Memorable experience

"Every little thing you do."

SCB @ Fountain of Youth

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Exhausted.
This performance was really a memorable one to me. It was my very first time leading the band out for an excursion cum performance @ Sentosa. I had really learn a lot through this experience as a first-timer. For instance, what things should be/ not done.

To some people whom I want to show my gratitude to...

• The Alunmis; Thanks for being there every time. You are my role model to look upon to, you guide me through obstacles, you helped me a lot through these months of leadership. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
• Invited Players; Thanks for lending a helping hand for SCB. As you guys know, this batch of SCB is quite young. Nevertheless, you made an effort to perform with us. Thank you.
• T-I-C; Thank you very much for sacrificing your time with SCB. Without you, I doubt things can be planned properly and SCB functioning well. You two are like my very good 'sisters' whom I can approach whenever I have problems. Thank you.
• Mr Pan; Our resident conductor for several years. You guide the band through thick and thin. I'd learnt a lot through your guidance and teaching. You will always be there whenever SCB needs you. You never gave up hope on us and I'll continue to push the band to greater heights, to meet your expectations. You are the root of the band, you are our everything. Without you, our music and passion wouldn't be there. Thank you.
• Bandsmen; You guys really play a part in my life, you guys changed me into a stronger person. You people are really crucial in Band. Without you, there will be no SCB. I really enjoyed the performance that day although we all know we can play better than that, what's more important is the process right? I'm really grateful that I have such a wonderful bunch of friends to hang out with. You guys are really fun and interesting! Thanks people!
• Clique; Idiot people. You guys really shocked me when I'm on the stage. Man... luckily I know how to control myself. It was really nice to see you guys there, supporting me. I don't know what to say, just feeling very happy to have such friends. Yesyes, I'm touched. Thanks for the flower and chocolate although your presence already contented me.
• Audience; Thank you for watching our performance and to those sec ones, FIRST ever performance. We are really happy to see your support, especially parents of the bandsmen. Continue to support SCB!

"I'm tired, seriously exhausted."

To be frank, sometimes I regretted being a Drum Majorette. There's so much things you need to handle, psychologically too. I envy the previous leaders who could handle their batch very well. I used them as my role model, am I not up to their expectations? Sigh, sometimes I find that I have a really different batch of bandmen to lead. & I don't understand what on Earth are they thinking seriously, maybe I don't know them well. "It's all my fault." like how most of them would greatly want me to say.

1 day to performance, too late to do anything. If the perf crop up, so be it. If I embarrass myself, so be it. If Mr Pan leaves us, I'll most prolly leave too. Mentally. Anyway, I'm really grateful for those invited players willing to spend their time for this performance. They are really wonderful people and I suppose the band members take them for granted. Yeah, it comes back to me again. My fault.

I just want SCB to do me a favour, simple one. We have to always stay united no matter what comes may. Although I scold and whack you guys but I meant good for you. I do feel bad after scolding you sometimes. & one thing to note, don't always say you're stressed or pressurized cause think about Ma'am Suzanna & I, we get double the stress you people get. Don't be selfish, think about the rest before yourself.

Tmr's performance, just do your very very best and get over it. Put up our band image to the public, don't let others look down on you. Prove them wrong, please.

SCB, we must get over the obstacle. Unity is what we need.

"When it all comes to an end."

Hola! I'm thinking and thinking AND thinking of... money now.
I guess this is one effective way to keep a beggar's mind occupied huh.

Band today in the morning. It was pouring but I deliberately forgot to bring my umbrella to school just to reminisce the good old feeling of walking under the rain. Haha, this is how lifeless beggars lead their life, by doing such foolish stuff. If you fall sick, it'll be just right like winning 4-D. Had a 1 hour sectional on 'Dragonstea Din Tei' a.k.a Chicken little movie theme song and 'Soul Bassanova'. After that, we had a combined woodwinds then combined brasses. Left for tuition after that. Today, a NAFA trumpet player came down to our school to teach the Cornet section. At first, I thought he was some Jonathan(Singapore Idol) look-alike but after Sir Gabriel told me he was from the Mediacorp show 'Hey, Gorgeous!', my jaw dropped. =O Anyway, 7 more days to performance!

