Life is like a roll of toilet paper

2010-12-20T20:20:00.003+08:00

Okay, so I really love tumblr, but it doesn't feel right to post these kind of things there, so I will be using blogger for my 'text' posts. Pictures goes to tumblr :D

----WORDY POST----

I always procrastinate. I have 15 days to complete my history, geography, SS, english, chinese, emath, amath, chemistry and physics homework. In short, everything. Every time I sit down in front of my table and take out my homework, I will dodododo for as long as I can. Then when I hit something I don't know how to do, I stop.

Then I start to feel sleepy. I know weird right LOL. Then I go and slack already. This applies to maths the most. Oh gosh, I'm so dead. And I'm still blogging here.

It has been so long since I posted, and I'm not going to be hardcore and recall every single thing because obviously I can't. So let's talk about the thing that left the biggest impression on me. I think this might be a start of a long post.

TAIWAN!!!!

Oh taiwantaiwantaiwantaiwan how I miss you TAIWAN. I love that country. Nice weather during that time of the year, nice food, nice people, nice scenery, nice everything. Oh, nice bands. It does feel different from Singapore....but it feels similar to Singapore, if you catch my drift. The hotel was also not bad. Roommate was TOHWEIJIN. The room was really cosy and I think there were like 100+ channels on the tv? And there is a bathtub and can soak inside omg. So long since I used a bathtub.

I miss those late nights (till 1/2am. so i guess its morning?) when we were trying to rush Mr Lim's, Ms Khai's and Mdm Teo's gift for the trip. The first night was really useless. Hehe. Cuz we just played around. Then the next few nights we just do and do. Kinda. We managed to finish it and I felt that we did quite a good job! Especially Mr Lim's one. I wonder where is it now. In his storeroom? Burnt to ashes? Hanged up on his wall?

Morning calls were quite early. Around 7 that time. Me and weijin's alarm for those few days in the hotel room was PIANO^3 from my phone LOL. So we will sleep halfway then suddenly can hear this loud chord where the entire band in the recording plays. Will really wake you up you know! But then I will turn off the alarm and go back to sleep. Sleep till 1 hour+ like that. Tired from the late nights ma.

And there was the concert itself. The taiwanese band was reallyreally good. Their trumpets and trombones so power lah! They all have that bright break glass kind of sound. You know what I mean? And the woodwinds could be heard very clearly. Not loud, but clearly. Yeah, they were really good. But the repertoire wasn't very nicely arranged I think. All the pieces they played had the same feel. Like those epic nice pieces that last about 6 minutes each. Kinda boring after awhile. But still nice.

And our own performance. Omg. I am very pleased and happy about it. It's really....our first decent performance. And after the performance, I couldn't stop grinning. I was really proud of my band. Like bursting with pride. Sure, there were some screw ups here and there, but who cares? As long as we achieved something, which I felt we all did, then the performance was great. Mr Lim even encouraged us! Like a father like that LOL. What am I talking lol. My sentence structure is so weird.

Oh, and there was the Shilin night market and Ximending! Actually, it wasn't that special la. Shilin is like bugis and ximending is like orchard road. And a lot of shops sell the same thing. Really, the same thing. So everywhere you walk you see the same thing.

And then there was also Yehliu!

Such a beautiful place right?

Yeah, really beautiful. Only problem was that it was freaking raining. And you see the water there? That's the Pacific Ocean I think. And so it became DAMN WINDY. SO BLOODY WINDY. I was holding my umbrella and the wind blew and it SNAPPED at the metal part. LIKE WTF? And my jeans were soaking wet and so was my jacket. Lucky my jacket kept my shirt inside dry and I could remove the jacket on the bus. But really, it was quite fun. Haha!

And all too soon, we were flying back to Singapore. I watched Inception on the way back and ate fish LOL. I love plane rides. Oh Valerie was beside me. Fun ride. I miss plane rides.

I think this is my longest post in a very long time. Hehe. BYE.

SA2 is just next week and I am so unprepared. I am so scared.

2010-09-08T13:01:00.003+08:00

So I got back my results, yeah this is long overdue.

English - B3

Chinese - C5

E Maths - B4

A Maths - C5

Physics - A2

Chemistry - D7

History - A1

Combined Humanities (SS, Geog) - B3

L1R4 - 13

L1R5 - 18

Hmmm I deproved ):

Not much to say since last post. Oh yeah maybe one. So my class went for the athletics event for the YOG, and we were watching this dunno how long walk. Only know it is damn long. The walkers like shake their butt all the way and they can keep up their walking speed for like 35 minutes!

So there was this guy walking the slowest, he was last, so every time he walked pass in front of us at the gallery, we cheered. Hehe, I dunno why but it really touches my heart. I wonder if he knows we were cheering for him.

Time for homework now, bye!

2010-08-27T23:53:00.001+08:00

I shouldn't be so pessimistic.

After every single exam, I come out saying I will fail horribly, which I didn't most of the time.

Nearing every single performance, I say we will break down and leave the stage crying, but nope.

Yeah, be more optimistic.

2010-07-08T20:10:00.002+08:00

I can't wait to step down from band. Leave all those horrible memories behind. Either join a better band in JC or don't join band at all.

2010-06-26T18:44:00.001+08:00

POP is over. YAY!

But NBC is coming soon.

And school is starting next week :(

I haven't done ANY homework. Zero. Zip. Nada. Zilch.

I think I'm going to get detention. OH NOE!

2010-06-14T21:30:00.002+08:00

Time flies. I'm already half way through sec 3.

I had a very disturbing thought last night just before I slept. I don't know why. I suddenly thought about dying. What will happen when I die? Do I feel pain? Does my consciousness just blink out of existence? I felt a chill when I thought of those questions.

2010-06-05T22:45:00.001+08:00

Holidays started. Naturally, my life is fairly busy.

I think I am quite satisfied with my section now.

2010-05-21T20:05:00.000+08:00

Yeah, focus entirely on the negative aspects of me, never the positive ones. Fuck.

2010-05-15T23:27:00.002+08:00

Sorry for making sectionals feel like such a bore for you =/

Man, I feel like not going for band with that kind of fucking attitude from some people. How am I going to step down with a peace of mind?

2010-05-13T23:08:00.002+08:00

The exams are finally over. Chemistry was easy. Chinese Oral was just screwed up. I just answered 2 questions in the conversation. I think my turn took like what, 3 minutes? I'm so dead for it. Whatever. Not like I will want to rely on Chinese for my O Levels anyway.

After oral, I stayed in school for awhile with other people, waiting for the rain to stop. When it finally became a drizzle, I left myself first. The first thing I did when I reached home was bath. Duh. And after that, lunch. And after that, I did not switch on the computer. I feel so disciplined :)

Instead, I went to analyse the conductor score for the upcoming competition. Am I being too hardcore? Hehe. I just want the band to succeed. But I can't do much if people aren't willing to put in the effort. Oh well. We must get gold with distinction this time. No less! I feel so hardcore. Heh. Never mind the stupid names of the pieces. Namely, Dancing In The Wind and Blue Skies And Sunshine. Sounds gay. But it really is nice.

