Once again more than a week since i blogged.Here's a summary.
I finally passed a maths test.YAY!!!!Let's just hope I can do as well for differntial equations,coz linear interpolation was like...easy.
Failed Bio,but there was something wrong with the marking scheme so Miss Mani isn't going to call,but then....there's always the next bio test,which happens to fall on valentine's day(WHY?)Not that I have anyone to celebrate valentine's day with...must be something wrong with me...sigh...but it spoils the mood no?
CNY is coming up,hope to get lots of money so I can go buy things that I want.But then,not really looking to performing for CNY in that freaking stuffy hall,plus never did like chinese new year songs,too happy.
Watched Troy at the AJC outdoor movie screening yesterday,or at least some of it.Real amazing man,to think that the greeks were soooo bored that they actually want a war just because of one women,who isn't really that special save for her looks...so not worth it...
I'm giving up my dreams of buying selmer paris...instead gonna try for yanagisawa.
Mr Leng say we can't get gold cause we can't even clap together.Not that I think he's wrong...but hey,he just came one month and I see the band improve real quick...to the point that we can actually perform a piece acceptably without breaking down after just a short rehearsal the day before,now that's progress,so I think we can make it if we want to.Gotta get more metronomes ppl,let's practice anytime we have some free time,even in school.Heck those ppl who think we're idiots clapping in school.U want to improve U gotta work for it.I can see the band improving in both unity and musicality.And(not boasting or anything),but if I feel that way,we definitely are improving.Let's bring it on.
Just got SYWO's letter,I'm now officially in,WHOOHOO,International conference?Here I come!Just hope the pieces ain't too difficult cause I haven't heard any of them.
If we are gonna play imagine,I definitely want to play the 1st alto part man....half the song will be my solo.
I think I'm crushing on some1 now....but just wish I really know what I'm feeling.
Haiz...my life is so eventful...yet I hardly feel the thrill when I'm alone.
I need a real friend.

So busy this past two weeks,rushing out all my holiday assignments,some of which are still not done...in addition to the new tutorials to do.Already one of my resolutions is broken,sigh.CCA Carnival also happened...on wed.Considering that this blog is kinda of public,I'm gonna have to give a somewhat politically correct version of the event,we performed quite well,can be better obviously,but compared to past standards,I'll say we have improved.Thanks to the 3 sections that made my life so much easier by performing their ensemble,dun worry fluboes and trombones...I know you can make it for the next one...haha.As much fun as it has been,I'm afraid that some of it wasn't successful at all,again...I know I shldn't post it here and just continue giving the politically correct version,but I figured its time to be honest with myself.Maybe its just me,but during the CCA carnival,I feel like a few members of the exco aint putting the effort they are supposed to put in,no mentioning of names,but I know some ppl know who I'm talking about.Hate to say this,but this seriously has gotten me pissed off,we are constantly preaching about "oh! we're exco,we must have unity","Oh! we are the role models of the band."What I feel now?Those lines are in a word....shit.Whats the point of us constantly repeating those lines if we don't believe in it and start acting on it.To put things in a better perspective,if u're supposed to be doing that job,please do it and not....I repeat not do something totally for ur self interest,like just practising,while I see others slog.Now not saying that I did all the work,I seen alot of ppl put in their effort and more,but there are these few,one or two i shld say,that did practically nothing but sit and play all day.sure they moved some percussion instruments,but we have enough ppl to do that.what we need is some initiative for u to get moving and help out like you're supposed to do.Ok enough of these ppl.
I wonder if I should step down from exco,for one thing I'm so god damn bloody tired trying to hold SL and Librarian post together,its like two tedious jobs rolled into one.For another,my section,unlike the exco,have no internal struggles to speak off,but in the exco,I feel like some ppl just have some PR problems that they need to solve,of course it might be me thats the problem,if it aint,i dun like working with them and shld step down,if it is,the more i shld step down since it means that im affecting the unity of the exco....haiz....really have to think to thru more deeply.
On the very bright side of things,I managed to get 3000 bucks by placing a gamble of my grades with my godfather...he gives the money to me first,but i must get 6As for A lvl...3subs plus GP CLAO and PW.If not I have to pay it all back at the end of the year with interest.Not a bad bargain,but that means i have to mug like hell these nxt few months.I consider it a small price to pay for getting enough dough in so short a time to buy my very own professional alto sax(stuck between Selmer paris Super action 80 series II or series III)Should go check on price first.
Well,I guess that's all for now.Time to get moving on the muggin
