yest was tiring. extremely boring. and fun. woke up early early. went to tp. met zhencong. nice place. very bright. very inviting. he treated me to brownies and mushroom soup. =). hoho. thank you! i think tp gave out the worst goodie bag. nth inside sia. lol. wanted to meet azman. but he came out late. and i didnt wana be late for band. so i turned him down.

he was happy coming late for band. cause he got to spend time with huda.

met hao wency and amos. happy happy at last. haha. heard they all warming up. sounds very raw. and terrible. lol. den talk rubbish. play songs. lol. so many missing parts. amos counting was so terrible. hahaha. always play too fast or too slow. and wency try to speed up all the songs. den play ross roy. so many memories. play celeb. wah lao. my tone sucks. my sight reading sucks. and worse of all. i cant PITCH. wah hahahah. so funny i find. but hey hey. my rhythm is still going strong.

working in private companies. attending meetings. doesnt tt teach u the basic manners of being punctual? late for 1.5 hrs? ha. please. maybe take up some obedience class. use a little bit of brains too. yest was the first band practice in a long time for every single one of us. do u think we warmed up well just playing 2 scales? *faints. and the girl beside me. honestly. i swear. i was really sincere when i wanted to ask her 'do u need my help?' when i saw her opening her slide chart for each scale. and its only Bb and F major scale.

best section of the day? clarinets. bah. so boring. boring boring boring. worst 2.5 hrs of my life. two horribly boring songs. salute to louis armstrong and intermezzo for band? oh my god. first time i saw it. i was like. so easy? but i didnt wana be so bad. learn to be nice and stuff? so i was like nah. its ok. surely some of the songs we played before are as easy as this. good grief. nth frm our repertoire came as easy as that. not even celeb. intermezzo? tune not so bad. good for warm up. i have nth but long notes. the hardest i have is a crotchet. and still the girl beside me cant play for the life of her. easier than famous canon also.

really boring. 15 mins break stretched to so long. long enough for them to finish their ciggies. they offered us cake. CAKE! how to rinse mouth sia? water was boiling inside the toilet. just sat there and rot. observed ppl and all that. and the worst thing was? no one talked to us. never even made an effort. we are the newbies. shouldnt they introduce themselves first? if they still feel apprehensive abt us. why still ask us to join?

this isnt what i expected of alumni band. this isnt the standard i expected. when we were still with honeyy. playing a little pop pieces once in a while is still fine. tho he makes noise sometime. and my dear seniors. making so much noise the last time honeyy said u were all nth but a pop band. thank ur lucky stars he wasnt there yest. would have proved his point wouldnt it? cant we play band pieces? when deric asked us for our views so that he can bring down the pieces next time. he actually said he may not always bring down the pieces tt we want. ming told him tt we prefered band pieces. like the jap series and stuff. and deric said too expensive and 'but the lastest one is so horrible.' oh please. why ask us then?

cant u play pieces according to the size of the band? dun start too ambitiously. start from basics. play a bit of centuria. james swearingen pieces. warm up a little. FLOW a little to the music according to someone who criticised us but still turned up for prac. den start on the bigger stuff. jap series. persis. merry widow!! stuff like that. with a band this small. and perc section which sucks so bad its murder hearing to them. please. lets all pack up. say our prayers. and leave.

oh and btw. JAZZ sucks. please.

such relief when it ended. me hao wency and azman walked to abc market for dinner. ate a lot. den talked a lot about the band also. talked about so many things. laughed abt so many things. wency laughed so much. LOL. no dogs allowed. sounds familiar? haha. made fun of a few ppl also. =PpP. being band members. the thing about us is that. if we dun feel like speaking in eng. we speak in music. so for a good half hr or so. we just sang all the stupid songs during mr hong era. so little songs. and whatever songs we sang always somehow linked to all the songs during honeyy's era. so many songs suddenly ended up in celeb for winds. LOL. stayed there for more than 2 hrs. crazy huh.

so yeah. tts when i realise tt i dun need anybody else so much. with friends like them. i dun have to feel a single moment of awkwardness. i dun have to talk. let the music do the talking. =). and being friends doesnt necessarily mean u have to hang out every single day. and spend time with them and stuff. being friends means being apart but knwing tt they will still be there no matter what.

felt like rotting today. so i did. chased the cat. played with hamsters. ignored dorothy the goldfish. ate. and watched lots and lots and lots of tv. =).

i miss my honeyy. =(. i wonder how he is.
