Exchange at BN today was with Unity Sec, Chung Cheng High
(Main). BN and HS.
HS played first and surprisingly,
I wasn't so nervous like last time! We did
not too bad for our performance lah :D Then it was Unity Sec playing "Sunrise". Something really irritates me when I wanna see the band playing their song: they have tuners attached to their bell of the instrument and
wires were all over the place!
See le also headache. And their saxophone were kinda off-tune, but I saw a girl whose side view/"pattern" resembles Fanny :D
Chung Cheng went up later... they have a
piccolo trumpet (from what I heard from Yun Han),
Eb clarinet, super-mini saxophone! Ohmygosh, do they have
too much moo-lah or what! The saxophone looks like a normal saxophone but the size is 2 or even 3 times smaller than the alto! A girl plays the tenor and this saxophone lah, but she looked kinda
kuku when she's into the music and moving back and forth with the "toy-like" saxophone :D
There was an interval and the turns for bands to play reversed in order.
Packed instrument and fall in at the lobby. By the way, today's I/Cs were Ziana, Elijah and Jesslyn :D
I
knocked my head onto a stupid-botak tree while walking to the bus. Chand laughed and say,
"HAHAHA! Reggie you're too tall, THAT'S WHY you hit the tree!". I was bickering with Shuan Yong previously and he laughed with Chand too =.="
On the way back to school there were some "competition" between the woodwinds and brasses to see how each bus can go. Some girls in my bus started calling the Uncle
"Gor Gor" to please him and hurry him to go faster (LOL), Jackson kept shouting to the Uncle to
cut lane! Reached the school, had lunch and sectionals and came back home.
I was very high today :D
P/S: "Mr Bean's" movie was called-off today! :( Maybe we'll try next week.
Labels: band
what we could have been, 5:50 PM.
Went to Compass with Hui Xian, Dawn, Eunice, Jie Ying and Li Yin after band on saturday to have
Mos Burger ^^ Saw this lovely set of accesory after our lunch at Helen.

...I want this
Nintendo DS Lite! (Bro has the black one to himself and Jayce Jie T-T...)

Darren took chinese tuition recently and Fanny and I kept teasing him. We talked crap till (dunno why) I mention that "
China and India are the big giants in the (marketing) world now! You must learn chinese so that you can be successful!"Then I follow by saying,
"Aiya, if your chinese cannot make it then you go study tamil lah!"Fanny laugh till non-stop =D Darren was spitting vulgarities all over the 2 of us.
Yesterday, Shu Zhuang and I went to Band World to buy reeds and other accesories (since I have to help Elene by the cleaning swab). Took cab down to IMM and it costs around $14.40! Went straight to Band World and saw a girl purchasing dozen boxes of reeds from the counter with her Dad, supposedly she's the accesory head? Shu Zhuang bought a box of 10 of Vandoren sized 3 traditional reeds for
$29 and I bought a box of 10 V12 sized 3 1/2 reeds plus Elene's swab for a total of
$44 *faint*.
These $50 are the money I save to pay for my theory lessons!
Walked around, I bought roti-boy to eat on the way. Visited Daiso, loads of little stalls selling accesories
(heh heh) and settled on Diva. Shu Zhuang bought her big hoop earrings there when she can buy another top at I.P zone later, haha! I bought a pair of earstuds and 2 tank tops from I.P zone and Shu Zhuang bought 1 top, so we shared the money to pay. Took MRT and I slept like a log. Hopped on 74 and came back home to chiong
"Phantom of the Opera".
Won't be posting until don't know when? Probably after SYF or even CA2 bah... if I have the time.
I'm out.

what we could have been, 8:09 PM.
Mrs Koh introduced comparison skills to us by using Mr Chia and Mr Fernandez as examples. We have to name out the similarities and differences:
one has hair, one has no hair. LOL.
Kun Ying was so creepy today can? Minutes before, he was entering the classroom and talking about how his Dota tournament went and he started
shivering horribly later! This really scared Mrs Koh and she kept calling Marcus "Alvin" to accompany Kun Ying to the general office to get his parents to school.
