Com tool kit is finally declared OVER!!! hooray!!!....
was late for school once again so i had to walk faster to get to the classroom in my formal clothes. I looked kinda weird because i'm th eonly person wearing formal clothes and other poly students were in casual outfit. My group was the lucky number 1 to start the ball rolling. My presentation was kinda shaky because i just did my part at the very very last min which is yesterday night from 12am till 3am.. In the end i gotta 17.5/30 which means i pass this module !!!! a D-grade ...
After lesson, i went to meet up with gilbert, jia qing, dionna and vincent for ngee ann open house. Brought them around ngee ann... We went to LSCT blk (life science and chemical technology) and peek a poo. Gotta a chance to find out what blood group am i in. I'm O+ which is quite a common blood group. After going some other places and they had gone back, now it's vivian and boon jeow turn.... brought them bring to the same old place and vivian blood group was O+ too... haha... Everyone is involved in the open house... CCA groups, course leader, student helpers and many more... Ngee Ann put in lots of money for this open house..
After that we went for NPCB (ngee ann concert band) practice. Today practice was a leisure one because most of the band members were very tired after the open house. The feeling of NPCB was much better as compared to the last time when we intend to join. Played my eupho with 4th valve... my lips hurts alot because of the mouth piece that i was exposed. It was a totally different type of mouth piece as compared to the type of mouth piece that i had used for the past few years. Need so adaptation... having 4th valve means the instrument is much heavier and it doesn't have a grip so it's kinda painful in the begining... It hurts even more when i played high notes. Had some self-intro here and there. The people there were friendly or maybe in fact very friendly. Being a bit of a introvert, i kept my mouth closed but i had to open although it feels weird. That's me when i meet new people in new environment. When band ended, we followed them to KAP to eat dinner together.
After mac, we went home with kenneth ( a year 1 trombonist) who stayed at hougang green area. Had a chat over the stuff of NPCB and got to know that this coming july, there is a competition for all polys, community centre and tertiery institutions. It's called NBC ( national band competition). He gave me this webby, www.sgband.fusion.com . All along, there wasn't any competition for poly bands or now for the first time such event is happening, it is a good chance to see the standards of different poly and cc bands. Competition against CC bands also means that PPCCB is also involved and we cannot play for two different band hence we need to make a decision. There were other CC bands like west wind and kim seng which were quite established. Poly band like SP NP NYP and unis' like NTU and NUS.... Hence most probably the choice piece is grade 5-6... I also got to know that this year we may be going CHINA for oversea performance... oh man.. CHIN-NA !!! oh nice will it be if it is JAPAN... next prac is next thurs.
Tml gonna work at peony jade from 6-11 with a pay of $10.50 per hour... cool man.. $52.50... enough money for my bus concession. Next week gonna be a very taxing week because practicall most of my week days are fully occupied... Mon night french, Tue night, squash, Wed maths test plus french test in the night, Thurs night NPCB, fri tentatively free... zzzzzz.... can't it get any better?? i had decided not to have my EP (enhancement programme) next semster...
