My life... Memories forever
Its been over a month since i last blog and during this period of time, time really flies and it seems only yesterday that my "O" levels ended. I miss the times during the 2004 outdoor period where even though band was tough and goodnessly tiring... we had fun as the band was really united and everyone of us, especially the dragon babies were all crazy and fun. Now its a totally different case where band members don't really look forward to practises and are giving the there's still plenty of time to the competition kinda attitude... for us... if there's no band.. we'll be moaning and groaning that there's nothing to do as we soooooo look forward to practises... where even standing under the hot sun is fun.
The band has like no life now... when the alumni goes back to help... the feeling is soooo different... they are like... on the line sperating the livin and the dead... well ok not that bad but the enthusiasm and joy are not there... instead the alumni is bring joy for the members... They have to learnt o have fun and gossip during sectional but still produce quality sound and technics... hahahz... i thought of the times when the saxophone section gossip for an hour or so before we really start our sectionals.. and in between there were laughters and jokes and people being teased... hahahahahahahz... so fun... then even though we didn't practise much... the spirit and unity of the section brought us to greater heights~
Hearing the sound of charity shrieking away and sheryl talking so loudly... and the rupture of people laughing away... so great a feeling it was...
School started and i have a psycho macroeconomics tutor... hahahaz... he is freaking creapy in a way that the whole class fears he will suddenly draw out a knife during tutorials and point it at us. "Airplane don't wait for people"... yeah~ my Travel and Tour Operations lecturer and tutor is from China, but i seriously think that many epople do not respect her because for her English. She's really a good tutor and lecturer, it's just that you have to understand her english which sometimes can be a little confusing~
I have decided that i am gonna aim for a 3.6 for my GPA this semester... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... it ain't gonna be easy, but then i will make it come true for me as it's no dream. The Changi Youth Ambassador thingy gives me moments of anger and happiness, a new feeling every week due to those passengers who despite being in one of the world's most friendly airport with directional signs here and there. I really like passengers, especially those backpackers and caucasian couples in their golden ages travelling together, these people are the nicest and warmest passengers around~
My CDS although being the easiest CDS in the interdisciplinary and general studies school, has got the suckiest lectures... its so unproductive... the lecturers are just readin and telling us the answers for the blanks in the lecture notes... and because world issues such as global warming, poverty, human, drugs, weapons trafficking and other issues are so in-depth, its impossible to cover them during one hour of lecture. The one hour wasted skimming the surface of these issues can be better spent on tutorial time where we can discuss these issues further~
On the lovely and melodious note of life... i got into the Global Citizenship term vacation CDS, the best thing is that the school is subsidising a third of the total cost and we're going to Shanghai. Although there are 160 people in this CDS, only three places are offered for the 1st years of my course... so am i lucky or what??? Well if you are asking what this CDS is about... then let me explain... during the second week of my two months long vacation, there will be five lectures and tutorials... and a group report on a chosen topic... in this case "Environment" for my group... Then during the third week... we're going to Shanghai for a week and after that a final presentation is done to end the subject. Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalazzz....
The band camp has just ended today with the Passing out Parade... each section put up a skit and it was really entertaining... to see them performing on stage and all those "hey... quick sing with me" or "omg... i am nervouse" actions... hahahz... but i think the percussion one was really nice... for my dearest section which was combined with the french horns... they chose to sing a song titled "graduation"... which i have no idea what they were singing about... and the best part of all is that we the saxophone alumni members got pulled on stage and there i was swaying to the flow of the song... hahahahz~
The band camp was unexpectedly not as tough and demanding as compared to the 2004 band camps... which were really gruelling... the members got it easy this time with cloudy days and rain which practically falls on every day of the camp at around 1pm or so... hahahahz... oh oh oh... we had our third alumni practise and my goodness... my first attempt at the 1st alto sax. score for instand concert was like... running against the wind... hahahaz... my side readin sux man... and this made playing fate of the gods for the first time running against the wind and uphill at the same time... hahahahz... need more practise... really.. if not i will die...~