I suddenly realised that I will be graduating from secondary school. That is inevitable, of course. But it feels so soon. Just a year and a half to go. Then I'm outta here. I can still remember when I was sec 1. Hah. Walking into the small but cozy temporary campus. How I miss it. And switching to band. Walking into the AVA Room (which was where we practiced). Oh, touching the saxophone for the first time. Though I would really have preferred learning a double reed instrument (preferably oboe), I guess I'm content with my status quo. Yeah, people might say that the double reeds are hard. I agree, but I'm up to the challenge!

Gave my mum her late mother's day gift. It was a $5 jar of everything from Made In Candy. Really awkward to pass it to her. But I could see that she was really happy. She likes sweets :)

What a long post here. Bye and good night.

2010-05-08T15:05:00.002+08:00

Oral was good. Talked to the teacher about things. She asked me about the situation in Thailand. :) I think I will score well for that. Maths was...I don't know. I can't say good. But I can't say horrible. SS was alright. But I think I screwed up slightly.

E.Maths Paper 2 and History coming Monday.

Band is resuming this Saturday. Yay!

2010-05-05T17:05:00.002+08:00

E.Maths and SS tomorrow. English Oral too.

Oh, so I AM playing for ShuQun's concert. 12 June. Not much time left. I can't wait for band to start again. I like harder songs like Orient Express!

So, I'm reading about healthcare for Social Studies now.

Talked to Gabriel about oral in his school. They don't do formal oral like us. They do debates and speeches. Ha, I bet none of you know who he is :)

I wanna be taller D:

Haha, all my random lines have no link between them.

2010-04-30T23:26:00.001+08:00

Screwed my chinese paper 1. Seems like everyone is saying that anyway. I think that I got out of point for the compo...

Like my paper 2 was any better at all. I had no idea what the passages were about. And for the first half an hour, I was drifting in and out of sleep!

2010-04-26T17:18:00.002+08:00

Exam in 2 days time :)

Oh, we found out the committee...

SL, SC (again -.-) and ABM :O

Anyway, yeah. Omg, 1 year ahead as ABM.

Hm, dont know what to post. Oh well.

I guess that's all :)

2010-04-16T22:47:00.002+08:00

Yeah, since there are numerous comments about how hard my blog is to navigate, I changed skin. Don't fret, for those who preferred the previous skin, I still have the code :)

Mum and Dad went overseas and I'm left to wake up at 5.40am to make sure I get to school on time. All this extra time to make breakfast and everything. Yeah, that makes me tired. Staying back everyday till 6 doesn't help too.

I failed my physics but aced my chemistry. I'm really starting to get worried about physics. What if I have no choice but to drop to combined physics? Not that I despise combined science, but I really want to stay in pure chemistry...

Speaking of chemistry, my chem teacher, Ms Low, is leaving at the end of the month. Back to RI, which was where she came from. I'm not too happy with the reason she provided ('i think im going crazy' *laughs*)

Why can't she stay? Darn D:

Oh, so much happened in band too. Many rumours going around about the new committee. So much whispering behind backs. I don't remember the selection of the committee being so controversial last time.

I just received an SMS from HuiMin asking if I want to play for ShuQun's concert but on the tenor sax :O! Should I?

2010-04-07T20:14:00.002+08:00

Speech Day in 2 day's time. All those rehearsals are annoying. I want to spend time at home, you know? And just noticed that I will be staying back everyday of the week. Plus Saturday band practice.

Chem, physics and chinese test tomorrow. What a killer. I'm most probably going to flunk Physics. Yeah, very unmotivated of me.

So many things happened since I last posted, which has been quite awhile. I'm not going to bother to recap them. Waste of time.

What the heck. My mum keeps telling me to 'practice maths'. Does she think that maths is the only subject in school? Fuck man! I don't know what the fuck is wrong with them. I study other subjects and she says that I'm not bloody studying.

I don't know. Right now, I feel like going crazy. Like taking my violin and smashing it or something. Running down to the park and shout vulgarities. Or maybe run all the way to the swings which is just down the road. And stay there for the night. I don't know what is wrong now. I just feel very messed up.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Don't

Know

2010-03-20T20:01:00.003+08:00

Been a long time since I posted :O

Been pretty busy. I failed my A.Maths. First F9 in my life (Y)

Oh, I just passed Physics. Luckily, my 49.8 (lol fail) was rounded up to a 50.

During the March Holidays, I have been going to back to school every weekday. For maths and band. I remember staying in school from 10 in the morning to 9.30 at night. Had band from 10 to 5 (10 to 11.30 was sectionals) and then went for maths from 7.30 to 9. Had lunch in between at TP. The school is such a nice (and creepy) place at night :)

Oh, and its cold too.

The school was open at night cuz the sec 1s were having their NE camp. Haha, I remember my own NE camp. We didnt need to stay overnight and it only lasted 2 days. Maybe the temporary campus was too small...?

Speaking of the temporary campus, I really miss it. I wonder hows the band room now. And hows my former classroom. Now the campus is under the hands of a primary school. Hopefully they treat the band room with care like we did :)

The previous school might have been smaller, yes, but it felt bigger for some reason. It had a homelier feel over there. And the atrium. The ultimate slack place. Well, the band room is better for slacking. But still, the atrium had a piano there. And there were many tables and chairs. And you could use electronic devices there and the teachers wont care anyway. Why cant the piano be left in the atrium? :(

2010-03-07T15:02:00.002+08:00

My friend emigrated to USA. He's starting school soon. Hopefully, he won't suffer any racism there.

Oh, and he is bitching about snow.

I wish there was snow in Singapore.

White, fluffy snow.

2010-03-05T22:05:00.003+08:00

I'm so worried for my common tests results. The sec 4s keeps saying that it's normal. But i'm still not assured. Not one bit.

Firstly, our English compo was marked very strictly. So strict that the highest score in our class was the lowest in another class. Oh, different teachers marked them.

What if I fail English? NA?

Oh, I just found out that I failed physics by 0.2 for my overall. FML.

Argh. I just slept 4 hours when I reached home today. I'm that tired. Sec 3 is sapping the energy and life out of me.

Recently, I listened to the recording of our SYF playing last year. yeahimstuckinthepastwhatever

Hm. I miss those times. I remember looking out of the window silently when we were going back to school from SCH while everyone was making a racket.

Ha.

2010-03-02T19:56:00.002+08:00

Now, the maths common test is postponed to Thursday. Im so going to sue Mr Siva.

Oh, I failed my Physics overall. By 3.

