Well, back to being a normal student again, with school assignments, projects, and dreadful lectures. Just the thought of it sent goosebumps through my spine. ~_~

If I hadn't opened my purse and saw the ticket, I would have forgotten to come for Honey(Yes, that's her name)'s Sakuran Club Cosplay Art Festival like I promised. It was quite late, 6.30pm.

It's stated 6.30pm, but everyone was idealising inside the TFA till 7.30, where it finally started.

And in the middle, I saw some familiar faces. Mr Han, Ms Rene, and Mr Guru was there as well. Wow!

Hey Guys! I'm Back From Vienna!

There's so much to tell that I think I can write a whole book about it!
It was such an eye opener! First time to experience cold weather, and first time seeing so many Caucasians!

We are the champion for the SCL competition, Hurray for that! The reward is... 1300Euro!! Which is around $3000! Of course, the money went to the school.

I took a lot of pictures over there. took 7GB of my laptop space. You can imagine how many photos I took.

Spoof

There are more, but I dun think I can upload it by today. Haha!

Mom bought me a new camera exclusively for my Vienna trip, Yippee~~
But still got to share it with my family. So in other words, it's not fully mine.
Haiz...

Logging off to pack my luggage!

My VISA has been approved! Finally, I was worried that it would turn out to be rejected.

Just came back from from French Embassy, now in school, intending to meet Yu Hang, until he sms-ed me that he is sick and can't come. Well, get well soon, tomorrow start school liao, dun miss out the lectures. Now I'm in library, waiting for 12.45, where I'm going to pay Bandz Out T-shirt. It's quite dumb, it's as though I came to school just to pay the T-shirt, which wasted my 2 hours, traveling back and forth, not including waiting time.

Mom is coming to Singapore today, Wohoo! She's gonna help me in buying all the necessary stuff for the Vienna trip, including... A CAMERA! MY OWN PERSONAL CAMERA! OMG!!!!!

A major problem occurred for our Vienna trip, we can't use Photocopied scores there, Sar said it's the rule. We do have all the original scores in our hand, EXCEPT FOR "LEGEND OF YAO"! And we, the librarians have to come early before practice today to discuss about this issue. And I still have to go shopping with my mom, time is rather packed lately. Just hope that this trip will be a pleasant one.

Maybe it's because I've not been playing games for quite some time, now my eyes hurt after I played a whole day of PS2. Strange, it doesn't hurt the last time I played.

New shelf was added into the band room on Friday, exclusively for the percussion section. Now we got more space for all our instruments. The setting up was fun, with Wati doing the wiping of old instruments, while Ruo Zhen, Jolyn and me vacuumed the dusty carpet. Spring cleaning while listening to High musics sure helps a lot. It gives you the kick to do more than you used to give. The band room looked so heavenly for the first time in my NYPSO life. But it went back to it's normal state again soon after the SCL practice. Well, I guess it can't be helped, That's NYPSO...

I went to the band room today, even though there's no practice. Just helping out with moving of instruments. The band room looks weird without its curtain, too white. And it looked even weirder when the mallets were taken. Now there's only empty space there.

I meddled with the drums, since there's no percussionist in the room. Opening and closing of the rim, I noticed a lot of things that I never know about. And I think I screwed one of the drums too tight, it feels and sounds odd. It's okay, it will give others a reason to meddle with the drums as well.

This is really hectic, Voice Out trial run after Common Test, and Band after Voice Out.

Nothing really happens during the trial run, except the fact that more people started to help out in this event, even when they are from other events. The contestant came at 5pm, and among 12 of them, I saw 6 familiar faces. 2 Senior OGLs, 2 OGL, Eunice and one other girl from the clarinet. I just realised I never asked for her name, haha. Anyway, she sang beautifully, good job. It's kind of cool to see talented people performing on stage. There is this one guy, singing JJ's song and his voice! Holy Shit! It sounded as though it came out from JJ himself!

Went to band halfway of the trial run. Stomach was hungry, but no more time to eat. I tried to undo and redo the crash cymbal "grabber", trying out the technique i learnt from Kim Seng. Woah, it works. Haha.

Jolyn is so~ scary when she got enthu
O.O *Shivers*

No lar, it's a good thing. Just not used to it. Haha!

Wooh~~ Ms Nadirah misses our batch!

