Event: Christmas eve

haha. okay I know that this was supposed to be a really really long post. But then again, I still havent got the pictures from class cip, fiesta and flute chalet. haha. Nvm, once i get them, i shall post it up here okay! haha. so it will be 3 posts following this post. hahaha. I shall touch the 3 briefly here. okay, so here are the random events that have been happening over the past few weeks. I think they are written in chronological order. haha, think only. Anyhow, I got back from flute chalet yesterday afternoon. and guess what, i slept from like 2pm/3pm yesterday all the way until this morning at about 7am. And the current time is like 9.43am. haha, woa. like first time, slept for more than 12 hours straight. haha. So here goes. an extremely word-y post once again. Again, if you're like super free and have nothing to do, go on reading. haha. shall work on chem bonding once i finish this post. Gosh, its been long since i've done any work.

Okay, before i start, the above picture was one of the tub of chocolate-koko krunch balls that meiyee made for me during my birthday. SHES A GREAT COOK. haha. Meiyee, if you do ever pop by. haha. thanks so much for the chocoballs. (haha, she gave me this during my birthday and its like posted up after many months. so so sorry ahh.) anyhow, thanks for being such an awesome friend.(:. you rock man. haha.

Okay, now the events!

Event 1: BRINGING S AND N for a random outing.

haha. After many talks with mum, i've come to realize that s will only feel the love from her dear bro in a materialistic way. or well, like bringing her out/giving her gifts and stuff. That day, i remembered that mum, dad and D went out for a dinner invited by some guy(they've had abalone and stuff. (graons)). haha. but nvm, so, at home, left me, s and n. haha. So, i've decided to bring them out. haha. I was suggesting bugis, but in the end at tanah merah, they said that they wanted to go to the airport. So yup. brought them to the airport. hahaha. s havent have had her dinner yet. haha. So, using my xin xin kuku na lai de birthday money, Decided to treat them at airport's sakae sushi. At first, they thought that i was joking. and when i really brought them in, they were giving the O.O expression. haha. Sharol ordered a bowl of tepenyaki thingy, natasha had some sushi, and i just drank green tea. S was like "woa, finally after 15 years". haha. Im like $!$^&*(*%@. But nvm la.haha. it just feels great making the ones that you love feel happy.(:. haha. anyhow, they didnt dare order much cos they were scared that i couldnt afford. haha. but nvm laa. good in a sense. Brought them around the airport to walk thereafter, hahaha. Walked around the terminals, and took the skytrain. haha. But before we left for the sky train. I tried to make them do some evil look staring at the dangerous items things on display, but failed. haha.

^ Failed attempt at looking dangerous

haha, thereafter, we went mad taking the skytrain. hahaha. Took random photos with my phone. haha. But we went crazy over the "please hold on to the handrails, we are now leaving for terminal 2". Then for the first time, by chance, all 3 of us gave the O.O expression, holding on to handrails. hahaha. Then we laughed, cos apparently, the whole train was quiet. so it was kindda paiseh la. haha. but nvm, we went mad.

Thereafter, when we reached the other terminals, we were walking around. Window shopping. haha. They did some drawing thing at terminal 3. haha. And also, I bought them chocolates from some dont know what high class chocolate shop la. hahaha. But for the first time, I actually splurged my money on my sisters, though it was sad like, parting away with my money, but it actually felt kindda good. haha. Also, we went into some shop, and i bought D, a "my melody" pouch, haha, cos she's going crazy over the cartoon lately. haha. again, we 3 did stupid stuff all around the terminals. Another one, would be at the T1 escalator, when s was heading north, me and N suddenly turned to the escalator and headed down to "evade". haha, but yeah la, almost succeeded. but failed. hahaha. S took a photo of herself below at the escalators.

