhs
hahahs..rachel left her phone on the dining table when we were about to hide, john and i decided to put it somewhere in the kitchen and decided that the safest place would be the top of the refrigerator...hahahs
and next the guys went on to playguitar hero and the girls were eating...not long after..john and i decided to eat..and i noticed after started eating, we have been near the dining table all the time!Perhaps just eating and eating the bee hoon, fires and chicken wing...ahahs..then rachel, jesslyn, zy, john and i were like talking and joking around while eating..
Have you ever tried eating jellies with chili sauce? i remembered helping zy to take a piece of jelly when it suddenly slipped onto zy's plate and that particular area that the jelly slipped onto had chili sauce all over....ahahhs ewwww you might say...like eating chwee kueh..cos the almond jelly was white and you added chili sauce..hahhs..
My FIRST TIME ON AUDITION...hahahs..john and i were like taking turns to play once either of us missed the buttons...rather difficult...and zy said the song we played was the simplest one!..okay..i cannot play audition..hshahas
suddenly instead of playing the game john went onto the changing of costumes of the people dancing inthe game...haahahhs....zy said she no money to buy, only can try the clothes on...i guess this is one shopping for clothes where you will not feel paiseh at all....shan't talked about the choice of clothes...but it was very sick and fun anyway..hahhas
after that we rested to sit down and talk, do some light activities which would not tire us out...just plain discussion and playing have made me tired lor....hahahs..the others were still at the guitar hero while some went to watch the last episode of the 9 o'clock drama..
finally it was time to pay $$$ - $7.60 each person...john was like "hurry let's go before they say the price is changed to $10"...hahahahs
it was nice gathering...and i hope to have more of such things...to prevent loss of contacts..hhahs
ok gotta stop here...

Hellos i am back!
haven't been posting for a few days le...was busy and lazy...hahas... and i changed my blogskin, after numerous nonsensical comment from zhao ying and help from her, cheng wei and cally...thanks to you all!
For the past few days, ever since 19th november, i had been considering and considering whether to join tjc band as a guest player...finally made up my choice and i decided to join the band after much advices from friends, etc..thanks for that!
The 2nd practice i went on Sat, 22Nov was rather nice, times flies when in band...is like i came to tjc at about 9am and the 2nd time i see my time it was like 13:39...time doesn't really seem so fast at home...proceeding at a rather "ok" speed...
Firstly thought that jc life was those type of very stressful, quite tiring that type of life, but after like talking to the members of tjc flute section during section lunch, i realised that the life there can fun though...and jc people can also be sick type de...they remind me of Tendays. aww..i miss tendays..and like the blog is dead le...tendays members..if you are reading this, please help to revive the blog!
Okay i think even i announce this here, the blog would still be dead, from dying to death...perhaps our negligence was the main cause....
haiz..i still cannot regain back my standard as before...quite paiseh sometimes when i play wrong...have that feeling like the time when i was sec2 in band...going back to bvcb on wednesday - 26th nov...to reunite with my flute! heard from lorraine that my flute is still untouched...ahahahs...hope my stand is still untouched too...
well...haven't been back to school ever since graduation day on the 15th nov, kind of missing it...and like we haven't clear our things in there...all the decorations etc etc all are in there..i think 4e1 is the only class left that have yet to clear our stuffs...ahaah.. like losing contact with the 4e1 people le...i'll be meeting with some of them on monday, miss our sick discussions...
it seems like john is missing in action...calling him to the power of 10 times but still no one is picking up the phone...
alright i guess i shall stop here...lost of words probably...hahahs...

Well, for today, i went to tjc together with nic ong, liling and karen for the tjc band practice...things were getting quite of awkward then we were in the school itself...things for me started to feel different, perhaps because it isn't bedok view....While we were outside the tjc band room, we were like hesitating, whether to back out or continue to move on...i was like backing out now would make my trip wasted...(and waste my bus fare) then when someone from tjc band talked to us, we finally slowly proceeded into the band room..
