finally... a breather... and a GOLD... but the story goes on... the memories remain...
i'm finally back!!! i'm sorry to have neglected u ppl so long... anyway I'M BACK!!!! with not very gud news though...
well... if u still didn't noe by now (which u ought to b shot by now!), the thing that kept me busy for the past few wks was SYF!!!! yea i'm in band... the last syf... aft battling countless obstacles we as a band have finally done it and obtain a GOLD on 11th may!!!! nothing regretful... we were already prepared to obtain a gold, not with e honors... oh well.. aft using so much of the sku's resources... n we weren't able to produce a GWH... n worst spoilt ur line of half days... i'm really sorry...
well... no regrets about gold... cos what matters is the whole process... we had fun, shared tears, had chickens, had cup noddles, irritated ppl... and lots more... all together as a section and as a band... if u asked we would i have done differently if i were given another chance my answer would b NO...
well we all felt that there were some undeserving bands of their award, whether it was supposed to be beta or for the worse... like TJC!!! it was really worth the wait for them... and bustle and jostle... n TRIN was playing the picc.. CAN U BELIEVE IT?!?! haha just kidding... trin is the most talented amongst the 3 of us...
anyway here's the recount of syf day... i woke up at 5.10am... rushing thru my breakfast and forcing as much down my throat... quickly washed up and double checked everything and rushed off to sku with my dad fetching... guess what time i reached sku? freaking 6am!!! when nobody was there at all... den i saw fiona haha... den everybody started to come... the door was still locked... so i prac outside... poor animals couldn't slp longer... den band started... took quite long to settle our attire... den had combine warmup and mr ho rehearsed us... that's when the tchrs told us one of our buses were held up in the jam... so we split up to sit the tchrs' cars n we sat on mr ho's!!!! haha sorry anthony... anyway reached there... waited for quite some time... xy burst a balloon... made quite some bit of noise... finally tuned and got ready...
den it was the ACTUAL THING... was very focused in safari... too focused that i forgot about music totally... so it just went past me... den internal combustion... marui and anthony were PERFECTLY TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME EVA!!!! omg... the beginnning was quite good... den finally woke up at 125... realised i not in any sense making music... den started to move with the music... by the time it reached 283 we were ALL MOVING, in body, in music, and the audience!!! all went well until the last note which ended with a SUPER OBVIOUS SQUEAK!!!! ARGGGGGGG!!!!! i so wished i could take the score and write squeak on the clarinet's part on the conductor's score... oh well...
aft that didn't feel gud @ all... so went on back to nj to put instruments... had a drink where i met shuning and ailin... they asked about us... so nice of them!!!! but i told them the truth, that it wasn't too gud... oh well... cindy broke down on the way back WHEN SHE PLAYED PERFECTLY WELL FOR HER SOLO AND STUNNED THE AUDIENCE!!!! dun cry!!!! cheer up!!!! u are always luved by us all whateva did wrong!!!! anyway went back n ate lunch at old chang kee... was quite nice... heard that even the judges were lost for our piece... haha... that sort of comforted me... den went back to watch the other bands... they were really gud... esp TJC... n hated some bands... shan't name them... anyway den it was results... we all agreed to go out cos we really didn't want to b separated... so everybody was crowding around the handfones listening to the results that were barely audible... anyway it soon came to us... "Band no.6, National Junior College, GOLD!" we stunned for a while in total silence, cos most of us wanted gwh, but in the end broke the silence and cheered unwillingly... really sad... aft that listened on to other results... well not all the gwh bands deserved it... at least one didn't... oh well... mr alvin leong was super funny... he was going like "no justice" or smth... haha... anyway went home with 4 guys in total silence... partially due to shock, partially due to exhaustion... reached home, listened to internal combustion for the last time, and closed the chapter on it... went to bathe and slp... didn't take dinner... until this morn... came on the com... watched a bit of tv.... just didn't want to go back to hw... felt emo in the aftnoon... cried mildly cos i really missed the times of fun, not the results... oh well... smsed the rest of my section to thx them for the memorable times... was really feeling down... den listened to watchman tell us of the night and macchu picchu... felt so much beta... oh well... i'll nvr forget these memories... really enjoyable times... n i'll really miss them...
