讓她愛你 就讓她替我陪你熱鬧或孤寂
抱歉的話別再提 就到這裡 我真心願意讓她替我愛你

Personaly i like the thursday concert. I think it's quite good (coz i didn't screwed up). i felt extremely high after playing it. however, the friday one is really disappointing. Mr Li Chuan Yun is a GREAT violinist!!! the violin looks alive in his hands and his fingers really look like FLYING on the fingerboard!! it's us who screwed up his playing (came in wrongly, not together with soloist, out of tune, blah blah blah...). I guess we simply cannot accompany others =.=lll
On thursday, our section went for section lunch together (exclude Benjamin who had MEP test, TC who had Lab session and Rayner who rather to go to sleep than going out with us). By the time we went back to VCH, Rayner was there already. then HE BLAMED ON US FOR NOT INVITING HIM TO GO LUNCH WITH US!!! I asked him on that very morning and he rejected!!!! now he accused us for not inviting him.... wth... >.<
Before the friday concert , Dinah suddenly broke her sandals. So Yuzhe, Sandra and I walked around the whole Raffles Place with her to get her sandals (she got Band Camp aft concert and she refused to walk around with court shoes). It's not a easy task coz Raffle Place supposed to be CBD and a high class place (accoring to what we have learn in urban geog ) and it's difficult to find the kind of aunty's sandal that Dinah requested..Though we still managed to get one in the end, i felt like i had enough exercise for the whole week ..
anyway, during the rhsl, we had quite a few funny incidence going on within our session. Below will be the laughter corner :P
***********************Here It Goes***********************
Dinah was using the Beethoven Symphony 7 4th movement to do Singapore work out during the rhsl. It's really funny coz the beats actually FIT into each other! She's doing that to me, then Rayner sudden;t turned around and saw it. He gave such a funny face that Dinah laughed until her tears were out :P
***
Tedson was doing the " hey yoz what's up" handshape to us doing the rhsl. it looks funny coz it's quite random for him to do that. We asked him to do it to Rayner. He stunned for a moment, then HE DID IT BACK TO TEDSON!!!
it's then our turn to stun. after 10 sec, Dinah started to form a cross using her fingers and shown it to Rayner. Tian Chen did the Catholic prayer actions. Sandra was wondering is it Rayner or Rayner's twin brother. i juz looked at all of them and laughed :P
***
Dinah:"Rayner , do you know why i always sit down and play bass?"
Rayner:"dunno"
Dinah:" coz i can't stand you"
Rayner:"....."
***
We were playing bridge as a section before the thursday rhsl. at the end of the game, Dinah realised her partner was actually Rayner. she practically THREW AWAY all the cards in her hands and screamed aloud :"OMG, why are you my partner! I dun want you to be my partner!"
***
After Rayner got piss off by whatever Dinah did and decided to leave us to join the other table formed by RI guys, Benjamin replaced him and continue the game. he won the bid and call for King of Heart. however, when he is calling for partner during the game, nobody appears to be his partner. then Dinah suddenly realised she took the wrong desk of cards that are short of 2 cards! which means Benjamin had no partner need to win 9 sets all by himself! [it's until the end of the game that we realised it's Tedson who tried to play on Ben and hid the fact he is Ben's partner :P]
***
Aft wed's rhsl, Dinah and I went home by MRT together. at City Hall, Dinah's eyes suddenly light up BRIGHTLY . then i realised a foreign not bad looking guy juz enter the door (really typical thing that Dinah will do). [p.s. Dinah's standard for her future boyfriend is : 1. AngMo 2. Rich 3. Handsome]
Before that Dinah was wondering shall she alight at Paya Lebar or Tanah Merah. Aft she saw tt guy, she decided she will alight at Tanah Merah so that she can spend more time looking at him. Half way, the guy suddenlt ALIGHT AT KEMBANGA!! Dinah was screaming :" NO~~~" and the whole MRT was suddenlt very quite. everyone was looking at Dinah and her desperate action. Quite embarrasing though coz i was juz beside her :P but it's really fuuny.
******************************* End*******************************
This is the 2nd last concert i am playing for YO this yr. maybe for the rest of my life. Dinah, Rayner and I are leaving for A'level break after the July concert. According to Rachael, YO is thinking abt transforming into a 18 yrs old and below orchestra (to fit into the name of Singapore National YOUTH Orchestra), so all the cureent JC2 players may not be able to come back again. Sandra's Dad had appealed to Mrs Wong to let her leave right after yesterday's concert to let her concertrate on O'level. Benjamin is thinking abt leaving with us and pretend he has O'lvl break (though he's in IP programme of DHS). It's quite sad to think abt leaving the YO Bass section coz i am really close to all of them inside =(.. but i guess i cannot run away from it. that's the way life is..
Lastly, Jon Lee is leaving for NS after this concert. ALL THE BEST JON LEE!!! GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN IN NS ~~

