Monday, December 31, 2007

It's 31st of December today! The last day of year 2007. I bet a lot of people are at Vivo now for countdown. That's why so little people online:( Why must they countdown at vivo with the massive crowd? Haiz...so I'm here to blog though nothing happen today. Nvm... I told Calvin that I can blog even if nothing happens so I shall prove it to him today:)

Haha I woke up at like 10 plus today. Not the latest time for the holidays though. I think the latest record is 11 plus. This holidays very weird. Normally during holidays, mummy will wake me up at around 9. This time, she don't even care if I still sleeping at 11am. I wonder why...Maybe she gave up haha. This holidays really quite slack I think. Sleep until so late. Then no homework, mummy also never give me work to do. Go out quite a lot. That day mummy still say:"This time holidays like go out a lot hor?" Then I was like:"That's what holidays are for what." And I got hit on the head (playfully).

Ok, end of the year already. Super fast. Next year must work harder. Oh ya, very sian. Very little people taking the subject combi that I want to take. Maybe end up must follow the crowd and take BCME. I dun want! Not that I really mind the subjects, but I dun want to follow the crowd:( I want to take my Chinese lit! Haiz... shall pray and follow God's will whatever it may be.

Funnily, looks like a lot of people are emoing now. Either emoing or not happy lah. Why?! Cheer up k? Tmr is a new year. Must be happy. Although I can't explain what's so happy abt the new year. Cannot go out or go online so often anymore. Must concentrate on studying. Nvm, must be optimistic:) I'm looking forward to band!!! :D

haha. Quite long already. I guessed I proved my point to Calvin (i hope).

Today's Sunday! Went to church. I was on duty so I went earlier. Supposed to meet Josiah and some other ppl at macs for breakfast then end up they all late. Haiz... then I had to eat alone cuz practice starts at 8. I was like one of the earliest ppl there. Practice started with a birthday song! Today is Uncle Wah Chong, Christa and Wei Liang's birthday. Then yesterday was Samuel Tan's birthday and tmr is Jacklyn's birthday. Woah, so many birthdays at this time of the year.

Main service was quite normal. Oh ya, we sang 'this is how we oversome'. It was quite fun turning during the chorus. But a lot of ppl in the congregation just stand there and watch us turn-.- Oh ya, Justin and Samuel were super funny at the back. Doing funny actions and oh ya, they turned:) Haha sounds very funny. Before the service, uncle Donald suddenly call me and told me that his niece Sharon coming to church today. So I sat with her and company her for the day. She came to EL before last time, but that was super long ago.

Went for lunch with Sharon and a group of guys. Then Calvin and I went to buy birthday 'cake' for Wei Liang. And we were late for youth worship:( They were singing breakfree. We went in halfway through the song. Bet they were kee-siaoing right from the start. Then after that we had youth thanksgiving service for those ppl that didn't manage to give their testimonies last night. And ended with worship again. Sang king of majesty and always and forever. Everybody was super high:) Jumping all around and worshipping God.

Then we went to get the 'cake' for Wei Liang. It was like one slice of chocolate mousse cake and 5 cupcakes. Cus he's fifteen, so one big candle and 5 small ones. Had soem announcements and intro Sharon then cell was dismissed. Yong Chian, Joyce and I went to Joyce's house to help her with homework. The guys went pool and play lan. Actually I thought Joyce had Chem qn to ask. I scared I dunno so ask yc along. Then today she told me actually I got phy qns also. I was like "Die, I think I sure dunno" Somemore yc dun take physics, cannot help at all. Then Justin msg us halfway. I didn't see it but luckily Joyce replied. Haha i think he and Calvin bored already, want to come and mug with us. But didn't in the end cuz we were at Joyce's house.