I passed my CL Oral :O

E-Learning Day tomorrow.

Hopefully, my computer wont shut down or crash on me.

Bye :)

2010-03-01T19:16:00.001+08:00

I studied for A.Maths till midnight yesterday with Derine and Yi Heng on the phone through conference. Haha. Midnight Muggers Group :)

So I happily studied.

And was told that the test was postponed to tomorrow.

Damn it.

2010-02-28T19:23:00.000+08:00

So many bad things after one another.

A.Maths tomorrow. Crap.

2010-02-27T19:21:00.001+08:00

_|_

2010-02-26T17:34:00.003+08:00

I know I'm a Secondary 3 like the rest of you, so I shouldn't be preaching you guys.

I know that it's stressful in Sec 3 (HOMEWORKOMFG)

But you claim that you are tired.

You need to study.

You don't see the point in coming on Thursdays.

Utter bullshit.

I'm tired. I know I may sound like an arrogant dickhead saying this, but I'm more tired seeing that I take 8 subjects. Not 6. Not 7.

I need to study too. I came for band on Thursday. I reached home at 7. And I'm left with A.Maths homework to do. E.Maths to study for the next day. Pure physics to mug on. In about 4 hours.

Some on the combined science people had physics and social studies on Thursday. You guys in band complain about how unfair it is to have 2 papers. But look, you have more than 6 hours to study for those 2. If you say you have no time, probably cuz you are playing (sports or computer games), sleeping or just slacking.

So you don't see the point of coming on Thursdays? You are that good? You can play your pieces perfectly well?

Soran Bushi (rock version)?

Spirited Away?

An American Elegy?

Allerseelen?

You can play every single thing in Symphonic Band Technique?

If you can, Thursday is still not a waste of time.

Sectionals? Your section can play everything perfectly? As if any section can right now.

We achieved Gold in NBC'08. Silver in SYF'09. So, on the pretext of sleeping or studying, you all are going to let the band standard drop to pre-NBC? The band is very well on its way.

Come on. We are sec 3s this year. We will be the leading batch this year. We cant have a committee which skips band practice every day.

Probably none of the sec 3s will read this.

Hopefully, someone will. And spread the message.

Natalie isn't too pleased with us too. Go read her blog.

Please, don't be self-centered. If me and SOME other sec 3s can come, I don't see why the rest of you can't come.

2010-02-23T19:37:00.000+08:00

The common test period is here again.

Im going to think positive and think that I am going to get full marks for everything.

Weee

2010-02-18T20:12:00.002+08:00

I hate this computer of mine. Always hanging or shutting down for no freaking reason.

My parents says every time, " Wait till there is a promotion."

When the fuck will that promo come? It has been one year since they said that. Obviously, promotions don't come every decade or something.

Meh.

2010-02-12T19:48:00.001+08:00

4 days of no schooling!

Time to catch up on my sleep. Sec 3 life is horrible

2010-02-07T16:11:00.002+08:00

Went to Pizza Hut to eat pasta with bandies :)

The pic above was spicy chicken pomodoro. And its was really spicy.

See the chopped CHILLI in the sauce?

2010-02-03T18:16:00.002+08:00

Maths, maths, maths.

Why cant you be easier?

Its not like I will be applying my knowledge about polynomials (sucks) and indices in my working life. Not unless I become a maths teacher, which I highly doubt will happen.

Then again. Maybe its just me not working hard enough, which is the more probable answer.

After screwing up both my E maths and A maths test, I resolve to work hard in both.

Science rocks though. So much more interesting then crunching numbers and solving algebra. Chemistry practical is fun! So nice to see the colours of the liquids change :)

Oh, but physics practical is hell. It was during noon and the fans were switched off so the wind wouldnt affect our timing of the pendulum moving. And I was wearing long pants.

Speaking of long pants, I wanna taper them. When its too baggy, its annoying the hell out of me.

Ah, this post could go on forever. But all good things (lol) come to an end.

Im going for my violin lesson now. Bye!

2010-01-29T18:25:00.005+08:00

Sec 3 life is horrible. At least for me. The workload increased lots and due to band, I cant finish my homework. I noticed that because of band, I cant do alot of things. Im not saying I hate it, it justs makes things kinda inconvenient for me.

(oh, i heard something which hurt me about band)

2010-01-23T18:01:00.000+08:00

Seeing my sec 1 not believing in himself...

makes me feel like a failure as a senior :(

2010-01-19T18:02:00.002+08:00

Stupid home room system. I have to carry my heavy textbooks everywhere I go, including recess. Oh. Now, we have to sit by class during recess too! How retarded!

2010-01-16T21:50:00.003+08:00

What I learnt today -

Do not judge a person's eating habits from their body figure

2010-01-10T18:48:00.002+08:00

If any band members will read this post, please be aware that during warm ups, if you all dont cooperate, the student conductor will be

PISSED

2010-01-09T14:38:00.001+08:00

I just noticed that I eat food with chilli everyday, no matter in what form.

Yum.

2010-01-06T18:58:00.001+08:00

Bloody heavy textbooks.

2010-01-01T00:06:00.005+08:00

IT'S 2010!

I can see pretty fireworks outside my window right now!

What a beautiful sight.

My new year resolution. Ah. This. Haha! Lose weight? Yeah, that should be it. What a typical resolution.

My new year wish? Can I have three? HAHA:

- excel in studies
- LOSE WEIGHT LOL
- for band to be SUCCESSFUL!

*closes eyes and wish very hard for these three wishes i just wished for to happen. i wish*

Oh long pants next year! Wait, I mean this year. Isn't that soooo weird?

2009-12-26T21:58:00.000+08:00

School is starting soon and I havent done any of my holiday homework.

2009-12-22T23:41:00.002+08:00

The camp is finally over :)

Im so freaking tired. I slept for 11 hours straight.

The concert was awesome :)

Oh, and playing the soprano sax was fun!

Darn Im already missing it. Haha. I miss its tone =/

Thanks JJC for letting me play the soprano for the quintet. :)

Thanks to you CHS people for the zai music playing :)

Oh, good night everyone.

2009-12-12T22:10:00.003+08:00

To myself,

my section,

the band,

Do not give up!

Not after all the effort we have put in so far!

To my dear Sec 1s, this will be your first official concert performance.

Give it your best!

And to Peirce Wind Symphony,

Let our music become magic,

Let's all make this a good one!

To be mature means to face, and not evade, every fresh crisis that comes.

- Fritz Kunkel

Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!

2009-12-11T21:59:00.002+08:00

I havent done my holiday homework. Crap.

But I really dont know what to do, seeing that the instructions for the SS homework is retarded.

Type in the answers on foolscap paper
Print out the assignment once it has been completed.

very clever, but how do you type out answers on foolscap. And assuming that she meant 'write out the answers on foolscap', why is there a need to print out the assignment once it has been completed?