I think scolding is an effective form of teaching. Yeah, it is hurtful, but that is exactly the point that makes me believe that it is effective. I read from a book that when you were being scolded, your brain releases a chemical that will makes you nailed that time of your life into your memory. Quite Cool eh? No wonder the commander in the army were so fierce. Not that I scold to teach, I mean, I believe that it is effective towards me, just that I'm not sure about the rest of the people.

Going oversea has never been so complicated. Applying Visa, Applying Visa for another Visa. Man, it's irritating. I've gone to the embassy 4th time already, only then they accept my documents! And I still have to wait for 3 weeks for my Visa to be approved(or rejected, if it's rejected, GG, no need go Vienna liao). And they only opens from 8 to 12!? I got to wake up early for these few days. Let's just hope my Visa is approved.

By the way, I was in the MRT train when I stumbled into this cute conversation between a mother and a son.

Son : Can I go out here?
Mom : Cannot.
Son : Why?
Mom : Which station are we at?
Son : Tiong Bahru
Mom : We are at Orchard Road (Road???)
Son : Orchard Road... Orchard Road, I also want to go Orchard Road.
Mom : Why do you want to go Orchard Road?
Son : Because Orchard Road... got something...

Well, I dunno why, I just find it cute for a child to say such thing. Sounds so innocent...

Yesterday was busied by my IP Assingment. 6 consecutive hours doing it and it's still not done. And my sis suddenly wanted to watch Narnia, along with my bro, at 9.30! That is just like an hour after due time for my IP Assignment lar! Was rushing like mad to finish it, even skipped dinner. But in the end only 85% done. Haiz, never mind, will make up with my written paper.

Narnia was................. AWESOME~~~ No idea how to describe the whole experience, and Jonathan said the movie was lame.

After the movie, we stayed back for a while just in case there were extra clip, but there were none. By the time, everyone has left the building, and the whole building was empty... and scary. The dark staircase and dark corners...Kinda like Resident Evil, fun experience.

This might be a little late, but anyways...

The concert was amazing! It was much much much much better than the one we rehearsed! I dunno why, but it has always been like that for any performances that we've done. Special ability of our Percussion Ensemble? Woah, so cool.

The starting of the concert, I suddenly turned nervous and my whole body was shaking, even while I was playing didgerido, my breath was shaking as well and I was afraid wrong sound was produced, but luckily it doesn't.

Technology was fun! My very first time playing drum set in a performance. But I gotta stop opening my mouth while playing drum set, looked so unglam.

Rockin' Rickie Rocket was the hardest piece of all. Not only must we have to act, but also synchronize with the "sound makers". And THE WIG! Oh, don't get me started. It was so furry and the hair was like half fallen off, at least for mine. It was horribly tangled up together and it just can't stop going into my mouth while I was playing. But somehow I was glad that happened, it gives the funny element into the piece.

The Encore piece, Mo Java was a challenge. It has been quite a while since we played that. I can't move while playing as well as before, realising that, I gave up on moving and just concentrate on my notes.

So, everything is over. Looking forward for our next concert.

Well, it's over.
Thinking back, I think I've been too engrossed in Band.
Yep, how can i be so enthu in band and not my study?
Good question,

anyone please tell me when you have the answer.

What a happy-go-lucky-guy...

Yesterday just came back from Main Band Camp. I saw Foreign Body people Locking just outside our bunk! I felt so enlightened... Hehe... Shall try some of the move on my own.

Locking = <3

Well done in stacking up your work into mountainous piles of paper. One day it might just came crushing down on you. Better buck up in clearing them as soon as possible, you've still got band concert to concentrate on. And don't forget there's band camp this Friday, which means you don't have much more time to slack.

Rawr~!! ARGH!!!! I really got to start on my pilling works. Currently in needs of motivation.

Just came back from Ensemble Camp Yesterday. It was freaking tiring I tell you, even for me.

1st Day(Friday/Before Camp)
My Least favorite time of the week, cause my lessons end at 8.30 from 10 in the morning. I tried finishing my Lab early for the last lesson, but still, failed. The camp which started at 5.30, I came at 8.30. By the time I arrived, everybody is already half way with their practice.

After the practice, We'll, we went to our camp site... Block E third floor... haha. Put our bags in and time for ice breaking games, in the stadium. It was nearing 12 when we get to the stadium, and we played wacko with 3 WACKER! Holy shit! And the circle was so big, we really have to run to get to our target. The next game was husband and wife, with a little twist. Yep, it involves running as well. By the end of the day, everyone was panting hysterically. Okay, I exaggerated. Haha. Everyone was bonding well, felt good, kind of reminds me of the OGL Days, haha. The lights in the stadium suddenly off-ed and we went back to our bunk.