Then left for home at ard 6pm. Cuz Yan's tuition end at 6 so wanted to wait for her and go home together. Wait until 6.20 she still nv come out. I thought she write zuo wen write so slow so wanted to go in and hurry her. Walk until inside then saw that everybody left already! -.- Sian. In the end go home by myself. And realise that she left even before we reached there.

had band farewell today. I was like the first one there when I thought that I was going to be late. We waited for while for the other sec 4s to come. Then the food arrived. So we ate first then had the performance. The sec 1s sang a song that I dunno the title. Sec 2s danced to a collage of songs(if there is such thing. supposed to mean a lot of songs add together) I recorded the whole thing:) Sec 3s did a video of snow white and cinderella. Guan Teng was the Prince (un)charming. Super funny.

Yup then our section went to KAP to eat. A lot of people not hungry cuz just ate at 10 plus. So I treated Rachel and Sylvia to the ice-cream that I owe them. The rest were like 'nvm lah, u can treat us again'. So I treated them to the 60 cent cone while Sylvia and Rachel got Mcflurry:) Then we just sat there and talked for super long. Li Ting and Amanda were like fascinated by my phone.

After that went to eat dinner with my sister, Justin, Yong Chian, Thaddeus and Josiah. Halfway through, Tian Loong and Derrick appeared. Then went prayer meeting. And walked home with Yan and Yong Chian. But daddy called while we were ard Teck Whye and sounded angry so we decided to take bus back.

Good. everything's cleared up. I can't wait for Sunday! :)

Shall blog abt yesterday. Think a lot of people did already haha. Yesterday, we had family outing/ company family day. Went to vivo and sentosa. Took quite a lot of pics. Want to see them? Go my sister's blog:) Yup, then some guys from church also went... Calvin, Thaddeus, Lemuel, Kay Han, Josh, Josh's cousin, Tian Loong, Andrew. Hope I didn't miss out anyone.

Mummy, daddy, yan and I took 188 to vivo there. Actually wanted to watch movie but too many people so we just walked around vivo and ended up reading books at the book shop. Then took the monorail to sentosa. Went to Palawan beach and the 'southernmost point of continental Asia'. There were a lot of people on the bridge and I was trying to shake it. Haha very fun.

After a super early dinner, yan and I went to find the people from church at Siloso beach. They were slacking there and writing lots of secrets on the sand. Took some pics with them then they left. Yup, then we went to watch 'Songs of the sea'. Something like musical fountain. Quite nice but rather short. The fire was very cool. Shall post some pics of the performance.























Writing farewell letters now. Tmr farewell and I only started today. Hmmm never really prepared anything also. Only got letters. Is it very bad? Haiz... nvm lah. Who ask me so last minute. Sorry to the people whom I didn't prepare anything for.

Haiz... cannot go for thanksgiving service on sat. Sad. I want to go. But maybe I should be thankful that I can go for prayer meeting. Or should I bargain and say that I go for service instead of prayer meeting? Hmmm dunno. Ok, shall end here. Somebody's hurrying me to post this.

MERRY CHRSTMAS EVERYBODY!!!

Went to church this morning and sang a lot of christmas carols. Exchanged presents with lots of people too. Thanks to all those people who gave me stuff: Calvin, Justin, Yong Chian, Joyce, Charlotte, Tian Loong, Kay Han, Sam Soh, Sellek, Auntie Jia Yan, Shih Ray lao shi, Yuan tai tai, Weng lao shi. Erm hope I didn't forget anybody. If I did, please come and tell me, I'll add u in. I think a lot of people really think that I don't eat a lot. Cuz they gave me food products. Calvin, Justin and Sellek gave chocolate. Tian Loong gave cookies, Kay Han and Sam Soh gave sweets. Oh ya, a lot of people say Yan and I look like twins, cuz we were wearing the same clothes.

After service, Yan and I went to find Carissa, Sarah and Hannah to give then presents. Hannah is super cute. Then we went to cut hair. Yan wanted to go out with Julia then I wanted to go play basketball after cutting hair. So we asked mummy whether we can go out or not then she said ask daddy. So Yan called first. She debated with daddy for a while then daddy agreed and set a curfew. Then it was my turn. So I called daddy and said "Yan going out right? Can I go out also?" I think that he thought that I was going out with Yan so he was like "Go lah go lah". Haha, I was super happy. I was still expecting a negative answer.