Nobody was interested to discuss the music week thingy, stupid. Even we, the dancers, didn't know what to do either. Those who stayed back to discuss decided to go for bowling instead since the uncle told us repeatedly to keep quiet or else we'll get thrown out of the school.
The guys: Kwang Yong, Marcus, Nich, Jun Tat, Sheng Yao, Fanny, Mian Xia, Alicia, Anna, Sophia and I were all waiting for Xiao Li to find Ms Loh for her chemistry test thingy. So we waited lah, then this person told Xiao Li when she came back,
"Eh
很多人等你很久了,
如果你 last minute 又讲不要去 bowling then
对我们很 unfair lor."
Fine lah, so you're
threatening Xiao Li not to finish up CME project and go slack with you all? I thought I've told you all
2 weeks ago that the CME meeting was today? I was SO fed-up till I walked off.
I bet if it wasn't me but the person, others will chase after that person. Sophia and I went for breakfast at Mac since it's still 10.30am plus ^^.
Headed for Compass Point to buy my stuffs and chatted along the way about band matters, which she seemed really concerned all the time... maybe Chand and Julie also talk about band everytime? Temptation is inevitable for me! I bought
a pair of earrings, 3 hairclips and a handphone accessory at Montip today. Ohmygosh, I hate myself.
Went to Minitoons and I bought another
giraffe earring... I want the other cat earring too!
Anyway, we headed for Popular later and guess what I saw?

JOEY YAP! YOU KNEW
FENG SHUI?! ^^
Alicia and Xiao Li came later to my house for CME and even bought
bubble tea as an apology ^^ Wee! Chiong a little bit of o2 jam with Alicia sabo-ing me to play with the level-34 Sherwin! Sophia left at 3 plus and the 3 of us started to get serious only an hour later, haha.
Our picture board very crappy lah, one moment got Fann Wong, the other moment got Gurmit Singh. We're lazy to paint mah, hehe.
Awright, tomorrow's FTP exchange and I haven't even memorise my new parts.
Great!Labels: fed-up, sick
what we could have been, 10:22 PM.
DAY 1We were late when we reached Bedok North because the bus uncle came
late and there was a
traffic jam... he took the
longer route leh! Rushed to the hall after alighting and had combine for a while before Philwinds came. There's a clarinetist who had a
brown clarinet! Ohmygosh, but it is
very out(standing) la. Mr Lim said some of us could join them to play "Feast Day" together so after much persuasion, Hui Xian and Yun Han went! After that, we were sent to our respective rooms to put our luggage. My room had Hui Xian, Hayley, Elene, Felicia, Vivien, Elleen, Josephine, Jesslyn, Siti, Dawn (room I/C) and I (assistant room I/C).
We were chomping on our McChicken burgers away outside the classrooms when Faith walked around to ask if anyone needs chilli. Suddenly the row of lights outside the classroom went off! The girls at the first 3 rooms were like,
"Eh Faith! 开灯 leh!". Faith's eyes grew big and her mouth widened, just as she was saying
"How I know to switch on the lights?!"(something like that)
and pointing her finger to her lights like dancing "Saturday Night Fever"...
ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON!I nearly choked on my burger! Then Dawn's burger
rolled like a wheel onto the floor and Hui Xian, Hayley, Elene and I laughed like mad!
When my room had just slept for a few minutes, Elleen went
missing suddenly. Dawn alerted me to find Elleen with her and the whole room woke up. I grabbed my torchlight and jacket, wore my slippers and specs and set off according to Josephine that Elleen
"went to the shower to find her hairband". Dawn split up and she went to the canteen's side to find Elleen while I went near the vending machine and I found her! I called out to Dawn to come back and guess what?
Elleen just went to the water cooler to drink water...DAY 2HS screwed up this day.
Our breakfast, lunch and dinner
all came late. The shower rooms were
packed with people. We had a total of 6 hours of sectional that day bah, then clarinet section kept clapping and shouted "
好!" when we finished sectionals.