There. hahaha. anyhow, yupyup, gonna bring them out today again as their bday presents. haha. N's bday is on christmas and S's bday's 5 days back. haha. So, yeah, am sure we're gonna have fun again today. haha, oh, and i've noted one thing. Its been really long since we quarrelled over little things man. Great that everyone's growing up. haha. Wonder where to bring them too later. Thinking of IMM, jurong east for shopping. Wanted swimming but weather doesnt look too good. haha. Maybe ice skating? But that's so copy cat-ing my bday's idea. haha. Nvm see how. But Im sure its eighteen chefs for dinner tonight.(:. hahaha. yeah, am sure today's gonna be a fun day. hahaha. (oh man, lately's so much about fun, I've gotta start on my hol hmk soon man. not like i havent started, but still alot not done. Like econs and gp. =x) haha.

Event 2: Going orchard to view the christmas lights

Okay, for this event, i've got nothing much to type about, except that the lights this year seems kindda bare, not like the usual lights. haha. But then, just walked around orchard road. haha.

^ S, D and me.

^ N and Me

haha, apparently N wasnt feeling too good that day. Took this photo to cheer her up. hahaha.

^S, mum and me(:

^ haha, see what i mean. haha.

There're other decos too laa, but the deco theme this year was like candies and stuff? So unless you people like, doughnuts, candies, sugars and all that stuff, yeah, hahaha, go somewhere else to celeb christmas. haha.

Event 3: S and N's bday celebration at Nai's house.

haha. That day at Nai's house, Kooma was there. hahaha. No laa, but lately she's always not at home. hahaha. Btw, kooma and nai live next to each other. Celebrated sharol's and N's bday there that day. haha.

There you go. hahah. But anyhow, that day, it was so fun. Kooma's there, and so was ah xiang jie, ah chun kor and nai. haha. Everyone was having so much fun. haha. we were playing all the black magic, "your hand is bigger than your face you got cancer", all that nonsense stuff laa. haha. Had a really good time laughing. hahaha.

Event 3: Lifesaving

haha, Am at AM(award of merit) this time round. haha. Feeling fine. haha. But the events are much tougher this time round. =/. Like swimming 75m towing 75m by the time of 5 mins. haha. But lucky for me, ive been passing my timing so far. haha. Also, old man(the instructor) this time round's so much better, in a sense that he's finally treating everyone there like adults. haha. Feeling okay. With mr mok there to help as well. haha. Remembered all my CPR, towing, struggling and stuff. haha. Test's on first jan. haha. but looking forth in a way. haha, feeling nervous. haha. But then, am feeling okay. Also, for the level of AM, there're like only 2 ppl this time round. (?!) But the good thing is, the other guy at least opened up. haha. So, yeah, its good. haha. Also, the sunday class people are all in BM this time round (Bronze medallion). haha. so, at least, sometimes talk to them la. One of the quieter guys in that class, also in BM, added me on MSN. surpirsingly, he can talk a whole lot online. But it feels weird, talking to him, Weird as in, he's weird kindda weird. But nvm la. haha. Anyhow, i've still yet to study all the emergency care treatment and stuff. Better study it soon, by the 28th/29th ive gotta be sure of everything. haha. with a timespan of 5 days. Im sure its enough la. haha. Thats if i can get the motivation to study and memorize all the treatments and stuff.