Basketball was quite fun. Rained a bit off and on. But we still managed to play. Oh ya, playing with guys got a lot of advantage. Can just walk and dribble the ball, they'll all give way. And Joyce's shooting is quite accurate. Oh, Calvin was very funny. Everytime he managed to snatch the ball from the opponent he'll "hmph" at the opponent, like saying "haha i got the ball".

Then at 4 plus, we went home cuz curfew at 5 for Yan and I. After getting home, we slept like a pig lah. Sleep until 7 plus then wake up and eat dinner. And the rest of my family are currently watching tv. We borrowed shu tong yao from auntie Jia Yan so they're watching now.

Went to mediacorp to watch the recording of S-Pop today. It was rather interesting but it was super long. We were there from 2 to 7.30pm! To record a one hour long show... Liang lao shi invited us there cuz he's the main character for this episode. All the singers there were singing songs written by him including Joi Chua! The singers sang very well:) Two of the main characters from tian leng jiu hui lai were also there. Oh ya, it's the 14th episode so it'll be on tv like next year. Watch and you might see me. Still got quite a long time i think cuz the person say now only show until the 4th or 5th one.

Shall try to post the pics that I took. They're not very clear and I didn't take a lot.


Some of the people there. From the left, first one is liang lao shi, second one is quan yi feng (she was the host) then i cannot remember the name of the other 3


This is Joi Chua with the other singers behind her


Joi Chua again, singing her new song which title I cannot remember

Yay! Home sweet home! Finally back in Singapore:) Malaysia trip was quite fun with lots of shopping. I didn't really buy a lot of stuff. Only bought a watch, a shirt and a box of something that I so clever-ly forgt to bring back. Nvm, Abigail and Priscilla can have them. Hmmm actually this trip was quite short but I miss a lot of stuff and people in Singapore. Now then I understand what yc meant and how Calvin felt.

Hmm I haven't bought Christmas presents!!! Normally I don't really bother. But this year like got a lot of people buying Christmas presents then if I don't buy like very bad. BUT don't be mistaken. I'm not buying for the sake of buying. I WANT to give Chirstmas presents:) Went to 3 mega malls in Malaysia but didn't find anything suitable to buy. I really don't know what to buy for guys. Maybe those wu liao ppl who tag my tagboard can give me some practical suggestions instead of those not very practical diet advice.

Haiz... it's Friday and most people are at prayer meeting. Nobody online. My sister's wrapping christmas presents which she bought from Malaysia. She bought the presents quite easily cuz all for girls then very easy to buy. As long as we like, they will like.

Oh ya, I quite looking forward to Sunday cuz can see everybody again. But I'm not looking forward to dressing up and something else. But one good thing abt dressing up is that everyone else will be dressed up too. Haha must take more pics. My sister wants me to take to let her see.

Looking at the hwa chong website now. Dina said no more GSC. Very luan now. Dunno what to choose. Hmmm.....

Haha i'm blogging from Malaysia. We went to Mid Valley today. Esther, Abigail, Yan and I. We actually wanted to watch movie - either Alvin and the chipmunks or Enchanted but the queue was super long and we were lazy to queue so didn't watch. Quite wasted cuz the movie here super cheap. It's only 6 Rm cuz got student price. Yup, didn't watch movie so we walked around. I bought a watch! Yan bought a lot of stuff. She bought all her christmas presents already. I haven't! Tmr is like the last day to shop already and I still have a lot of stuff that I haven't bought. I don't know what to buy for guys. Hmm... this post is super short cuz got 3 people lining up to use the com after me.

