Dear Bloggie...

I'm bored.
So bored till I actually thought of blogging.
Usually blogging would be like the last thing in my mind.
But no, not today.
Every other thing is just too boring.
I just don't know what to do anymore.
My whole body is cramped from yesterday's swimming.
And yes, every week i've got to go for swimming lessons.

Yes people. I DO NOT know how to swim.
*covers ears while people yell and boo at me so I won't feel worse than I already am*
You done? Thanks.

It's not that I don't want to learn when I was young.
Ok well, maybe I don't.
Partially cause I'm AFRAID of drowning.
Just AFRAID of DROWNING.
*sigh*
But after these few swimming lessons, I feel it's actually fun, if not, tiring.
My coach told me I can swim already but needed to be stronger.
I'm super thin la can, how can I be stronger when I don't have muscles to begin with.
Anyhoo, the first stroke I'm learning is Breast-stroke.
I read from the net that it's the most tiring stroke compared to the rest.
And it sure was, considering the fact that my legs are killing me now.

So my kicking and snapping *the leg movements* are quite 70% there...
Now I just have to time my breathing and my hands together.
I didn't realise how fun swimming can be.
Maybe it's time I came out of my shell and actually DO something.
Let's now focus our attention from swimming, to something more close to heart.
BAND.
Yes band.
What you expect? Relationship? oh please...*sigh*

So let's see, I went for the band exchange between RI, St Margs, Anglican High, Dunearn and Ngee Ann Sec band at Anglican High.
The band was the last to perform as we reached AHS quite late.
Anyhoo, I only got to hear Dunearn.
They were ok I guess, but one thing I realised from this exchange is that, the set piece never sounds nice.
Ngee Ann band was SUPER nervous which made them unconfident in their playing.
I totally understand what they were going through..
All the gold bands in front of them and they are like the weakest band there.
I'd pee in my pants if I wasn't confident enough.
Coming from a guy who went for SYF twice with two different instruments is really something to take note.
Every SYF is different. No matter how similar the name sounds.
The atmosphere will always be different.
And for those going for SYF for the first time don't really know what to expect.
And I'm not going to bother telling you guys about my experience, if you want to know.
I just hope Ngee Ann band can be consistent like the past SYFs.
If I can, I'll never want to miss the chance to see my juniors perform for SYF.
I'll even skip school to go watch them.
This coming Wednesday Hardy Mertens is coming down!!!!
I miss that guy. I think I've met him afew times before.
First time was in 2003 for my first SYF. He came to correct mistakes since we were playing his piece.
Anyways that was last time, this coming wednesday the band will need all the help they can get.
So that's for Ngee Ann band.

Yesterday I went for this concert at Ulu Pandan CC.
I went with my junior whom I kinda forced to go.
The concert was ok at first but it grew boring near the end.
Me and my junior were like counting down the songs left.
The only interesting thing was watching different conductors conducting the band.
The different styles of strokes and how they express their feelings to the band.
Some were funny while others were very serious.
So I can say I kinda enjoyed the concert.
Met my fren Firdauz there too, he's the guy hu can't tune a timpani.
But he did a great job with the solo at the drums for one of the song.
The concert ended with alot of people shouting for an encore.
But sad thing was, there wasn't any.
So me and my junior left the place immediately.
And that was the end of a very tiring night.

The whole of last week except thursday and today was about band.
I guess I should have joined SPband last year, I regret not joining it last year.
*sigh*
But what's done is done, all I can do now is think before doing something and how it's gonna affect me later on.
So this is Fiqz signing off with a very very very boring day ahead wishing all well and have a great day in school tomorrow! *hee hee* =P

Zupz Zupz!