Tuition was alright. Last lesson, there was a new guy in my English class. He is a foreigner from China I guess. So naturally, there would be some communication problem with the teacher. I tried my very best not to laugh at the way he speak and for god knows what reason, Miss Ting made me his interpreter. -.- Aiya, I pity him somehow.

The End.
=)

Over the limit.

"I can't take it any longer."

First it was my school. Then, it's my parents.

W-H-Y? Fk.

They questioned me for my results the moment I woke up and made me teared early in the morning.
To start off my day with such a bloody fking mood, how good huh? I hope I won't vent my anger on my band members later on.

At least...
I had improved on my English.
I had improved on my Physics & Chemistry.
I had managed to attained 2 A1s for both Maths.
I had managed to attained an A2 for Chinese.
But their fking not satisfied!

I honestly told them that my humanities had deproved. Instead of consoling me, reprimanding was what I got.

Next, they asked for my level position. I told them I got a fking 2nd in level. Guess what's their response? They scolded me for not getting 1st and blame it on my playfulness. Did I ever EVER play and completely not study? Omfg. This was ridiculous.

I should not have gotten such good results in the first place huh. I just don't understand them!
They don't give a damn about how I feel. Why must they fking be like that? Fuck. I can't tolerate any longer, really. You think I don't care about my studies, my future, my life?! I guess you're absolutely wrong. I showed my respect to them but now I don't think they deserved it.

Fk. I'm gonna explain to them. Yes I will. Keep the cool, Huiyi.

"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it."- Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

Watch this! Funny baby.

"You have been the one for me."

These few days were bad. I guess many people had been setting high expectations for me but I failed to fulfill it. The feeling wasn't good of course. Imagine people asking you, "Eh, why you not 1st in level again?" or "Eh, never go up and take prize ah?". Was that concern or just simply sarcasm? Speak the truth. I really disliked this, it really hit me hard on the floor. I may appear strong at times but everyone have their limits and points of weakness. I don't need to be the top again, really. If you were in my shoes, having teachers pinning all their hopes on you, can't you feel the stress? I don't love studying to be frank but somehow it became my 'best friend' when it comes to boredom. Weird. Another thing to point out, it ain't easy to be the top few often. Once you have a slight deprovement, lo and behold, the gossiping starts.

I need to do better next time.
My 5 distinction... I have to get that.

Adding on, the hectic schedule for Band is really crazy. Practically everyday and to make it worser, Suzanna's on course and I have to handle the band myself. This is 'sheet'. 11 more days to perf.

& I feel so back to square one again. Being the left out one in the clique again, as usual.
Sigh, my life is so 'sheet'. Sometimes, I just feel that I don't belong there.

Anyway, I feel better now after having a chat with Lisa.
;)

Organic lifestyle

"Always look on the bright side of life."

Healthy. Healthy. Healthy.

We didn't attend school on Thursday as it was Promos. The teachers had to slog their heads off and we students can get a short break off from our hectic life. Yayy. I was thinking since we often eat junk food and all sorts of unhealthy stuff, why not giving out a try on nutritional meals?

& so, the girls went over to Eugenia's house to make lunch for the Clique. We met each other at the supermarket to do some grocery shopping and headed to her house to start on our dishes. It was my first time making Salad and I could say it turned out quite well with the help of Ellycia. Actually, the meal wasn't so all-rounded. We had unhealthy dishes too. I love the Cheese toast with bacon proudly made by me. & not forgetting our all time favourite, Seaweed Chicken to spice up our taste buds after those raw veggies. Hahaha.

After that, we rest for awhile and had the boys to make us ice creams. Looks kind of disgusting from the photos but it was thoughtful enough I think. Haha. We had movie marathon. Watch, eat, play, stone... watch, eat, play, stone.

Hahaha, then we decided to go over to Elly's place and her sister made dinner (Spaghetti) for us! =) The boys played a few rounds of basketball, ate our dinner, chatted and home sweet home.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, school was boring.

We had most of our periods watching movies which was the part that I loved the most.

Who wouldn't right?

Physics lesson was funny. When it came to the last few periods, Mr Azam got quite angry due to one of the worksheet he told us to complete. He reprimanded us and I laughed like hell. It has been so long since he scolded us like shit. =/

Band today was slightly better than the first practice.

Slightly.
I need you guys to give your best shot, practice, don't let him leave.
Boss have a nice clarinet sound seh. Commendable.

Ehhh, better don't come and bhb with me hor...