Monday, December 17, 2007

Haha Calvin just came back from Malaysia and I'm going there tmr! Went Orchard with Dina today. Actually wanted to watch CCIS but it was raining so there wasn't any performance to watch. Went Cine and ate Pastamania then just walked around the shopping malls there. We als talked about school, church and other stuff. Oh ya, I told her that yc thinks that Janessa is pretty then her reaction was "Huh? Must be cuz he nv see me before..." Haha. I shall post the pic that we took today another time to let yc see. Hmmm went home quite early. Reached home around 8 plus then watch tv until 11. Then packed my stuff for tmr. Like very little things to bring, make me feel insecure. Haha this shall be a short post:)

trumpets forever - 11:14 PM :)

Actually I have nothing to blog abt. Ok, I shall blog abt yesterday in more detail. Yesterday's post was short cuz I wanted to go watch tv haha.

It looked like it was going to rain when we were starting the fire. Then we were trying to convince ourselves that it won't rain and Sabrina was singing 'rain rain go away, come again another day, little children want to play'(little children referring to herself haha). But her singing didn't work. It rained:( Started quite small and some people ran up to get umbrellas and brought our stuff up. While they were still up there, the rain got heavier! Shimin, Sylvia, Sabrina and I were trying desperately to continue the bbq. The shelter up there is so useless. It's semi permeable, so the rain drops can still go through cuz of osmosis(bio) and gravity(physics). In the end, we covered up all the food with paper plates, took the cooked food, ran for shelter and abandoned the fire.

However, God answers prayers! I was eating and praying under the shelter. Then the rain suddenly stopped! It was quite heavy for a while then suddenly no more rain. By the time the rest came down with the umbrellas, we could continue the bbq already. Yup, but i guess the charcoal got wet cuz the fire was burning quite well for while then later the fire became super small, cannot really cook.

A lot of the corn were burnt on one side, the side touching the fire. The chicken wings were quite nice but got quite a lot left. Then the sec 2s started bbq marshmallows. Oh ya, I shall report what I ate. I think it's quite a lot for bbq already. Normally for bbq, I just stand there and bbq for ppl to eat and only kope a bit to eat. Hmmm I ate 3 chicken wings, 3 marshmallows, 1 hotdog, 4 crabsticks, some prawns(forgot how many), 2 satays, 3 cups of drinks. I think that's it. But 3 chicken wings is quite a lot le.

Ok, i shall go eat lunch:)

trumpets forever - 1:21 PM :)

Sunday, December 16, 2007

Haha just came back from bbq at Cynthia's house. Feel so clean now after bathing and washing off all the smoke, charcoal, chicken wing smell.

Went to church today. Sang quite a few christmas carols then went distribution at Toh Yi. I went with Joyce, Charlotte and Eileen. After that went to Josh's house to watch 'the simpsons'. The movie quite funny. After the movie we went downstairs to play. Actually not we, only the guys were playing. Joyce and I stood at the side and look. Then I left for the bbq.

Shimin, Sabrina, Sylvia and Cynthia were already there. Liu Zhen(if i nv remember his name wrongly) was also there. He was starting the fire and I went to help. Starting fire is fun haha. Ya, spent most of the time bbqing food with Shimin and Sylvia. Ate a bit. Then went home. Haha, didn't take pics. Too bad for Yong Chian:P

Yay! Tmr going Orchard with Dina. SUper long nv see her already. Ok, I shall go watch tv:)

Saturday, December 15, 2007

My sister's blog has reached its 80th post! Dunno how come so many posts when she dun really seem to use the com a lot. Hmmm mine only 60 plus.

Went for prayer meeting yesterday. Met Thaddeus, Josiah and Yong Chian for dinner before that. Prayer meeting was quite nice, expected it to be very serious but it wasn't:) Then Yong Chian, Yan and I walked home, cuz we were too bored and didn't want to go home so early. We took like one and a half hours to get home. Then we went macs to eat ice-cream. We reached home like ard 10 plus.