Not feeling very well today. Having stomachache this morning before i left the house. my throat hurts like mad and i feel super sleepy. almost fell asleep during econ lesson and actually fell asleep during the lunch break. Mr Tay was asking me am i OK and why i look so tired. I guess i am juz very tired and sick of my life now. So many things to be done yet so little time. so i ruined everything in the end.
sad.
Went back DHSSE to help today. The basses actually improved a lot compare to the time i saw them 2 weeks ago. but it still not up to standard yet and they have a long way to go. Ms Ku was really worried. she scolded them very badly and trying to make them guilty. but looking at how some of them behave during chamber time, i think she will be very disappointed. coz that's how i feel then. it's painful to say that if they continue their attitude now, they won't get anything except COP.. the name of SE may juz ruin in their hand.
what Ms Ku said to SE was like some kind of enlightenment to me. Ya it's less than 1 month to SYF, yet all of us are still not prepared for it, even for RJCE. i know that more than half of the people are in SNYO, but it doesn't mean that we are all good enough to be excuse from practicing... really worried abt SYF.. especially we are leaving early for YO on Wednesday.. missing yet another half of the rehearsal XS and Bass are only going to have sectional [the first and last sectional, according to Rayner] next wk onwards... it's getting, em, "exciting" ,isn't it?
Mr Eric Lee tried to show us a urban geog video today [he's wearing a LEE belt, and we were laughing that he won't have to worry if he lost his belt].. Our claz muz be not fated to watch any video... coz something always goes wrong whenever we are going to watch a video. The player refused to work with us, first time no sound, 2nd time no picture. How nice. Mr Lee got irritated and decided to tell us our CT result for Human Geog: i got 11/12 for source base and 11/25 for essay[dunno if he is bluffing us...] The claz was shocked that i got 11/12 for source based, but i was really sad abt my essay.. i spent quite some time reading them yet i am still only close to a B, and it's only urban geog. i bet i did even worse for Physical Geog...
Life really sucks, whenever you spent so much time on something yet there is no return.

em.. Liying asked me abt yo assessment today. actually i had blog abt it already. but i will be more detail today ..
at first we thought the assessment is for Violin 2s (coz they are really bad... they way they talk is much louder than the way they talk.. they want to fake also dunno how to fake properly.. the worst thing is: they invade into bass section's area !!! UNFORGIVABLE!!) but it turned out for desk arrangement.
Here are the rulez:
1) it's on Beethoven Symphony No.7 first movement
2)all first desks dun have to be assessed (they are assumed to be good enough.. which is quite sad ,coz we actually hope they can assess queen as we think he is not up to standard to be an AP yet... but since none of us want to stand beside the king anyway, it's still better for him to stay where he is now =P)
3) Assessment will be on 3rd March .. originally (coz Mr Lim was hospitalized and thought have stroke, causing right body paralyzed.. turned out to be high blood pressure).. so it's postponed to 10th March
the assessment was much shorter than i thought. we were told to play the opening scales, then played a fast part that we like. the whole assessment didn't last more than 1 min.. some oboe player played less than 24 bars!!! it's individual assessment, according to names. the order and comments are as follow :
Yu Zhe: Screwed up his high A for the scale.. (he claimed he can do it during practice normally..) told to play slower for the horrifying third page
Dinah: Mr Lim said her sound has improved a lot.. but she think it's not very clear.. was told to play slower
Sandra: was told that she got quite some wrong notes in her playing
Tedson: i can't rmb abt him.. but he sprained his right wrist on the assessment day. and he hurt his right hand 2nd finger a few days ago... it's TWICE of my finger then.
Me: em.. i dun have negative comment. Mr Lim said my rhythm is good. my playing is good. and he was very impressed that i breathe before i start playing ^_^
Benjamin (came late due to MEP): he used my bass coz he had no time to take his out.. since he's not use to it, he kept snapping the bass.. partially coz we chased him in for audition juz aft he reached for yo (we were rushing for dinner), so he is very unprepared
The assessment had led to the new desk arrangement (upper at right, lower at left):
Rayner + Tian Chen (duh)
Me + Dinah (we switch.. but still playing own original upper/lower parts for the upcoming concert)
Yu Zhe + Sandra (Sandra is angry and hating Rayner now coz he separated Benjamin from her... )
Tedson + Benjamin (Mrs Wong told them that they might get kick to TO due to their poor performance in assessment.. they got scare and even went to ask Mr Lim for re-assessment.. but he said they are ok.. juz put them in the last desk and will continue to observe them)
the funny fact is: All Ms Yeo's students are playing upper now (except Benjamin whom i have no idea whether he is upper or lower.. he got same result as Tedson so it's up to them to decide)
and that's it for the assessment
**********************************************************************************
So far, the new desk arrangement is ok... was not really use to it last week (though only changing after concert, but King insisted) coz i can't see rayner/dinah/mr lim at the same time anymore... Dinah was not used to it coz she can't take off her shoes anymore (she's directly in front of Mr Lim now).. Sandra and Benjamin were not used to it coz they need to leave each other (how sweet <3)...Tedson and Yu Zhe are fine with anything.
oh there was a small incident happened this thurday: coz i got CLL CT on friday, so i was thinking abt exchange place with Sandra and sneak into 3rd desk so that i can mug.. it so happened that i was late and sandra was already replacing me!! I was like "YES!! 天助我也!!" before the king asked me to change back with sandra ~>.<~... he said it's not his fault for me to be 2nd and muz stand at where i belong.. he said it's not his fault for me to take CLL and had CT on friday.. ARHHH~~~~ dunno why they insisted that i shall stand at where i am =.=ll maybe becoz i am the only person in the whole section that king and queen can get along quite well with ..so i am acting like the green belt/ the berlin wall... lol

