Sugar

Oh no i think something's gonna happen to me..

I've been eating so much sugar these days..

Just today, i've already eaten:

2 strawberry icecream sticks (poolside)
3 packts of the nice raspberry and blueberry cookies (poolside)
1 stick of magnum classic (from home)
1/2 a cup of strawberry icecream (from home)

and i think my home weighing scale is screwed.. it has been showing me the same thing for the past few weeks, when i obviously have been stuffing myself with food.

i hope the energy converted from the sugar goes into the making of more brain cells =D

SYF 09

I was actually really relaxed after our turn because i was extremely tired, and i thought i could already predict the results - Gold. Frankly, based on our performance, i didn't think it was a GWH standard. So when we sat down to listen to the last band, when everybody around me was panicking and was really nervous, i just closed my eyes and tried to enjoy the peace that came after what i've been working for for the past year paid off. I wasn't nervous - Yuhua would get GWH, and us, Gold. It had to go this way.


And then in came the lady who would announce to the hall the results. After thanking moe for organising this event, singapore conference hall for the providing of the competition venue, yamaha for the loan of percussion instruments and her momma for all love she has given her, came the results.

Her: Yuhua, GOLD
Me: no way man. What would we get now? SILVER??

At this moment Bojun stared at me - i completely understood what he meant.

I wasn't even trying to rationalise the situation. what my whole body was craving for, at that point, was our results. After what seemed like the time my grandmother would take to walk from her bedroom to the kitchen, it came to us.

Her: Hwa Chong Institution...
Me: ARGHHH
Her: ... high school section...
ME: wtf. just skip that pls
Her: Gold with Honours

Her voice seemed monotonous, almost trying to rush over the last three words. but it was appropriate. Any more dramatic she sounded, and SCH would go BOOM. we were told by the majors and edwin to contain our feelings to after the announcement of results. but we didn't care. everybody just stood up and shouted, for that few precious seconds. i wasn't thinking about anything at that point - what the school would think of us, how other ccas would react to our results were all of least importance. i was just filled by pure emotion. it seemed as if the logical left of my brain had been removed.

i was too emotional to be able to remember all that happened after that. our ex drum major nicholas stood by the door of the hall and gave all of us hi-fives. he is a very disciplined person, but even he, i could see, was beaming. after we got out, there the black of our uniform was everywhere. everybody was hugging, shaking hands and thanking.

i didn't care that that was not an excellent performance by our standards, or that it was a GWH by the judges' standards. all that reasoning seemed to escape from my head.

then liye came to me, quoting tze yong from thursday.

Liye: Don't believe anything. This is all a ploy man.

i threw him that look and kicked him. but even he was elated.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAVE HELPED US IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER THROUGHOUT THIS JOURNEY!!!

i shall post more after this :D

Exchange and Horticulture Park

Firsty, before i forget, thanks jiasheng for waking up so early to help me print the two diagrams xD

The exchange at TK was quite an eye-opener. We all actually expected TK band to sound the worst, as we thought they concentrated on outdoors. But to our surprise, TK actually sounded really really good. Their individual instruments' tones were great, they were very together, in tune, and most importantly, they sounded really good as a band as they were very balanced.

Then after the exchange, while i was keeping my instrument, jiaquan started sending me smses and hurrying me. Because of him, i had to tell like 5 lies throughout the whole bus journey back school to keep him calm. In the end he waited like 30min for me, and we took cab to vivo to meet sherman and be picked up by Mr Vincent Puah, Project Manager of Glasseshouses @ Hort Park.

We were totally tired and de-hydrated after that, and went to coffeebean (zhengyu's fav hideout). i ordered the white chocolate latte-thing. sherman got the double chocolate (sounds dam heaty okay) thingy. jiaquan got some cake. den we sat down and started talking from 4+ till 6+. dun know why it could last so long, but random stuff just kept popping up.

2mr will be another long day... band prac in the morning, going ntu to meet a professor in the afternoon, and gala dinner rehersals in the evening.. holiday assignments are screwed..
