Today!!!! Band Practice

Exciting day of my life..

Today woke up at 7.30....Reach school at 8.20

DO u know what happened? The band room was flooded due to the rain seeping through the doors! Instruments, cases, scores were totaLLY WET. I was lucky that I brought back my trumpet or else it may have drowned and died. haha. Today was so kiosk in the band room, drying scores at the canteen saving "drowned" instruments and wiping it dry.Everyone was stuck outside band room waiting to take out their instruments to play but it was so wet. I can't believe that the band room is underground and it is still flooded.We played in the canteen because of that. The seniors in the trumpet team taught us how to play properly and test us some scales we need to know. The seniors were way so good at playing! we learn until the high C but they can play until the Higher C! It was so high, so beautiful and well-played. Compared to us, we were way below their standard. Perhaps they are older than us and have learned more notes than us. We were quite embarrassed as they were asking us to play ode to joy, merrygoround,twinkle little star whereas they were playing nice and majestic songs. I really waant to be like them one day.. Trumpet!!!

In the afternoon, it was an interesting day. I met up with Jolene to buy a PrimaDeli cake to celebrate the March babies. We enjoyed ourselves playing cards. stress and boys were playing billard and refused to eat the cake.. I don't care as hey have missed the chance. They said on diet...... can't believe it.

It is inddeeedd a enjoyable and fun day, meeting up with past friends and playing with them. i did not expect to have so many people coming to this gathering. Perhaps should invite lesser people next time! Hope there will be another one next month, as this can strengthen our friendship. Hope it will be more fun than this one....
Third day...

Wednesday......... woke up at 8,45! Later and Later!

At 10.00am, I went down to the clubhouse to study with Jolene. Time to study already, I completed half of my homework and I became so happy for the rest of the day.. haha.. only half. Jolene went to my house in the afternoon to do her project work on MSN with her friends. What was I doing? I was actually playing my TRUMPET! I find it very weird to play it at home as compared to the band room it is extraordinary loud or maybe it is more quiet in my house. Jolene tried blowing the trumpet but she kept laughing because of the sound produced while she is blowing. She said it was very difficult and I totally agree.It was kiosk after that, not going to tell u what happened. Other than that, there was renovation in my neighbours house! The neighbour looks and name is still a mystery to us. I hope our new neighbours were not the type that we have seen on TV, rowdy kind, unhappy kind. Hope so...the construction works were so noisy that I nearly put cotton wools in my ears ...JK. I think I heard some music coming out from the house and I suppose that the construction workers are have a mini karoake while constructing. Humorous right? It is true I think. It is simply annoying! The notice on the door says that hacking works will only be done on 5,6 7 March.. It had already passed but worse.. Drillings knockings.

They say they will move in by April... How long can I tolerate such a noise!!! 2nd Hate- Noisy constuction works at neighbours' house!
2nd day! Band Practice

It was in the morning at 7.45 when I woke up! Band Practice from 9 to 12! Quite bored but I managed to get the lighter case to put my beloved baby in!(TRUMPET!) I decided to bring it back home then and.. PRACTiCE. I don't wish to be tranferred out from trumpet! I Love Band CSB Cedar Symphonic Band. In the Band we have squat too! Surprised? we must stand straight and stamp our feet in the band room at the end of every band practice. I did not manage to play the concert C major as I had some difficulty in blowing it. Playing the trumpet does not sound easy. It is very hard at first and when u learn to reach the high notes it ets more difficult. There is always another wall to climb over after u have completed another. from C to G to A to B to higher C.. that is what I am mastering now. Practice makes perfect!!!! A trumpet have three valves and it sounds HIGH! My seniors are great! They can play so HIGH>>>>>>

Today is a wet day.. March is always a wet day.... Hate raining all of the sudden. Sis went to Australia to explore crabs in Christmas Island for 1 week! She left last Thursday. She just came back from camp and she is going to another country again.. Unfair.....so lucky.....
First day!

Super excited. I thought I would be able to rest and relax then as I have so many days to do my homework! I am wrong..... Watching my favourite show ZHU MENG. It was so exciting! Zhu Meng is a hero whose father wish was to save the people( guchaoxianyiming) but he died eventually as he was fooled by the enemy. Everyone liked his father and treated him as a hero but he also have lots of enemies. Zhu Meng was not born yet when he went missing. Nobody knows that his mum had the hero's child because she was married to a prince who also knows her situation that it was dangerous to live alone as the enemy of his father will kill her if they finds out. The prince became the emperor and had two wives. The first wife was very jealous of Zhu Meng's mother and hated them. She had two sons who also wanted to become the next emperor.Zhu Meng grew up and became mischievous as he was too pampered. The emperor was very angry with him and decided chase him out of the palace. There he met a man in a mountain jail where nobody ever knows except those who were guarding it. That man was blind but yet he was very good at fighting. He thought him how to fight well but nevertheless he did not know that he was actually his father. The father was killed by one of the sons(daisu) of the first wife, but before his death, Zhu Meng and his mother finally knows about his identity. Zhu Meng knew his fathers' wish and wanted to complete it and also revenge for the death of his father. He became very good at fighting and through a contest, the first wife and the two sons were flabbergasted at his outmost progress. They became afraid suddenly and planned to kill both of them. The story continued as he brings the guchaoxianyiming to another land out of his own country and saved many lives, reuniting korea.

It is indeed a wonderful show that u all should watch, I am still watching it halfway. I love it! I knew the ending as Evangeline told me. It is way so thrilling.There is no regrets after all. The story is full of hatred,love and anxiety! Interesting! Although it is a gudai korean show, u can learn lots of chinese words from it too... thats why my father allows me to watch it.. haha

Band Prac the next day... Trumpet!!
School hols are here! I still have to go back to school for band practice. I like playing the trumpet,no, in fact, I LOVE it but my sprits dampened after I received the news that some of us are going to tranfer to other instruments. Conclusion? must practice hard as practice makes perfect. The school holidays were perfect for me as I can wake up late and can relax and enjoy myself. Haha. No! I've got many holiday assignments to do but there is no mood to do it at all. Sad..... Time is passing way fast this holiday. Monday, Tuesday, wednesday and it is all over now! Now is Thursday! My English teacher asked us to write a journal everyday to improve my English so I prefer to blog. Let me tell u what I am doing the past few days........

rewind...time machine.......