Paradoxical fail.

2009-12-09T19:20:00.002+08:00

I am feeling so down right now.

Tuesday's band practice was a fiasco. When Mr Lim came in, I thought the mood wouldnt be so heavy. Yeah.

So Samantha continued with tuning us. Since I was supposed to play my Fsharp for tuning, I did. I played the higher octave. Then Mr Lim said that we are supposed to play the lower octave Fsharp, and all his other schools never had a problem with that.

But the problem is, he himself told me to tune with my high Fsharp.

I wonder why I feel responsible for the band now.

2009-11-28T15:42:00.002+08:00

Damn it. Stupid school.

So I went to school today to have sectionals, so I went. When I reached there, all access to the 2nd level was closed, and the band room was at the 2nd level. I asked the security guard,

"Can you please unlock one of the gates for the stairs?"

"Cannot la. No teacher cannot open."

And the GO was open. Stupidstupidstupid school management. So I went to school for nothing. I woke up early for nothing. I could have slept in later.

So I left school and went to the AMK Library. I reached 10 minutes before it opened and waited for it to open. I saw a relief teacher there, she looked at me and she looked away. I also saw someone with bubblegum pink hair. Looks soooo unnatural.

Went in, go use the computer in there awhile. Then go find some books. Haha, yeah, you guys are gonna call me a bookworm. Whatever. So I borrowed

It by Stephen King

The Pact by Jodi Picoult

These should keep me busy for awhile.

After that, I was suddenly so so so thirsty. So I stupidly walked from the library all the way to AMK Central just to go to 7-11 to get a freaking drink. Along the way, I was thinking,

'This place is so damn big and there is no grocery stall around?!'

Went to buy grapefruit juice. Then I walked the hub and took 86. But 86 doesnt stop exactly outside my house. The distance between my house is...say...400 - 500 metres?

So I walked. And halfway, it bloody rained.

Could this day get any worse?

I dont think I ever ran so fast in this stretch of pavement before. And when I reached home, I showered. When I stepped out from the bathroom, I felt that God was making fun of me.

Outside of the window, the sun was shining and there wasnt a single drop of rain.

What is this?!

2009-11-23T15:58:00.000+08:00

Yeah, dead. I really cant think of anything to post.

I wanna go kayaking.

2009-11-14T23:29:00.002+08:00

So POP is over. Lets talk about today and yesterday.

I didnt think we sounded as good as we did yesterday AFTER the full rehearsal...but what done is done. At least it is better than yesterday's full rehearsal.

The hall was damn warm. Blazer + Long pants + Shirt + Tie + Saxo strap. Gosh, I was in a small hell of my own in terms of temperature. Hmm...I still feel that we played better than ShuQun. Why did Mr Lim choose the same song for both of our schools? Argh.

And yesterday, we lent ShuQun an alto cuz theirs spoiled (friday the 13th?). And the girl who was using ours was staring at us everytime we walked pass her. Staring like she is going to eat us. So much for gratitude. And they just dumped the saxophone they used in the case outside the band room. At least Regent who also borrowed an alto, bothered to INFORM me that they would help me keep INSIDE the band room and leave it IN there. Ah, at least they have manners.

After all the songs were played, Regent started on Hawaii Five-O. Someone accused me of trying to make her learn the song in 1 hour, which I did NOT. I only said,

'Play if you want to lor. Wadeva'

-.-

So yeah, Regent played and some people in the audience started playing along. Haha, the sax + clar melody is nice :)

Too bad Olivia wasnt there. It felt kinda awkward since no sec 4s for my section was there. So I was just walkin around....but then, she had important things to attend to.

Reached home and was damn tired. So I slept from 3+ to 7+. Yeah, I sleep. Whatever. Thanks Lynn for the goodie bags. You have a knack for choosing stuff which taste good :) Oh, meaningful message. So personalized. Haha.

Oh, does assorted green peas make sense? Seeing that a green pea is a green pea, how can it be assorted?

And Mr Lim said that we had a kiddy sound D:

2009-11-08T13:20:00.002+08:00

I think it was right to NOT take music. Or I would be reaching home at 7/8+ every -

Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I dont want that Wednesday.

2009-11-04T01:51:00.002+08:00

I finally found out that the internet here is significantly slower around midnight.

And 1 - 3am is the witching hour.

Haha, i posted during the witching hour.

But how can 1 - 3 be an hour? Isnt it hours?

Ah well.

2009-11-03T16:57:00.002+08:00

Are holidays overseas really necessary?

To me, not really. I rather stay in sunny singapore.

Things I love about Singapore
- the singlish
- the unique NEWater taste
- 'choping'
- crazy weather that doesnt make up its mind
- the drama in classes
- the people (not all)
- the food (yeah, its a common reason. but heck, its true!)
- the HDBs (foreigners go - ohhhh people live in those highhigh buildings?)
- the clearcut separation of HOUSING, BUSINESS, FACTORY, etc...
- the people who drive on the road
- the ahbengs
- the ahlians

yeah, all these things make singapore uniquely singapore.

Isnt it simply wonderful? *snigger*

The academic year has come to an end.

One year passed so fast. Will next year be as fast?

Seems like time passes fast when you are truly enjoying yourself. Be it crapping with friends, doing the subjects you like or just walking around the school when it is quiet and deserted.

Oh. Yeah. I love it when the school has nobody left except for me and a few other mates. Its so tranquil. The school really is a different place when the bustle of activity in the morning and afternoon stops. So so quiet.

Yeah, I know. I can still find my classmates next year. But it isnt the same feeling if we arent in the same class. You cant really stay close if you are apart most of the time right? Perhaps a 'hi', 'bye', 'how are you' and some random crapping. Thats all. Or maybe hang out at who knows where.

2e1 'o9!

Had band today...

Crap, im getting damn demoralised at that person. And listen to ourselves...haiz. I wonder how the other school sec 1s are.

The 4 hours (roughly) of band felt like an 8 to 5 session. I wonder why.

First hour (?) was sectionals. It was okay until KOHZHENGLIANG started making a crapload of mistakes. I would teach him, he would get it correct. When we go to the next mistake, he forgets the first one. So yeah, its a neverending cycle.

Hopefully, next year sec1s will be little devils. Then i will make those 3 people guide and teach them and make them suffer. But they wont feel the stress of what I feel. I doubt they will be teaching 3 each. Like the saxo section will ever get 9 sec1s at one time. Perhaps a max of 1 each.

Gosh. I cant imagine managing a section with 7 people.

KIEW! You idiot. Why did you pon band so long and let yourself be sent to clarinet and leave me in the lurch?!

I urged you so many times to come back. But you didnt want to face the music and refused to. Thanks for making me suffer.

Yeah, this post is kinda like a rant. Bye.