Everybody was so looking forward to take a bath. I was too scared to bath alone, so I tagged along with whoever was going to take a bath. Apparently those people were LY, Sze Hao, Jackson, Eugene and Rong Zheng. Haha, We seniors sometimes can be so anti-juniors, Went to the stadium admiring the stars ourselves. While Robin was telling his personal encounters with the unknowns. It freaked me out, and I tried sitting closer with whoever besides me. And Jong got such a cool camera. It can do some nasty stuff, Cool!

Well, it marked the end of the first day, at least for me, cause I'm the first one to fell asleep.

2nd Day(Saturday)
All of us were awakened by Ridwan's spontaneous singing when he entered the bunk. He said he didn't sleep and was trying to stay awake by singing with his guitar. And he is not the only one, Jia Jun, Jong, Daniel and Lun tat were staying up with him, throughout the the whole night! Anyway, Val said it's time to prepare for the next game, which involves getting wet, hehe. But for some reason it was postponed, and after that canceled. So we only played dodge-ball, which was fun! Tiring, but Fun! Jump here jump there, like monkey. Haha! The loser got thrown at with water bombs, luckily it wasn't me, but I still got wet somehow. Haha! Everyone was having fun. But there still some people who haven't got infected by our Enthu-ness. Haha, it's okay, we still have 2 years to infect them.

Nothing special really happened during the practice, but everyone looks tired as though they might fall anytime. That was the reason why we canceled the postponed game.

1 thing to complain about is the food. The breakfast was ok, but for dinner and lunch, ewww...

By the end of practice, it was already 9 o'clock. We ordered Mac, but when it arrives, I fell asleep, but still woke up when they came back. But what the heck, no sauce? No Straw?But it's okay, since the guy willing to come back to give us the sauces and straw. Me, Wati, LY, Sze Hao and Eugene went down to collect, while talking about some spooky stuff. It freaked me out, again.

To compensate last night's embarrassment of being the first to sleep, I stay awake until everybody sleeps and be the last one to sleep. Hehe. But in the end, still fail, cause Val and Kit were still awake. Damn, beaten by 2 girls. And Shirlyn was left sleeping peacefully outside ofthe bunk with her bed-like float.

3rd Day(Sunday)
Body ached all over, stupid hard floor. Didn't really get a good night sleep. I fell asleep during our last practice, many times. Well, Jasper came back for us. He guided us through the brain-wrenching Rockin Rickie Rocket. You rocks, man. Good luck with your NS.

After the practice, we took group photos. With Dennis help, we managed to take lots of embarrassing shots. And that marks the end of the camp. Dennis is so nice, sending me and Val home. But in the end cause Dennis got to do something, He could only drop me somewhere at Eunos. Luckily he showed me the way to MRT, but I don't know what bus to take! No choice, use walking, with my super irritating luggage. Walked all the way to Eunos MRT, which I think took almost 1/2 an hour. Then I realised it is near my Secondary School. I could take the bus instead, but that means I'll have to walk some more. But it will be the same if I take MRT cause from MRT to my house is about 15 minutes walk, with the luggage, i think it increased to 20. So I took the bus and Damn! I fell asleep and missed my stop! Was so irritated then. But still managed to reach home by taking back the bus from the other side.

Phew, So Damn tired. Even now.

My lap top is ill! The icons went ki siao liao!



Somebody Help me!

Didn't expect myself to go out today, but still, in the end went out to look for a wig with Ridwan for upcoming concert. We were like lost duck there, searching our way from Bugis to Lavender. But with the help from Ridwan's friend, finally arrived at the costume shop. It was my first time in a costume shop and I was like, "Woah~" all the way. I saw a bunny suit there. Hehe, Spartan uniform, mascot costumes, it was costume heaven i tell you.

I kinda doubt Ridwan's gender after seeing this...

Well, I thought the blue wig is nice, but the wig is too big for me, and it slipped off easily when I shake my head. Furthermore, we agreed that I'll be taking afro and he'll be taking long straight wig.

Later on Ridwan took me to a music shop, where they sell music instruments, like guitar and stuff. Bought a drumstick, and now I'm broke. Gotta start saving up already, or get a part-time job...
