HI(:
Thursday, October 28, 2010


Jenny has asked me to help post this for her (from her blog):
tues:

sec 1s were still a little bit confused about what to do for setting up :/ none of us dared to move the percussion instruments so we went for stands and chairs. but there's also a limit to the number of stands we need and the chairs are most of the time alr in the ks chee. we can also arrange the chairs and stands but we don't know how many chairs and stands there are in each row etc etc :x

screwed up at sectional warm-ups x.x i need to work on tonguing and need to be more familiar with the exercises and B major scale! AND STAMINA SHEESH I REALLY NEED TO WORK ON THAT X.X i have the weakest stamina among my sbms T.T

was called away by mr oura with joyce to practice on our embouchure (i also have the worst embouchure among my sbms T.T) mr oura is a nice person and a good teacher(:

then went back to ks chee to join main band! daily warm-ups were once again horrible but at least i improved(:

then worked on the bells of sagrada familia! our syf piece for next yr(: first time playing it (just received the scores that day so i was desperately sight-reading O: )and me and sarah were the only 2nd clarinets that day (heehee i like playing with sarah(: ) so we newbies were all alone D: and it was scary when he told the 2nd clarinets and some other instrus to play a part and the 2nd clarinets were playing the melody D:

but it was funn(: sagrada familia is really nice^^ heehee love part A even though my high notes were hard to reach ): zomg the demisemiquavers were really o.O how does someone get all the fingerings in such a short amount of time? O: haha just as mr goh told us to, i just made sure i played the first and the last note and even if the middle is screwed it will still sound quite ok(: but of course i still need to practice and make it as perfect as possible...sounds so much nicer(:

and kylie was instructed by mr oura to play the piano part! haha so cool(: but i think i will freak if he chose me. coz i will be the only one playing the piano and i'll feel very self-conscious and STRESS and it will affect my..er...actions? haha xD go kylie!

after setting down the bandemoniums sat together and me and sarah played stress! :D she almost won me but luckily just at that moment the commanders took dismissal. so she didn't win me! :DD

wed:

sectionals because there was no instructor prac! i think it was really really productive(: the sec 1s broke up and our directs went through london bridge with us one-to-one. got ying qin and i think i annoyed her by keep on making mistakes and getting the rhythm wrong D: sorry ying qin! grah my sense of rhythm is really lousy ): and tonguing too. and sometimes when yq points out something i do make an effort to correct my mistakes but sometimes oops! i forgot d: mental note to self to always bring pencil to band.

finally played london bridge completely and learnt a lot of new things to help with my playing of london bridge(: afterwards worked on sagrada familia and felt more productive because i kept practicing haha xD

finally know what the sec 1s are going to do for inunion (19 nov) alr! :D 1)on my own 2)parade of the wooden soldiers 3) stand by me 4)london bridge (with main band) 5)song chosen by hui jun 6)song (batch item, other batches will have other items as well) 7)speech

yupp that's all i think though the order might be wrong. heehee excited(:

thurs:

setting up was better yay! :D sectionals were better too! today i suddenly had a lot of stamina O: but i still need to work on the high notes they are really screechy and blasty and have undertones d: and articulation rawr my tongue is so inactive d:

improved in daily warm-ups again(: heeheee(:

also worked on sagrada again(: the first time we played we played the whole piece from top to bottom! :D haha so cool but the end was really messy ._. got lost at the triplets part ._. aft that we worked from the energico part to part i? or h? or j? heehee me like(: the fingerings are especially tricky but it's funn when you learn how to play them very fast haha xD

haha mr oura took out a vuvuzela to demonstrate how we should articulate for the energico part xDD (i think he forgot to take it back ._.)

aiyo today so accident-prone. keep on dropping pencils, tuners, scores with sarah -_-

aft setting down the sec 1s played flop!, this super lame game invented by the super lame devni xD

haha it's sad that now we have to go home so late but at least band makes me happy so i won't go home a depressed person xD

lala jiayou in main band everyone(:

Sorry for not posting for such a long time! :X And well, er, yeah that's all I guess!! And yes I didn't go for band today due to OM auditions ): Okyeah that's all so 'k bye!

xinying~

p.s. yes I know I posting very little. Sorry!

Hiiiiiiiiiiii everyoneeeeeeeeee :D

Main band is kinda fun >< Well, sectionals was cool :)

Anyway, about Inunion, my first thought was that by "song" they meant the ones that we're playing. i.e. Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, On My Own and Stand By Me. But I guess not?

So anyway, song suggestionssssS??? And we can combine what people can play, if it's non-band instruments. Like piano, guitar, violin etc. And some people can sing! We need to have a discussion about this!!! :)

By the way, some of you owe me $5 for dinner at the batch party!! Heh I shall chase you down individually la I guess ><

Okay so that's all I have. Bye!!

i shall finally blog about the sec 1's first main band session this tues(:

firstly, setting up. the sec 1s were all very confused about what to carry to the ks chee and what to do with their instrus :/ me and my sbms were wondering if we should place our clarinets on our files or squeeze it onto the mat that our seniors used....

in the end, all the sec 1s took stands/chairs because none of us knew how to move the percussion (or if we're allowed to for that matter .__. i shall ask next week :x)

section warm-ups! the clarinets took the area near the raffles room. zomg i really need to work on stamina T.T

daily warm-ups with the main band was x.x the semiquavers were the worst. couldn't follow xP and i was running out of breath again.

worked on buzz, buzz, buzz and london bridge. buzz buzz buzz was still ok, manageable. london bridge was ALMOST manageable except i played wrong notes now and then and played off beat :X

my shoulders were sore from sitting up straight for 2+h. my butt was sore for sitting 1/3 of the chair. my thumb was sore from putting the weight of my clarinet on it :x

at 6.30pm, main band session ended.

hehe ytd we were supposed to change our instrus for newer ones but i chose to stick with boctopus(:

Suggestions?