2009-10-22T20:19:00.001+08:00

9 subjects....

too much?

2009-10-18T13:55:00.000+08:00

Is this new skin confusing?

2009-10-14T10:15:00.001+08:00

eoys are over.

hell, yeah.

2009-10-09T13:25:00.000+08:00

5 days left...

2009-10-03T15:16:00.000+08:00

Hm...I like oat.

Oatmeal with oatmeal biscuits mixed inside. Yum!

2009-09-24T18:55:00.004+08:00

The Younger One
One is self centered. Always thinks that she is right. Shouting fuck to people when in an argument. Being a bitch, generally speaking. A hypocrite.

The Older One
The other one is obsessed with acting tough to the people she hates. Putting up a tough front, being downright stubborn to reconcile with anyone she hates. Acts righteous to everyone. A hypocrite.

What happens when both of these personalities clash? Anarchy.

What the fuck is wrong with my 2 sisters?

The argument started like that. The older one, acting like some enviromentalist, said "water is precious", and told the maid to put a pail of water in the bathroom. The younger one, chatting on the phone, for some reason, accidentally dropped the phone into the pail when in the toilet.

Nothing happened at first. Until my mum talked to the younger one in front of the older one. She said things like;

be obedient
dont waste money
etcetcetc

And the younger one demanded why she had to ask. And so the older one talked about the handphone incident. Oh, the price of the handphone was provided partly by the older one and partly by mum.

And they started blaming each other. The younger one said that she shouldnt have put the pail there in the first place. The older one said she shouldnt have been talking on the phone in the toilet in the first place. The younger one accuses the older one of taking the phone into the toilet before too, but the older one denies. Bullshit. I saw her talk in the toilet before. Hypocrite.

They started to shout fuck and bitch and all things like that to each other. If HDBs had transparent walls, I would give anything, including my life, to disappear that instant. When the husband of the older one came home, she told him all about it like some old gossiping bitch.

The following night, the husband did something despicable. He eavesdropped on the younger one while she was having a conversation with her friend in her own room. Yeah. Eavesdropped. And the younger one, thinking that she was safe, said:

Fuck him, fuck her, fuck them all.

And the husband, like some faithful dog, reported to the older bitch. This led the argument to the next level.

The next level indeed. The older bitch severed all ties with the younger bitch. Since I have 3 sisters, my nephew would have 2 aunts. And the older bitch told her son,

From now on, you have only 1 aunt.

The stupid son of a bitch, cheered. Cheered with giggles. Fuck.

My mum cooked a big pot of rendang. Since the older bitch wanted to avoid the younger bitch, she said that her family was going out tonight. Fuck her. She knows that the younger bitch doesnt come home till midnight. Yet she still went out with her son. Her husband followed her like a faithful dog.

Just that afternoon, she said to her son,

Dont waste food.

Right now, by not eating the homecooked dinner, she is wasting food. The rice was already cooked and so was the rendang. Hypocrite.

My mum was begging, literally begging her to stay at home. But her, with her obsession to act tough, went out. Fuck her.

I hate her for that. I hate her hypocrisy.

To add on to her hypocrisy point
Once, my dad called me an idiot. The older bitch heard that and reprimanded him for calling me that, saying that doing so, I will become one.

But everyday, when she is coaching her son of a bitch with his homework, she would call him

brainless
idot
retard
moron
dumb
stupid

if he does not know how to do his work.

Im disgusted at her.

I dont know who to side with.

2009-09-23T17:23:00.005+08:00

Hmm....exams are starting in 13 days. And Im still using the computer? After this post, the blog would probably be dead till 10+ Oct.
Right now, Im dead nervous about the EOYs. Because of streaming.

Stream-ing (stree-ming) -noun

1.an act or instance of flowing

2.Also called protoplasmic streaming. Biology. rapid flowing of cytoplasm within a cell; cyclosis

3.Computers. a technology for transferring data so that it can be received and processed in a steady stream: live streaming video.

Well, that didnt make sense in relation of what secondary school students define 'streaming'. We are definitely not flowing, whether on the floor, in the river, within a cell, or through some wires as data. But MOST of us know how important streaming is. But then again, there are always some people who dont give a shit.

This school of mine can be kinda limited. Lets say you can take only 7 subjects. You cant take any pure humanities if you take any pure science and vice versa.
Lets say you take 8 subjects. Now, you can have anything you want. Anything. Anything except for:

Drama, Art, F&N, D&T.

Why not? Hmmm...

Back to the nervousness. I know im kinda screwed for Chinese. But at least it isnt compulsory for L1R5 computation. And since this papers weigh a big percentage in the overall....crap. Ah. I just wasted time. Damn it.
Oh well. Goodbyes.

2009-09-17T18:42:00.001+08:00

Hmm...

How to help those who dont want to be helped...?

2009-09-09T10:22:00.004+08:00

Recently, some people asked me what was the meaning of

Life is like a roll of toilet paper.

It is from a comic called pickles. If you read the Sunday Times, you would know.

And the meaning behind it.

When your toilet paper is running out, dont you get lazy and unwilling to go down to the mart or your cabinet just to get one dumb roll of toilet paper. Imagine when you just done your business, and you needed some toilet paper. So your twist your body to get the toilet roll. And...

GASP!!!

All that is left is that stupid cardboard cylinder! So, you think to yourself. How?

You could either,

1) Crawl out of the bathroom and hope that no one sees you and grabbed a roll

2) Call someone to help you at the risk of them smelling your waste

3) Go into the shower and let your hand touch your waste while washing it and come out wet.

4) Cry for help

These are just 4 out of the infinite choices you can make. See, life does give you choices. So dont complain when you are stuck in a tight situation. There are always choices.

Either way, all these requires effort. And doesnt the word EFFORT make you lazy?

So, after all these rantings, the meaning is:

Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the more you reach its end, the more you appreciate it.

Now, look at that roll of toilet paper with more respect, wont you?

One of the most beautiful music I heard on the bassoon.

The performance on teachers day was, in my opinion, crap. Or maybe it was just me. I feel that it was only the gimmicks that saved us. But its just my opinion.

Quite long since I posted. Seems like I post only every few days.

During teachers day, went back to mfps. Not alot of people there to say the least. Not alot of students OR teachers. And Mr Lim is gonna go abroad to study next year :(

After that, went to AMK library and met Julian there. Borrowed 2 books. Pretties and Code of the Clans. Dont diao me when I wrote the word 'Pretties'! Its not some bimbo book or stupid lame series about girls. Well...yes, the main character is a girl, but it isnt about what you usually read in girl books. The first in the series in Uglies. Highly recommended read :)

The Uglies Series

After borrowing, went to the cafe in the library to have lunch. Both of us had spaghetti. And my spaghetti was slightly hard. Not well cooked I assume. And Julian's one was perfect D: not to hard or soft. Darn!