Things were a little bit different from bvcb and tjc band...the way the two bands work..the atmosphere...etc etc...and they introduced me to their flute section leader known as xinyun when i told one of the members that i play the flute....the flute given was of a brand that was unknown to me, as i only know about yamaha and altus, hee....but well that flute was in a rather good conditition...i was then introduced to the two other members - jermain and cheryl - hope i remembered and spelled their names correctly.
then finally the band started to warm up, the score was called "20 tune up" or something like that if i am not wrong....haiz..too long never play le...starting to play was like very difficult.
oh my gosh the flute section of tjc band was really very power...all know vibrato, all play so nice...esp one flute solo that the SL played, super nice lo...
the first piece played was something called "danz....."- which i cannot recall cos the name was kind of like long for me to rmb- lots and lots of running notes, the time signature (6/8) was like almost disappearing from my mind le....almost cannot count...
the next piece was "celebrate" if i am not wrong...a nice piece and relatively easier compared to the first one... with the exception that the running notes were very fast, perhaps too fast for me to sight-read...
last piece played was "joyful exclamations", that piece also not bad, just that the running notes were kind of a killer....flute is always like this, running and running notes...well have to slowly play and play till i get it....
finally the whole practice ended..time rather flies when in band...the same thing applies to bvcb...well i am kind of stuck whether to join their band for their concert...if you are reading this, can help give me some comments so that i can have a bit of advice? thanks a lot.

Today - 15th nov - was my graduation day at school. Knew that today was going to be very tiring, since i have to travel to 2 places...besides that, yesterday was class party, so my muscle aches have not "disappear" yet....
Slept only for about 4h before the graduation day. Reached school with my father at about 0730, nothing to do but to sit in the canteen..and finally when it was about 0800++ when i met up with my other classmates and we assembled at the parade square.
And the first thing mr zaldy said was to check our attire since it was a school event......oh well....
After that, we proceeded to the hall...the hall was rather well decorated with balls attached on the chairs...the chair arrangement was rather nice..8 per row....and there was a rather wide gap between classes...
Went up stage for colours award after the speech by 4 people - VP, GOH, outgoing head prefect and the vice-head of the new student council. Hahas rachel was the first one to go up the stage...zhao ying behind and yuning infront of me...Didn't know why, i kept yawning and yawning to the extent whereby tear started to emerge out of my eyes...not purposely de..perhaps due to fatigue...
after the colours award was the persentation of graduation certificates..one by one went up the stage to shake hands with their form teachers....4e1 was the first to go up =) and then shook hands with mdm ng...
while others were getting their certificates, my class people were like writing messages for one another from the book that everyone received during the class party...perhaps that the reason why we didn't really scream and shout etc etc when our teachers went up the stage...
At the end we threw our ties up high and then the whole event had ended..everyone was like still busy with writing messages and some continue to taking photos...others untying the balloons and keep for themselves...nah i didn't take the balloons...feel that there's no use for it...
After all the things in the above paragraph.... my father fetched me home first since i didn't have the house keys...didn't go for the tea ceremony in the morning for my cousin's wedding since i was rather tired...
Finally at about 1630++ my family was ready to go for the wedding...and we were rather early for the wedding...almost like no one when we reached there...
started to eat and drink when about 6++ or 7++...sitting around and eating, drinking...
finally the dinner was about to start when we went into the ballroom, which was labelled outside as "salon", i don't kow why..perhaps you might know...but don't blame me, i quite long never go wedding le...
the dinner started and let me fast forward...---> they showed a video after the 3rd or 4th dish...the video was rather funny when the groom - my cousin-in-law - was to pay money to get into the house, the money used was very creative..well it was singapore dollars, but his face was printed onto the notes itself, not the face of the first president of singapore...and they had to wear those osrt of bikini costumes and pole dance or rather bamboo pole-dance...
finally after the whole dinner...i shook hands with the host, and with my cousin...then i asked her:"you remember my name mah?"...she forgot and called me my second brother's name...and finally she recalled my name...haiz...perhaps time has a way.of taking things back..like what zhao ying's blog said..lost in touch would probably make one forget his or her contacts.....ahahahs...
well the whole thing ended about 11++...was very tired after the whole day...perhaps i should stop here since after that is zZz(sleep)..........

Well, the day - Friday, 14 November 2008 - started when john and I started walking from eastpoint all the way to a bus-stop oppoosite to a condo named summer gardens(met leionn who was cycling along the way, he say want to fish at ecp). To be clearer, the bus stop was near bedok south sec...ya and we took 31 all the way to parkway parade...supposed to wait for chengwei and grayson..but only to receive smses stating like "you all go ahead first" etc etc etc
on the bus...i was listening to some music when john suddenly told me to give up my seat when a mother with her maid and child boarded the bus.....told john to wait abit longer...then after that the mother managed to find seats for herself and her child and maid...