So we went to AVA room to watch Japan's top band videos. Some of us
fell asleep, including me, while watching the video. Mr Lee slept too okay. Mr Lim came in and was
furious, he shouted at us to fall-in downstairs at the Parade Square. He commanded us to get into
pumping positions and stand up as quick as possible, run and touch the podium and come back repeatedly. Fitri took over as Mr Lim told him to tell us to do
hentak-khaki non-stop. Sigh, really
regretted sleeping. We were given the
privilege to stay in air-con room to watch video but we threw the chance away and went to do gruelling physical activities under the sun at 3pm plus, when the sun was the
most blazing.There was the Spider game and Dog-and-Bone during games time. Daniel Chan was the big winner of the day! He ran super fast until a saxophone guy couldn't catch him!
Had night combine in the hall with Mr Lim, I was relieved that he wasn't that furious like just now in the afternoon. We played without scores and it went PERFECT! Ohmygosh! Even Mr Lee and Mr Fahmy were stunned! YAY! After Mr Lim said "Not bad."went away for a while, the whole band clapped and cheered loudly
"好!"There was a "Find the Alumni" game at night after we bathe... pfft. So my group had a mixture of BN and HS clarinettists. Jessvir was the leader and I found out that
Rui Yu resembles Hayley ALOT! Grace resembles Mian Xia ALOT too!Anyway, we ran to our first station which they think the person is Yong Lin. We ran past the basketball court towards the street soccer court when Yong Lin's ball suddenly
hit Eunice's head
hard! Eunice's reaction was immediately to squat down, cover her head with both hands and "cry"! Yong Lin was shocked and rushed over... until we all realise that Eunice does this crying sound all the time when she's bullied (by Hui Xian), haha!
Yong Lin told us that we came to the wrong question, so we ran to the stairs next to the canteen to find Rafidah and she asked us a load of questions before telling us that this wasn't the station we were looking for! Actually the HS people didn't really understand the question and who we were supposed to find because we didn't really know all the alumni of BN. Then we ran to the bus stop in front of the school to find Khairul and he led us to the next station which is Haziq. Our next station was to do the
chicken dance until time is up!
Joey looked
pissed off with her leader. She said that she was enthusiatic enough to participate in the game when Karen got the first clue, but
Karen didn't wanna share with HS clarinettists! Joey said that Karen played this game on her own, didn't even cared about HS. Hai... I reminded her that it's just a game but she's still hot on the head.
By the way, saw Mei during sectionals (hehe). Choir just started camp.
DAY 3There was an exchange with Philwinds at LaSalle college. Philwinds clarinettists told us some techniques to play and how to play certain parts which were very
useful! And there's an alto sax guy with golden hair who looked like a girl! I mean, he isn't handsome but he's too PRETTY!
Shu Zhuang sort of "lost" her stand in LaSalle and was panicking. Faith answered a call and calmed Shu Zhuang that her stand is with our tutor and he's giving it to the saxophone tutor to return it.
Had Captain's ball during games time. We were really tired after the game, so Hui Xian and I sat at the side to rest and talk.
Mr Lee anyhow kick football until it flew and
hit Hui Xian's right shoulder blade really hard! Fitri joked that she can sue Mr Lee for teacher-student abuse and Mr Lee just said "Sorry sorry sorry!" and went somewhere else to play.
Reached BN and had night combine. After playing our choice piece and set piece, BN gave comments on certain sections when Mr Lim said that we can disagree with their opinions on our playing and vice-versa. Oh yah, today's meals came on time, in fact it's earlier!
After bathing, I took my stuffs and walked to the stairs leading to the classrooms when I saw Dickson, Jackson and Ryan played with the
shadows. Dickson had the butt of the dustpan as a spear and stabbed Jackson at first while Ryan was in front, then Jackson shouted,
"RUNNN!"
Dickson stabbed both of them through the body with his spear and slashed them into half. So fun! Then Elene tried to punch and slap Shi Min (flute) using the shadow, haha!