Haha went out with mummy and yan today. Went to City Hall cuz mummy wanted to go to the book fest to see assessment books for her students. It was rather big, but very little english storybooks. Yea, so no books for us to sit down and read. Yan and I ended up walking around and watching shao lin zu qiu. After that went to eat tea break and walked around. We bought a skirt! Haha, it's quite nice. Then daddy came to fetch us yay! Went west coast for dinner then came home le.

Yay! Going church tmr. Singing christmas carols:)

Friday, December 14, 2007

Haven't blogged for quite some time:) Hmmm stay at home quite boring lah... didn't really do a lot of stuff. So, inorder to make my life exciting, I've decided to be excited abt not that exciting stuff haha. Yup, shall post some pics abt what I've been doing at home these few days:)





My sister and I packed our accessory cupboard today! Here are all our earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Haha looks rather neat.



And this is my cupboard! All my school stuff haha. Also neater than ever:)


Oh ya, then my sister and I went to Lot 1 to buy socks. The colours so nice right?


And these are baby socks. Obviously not for us to wear. We're giving them as christmas presents. Guess who's the lucky people to get it? :)

Haha I also helped to wash clothes today. So guai right? Hmmm... had a choice between sweeping the floor, moping the floor and washing clothes and I chose to wash clothes. Easier mah, it's the machine doing it anyway, not me:) Haha so my dad's sweeping the floor and my sister's moping the floor. Yup, going for prayer meeting tonight. Yay! I managed to psycho yong chian to go, just like Calvin and Thaddeus tried to psycho me haha.

trumpets forever - 11:29 AM :)

Tuesday, December 11, 2007

Dunno what to blog about. Hmmm... packed my stuff today. Took out all my sec 4 stuff and piled them on mummy's table. haha now her table is messy. Went Lot 1 to eat lunch with zi yi and magdalene. Oh ya, then had a talk with daddy over some stuff.

Firstly was the subject combi to take in jc. He told me to take general studies in chinese cuz 1. I dun mind chinese. 2. It's more special cuz not a lot of ppl take. A lot of ppl take econs. 3. He thinks I can't be a businessman so dun need to take econs. Yup, but I shall still go read up on the subject first.


Then was abt his project, or rather my project that was given by him. Actually I still have quite some stuff to write that I haven't written. Haha. Erm still got the part on my school, my family and myself. Ya, actually daddy's talk was rather inspirational, as usual.

Don't feel like blogging already. bye!

Sunday, December 09, 2007

Hmmm today is Sunday! Went to macs for breakfast with Samuel and Josiah at 7am(super early) before going to church for practice. It was then that I realised that Macs breakfast got student's meal. I thought only normal meals had student's meal. Yup, then had church and youth worship then cell. Cell was rather productive cuz for once, everyone had the same goal, which is to finish as quickly as possible. Even Sellek was quite coorperative. And a lot of people that normally joke a lot all not there, like Janielson, Josh and Justin. But we still ended up as the cell that finished the latest.

Then Joyce, Thaddeus, Jireh, Yong Chian, Tian Loong and I went to the airport to fetch Justin back. We didn't know which flight he was in so tikam a bit. Anyway that was the only flight coming from Cebu today. When we saw Charmaine there, we knew that we were right:) Then we took mrt back.

Haha, this is a short and summarised post, so unlike me. Today lazy...

Friday, December 07, 2007

Haha, I realised that my reflections will be on a different day cuz it's past 12 already. Youth camp was quite fun in general. I know that the committee out in a lot effort. But the nicest games had to be cancelled or made not so fun in the end. Yup, though I'm glad that the torturous games had to be cancelled, I believe that they would have been fun.

Yup and God's presence was definitely there, especially during the services. Had a really great time worshipping God in his presence. I will make this camp a turning point in my Christian life. STORM did a great job too! After the services, they were totally high and started jumping around while playing their instruments and singing. But that was really fun.

