Dear Bloggie...

Ok then, it's been like a month since I've updated my blog...
And it's been kinda dead for so long...
So I guess it's time to update...
Let's jump in straight into the content shall we...

For the past month, I can only recall doing one major thing....
And that is joining SPband unofficially...
I said unofficially cause I'm not a member yet...
But I've gone for the practices and I'm starting to like it there...
The main reason why I joined the band is because I want to improve on my playing...
After a year of MIA from the band scene, my playing has become very rusty...
And also I miss performing in concerts...
So the first step was going to the band's blog...
Ask around and that's where I met my Eupho senior...
He accepted me into the band and now I'm in the band...
I felt kinda awkward at first, but after some practices, I met new people...
Did I mention what I had to do on the first practice?
There's this thing called "Orientation"...
Where supposedly the new member goes up to the podium and intro himself to everyone...
And also most of the band members grab this opportunity to ask me questions...
Some of the questions were "Who's the most prettiest girl in the band?"...
Which stunned me for a second and forced my brain to think fast....
So I just replied "I find everyone is good looking in their own style..."...
There's other "saboh-ing" questions la, but I shall not mention...
So for now I know most of the Eupho section....
I know two from Saxophone...
And I guess one from Double Bass...
Everyone is like super friendly la...
Oh yar, the conductor RAWKS!
He's like super funny and he really know what he's doing...
A very knowledgable guy, friendly too...
When he conduct, I think everyone can feel the vibe that's going on...
So that's all about my experience in the SPband for now...
I'll be performing for the concert in May...
It'll be the first time for me performing with the band...
If I'm not wrong, we'll be playing Miss Saigon and Highlights from Chess...
If I'm not wrong la....
So that's it for SPband....

Now for NASband...
Last week I went for the band practice where there was combine...
Then the band really got a wake up call from the conductor...
They were recorded and their playing was not as good as I expected...
That was the first time, but after given 30 mins to practice...
The second time was much much better...
I also went for the practice where the sec 1s join in...
My junior said we have two new sec 1s...
But only one turned up as the other one had some school stuff...
So I taught this sec 1 how to buzz..
And as usual like all sec 1s, they starting laughing instead of buzzing...
Well at least it wasn't as bad as my junior when she started out....
She laughed until her whole face turned red...
Anyway, this junior laughed before buzzing...
So I find it quite distracting...
But nonetheless, a junior of my junior is still my junior...
So I just taught the guy how to buzz and hopefully after bringing home the mouthpiece, he could buzz properly...
After the practice was over, I went straight home...

So today I woke up late as usual...
My friend Fairuz got into my school, congratulations...
Now I'm waiting for my another friend to tell me if she got into SP anot...
Hope to see some familiar faces...
And today, I mean, later I'll be going to Singapore Conference Hall...
With NASband to have their rehearsal for SYF...
I hope everything goes well later and I hope they play better than last week...
Oh yar, I'll be getting my results tommorow, so please pray hard for meeee...

I guess that's it then....
Take carez people! And thanks for reading my blog..
Come again soon!

Zupz Zupz!
