Dear Bloggie...

Mulch Diggums...

Hello all! =]
Band today!
Ok...
Let's get down to, urm, business...
*Sorry for the dead entry yesterday*

Woke up at 7am...
I think relocating my bed was not too bad...
I can sleep longer...heh...
But at the expense of not waking up early...
SIANs.
Anyways...
Went to school at 8am...
Walked up the staircase to the 5th level...
And I saw the room...

First impression, CHINESE ORCHESTRA...
WTF? =X
Ok, so went in, room is quite small...
3/4 of the old music room...
But taking in consideration how small the band is, it's alright...
And the storeroom is right beside it, so, it's awesome...
Compared to walking out the room and get to the store room...
Storeroom abit cramped, with Guzheng stuff...
But that's ok also...
The thing is, our instruments are just wayyyyy too many...
I had a hard time squeezing 5 eupho cases into one cupboard...
And God knows how they are gonna keep files and stands...

So then band started...
Won't say much about the beginning cause, well, yar...
I helped Mabeline with her tuba...
Before that, my first valve was stuck...
I had to force like mad to get it loose...
And then to Mabeline with HER first valve...
I unscrewed alot of things, and things just go quite bad...*sorry*
Then luckily she thought of the balloon thing...
So I tried stretching the spring...
And eventually kept pressing down the key...
After awhile, it got better and it's working again...

After fixing Mab's tuba, James asked for help...
His 2nd valve got stuck...
*see kids, when you leave your instruments without oiling them first, they will get stuck*
So I took out the the first and third valve and tried to unscrew the 2nd valve cap...
Took awhile, but managed to get it out...
In the end I don't know why, I oiled all his valves for him...
That was kinda weird for me...
Then I valved all my valves too...
I realised I'm using another 4 valve instrument...
The 4th valve is ok, but the 3rd valve is spinning like mad inside...
Gotta replace that soon...

So during band...
March Blue Sky conducted by Ms Leong...
Well, at least the band finished playing the whole song...
Then break, went to prima deli with Melissa and Yihui...
Bought two buns...
Then walked back to school, explored the school abit...
And went back to the room...
Sight read Three pieces today...
Singapura Medley, Singapore Medley and Singapore Rhapsody...
Personally, I prefer Sg Rhap...
To be more precise, the tuba part...=[
I'm still wondering why Mr Yeo didn't take out TOTS...=[
MY FIRST SYF SET PIECE...='[
Grah...

After band...
Went to Tmart with Sandy and Felicia, walked around, then landed ourselves in 7 eleven...
Sandy gave the idea of eating cup noodles, and I said set.
So bought the cupnoodles and ate it under a void deck...
Felicia was abit weird today, dunno why...=X

Went home, and registered for my NS medical check up...
Initially planned in on 11th December...
But I had no one to go with me...
So I changed it to 23rd December, cause I've got someone to follow me...=]

And I guess that's it for today...=]
I hope Mabeline likes her, erm, belated presents... =X
Although yar, it's belated...sorry!! =X
So...
Take carez everyone!
Be happy always and appreciate the people who support you!
DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU!
Good nightz and Sweet dreamz!

Zupz Zupz!