Thanks to God and every single person that has contibuted to make this camp a success. Thanks to the committe that put so much time and effort to plan for the camp, sacrificing their sleep, meals and voice to ensure that we have ours(sleep and meals). Thanks to all the group leaders who help to control us noisy people and tolerate us though we may not listen to them sometimes. Thanks to the all stars team that is there to challenge us, to motivate us and to lend a helping hand to whoever needs it. They are seriously all stars. Thanks to every single person who attended to the camp and participate enthusiastically in the activities.

Cannot think of what to write already. I thought I had quite a lot of reflections but now my mind is blank:(

Thursday, December 06, 2007

haha this is post number 60! nice number. Dunno how come my sister's blogpost reach 70 already when my blog has been in existence longer than hers. Anyway hers is like almost officially dead now. this post is going to be abt youth camp. Think will have a lot of narration and some reflections.

Camp started on Monday. Met some ppl at cck interchange then take 67 to church together. We were made to form our groups and come up with a group name and cheer. Ours ended up to be broken slippers(no reason) with Tian Loong and Tian Yong as leader and co leader. The other groups had funny names too, like chainless aka your mother, haha, banana, thirsty hippo aka your father. Then after lunch took the bus to changi bethany church.

Start of the fun! Had afternoon games. Got some a bit disgusting like chilli bombs. At first I wasn't wet at all the Issac went to bomb me and make me wet!!! Arh! Then my shirt got chilli sauce smell. The soccer and other games were rather fun. I scored 2 goals for soccer haha! But the all stars team was really good and we lost:( Then after bathing and dinner, we had service. Service was really great. Chris Long was very funny and we were laughing all the way. The worship was nice too. Shall write reflections of all the services later.

Next day had service in the morning and afternoon games again. We were supposed to get dirty cuz got obstacle course, egg and water bombs. But I didn't:) Sellek and Yong Chian wanted to bomb me when we were walking back but in the end Sellek changed his mind. Yong Chian said cuz he scared I scold him despite him(yc) saying that I won't. Am I that fierce? haha nvm, it did me a favour. The ppl who got the dirtiest were the poor guys who were being the wheelbarrows. And then after that game, a lot of them tried to master the art of hugging people backwards. Yup, then at night got service again. Had some indoor games after the service.

3rd day had service in the morning again. The weather for the first 2 days was sunny but it started raining on the third. The games were supposed to be outdoors but then had to change and modify it to make it indoors. It was modified 'persecution'. Quite fun, esp the persecution part, but the time too short. We had some time before dinner to do our own stuff. So I taught some people how to play PIG:) Super fun. Yong Chian reaction was super slow at first. We were waiting for him to get to level 20. He was the highest level pig for the first round. Then when we went down for dinner, he was like "Auntie, I got the highest level, must give me first."

Then at night, we played strongholds. It was very fun also. The comm dressed up as demons and hid all over the place to scare us then test our faith. The entire place was rather dark and a lot of people were screaming. Some of the comm acted really well and they were really scary. I was in the same group as Jireh and Julian. Jireh was making fun of all the 'demons' so it wasn't very scary. We had pizza for supper! Then went up and continued pig for a while before deciding to go for the night trek with sam soh and some other people.

The night trek was fun! Some parts were really dark but the air was very cooling and the environment was nice. Though it started to drizzle quite a bit when we were on our way back. Reached back around 1 plus. Then bathed again. Just bathed before the trek and my hair was drying as we walked then rained and made my hair wet again, then bathing made it even wetter. After that went seven eleven with Calvin and Yong Chian to buy food:) And we ended up playing pig downstaris cuz upstairs too noisy and too many people. But there were people sleeping downstairs so we had to be super quiet. Silent laughter... This round, Josiah was the ultimate pig. Level 10. I think Thaddeus was next. The rest of the night/ morning was quite boring cuz we were just trying to pass time by playing cards, talking and telling ghost stories.