Originally planned to go to his house, but it was too busy there. So bused home on 86. Spent the rest of the day kinda uneventfully.

Recently, I tried to compose some music. Haha. I think it kinda epic failed though. Should I let anyone listen to it? What if it was crap and they would laugh at me or something? Oh, the shame....!

But it was the best compostion I made so far. Oh well. Am I getting to be some music freak? I hope not. I may play 2 instruments, but other people play like 5 instruments. For me, 3 is enough. Unless I have extreme interest in that instrument like ~~oboe~~...i dunno.

Cough.

Yup. Signing out.

2009-08-22T10:23:00.002+08:00

Heh, school yesterday was not fun.

I shall not go thru those lessons.

After school went to bandroom to play joe hisaishi works 3. Then, charlene called me.

It was raining super heavily outside and she was at the back gate bus stop and she told me to bring an umbrella to her. So i borrowed one from yokoyama mei.

I made jaben come along as i didnt want to go myself. we went to the canteen and opened the umbrella and stepped into the rain.

Having an umbrella made NO FREAKING DIFFERENCE.

So we were soaked to the skin literally and cold.

And charlene wasnt at the bus stop yet. And guah yang was there.

She came and the 4 of us decided to run back. Halfway, charlene told me to stop and we used the umbrella.

Back in school, went toilet to try and dry myself which failed. Then mr chiz saw me and say something very wrong. Then bring me to staff room to give me a spare pe shirt to change into. but my pants were wet la.

go toilet passed the whole band then they like shocked to see me. went into toilet and used hand dryer as a hair dryer.

during band sit down my pants were dripping. yucks. so the hornies and trumpets lend me their saliva boxes.

in case you didnt know, brass instruments collect saliva inside, so they need to empty it. so dripdripdrip the rain water mixed with the saliva. wanna drink?

after band at 5 went to kfc to eat. every takeaway except me, which made no difference. by the time i ate, the last person was still in the queue. so went back to school and got on the school bus to NUS. played taptap on charlene's ipod touch. was so excited by the concert until found out that it was only brass. i have nothing against brass instruments...just that...well...i dont play brass.

and boston brass played. and they were....:o

superb
epic
wow
spectacular
OMG

tried my best to enjoy the brass literature by the other players, but it wasnt very enticing.

after that, got on bus at went back to peirce, about 10?

by the time parents came to fetch, only left me, yibo, sinyine and ms huang.

yibo got on my parents vehicle and went to the yck mrt station. he didnt want to go to the bus stop opposite school. its dark, creepy and just next to a forest. and its the chinese 7th month now.

so, the day ended. yay.

2009-08-01T20:06:00.002+08:00

I rediscovered the joy of cycling

The rush of the wind when riding down a steep slope.
The curses running through my head when riding up a steep slope.

The pain of falling off the bike.

Ahh....memories

2009-07-28T21:28:00.001+08:00

Yay Birthday. Happy 14th to me :D

Today lessons:

Chinese:

Told that Fri got compo test and went through words. But no one (mostly) was listening. And no one was making noise either. So yeah....

English:

Same as above. English > English (reading) lessons. Oh, and we are playin Cluedo during English lesson and Im one of the suspects. Maybe I can get Bridget to get me off the suspect list by telling her it can be my birthday present...

Science:

Chem/Bio for this week and the next. Jeya's lesson. Went through the 3 worksheets that she gave 2 weeks ago when we had Physics instead (which is a hell lot better). But I wasnt listening. I was reading a book under the table. Books are better than her lessons.

Drama:

OMGOMG. My character for this blasted test was Poh Keat. I had to sing 4 lines. Not much eh? But not if the lines were;

Oh dear my Evelyn; How much you have grown
From the little girl; That I have once known
This magical feeling I realise
Whenever I look into your eyes

Bleargghshjgahlgruigih.

On the 1st attempt, I laughed. I would have gotten a fail if Mr Yeo didnt allow a retest. Luckily I didnt laugh.

Mathematics:

Usual lesson. Like lecture liddat. Went through mensuration. I cant remember those bloody formulas and I have a test on Thursday. Stupid cones shit. I wont eat ice cream cones for a year.

Assembly:

Watched this group : Chilli Padis act. Quite good and funny.

After school went band room slack for 1/2 hour. Did ~~bad~~ things. :D

Went home. Go thru net trying to find a stupid map for Lower Peirce Reservoir but couldnt. Damn it. And the deadline is on Wed. Screwed.

Had cake. Hazelnut chocolate. Nicenice :D

And thanks to :

Josephine for the WHITE Kinder Bueno and bear thing
Nicole and Derine for the awsm card
Elijah for the super cute Yoshi doll.

YOSHI!

2009-07-23T19:53:00.004+08:00

Yessssss.....I didnt fail my maths and I doubt I will so for physics. Was so freaking worried that would get 12 but got 16 out of 20 :D

Band resumed...stupid test. 12 stupid major/minor scales. And the woodwind tutor make me chiong through 13 short songs. The muscle round my lips were like quivering like mad le and she just keep laughing -.-

Pure Agony.

Went to watch HP and the Half Blood Prince with Munsoon, Nicole, Rachel and Sarah. It wasnt as epic as I thought it would be. It looked so much better as a film trailer. They skipped too many parts from the book. I mean, they skipped the important parts and added redundant parts. If they had time to do the redundant parts, why not do the more important parts?

------ This part is only for people who read the book------

********************SPOILER***********************
They didnt really delve into what the heck a horcrux is.
Only 2 memories were shown.
How could they have skipped the memory about Marvolo Gaunt?
Lavender loves Ron, but they didnt introduce her properly. People who only watches the movie wont have a clue who she was.
Dumbledore's relationship with Harry wasnt as strong as it was in the book.
Harry was in a cafe in the beginnning, not the Dursley's like in the book.
Dumbledore disapparated out of Hogwarts to the cave with the fake horcrux instead of going to The Hog's Head and disapparating.
THERE WAS NO BATTLE AT HOGWARTS
Snape's reaction to Harry calling him a coward was.....urgh. Almost no anger at all. And the way Snape revealed that he was the Half Blood Prince was...unexcitable.
Harry used Sectemsumpra (sp?) on Malfoy, Snape caught him but Snape didnt even ask anything about the book.
The Half Blood Prince was nothing more than a title. It was hardly relavant in the movie.
********************END OF SPOILER***********************

But the acting improved though.

Haha I wrote so much.

2009-07-10T16:38:00.001+08:00

So long never post le >.< No time laaaaaa

So much time passed, and stupid H1N1 postponed the POP. And (seems like) because of that, got a music test in band.

Speaking of music, I signed up for the O level music. I wonder if I will regret it. Hope not.

Watching Pink Panther now. Haha.

