Dear Bloggie...

In times of darkness there's light.

Hello all! =]

Sorry for not blogging cause I've been occupying myself with something...

It's Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3!

Finally I've got it and has been hooked since...

Currently playing as allied and should be the last mission against the rising sun...

It's quite cool yet complicated at the same time...

Go figure...

Today...

Dragged myself out of bed at 8am...

Bathed and stuff...

Reached school, band room was empty, but I heard LiangRong's voice...

They were having marching just now...

I just watched from the top as LR and Rebekah commanded the band for marching...

Most of the band members can do everything properly, some just need more training...

So during their break, I went back to the band room...

Saw Shimei, she didn't know where the rest went...

So I told her and she went looking for them...

I went into the band room, set up the eupho and played...

Damn sucky damn damn damn sucky tone...

Airy like fart and inconsistent like mad...

After afew long notes, I sort of was ok...

Need more time on buzzing...

Ok, after the marching, everyone went back to the band room...

Of which they were told to go break from 9.30am to 10am...

I went to mac with Yihui...

Bought sausage mcmuffin...

After break, went back and had sectionals...

From what I could see, all the sections were doing sectionals seriously...

I took the eupho section...

I had no plans on going through songs for today, hence the long warm up...

It is to train them for high notes which after the warm up, most can reach without much resistance...

James and Terrence have a habit of not following tempo...

They prefer following their own tempo which is wrong...

But Jaslyn is trying to follow the tempo closely...

We got the tuner/metronome and did some tuning too...

When sectionals was over...

I kept my eupho...

I really thought that LR or Rebekah would be like, talking to the band for the next half hour...

But LR asked me to conduct the band for Singapura Medley...

So I conducted Singapura Medley...

I pointed out some major points to take note...

And that was it...

After band, went home and went to bed for an hour before coming online...

Talked on MSN for awhile, and played my C&C after that...

So I've been gaming since then...

Told myself to stop cause I feel kinda tired now...

Morning jog tomorrow!

Can't wait for that...

So the band is showing some kind of maturity somehow...

I just hope the standard can keep on improving on and on...

Maybe the band really took it seriously to what Mr Yeo said on Wednesday...

But if everytime we need Mr Yeo to say such things for us to be serious...

And maybe the seriousness is just temporary, after afew more practice will revert back to the old attitude...

I'm hoping the band continues with the serious practice to improve fast...

They can do it, but it takes alot of discipline, self-discipline...

To be honest, it's good to finally see the band wanting to improve...

A slow start usually leads to an exponential increase...

Godspeed NASband...

So I'm done blogging...

Most probably will blog again tomorrow, I think...

Need to prepare for school already, tests and projects and stuff like that...

So...

Take carez everyone!

Good nightz and Sweet dreamz!

*Lowering expectations to meet higher improvements*

Zupz Zupz!