Event 3: Band camp, fiesta bonanza

Band camp day 1. haha. I remembered arriving in the band room early that day. Then, i think we practiced the most that day. Had a lot of fun practicing the songs that time. But i did remembered panicking over the danza solo. haha. also, i think i forgot to mention that there were 2 sec 4 flautists who came this time round, -zhining and oliver. haha. Am really HAPPY and PROUD to get such juniors and im HAPPY and PROUD of being in the flute section. haha., with xy, and c, and now with zn and o. haha. Everyone like totally rocks. haha. Anyhow, yeah, talked also, but practiced alot of the first day. There were games in the evening, and i remembered too screaming a hell lot at the grossness of everything. but then again, Stress reliver la. haha. Like, throwing a dead chickens body at the basket ball court (?!), haha, and having to get a bread with your face being thrown down, and also, crawling through chairs, with food and everything being thrown as you crawl, getting an egg across with a spoon, and you cant drop it, and WHILIST ALL THIS HAPPENING, you have the game ICs smearing/splashing all the gross food on your back, your hair, and everywhere la.(dont get me wrong) but, haha, yeah. Also, there was this game wher eyou had to retrieve eggs with your mouth, But the eggs were in this gross potion solution thingy, with flour and sesame seeds and ladys finger and cucumber and dont konw what. But i tasted floor i think. haha. Good stress reliever. When night arrived, i remembered i was feeling down, but i forgot the reason. But anyhow, that night, i remmebered i was talking to BH alone at the stage area ranting, and she was ranting too la. We were alone, at the stage, ranting. But im sure that invited scandals. but its k la, i guess. Its not true anyhow. haha.Went back to the bunk, and chatted to CY about stuff. haha. Had a really awesome time talking to him. yeah, and his knowledge just astounds me. haha. The second day, we just had morning prac. haha. Afternoon we slacked all the way. There was suposed to be bbq. But all i had was some rice and bee hoon. Hardcore basketballing that day. First, abc with the guys i think. haha. Jason, chin kiat, K, and all of them. haha got to know new juniors, thereafter, basketball-ed with Shuhadah and A. haha. Total= 4 hours of basketball. haha. the rest of the band were playing cards. haha. Anyhow, haha, had a lot of fun/stress out playing basketball, but alos blisters all over my feet. We 3 decided to sleep outdoors that night, at the assembly area. MAN, are the stars nice. haha.

Heres a view of the night sky taken by my 2 pix phone cam. haha, apparently, its not clear la. haha. Talked again at the outdoors, hahaha, irritated S by recording her voice and repeatedly play backing it. hahaha. Then, just when we were all about to sleep, rain started patting down. ITs damn #$%^&*( drama. haah. its like 1 drop, 2 drop. PRING PRONG PIANGG! ended up sleeping at the stage. haha. 3rd day of band camp, just played in the morning, clear up and went home.

Concert day finally arrived. hahaha. before i begin anything, haha, here are 3 pics goked out from everyone. haha. Again, I owe you guys a post about this. haha.

^ Snowball and me. haha.(:

^Oliver and me(:

^ Me, KR, sam and MY.

based on that day, okay i shall blog about it laa anyhow. At first, when the day started in the afternoon, Im like, Oh no, my tone's horrible, so are my articulations and everything, cos the hall's really reallyr eally cold. and i couldnt feel much support and everything. Also, i didnt had lunch that day cos i thought that there was gonna be a lunch session. But i missed out on that cos i didnt come the previous day. squeezed bread from the sandwich machine into my mouth and that machine swallowed me 2 bucks @%^&*(). haha. anyhow, yeah was feeling tired and everything. BH said that she needed to go out to play abit halfway in rehearsal in audi. Cos she said that she was losing her support. So, again, went out, warmed up warmed up abit, before going in again. hahaha. Rehearsed a bit more, but after going out to warm myself up, playing became okay okay again. haha. Then concert started.