MICHAEL JACKSON

Its not that I really like him as a person, but his music was nice. As a musician, I respect him. It was also very shocking for such a famous star to die. I guess the world is just as shocked, even though some people will be thinking, "Good Riddance". I tried to find a picture, but decided not to.

2009-06-06T20:29:00.003+08:00

What encouraging parents.

A jump from D7 for the common test to B3 during MYEs for maths isnt much at all.

Considering the fact that i was failing my algebra like shit consistently before the MYEs and i managed to get a B3.

Nope, not a cause for a small congrats or celebration.

I wanna watch the Blair Witch Project. When im done finding it, maybe i should gather all the people in my class interested in watching it and head off to yanyee's ~~rich~~ house.

Im so worried about my L1R5. Though im not doing O levels this year and its not going to affect my future that much, getting from 9 to 17 points is a very very big increase. My better subjects just had to drop as my worser subjects went up. Darn. And my english was 1 mark away from A1. One freaking mark -.-

BNMB is so mean Dx

2009-05-23T16:20:00.004+08:00

You wont understand.

I have been hearing this 3 words being spoken to me alot of times recently. And it was spoken by people of the same age. If it was spoken by someone older, maybe I would really NOT understand.

But to the 3 people who said it to me recently, please. Just because right now, the situation is happening to you and not anyone else, doesnt mean nobody UNDERSTANDS. A typical conversation.

Me: Why?
Person: You wont understand.

What makes you people think that i dont understand?

Its not like im inexperienced in life or something. All of you dont need to act like you are older and understand the world alot more then me. You guys may be older. But being older by a few freaking months doesnt make a difference. You enter school the same time as me. You graduated from P6 the same time as me. Being older in terms of months doesnt make you any different.

So PLEASE PEOPLE.

For Fucks SAKE

Stop saying

'You wont understand'

2009-05-20T13:45:00.000+08:00

Phew.

The sec2 camp is finally over. I wanna kayak again. Darn. I hope I can find/get a chance to kayak at a time OUTSIDE of camp.

Im sure most people know this chocolate sweet....Mine became a stupid block... -.-

2009-05-09T12:25:00.003+08:00

i think i might have some hope for my chinese. especially in compos :D the storylines are getting more complex....like my english compos.

i screwed up home econs. mr chiz told me i got 62 for D&T. at least i passed

oh, history was FUN. haha, i think i will do quite well for it

maths paper 1 was kinda easy. maybe cuz it is me siva set? but im worried that i have tons of careless mistakes like in the common test...

science was..well...moderate. jeya's questions are still copy and paste from notes for the answers. BORING. even physics is better. for some reason, im starting to feel that physics is easier.

all that is left is maths paper 2. i swear it will be uber hard.

*crosses fingers*

2009-05-06T11:59:00.008+08:00

It's hard to believe that the Pentagon website has this surprisingly un-PC sub-section listing of some more obscure WMD's (Weapons of Mass Destruction): The following is a list of more obscure forms of domestic "Banned" Weapons of Mass Destruction. These are the most insidious and dangerous weapons of all. To the common lay person they appear innocuous and non-lethal, but in the right hands they present a threat of incalculable proportions. Please read the following and heed all precautions therewith.

PICCOLO:
The minute dimensions of this weapon make it especially lethal as it is easily concealed and can be set off just about anywhere. As a solo weapon this device emits a high pitched squeal that directly targets the inner ear. The application of this tone temporarily disorients its intended victim rendering him unable to react. The natural reaction of covering one's ears to reduce the intense pain causes military personnel within a 100 yard radius to drop their weapons leaving them defenseless to further attack. Applied in concert with a second piccolo of slightly higher or lower pitch, the weapons produce the effect of an ice pick through the eardrum and may cause profuse bleeding of the aural cavity. These weapons are constructed in 3 forms; metal, composite materials, wood, or any combination of the three. The all metal piccolos are especially lethal. The only countermeasure to this weapon is to apply psychological warfare in the following manner. Compliment the musician on her: Clothes Hair Shoes. This will distract the musician(s) from emitting her deadly tones and cause her to gab endlessly about herself. This in itself takes us to another problem man has dealt with for a thousand years and to which there is no antidote. Good Luck!

FLUTE:
Slightly less effective as the piccolo but still nothing to be trifled with. The flute possesses the same destructive qualities as the piccolo but is required in greater numbers to do so. 6th and 7th grade females are especially effective with this weapon and are to be approached with extreme caution.

OBOE:
This weapon may appear harmless at first sight. The instrument's stealth qualities lure its intended victims into a false state of security, and then hit you without mercy. The oboe itself is a harmless composite or wooden conical tube. Once the ordnance(reed) is inserted, it is a weapon of tremendous power. One comforting factor is that the oboe is only as dangerous as the musician who wields it. At first glance the operator of the oboe appears sweet and demure and quite approachable. Do not be fooled by this technique of deception. The oboist is actually a very high strung and temperamental foe. This is caused by the perpetual search for the perfect reed, which we all know doesn't exist. Those who play on plastic reeds are the bottom dwellers of the oboe world and especially dangerous. The oboe is capable of producing a tone of laser-like quality. The sheer capabilities of volume produced can overpower an entire concert band. The resulting backpressure produced by over blowing has a two way effect. It allows the musician to play seemingly forever on one breath resulting in sympathetic vibrations causing bullet proof glass and diamonds to shatter into deadly flying shards. The warning signs of impending doom occur when the musician raises the body of the instrument to her mouth to blow dust from under a key. This is how the weapon is cocked. If you ever see an oboist do this run for cover for all **** is about to break loose. The second effect of this weapon's backpressure is to cause its owner to eventually go insane. On rare occasion an oboist's head has been known to explode while firing their weapon. The only countermeasure to this weapon is to remove and professionally destroy the ordnance (reed). Doing so will also incur the wrath of its owner, so use extreme caution. The first master of the oboe as a weapon was Melvin "Schwartz" (Oklahoma All-State Band 1982), name changed to protect the guilty. He single handedly destroyed a performance of the Howard Hanson Romantic Symphony Finale under McBeth with his laser-like tones and inconsistent attacks. To this day he has a bounty on his head and was last seen tending bar in Tijuana.

Smaller but body the same as Bb clarinet

Eb CLARINET:
The Eb clarinet is the Tasmanian Devil of the woodwind family. Entirely uncontrollable and unpredictable, its blunderbuss like emissions can occur without warning. It is as much a danger to its owner as it is to the intended victim. For this reason the Eb clarinet is not in wide use today and only used by highly trained professionals and circus band daredevils.

Bb CLARINET:
As the flute is to the piccolo, the Bb Clarinet is to the Eb Clarinet. The only time a Bb clarinet is considered truly dangerous is in the hands of a saxophonist doubling on clarinet. His seemingly lacking ability to adjust his air to the clarinet causes a tone so forced and horrific that decorum prevents me from continuing.