Yup, then this morning was prize giving and some aution. After the camp offically ended, we went to the airport to fetch Joyce and send Justin off. Wrote Joyce's name on paper and held it super high for her to see and ended up embarrassing her and ourselves. A lot of people walked in front of us just to see what we were holding. Then went to T2 to send Justin off. This time no paper so used our bodies to form his name, like what they did to send Joyce off the other time. Ya, then went to have lunch and took mrt home. Joyce insisted on taking train back with us. Tian Loong was sleeping on the way back.

Haha, I slept from 4 to 8 after reaching home cuz only slept for 45 mins during the night so very tired. Then went to eat dinner and came back to blog. And here I am! Ok, quite lame. That's the end of the narrating section. It's like super long already. Bet nobody will read my reflections. But I'm still going to write it (i hope).

Haven't blogged for super long. And since cannot blog at my grandmother's house, I wrote out my blog post:) Shall type it here now. Think it's going to be quite long cuz it's for two days.

29/11/07 Thursday

Yup, just came back from band camp. Hmmm band camp started on Tuesday and ended today. I was the only sec 4 who stayed throughout the camp. I thought there were going to be quite a few but in the end Cynthia only came in the day, Judy and Sabrina only stayed for the first day and Mellissa came randomly. Ya, so left me. See, I'm so nice:)

Band camp was quite fun. On the first day there was something like amazing race. It wasn't that difficult or torturous. They were quite nice except for the egg station. My group had Rie, Joy, Su Yi, Nicole and me! We were the first to complete the amazing race:) Then had lunch and band prac. They decided to have batch lunch and poor me had no batchmates to eat lunch with. So in the end joined the sec 3 batch. Cheryl wanted to bully me and make me decide where to go for lunch but I refused haha. End up go golden rooster and eat under the stairs cuz no space to sit.

After band prac, bathed, eat dinner, watch 'step up' and play pig! Pig was super fun. Next time must teach more people to play:) Maybe during youth camp:) Yup, then when lights out, the trumpets were very guai and went to sleep. The next day, we realised that we were the only section that slept so early haiz...

Second day wash instru, had band prac and wanted to have telematch. But it started raining so cancel, and they prepared for farewell and Cynthia and I had nothing to do. Ok, lazy to write abt the rest. Shall kope from section blog if anybody decides to blog abt it.

30/11/07 Friday

Went to hc band tune in today. Met Sylvia, Liang Zhen, Cynthia and Sabrina at the bus stop and walked in together. Don't know how to walk and ended up at the back door of the band room. Then had to go down and up again to get to the front door. Ya, had ice-breakers first. Played wacko, indian poker and elope. Then had section lunch. We went to some cafe in SIM. The food was not bad, but a lot! I only ate half of it and I was super full already.

Then had sectionals and band prac. Quite fun! Zhijie made the sec 4s play 1st and all the solos. Fortunately I only had 1. My pitching wasn't that good during sectionals, only pitch until G. Supposed to be able to play till C...haiz, deproved a lot. Yup, then band prac. First song was something like Fantillusion(dunno how to spell), was playing 1st with Luther. Oh ya, he's super pro. He was the bm and sl of trumpets in the hc high school band. His tone is super nice and high notes very nice also. 总之, I think he's zai. Josh said he was but I didn't really believe it last time. 百闻不如一见 haha. The other songs we played were 'Please give me wings', 'Winter sonata', 'Welcome', 'Imagine' and 'The christmas festival'. 'The christmas festival' is quite nice too. Very christmassy with a lot of christmas tunes.

(reflections haha) Overall I enjoyed the tune-in a lot. It made me want to join hc band. During the band prac, had the very nice feeling of band once again and I suddely regret not playing for their concert. It's too late now but nvm, I shall go watch. Yup, and very inspired by the pro players, like the seniors. And Luther made me feel a bit 自卑. He's also sec 4 but he's so much better. Nvm, got inspiration to improve:) Now should be quite confirm join band in jc already cuz the tune-in made me realise that I miss band. And hc wasn't as bad as I thought:)

THE END