as the title suggests: YES CTS' ALL OVER ~~~ HURRAAAYYYY *dancing on the tip of my toe*
today's the last paper: Chinese Language and Literature. but didn't really study today. talking to my cousin online for the whole morning. he's in USA now for exchange programme. haven't seen each other for more than 1 year. really miss him =)
haha many people complained to me that this blog is full of chinese and they cannot read.. i dunno if your can't read is "it's in alien language though i know you are typing in chinese" or the "i hate chinese and chinese hate me" type of can't read... if you are the first type, please change your encoding to unicode. if you are the latter... too bad, i always feel i can express myself better in chinese :P
kinda of miss my friends in TJC and from Dunman High... haven't keep in touch with them so sometime... maybe i shall start organising some movie outing to go out with my friends.. when my schedule is not that pack anymore ^_^
最近覺得非常缺乏精神糧食...心靈飢渴呀... 好久沒有讀到好書了...*泣:~>.<~:*誰有看到好書快點介紹給我吧~~在我被"餓死"之前....:P

tomorrow is the last paper for the CT: 華文與文學. glad it's finally coming to an end, although i really enjoy going to school in the afternoon only (can sleep until 9am everyday =P). Overall the papers are not so difficult. but i didn't prepare very well, so make some careless mistakes here and there, got 1 or 2 questions dunno how to do in every paper...*sigh*
昨天華文考作文,覺得寫的很爽.想起以前老連強迫我們每週都要交剪報的日子,感謝他,使我每次再寫報章報導或作文時都下筆如有神,寫得行如流水,輕輕鬆鬆就寫了4面再加1行,絕對超過1500字 *比出V字手勢+仰天長笑三聲*...我寫的是漫畫作文,主要是針對老人的家庭地位發表意見.其中我最滿意的一句話就是:"...老人在家中的地位竟然比不過一隻畜生 (指寵物)?!這不是可悲是什麼?" 個人最滿意就是"畜生"那一詞.不過我想老師應該會對它發表一些意見吧..哈哈
THE SYF WILL BE ON 20 APRIL!!!
so there will be entended practices or maybe extra practices to be expected in the future =.= but doubt whether there will be extra bass sectional ( the king simply has overwhelming trust in Kelvin that he can play well... though i doubt that). At most combine with cello.. and it is going to be VERY BORING... arrrhhh~~
here is my schedule for next week:
monday: go back to DHS to give bass sectional~6pm
tuesday: SYO rehearsal~10pm
wednesday:SYO rehearsal~10pm
thursday:SYO concert~around 10pm
friday:SYO concert~around 10pm
how nice... can't go home before 10pm for almost the entire week.. I NEED MORE SLEEP!!!!