Choices for song-playing:

Voice + Piano

Umm. that's all.

batch chalet! :D
Tuesday, October 19, 2010


hey guys i'm going to post about batch chalet which was last thurs! copied from my blog(:

Heehee sarah’s parents booked a chalet yesterday for her relatives who were coming to Singapore to visit. But her relatives were only reaching Singapore at 3am in the morning so sarah’s parents told sarah to invite her friends over frm 2pm-9pm as the chalet was empty during that period(: so sarah invited the whole batch xiii!! (we have finally decided on a batch name! :D BANDEMONIUM so cool BD thanks to sarah for coming up with that(: ) THANKS A LOT SARAH! :D

The chalet was at changi safra so at around 1.50pm I reached tanah merah (nearest mrt station) to wait for other ppl so that we can take cab. Apparently xin ying, jia min, thengyi and clara got lost and was at bedok interchange .__. So I waited for eng yin and we took a cab there for $6 (the driver gave us discount! :D)

CHANGI SAFRA IS VERY BEAUTIFUL! :DDD it had so many nice chalets, playgrounds, a bowling alley, karoke place?. Basketball court, tennis court etc etc. heehee we went bowling first with sarah, joyce, chi wen, hwi soo, eng yin, kylie while we waited for the others to come(: only at the bowling alley did I realize I went there before ._. for natalie’s bday party last yr (or was it last last yr?...) anyways at that time I sucked at bowling and this time…I still sucked at bowling! Hahaha so crappy xDD

While we were playing si hui came! :D haha she needed some persuasion to come here because apparently it was too far and dangerous for her since it was located near change prison O: hui ru also came(: then xin ying, clara, jia min and thengyi came after a 2km walk frm bedok interchange -___-

Anyways altogether there were 6 bowling games I think(: JOYCE AND SARAH VERY PRO O: after that we headed to chalet (number 13!) and we took pictures(: after that xin ying and jia min shooed us out of the chalet so that they could set up the treasure hunt they have prepared. So 11 of us went to the playground. Some of us (incl me(: ) hid underneath somewhere and played cheat (our gambling den haha xD) After a while we went back but xin ying and jia min were still not done -.- so we went outside near the chalet and attempted to climb a tree .___. FINALLY they called us back! :D

But after a while eng yin, hwi soo and chi wen left because they had to catch the 5.15 shuttle bus back to tanah merah mrt. Sigh so sad ):

So they explained to us the rule of the games. There were some taboo words that we weren’t supposed to say throughout the entire day and once we utter any of the taboo words we will receive one sticker. At the end of the day, the person with the most stickers will have to do a forfeit. But that turned out really fail because nobody really cared and even though a lot of ppl said the taboo words they weren’t noticed. And some ppl like sarah purposely went to say the taboo words so she could get more stickers. There wasn’t a forfeit at all ._.

The treasure hunt was fun! We split up into pairs and were given an envelope each which holds a clue to where the next envelope is hidden. Even though the clues were kind of mixed up and the CLUES WERE SO HARD ZOMG D: in the end my pair (sarah and i) and si hui’s pair (si hui and kylie) found the treasure! It was a box of sweets. Haha actually a lot of pairs had alr found the box but they didn’t know it was the treasure xD

After treasure hunt we went to the basketball court to play basketball/captain’s ball! Haha zomg it was super racist ok! D: the WHITES against the COLOURED (referring to the colour of the clothes we were wearing ._.) the whites were: sarah, kylie, huiru, xin ying, jia min and the coloured were: me, thengyi, joyce, si hui, clara. Both teams were very pro(:

Then we were tired so we sat down and blew the balloons that xin ying and jia min brought for some balloon games (except that we didn’t really play those balloon games ._.) JIA MIN BURSTED 3 BALLOONS O:O:O: I was teaching si hui how to blow a balloon and she improved! :D while I was teaching her the others used their balloons to play parade of the wooden soldiers xD they created sounds using the balloons and played their parts. It was damn weird but cool! ROFL BD

After si hui finally got a nice sized balloon we took a video of us (except for jia min because she burst too many balloons alr xD) holding up a balloon each and at the count of 3 we all let go of the balloon. We thought the balloons will all fly up but those balloons had a mind of their own and flew everywhere D: haha but it was funn(: si hui left soon after that ):

Then we went back to chalet and had our dinner! (chicken rice that sarah’s mom bought for us(: and cup noodles for hui ru(: )we sat in a circle on the floor and ate and drank ice apple tea and coke and played truth or dare! :D haha I shall keep the questions and answers PRIVATE AND CONDIFENTIAL :X

After dinner we played splatt! It was quite fun but my reaction is really slow d: after splatt! we played polar bear while passing a big packet of chips around :3 polar bear is like murderer but so much so much funner! I like being the narrator because you get to know who’s the polar bear, hunter and doctor and see what epic things happen (Y)

Then I watched while the rest of them played murderer (not in the mood :/) haha murderer is confusing coz sometimes the murderer winks at a person gazillion times but the person doesn’t notice xDD

Jia min and thengyi left together ): the rest of us played with the leftover balloons (haha so immature but fun(: )while we waited to be fetched. At about 9 I think we left the chalet to send hui ru and clara off while me and xin ying went to sarah’s house for sleepover! :D


i'm not going to post the sleepover part here because it's irrelevant to band but you can go my blog to read it! :D hehe.

will post about today soon!~ byes for now! :D