This is only the Alto Clarinet, the others look slightly different, except for the Contrabass.

ALTO, BASS, CONTRA BASS CLARINET:
The Scud missiles of the clarinet family. Considered to be low grade weapons, these clarinets are of limited lethality due to the geekiness of their operators.

BASSOON:
This is a weapon designed to start wars. Used primarily indoors, this weapon's unique tone can cause great embarrassment in social situations. Also known as the "farting bed post" the bassoonist will hide behind a set of curtains at an official state dinner or similar function. With the help of a diplomatic operative during the meal, the intermittent flatulent tones emitted by the bassoon can be blamed on certain visiting high government officials, causing great embarrassment and the possible beginning of hostilities between two countries. The best countermeasure to the bassoon involves lighter fluid and matches you fill in the blanks).

SOPRANO SAXOPHONE:
Mere words cannot begin to describe the offensive capabilities of this most heinous weapon. The mere mention of its name can send the most battle-hardened veterans screaming into the night…which by coincidence, is a fairly accurate description of the sounds which emanate from it (also known as the “Gorelick Effect”).

ALTO SAX:
Originally invented by Adolph Sax as the result of an evening of much cheap wine and a dare by a drunken horn player, he produced an instrument that is neither brass nor woodwind. The only intended victim of this vile weapon is the concert band French horn player. Nothing is worse than hearing a great brass lick only to be obscured by the overly reedy tone and wobbly "vibrato" of some half crazed alto sax doubling the horns and overplaying them. Composers and arrangers are to blame as much as the alto players. Older players unable to temper their 1940's swing band vibrato are also a danger. The only counter measure is to question their manhood by daring the player to play Charlie Parker's "Donna Lee" at 230 beats per minute. That should shut 'em up!

TENOR SAX:
(See Alto Sax) Counter measure, throw down the gauntlet with a dare to render John Coltrane's "Giant Steps".

BARITONE SAX:
A tenor or alto wannabe, this instrument is flaccid and harmless unless played in the style of Stephen "Doc" Kupka (Tower of Power). His sporadic well placed grunting and punctuated style, when discovered by young players, can cause discomfort among the average school director. The only counter measure to this is self medication by the teacher in the form of tequila shots or similar substances.

TRUMPET:
Obviously one would think that a trumpeter's greatest weapon is his ability to play high notes at great volume. This is a misconception that has been perpetuated unwittingly by great performers like Maynard Ferguson and Dizzy Gillespie. The danger is not in the player who can play high. The danger lies in the player who THINKS he can play high. A young player's incessant caterwauling and inflated ego are a danger to himself and all those around him. The best effective counter measure is to allow the player to continue his high note practice (even encourage him to go higher and louder) until his lips explode or he cracks a tooth jamming his face into the mouthpiece.

FRENCH HORN:
French horns thankfully are a danger only to a small group of people, as their bells point in the wrong direction. They are only a danger to those unfortunate enough to have to sit behind them. Their intonation problems and constant cacking of pitches is of great annoyance to those brass players sitting behind them. Though lately the introduction of Plexiglas reflectors has reduced the danger to those behind the horns, unfortunately it presents a greater danger to the players themselves and those in front of them. Upon hearing their actual tones coming back at them, some hornists have been known to actually puke right on stage due to the hideousness of their own tone.

TROMBONE:
A unique application, the instrument itself is not the real danger. The person playing the instrument is what is truly dangerous. The trombone and its player are the original "smart bomb". This weapon is most effective in high tech warfare areas. Insertion of one or more trombonists into a warfare computer center instantly lowers the aggregate I.Q. in the room. The trombonist's incredible stupidity is a lethal bio weapon that spreads at an incredible rate. Within 5 minutes of exposure all computer operators within a 50 foot radius are reduced to drooling idiots incapable of the simplest motor functions and bowel control. Use of trombonists as weapons was outlawed by the Geneva Convention in 1999 after an ugly incident at a Dixieland convention in Sacramento.

Same as above but slighty bigger
BASS TROMBONE:
The perverse effects of this instrument are so foul and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here.

BARITONE/EUPHONIUM:
This is a weapon of mass confusion. Euphonium players are the Rodney Dangerfields of the brass world. Young players especially don't know their place in the band. They double French horns, trombones, saxophones, tubas in octaves, bass clarinets, bassoons...yadda, yadda, yadda! Euphonium orchestral parts are played by the 2nd trombone or worse, the tuba player! For this reason most euphonium.........baritone...(WHATEVER !) players resort to doubling on trombone. This is when they become dangerous. (see trombone).

TUBA:
This is a sonic weapon that when set off can produce sub sonic tones causing a general feeling of uneasiness and queasiness to those within its effective range. Also one may attach a sousaphone to a marching column of soldiers. As all tubists drag, the ever slowing performance of oom-pahs will eventually reduce the marching soldiers to a snail's pace causing them to be late for a battle or not arrive at all. The most effective countermeasure is to feed the tubist with great quantities of beer (imports if you have them). It won't improve his playing but makes him more enjoyable to be around.

SNARE DRUM/TRAP SET:
This weapon affects only a very small demographic: teenage girls and the fathers of these girls with steady jobs and liquid bank accounts. The snare drummer and the jazz/rock variety of set player act almost like a computer worm. The drummer will attach itself to an unsuspecting teenage girl and milk her and her father's finances in such a way as to not be noticed by the father until it is too late. Drummers are the leaches of the music world and can only be countered by being forced to get a real day job. This will reduce the drummer's "coolness" factor and the daughter will immediately lose interest

I miss when i was younger.

Life was simpler back then.

2009-01-11T18:10:00.000+08:00

Long time no post. So i think.

CCA orientation was fun. Played 2 songs in front of all the sec1s and parents. They look so SHOCKED.

So fun to drag the sec1s just to talk to them about the advantages of band. Saw 2 of them hiding in one corner. Went to get reinforcements (huixian and yiheng). They run away, we chase one of them and huixian fall down land on their butt. And after that sec1 guy got on his feet, he ran again -.-"

But it was fun. 53 sec1s signed up. Hopefully 30+ will stay :D

School started too. I swear I hate chicken wings.

My maths teacher [kah WINGS] reprimanded me cuz i drew a graph with a blunt pencil. He started saying I was not putting enuf effort in my work by using a blunt pencil and asked if my parents sharpen them for me (obviously not) in front of the entire class. SO PAI SEH LOR.

Im going to boycott chicken wings for my entire life in Peirce. I dont like to eat chicken wings in the 1st place anyway.

Stupid chicken wing.

2009-01-01T08:58:00.000+08:00

Yeah, this post might be abit late. But who cares?

This is my first post of 2oo9, so obviously this post would lead to this...

HAPPY NEW YEAR :D

Try to decipher that :D