I really wonder how come john suddenly so good arh, give seat to other people....didn't see him do that when we taking bus 38 or 12 from school to home during school time...something's wrong....
not long after, another mother with cild boarded the bus....an auntie suddenly stood up and gave her seat away...and john also gave up..leaving me there...make me paiseh...
didn't really know what to do then....not long after...an old woman boarded the bus...feeling sort of guilty...i decided to give up my seat...standing and holding onto poles...until we finally got a seat at the end...by that time..we already almost going to reach parkway le...diaos.....thats was about 1145
supposed to meet the others outside the mac opposite to parkway...then very clearly..no one in the class was there!!! then i called zhao, only to know that they went popular to buy some things. We decided to parkway first and upon turning back to mac, chengwei was there...he said he reached at 1130, which was faster and earlier than us!I think he was the one who left fiest before us.Well it seems that john and I 's "go ahead" didn't managed to catch up with chengwei..
Then the three of us walked towards popular..while we haven't reach popular, zhaoying, rachel, dion keith and darwin all appear liao...rachel and her wind..fearing of messing up her hair....then we continue sit outside mac and wait for others.
Soon, dion, john, zhao, zizing,kexin,hongye and i went to parkway to have lunch...(my 2nd entry into parkway) after lunch, dao hwee(grayson) + eric came le!ahaahhs hweeeeeeee!
Kind of paiseh lor...we all one gang sit outside mac...but no one was eating mac at all!!! to top it all, there were even starbucks cup, bubble tea, popular magazine etc etc...
okay, fast forward----------->all of us then took 36 to muba's house when ming leon arrived - almost = to ECP-7.5 guys went to take the bbq stuff...and 0.5 =female side of zhao ying...since she is almost male..hahahahhs...
fast forward ---------->finally reached ecp at around 12 ++ and suddenly like nothing to do like that when we were at our pit B1..the furthest pit if i am not wrong...muba, john, cheng wei and me went to see leionn and sunkyu +eric fish...well no fish at that time...stayed near the beach to "sunbath" and play...i must be getting old le...run abit liao then panting....john was even worse - going to puke.
Rachel gave us uno cards to play when she saw us bored...harry potter uno cards...alittle bit different from the conventional ones.....oh some played life...some sitting around..
fast forward ---> sky was getting darker(about 3++) but it didn't rain in the end...don't know why...everybody moved to the shelter near the pit and then in the end most were playing along the beach...washing our slippers using seawater wasn't a good solution for us..bleah
rode on muba's bike..not bad can travel quite fast, not like the one i rented during geography lesson...can never get faster....then decided to ride bicycle with john...a double bike(about 4++)...well that's my first time riding that.,hard to start moving and stopping..but wuite nice when riding...it really requires alot of coordination...becuase john sped when i told him to slow down at first..but hit someone's bicycle gear(due to some traffic jam), but was managed to solve it in the end....
After riding then bbq started le...ahaahhh john's slippers broke halfway...not because of the cycling but due to perhaps an accident when he tried running to carl's junior and use their toliet...
bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq it goes on on on on on on on on on on on ....
first time drink green bean soup during bbq....zhao ying cooked not bad bah i guess...lost count of how many bowls i drank..john said about 3 to 4...ok la hor...well about 1830 but still no teachers, food was finishing....
fast forward -----> then finally in the end most of the teachers came...mr chu and his wife was the first team to arrive...mrs hua and her daughter they were the 2nd to arrive and mr teo, miss ong , miss chia they were the third to arrive , mrs tiu was the 4th to arrive and lastly 4e1's mrs cheong(at 2200++). didn't really talked to them cause was trying to help fan the charcoal, but managed to talk to miuss chia because she came to talk to us haahs..
went to disturb rachel and zhao in their photo taking....got new braces while eating sharil's chocolate cake...hahs too bad no picture to show you my wonderful braces..was showing it off to zhao and rachel almost going to give zhao ying...hahs
when mrs cheong came, john, had already ate the last chocolate cake....leaving mrs cheong with none...well nothing i could do could help...
fast forward ----> finally the whole party ended...when almost everyone started to "kope" some things home...i took paper plates(for no reason) and mashed potato roll...but threw mashed potato roll away after realising from the packaging that cannot refreeze after thawing...
--Well the whole ended with aches and sweat all over my knees and blister on my toe...must be wearing shoes for too long and not used to slippers...Labels: 4e1 class of 2008
