still yearning for that lil somethin

Dear Bloggie...

Nobody knows where we would end up.

Hello all!
Ok, apologies for not blogging yesterday...
Was completely tired...
Anyway...
Shall briefly talk about yesterday...

Woke up with the same noise as every other day...
Bathed and went to friday prayers...
Went to NAS for band prac...
Mr Yeo came, did warm up...
Went through Singapura Medley...
The basses parts are soooo easy...
The thing about easy pieces is that it's exposed to alot of things...
Tunings especially...
But the thing that worries me the most is that, my juniors can't count...
It's quite sad...
Ah well...

After band, went home.
I have no recollection as to what happend next...

So today...
I woke up at 9+ and realised I was late for band...
So I msg-ed Yihui and asked her what the band was doing...
When I reached, they were having sectionals...
Ms Leong was taking the brass section...
While the rest was sectionaling...

But soon it was time for break...
Went to break with Ms Leong, Melissa and Yihui...
Bought Hotcakes with sausage and "da bao" back to school...
We walked around the band room to find a place to eat, but in the end sat down outside the band room...
It the fastest time for me to eat hotcakes with sausage...
After break, I took the Eupho, Tuba, Trombone and French Horn section...
For the record, it was freaking cold till they had to clear their slides more than 10 times... =X
Condensation..
So I conducted the sectional and concentrated on articulation and accuracy...

French Horn section, particularly brandon, wasn't concentrating much today...
But can see he's trying...
So it's commendable...=]
His juniors are showing alot of promise, doing well...
Eupho... Jaslyn is doing fine even though she thinks she's abit off, maybe just need more confidence and practice...
Trombone, Rebecca needs to work on tone production, too much pressure on the lips which causes constipated sound, slide transitions can be smoother too... Chengheng gets abit forgetful at times but has nice tone...
Tuba, generally all ok, Mab didn't come, so most of the high notes didn't sound nice... And when I said ATTACK, I didn't mean BLAST, which ShengHao did...
During the whole time, there were jokes and there were serious times...
So I guess it's not too bad...

And I sent them back to the band room...
Had abit of combine and Ms Leong talked about the genting trip...
And that the band's attendance is very, VERY bad...
None of my concern, that's the major's job...
So then band was dismissed, looked through the conductor scores...
Kinda sad Cliff can't go NCO camp...
I'd die to go for one...
Oh well...

Went home with Yihui...
Talked about Genting Trip also..
And also how the trombone section would only have Rebecca be the only player...
And how we have alot of players on the soprano end and bass end of the spectrum yet missing the middle alto+tenor parts...
So I guess, the band would be more of an ensemble rather than a band for genting...

And I can't remember what I did when I reached home...
That's all for life blog...
Now is crapping session...

Potency...
What does it mean?
Actually I have no idea...
But from what I heard, it's how much a word weighs...
I mean...
By weigh I don't mean physically in kilograms, but the meaning of the word...
Lets take an example, maybe we have one who swears all the time like nobody's business...
And when it comes to a point where he's really angry, and he swears, it carries no meaning whatsoever, cause it's been used so so so much before...
Compared to one who doesn't swear and suddenly in an angry situation, he lets out a blow of curses...
That carries much more weight...
To be honest, I have no idea why I'm saying this...
But I'm trying to throw out a point that...
By saying something so important so often, takes away the specialness in the word...
Words like "love"...
Some use it like eating rice, ok probably a bad relation, but it gets the point across...
Love is a word to be used at the utmost degree of intimacy, to surrender one's feelings for another...
So people, please remember POTENCY... =]

Ok I'm done here...
It almost seem as though my ex doesn't wanna talk to me...
But I guess we are just so distant that she doesn't care about me anymore...
I'm a friendly person, I wanna be able to talk to everyone openly...
This just makes me feel uncomfortable...
Why the heck am I thinking about all these things...
OK...
I'm done, and I'm goin now...
So...
Good nightz and Sweet dreamz all!
As Laurah would say it, TOODLES! =]

*To jump or not to jump is a matter of wanting to take the risk, if you risk big, you win big...If you pull yourself away from it, you're gonna face it sooner or later...Listen to your true heart...*

Zupz Zupz!
