you used to be the reason, for my smile.
chinese test, english, chinese, c.lit test, home econs
its a wonder i didn't die of boredom
band is getting more and more stressful
regina just dropped the bomb that we wuld be joining main band in term 4
i don't want ):
at least we had mr choy today. olivia thinks he's cute? ohmygosh. he keep doing that weird tongue clicking and eyebrown raising thing that everyone thinks is cute but i think its annoying. and he pronounces saxaphones as 'saxer-ferns' and clarinets as 'carine-nets'. ah well... at least he's nice, quite funny, nt fierce and has a sense of humour. and he praises us too (: and i think he's a quite good conductor cos there's like feelings and everything in his conducting and the way he conducts is like, very very professional and rythemic. unlike ms sia who always use the un-hearable metronome.
and i embarrassed myself twice today during combined
you know that kind of thing its like so noisy and suddenly everyone just shuts up and you're the only one left talking and everyone is looking at you?
ok, 1st time was when me and olivia were arguing abt how high the stand shld be cos she likes it low and i like it high and then cos when its high i can't put it in front of me cos my slide keeps hitting it so i put it beside me slanted and she started going 'see, see, who ask you put so high' and i got very pissed cos i liked it high and the other time my stand was low i kept looking down at the scores and sia threatened to kick me out and i got so pissed i said super loudly, "i like it high! i need it high!" when everyone just went silent after mr choy's signal and everyone started laughing at me ):
2nd time was the same situation when me and olivia were arguing again abt how el capitan is supposed to be played... frm e 1st time bar to 2nd time or just straight to 2nd time. then i think we were arguing pretty loudly and just when it went silent, i went "nononono its la la la la (sings)" ohmygosh lah. why is it always me?
i am dreading the day we join main band
i realised that in band, there is so much more to holding an instru and blowing air into it
i have to learn to:
- sight read faster
- memorize notes and positions
- improve tone
- get correct pitch
- use more air support
- blow high notes
- blow long notes
- stop pressing against my mouthpiece
- position faster
- improve embouchure, drop jaw more
- look at the conductor
i can't really rmb anymore
anyway, i am getting quite fed up with some of e section greens
i am quite sorry to say that
but i am
actually, i really want to scream and curse and rant on and on abt certain ppl that i'm really sick of and hate to the end of the earth but i haven't really got much time
i shall bear with it for awhile and do all my hate posts some other day
tmr is one of my very rare afternoon-free weekday. i am going to have a decent lunch somewhere like jacks place or wasabi cos i miss those cheap student weekday set lunches i have been deprived of since full band prac and everything started. then, i shall shop for birthday presents and teacher's day presents. and go to popular to get stuff for some ppl and asean pw. i shall then go home to settle the asean brochure nonsense, and then do all my absurd homework. i shall then have dinner and go to sleep
my plan even involves projects
when will i ever have a proper free day?
even the hols aren't hols anymore
i am going to work on the rubbish home econs pw now