When beautiful oregon started by the brasses Im like. "yes. good." haha, cos i remembered fiesta 07 didnt start out well. haha. During oregon, i felt that it was damn long. haha. But then, it was k i guess. But at the 7/4 part, lin sheng suddenly switched to conducing for the brasses. the whole woodwinds got lost. And im like oh no. But then we caught up again la. haha. So apparently, its like that. But then, screwed up some parts, did okay in some parts. but the song was okay i guess. Then danza came, at the start of the song, i remembered feeling uber uber uber nervous. haha. Then, managed to calm myself down. I remembered some of the high parts i screwed up la. but other than that, the song turned out okay okay for me. I know that my solo wasnt in unison with hasia. so HASIA, WE ARE GOING TO PLAY ANOTHER BASSOON-FLUTE part some time okay!. Anyhow, but i remembered when the solo was nearing. My vision spinned abit. it was like left right left right. Felt my heartbeat like DOONG DOONG. DOOONG DOONG. haha. But when the solo started, im like, yeah, dont be scared. then xy was like last time, last chance, last time, last chance. I was like, yes, do it well. Followed lin sheng. haha. And i guess it turned out all right. haha. AND I MANAGED TO HOLD MY BREATH FOR THE LAST ONE/SOLO, THAT LAST NOTE G. hahaha. YAYYYYYYYYY.(((:> But heard from kj that my first solo, that last g didnt managed to hold full length. Knew that it was breath. But then i knew that if i continued holding that G, im very sure that it will turn out awkward. haha. But yeah, i guess in a way, i should be proud of myself. Cos, I guess, this is the first solo, that i enjoyed myself, hearing my sound, reverb through the audi, with the band backing me up. haha. Yup. haha. Celebrate turned out fine in a way. haha. I loved the duet btw the flute and clar. haha. YAY. I DIDNT GLITCH AT THE A FLAT. haha. Cumbancero was fine. just that the surpirse for miss chew's like #$%^&*(, in a way that, when the birthday surpirse was there, miss chew wasnt there. haha. Yup, during the interval. Went to see people. haha. Took a photos. haha. thanks christine toshikas afor coming. haha(:. hahaha. and also, MY, KR and sam. haha. and also ELLIOT/LIOTTY. omg, i do miss fiesta 07 in a way)):. haha. Heard the alumni band perform, loads of christmas songs. haha. All i knew that there was only 1 flute during alumni band/jazz band. Could hear that kj was trying to project, but the brasses were playing loudly too. haha. But other than that, it was k. haha. Joyful exclamations, school song and masked man after that. haha. XY, your joyful solo's really nice. haha. really really, is can cry one. haha, but lin sheng was somewhere in the audience i guess. haha. Dont worry we still have one more prelude/syf to go(:. haha. encore was ... haha. but nvm laa. haha. Overall it was a wonderful concert..

ALL the way until i heard SP band at VCH. thanks sp band, gave me a great big wake up call. I thought that TJ band at fiesta was not bad. Until i heard you guys. Omg, then i thought we were kindda like pathetic compared to you all. thanks liot. haha you sounded awesome too man. hahaha. And that band got me addicted to barne's third symphony. hahaha. And also, im just like wow. Its like all the trumpeters are kwangyi's, there're like 15 nick chews on the horn. There're like 4 jonathan's on the bass. and like as though there're lots of xy on the flute. and omg, the clarinet section there was awesome. The double duet piece on clarinet backed up by mini wind band was. O.O. its been realy really really long, since i heard such awesome clarinet playing. Looks like our band have to work alot harder. When with Dion for that concert. Saw, G, N and K there too. haha. but still, yeah, it was a worth it concert. that 12 dollars spent is what i call, worth.

haha, omg, im feeling damn tired to go on blogging already. haha. For flute chalet, i shall blog about it when i upload the pictures. haha. Gonna upload pictures for bonanza soon i guess.

haha, will blog about CIP and flute chalet in the next 2 posts.

Oh ya, and ive come to realize how much time this year that ive wasted, doing stupid stuff. Its gonna be a much more time managed year in 09. Im sure. Okay, breakfast, chem bonding, and bringing S and N out. haha.

P.S. LH, i still owe you 16.70 and HQ, 5 bucks.

P.S.S. kj, thanks so much for all the tracks.haha.

Will update soon.

Give me the courage, to tell you anything.

Yeah, i think im loserish, but i guess, this is the first time.

and i guess in a way, i've got to learn too.

or else, Im sure that im going to remain single all my life.

Is not like as though we are really reallly really really close,

but i feel that at least, we're close.

Do i still stand a chance?

I hope i do. or as _ said,

If she doesnt like you back, at least you will know and move on.

But, just give me the courage, to tell first. and lets see how it'll turn out.