Dawn, Elene, Hayley, Hui Xian and I chatted and Hui Xian said that Yong Hua's hands looked
抽精 when we were doing the cycling motion in today's PT. Dawn, Elene, Hayley and I started to talk about
childhood stuff and played primary school games like
"Oh (Cater)pillar". We found out that the words didn't make sense at all! Then we played an even OLDER game (my kindergarten favourite game to play when teacher is not around)
"鸡蛋!鸡蛋!". Jesslyn came and told us to go to sleep when we were about to start. We got scolded by Xin Hong because lights were supposed to be out at 11pm but it's 12am already.
DAY 4Then today is about the
大便 problem already because Shuan Yong asked me last morning, "Hui Yi
你有大便吗?" LOL. Weird question!
Elene, Jing Yin and I DETOXIFIED before the exchange started. FTP came and played their songs, then HS and FTP kept playing "Sunrise" as Mr Lim was teaching us about correcting the mistakes we normally make.
Had telematch playing the Scissors-Paper-Stone game. There was a match between the excos of HS and BN and there were different cheers for different exco members of HS, created by Jackson. The cheers were very sarcastic lah... don't wanna put it here just in case it offends them.
Unpacked stuff when I reach home and slept from 6pm till today's 7am.
爽!TODAYMet Sophia at the lights with Xiao Li at 8.20am plus for SS lessons. Nicholas didn't receive his orange booklet, poor thing. Mrs Koh taught and stopped for a while to talk to us about the accident when the Soup-Spoon restaurant chef
killed his manager with a
chopper in the kitchen, which happened like 2 days ago. The camp made me lost contact with the world, haha. Sophia and I went for brunch at 10.30am plus since Mr Gan isn't in the lab. He taught us the digestive system and there was a term called "Boluses" in plural form. He said,
"It's not BALL-LESS ah! Not no balls ah!"I told Sophia,
"If boluse (pronounced as ball-less) no balls le, then boluses (ball-less-ses) means don't even have balls!"Ohmygosh, so censored!
3/4 of the class went home and the rest stayed back to discuss the music project thingie till 1 plus. Went to find Yun Han and Charmaine who were having sectionals first since they had nothing to do. Blah blah blah, sectionals officially began at 4pm in music room. Jie Ying missed out QUITE A LOT during camp, hehe. I've got loads to catch up with her. Jie Ying and I were communicating by writing at the back of my scores when the tutor was talking, hehe. When Jie Ying showed Faith what I wrote
"
好 MAN OH!"
Faith snatched my paper away and read!!! Jie Ying's reaction got very VERY big like freaking out every single second. Faith started to laugh at what we wrote and didn't understand some words we wrote. She even join the conversation. Finished sectionals and I got tuition at 5.30pm! I ran under the rain to Lizbox. Drenched.
Me:
*enters Lizbox and puts clarinet case on the floor*Mrs Ang & Ms Yeo: "
Aiyoh Hui Yi! Why like that?"
Me:
*faintly* "Hehe..."
Mrs Ang:
*suddenly* "Eh,
你来做么?"
Me:
*about to open door* "E.math lor!"
Ms Yeo:
"今天没有 e.math! 今天才礼拜二!"Me:
"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"Mrs Ang: "
你等一下, 我帮你拿雨伞."
Ms Yeo: "Hui Yi,
why so blur? Then now you're drenched."
Me: "Arghhh. Sian la.
我忘记!"Zzz. Here I am now.
Anyway, Josephine cried and pushed all the blame to her SL about the t-shirt thingie and said that "Hui Xian's group" gave her
attitude. Hui Xian's group meant Dawn, Hayley, Elene, Hui Xian and I who slept together.
When did we gave her attitude? Dawn and I
didn't scold her like
"Eh wah lao, Elleen not in shower room lor! She just go water cooler drink water lah." when she gave us wrong information to find Elleen.
Hui Xian, Dawn, Hayley, Elene and I chatted before we slept, but we didn't even bad-mouth about her in our conversations!
Sigh.Labels: band, performance, stress
