MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! =D
lately been going out around with things related to band. haha. still cant keep away from band despite the 2weeks break the school gave. there's a band exchange at coral secondary two days later for the whole day. and congrats to the clarinet section who will die a horrible death. haha. probably we'll try practicing the ensemble piece together tmr and see the outcome. i suddenly felt like laughing. ever since after the japan trip everybody seems to have seen each other's other self and thus attitudes changed. sigh. i can only try to keep myself simple and stay out of as much conflicts as i can.
on 19dec we went for band practice at sws band room. daph, daoying, jill, miao, ying & me went to sws tgt and sat there to wait for the others. daph, ying & me decided to have some breakfast so we ate beancurd. haha. the practice was mainly practicing Animation Medley, clarinet ensemble & percussion ensemble. after that we went to have lunch-cum-dinner with mr tan opposite. the meal was 1 1/2 chicken, individual plates of rice, big bowls of laksa, and otahs. miao ate fish beehoon instead coz she was hungry. haha. after the meal we talked and chatted till the sky turned dark so mr tan send us home except for ying&me who took the mrt home coz we stayed further away from amk. haha. mr tan is nice! (:
on 20dec i went to the temple to pray with my family. then we had mixed rice for lunch before separating to go different places. my parents and i went shopping around toa payoh streets. and i finally managed to buy a watch. haha. it's baby G but kinda like an outdated model. but i like it! (coz it's cheap too) after that my parents decided to buy a new lcd television. the tv is coming in this saturday. sigh. byebye big old tv...
on 21dec daph, ying&me had a band practice with huayi band. we met at the coffee-shop opposite the school early in the morning and mr tan drove us there. we felt awkward when we were there but the awkwardness fade off after sitting in. haha. we played pieces like Birdland, Singapura Suite, Postcard, Concert March: Take Off II, Animation Medley and more. the last piece played was Omisoka. omg that song was left untouched like donkey years ago. haha. after that we practiced a while more with some huayi players while mr tan read his newpapers. oops... :O
he then drove to a nearby place to have lunch. he ate kway chap while we ate wanton noodles, prawn noodles & minced meat noodles. next we went to courts @ tampines. he bought a cabinet while we bought cotton candy. haha. after that mr tan dropped us at amk hub and we went to the arcade after seeing there's not really any movies to catch. hahaha. arcade was fun but japan's arcades are much cheaper and better. before we left we bought a spicy tuna salad shake for mr tan.
after that mr tan fetched us to Dazhong primary school to watch their brass band performance. we lost our way and ended up being late. but the thing is that we only missed one song despite being late for 30mins. haha. they played a few songs that we played but it sounded weird coz there's no woodwind. haha. songs like Hitomi Wotoshite, Spirited Away and more. oh yah they have these 3 percussionists who plays one marimba. haha. they keep posing for photo shots and do weird stuffs. haha.
we left before everybody did and mr tan drove us around for supper. we wanted to eat the famous bak ku teh at balastier road but ended up eating mixed rice. haha. coz it's too long a queue for us to wait. haha. supper was super nice! yummy...
mr tan then drove us home starting from ying, me then daph. haha. i was blur and ended up making him drive the same route twice. same thing happened to ying too. haha. he practically paid for all our meals for the day and drove us everywhere. arigatou!!!
he's really a superbly nice teacher. EHH wrong.
he's a super duper nice daddy! =D
remarkable results!