finished econ and geog CT. if econ was a sigh of relief, geog was a heavy sigh of desperate: i was staring at the question blankly and dunno what to write for the first 15 mins.. this shows how do i feel abt this paper. the only good thing was that i completed the whole paper. the bad thing is i dunno if whatever i had written is relevant or not. according to past experience, abt 70% are irrelevant stuff. so whether i will do well for it or not is still a BIG question mark =.=
hate tml's schedule: chinese lit in the morning and maths in the afternoon. always feel double stressful whenever having 2 paper on the same day..well, juz 2 more days and this whole thing will be over. hope i can survive up to then =S
think i saw someone shoplifting today. the guy put something into his pocket and went to the counter. but i didn't see him took the thing out to pay for it. i didn't dare to go and report coz i was not really sure if it is 瓜田李下還是真的順手牽羊..最後我選擇了明則保身. 但心裡還是覺得很不舒服..好像是暗允了犯罪的發生,而自己也是共犯之一..有股衝動想去告訴店員,不過最終還是忍住了..啊~~~~ 好鬱悶
詛咒發明考試制度的那個人...他現在一定是呆在18層地獄永不得超生...詛咒你詛咒你詛咒你詛咒你.......

Today is econ CT. i shall be sitting in front of my study table and mugging hard abt it now. but i can't. i feel really burn out. i need more space and more air from my life. so i decide to surf the net and give myself some freedom, although i know i will regret ant doing this 10 minutes later, when i see the tons of things that i have not finished mugging yet.
the schedule for last week really screwed up badly. i planned to mug 2 topics from all subject everyday but failed juz becoz of the screwed up schedule. the students suddenly cannot make it for lesson so i have to come out with another make-up lesson with them, Ms Ku suddenly called me back for DHSSE and i stayed there longer than i expected., the endless SYO rehearsal.... 就像全世界的事情都等著我去做,但我卻無法全都完成,最後全搞砸了的感覺...
好累
kinda of happy that my teaching life will end on april. though it's sad to leave the students as i really enjoy having lessons with them. yet i really cannot cope with my life anymore. the schedule before april is like hell... full packed everyday and can't go home before 10pm.. i dun even want to think how will it like before SYF or before next CT. it'll be juz another nightmare.
唉
time to go back and continue studying abt Multiplier Effect... facing mental Law of Diminishing Margin now =.=

Ms Ku: 你什麼時候可以回德明?
Me:什麼時候都可以呀.只要你需要我我就回去.
Ms Ku: 我現在就是在問你,你什麼時候可以回德明.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Becoz of this short conversation, i paused my study plan for the oncoming CT and went to DHSSE with my bro yesterday. i was planning to stay for the morning sectional only so that i can go home and continue study for the CT. but when Ms Ku asked me if i want to stay back to watch their combine rehearsal and for some reason, i stayed back until 5pm and agreed to give another sectional to the basses 2 weeks later... Orz felt as if i had attended the DHSSE rehearsal with them..
During the sectional, i helped Linghong and Tee Shir (i guess that's how her name spells..) with their SYF pieces. It's a really difficult job coz their basic techniques are not there yet.. not only intonation, i had to teacher them what's the different between forte and accent, how to do cresendo, how to switch between pizz and acro in the shortest time blah blah blah.... Linghong said attending my sectional feel like been in the hell.. but i was very worried abt their standard..only managed to go through one piece with them. hope they can absorb all the things i thought them today.. dun have the energy to teach them the whole piece again =.=
Maybe it's liying and my fault.. we spoilt linghong when we were the SL so she dun know how to behave like one yet.. need to teach her how to lead the section and help bass section in SE to get together now..what a tiring job *sigh*
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE SNYO ASSESSMENT RESULT IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have been promoted from 2nd desk lower to 2nd desk upper now~~
i got the A-, the highest score among all bassists taking assessment with me !! YEAH~~~~ *jumping around and screaming*
interesting fact: all Ms Yeo's students are playing upper in SNYO now=P
can't wait to share this news to my friends =) YEAH~~~~

Last thur was the assessment that every bassist (except the first desk) in yo is freaking out abt. although we were told tt it's juz regarding desk arrangement, everyone was still scared (of course, i dun want to get kick from 2nd to last desk... too embarrasing =.=)
well, the assesement was actually very short. abt 1 min plus. Mr Lim asked us to play the scales in the opening of beethoven sym 7 first movement. then we can play one part from the faster tempo within the movement. it's not really as hard as we thought. he said i did very well and i got good rhythm!!! yeah~~ i am happy as long as i can stay 2nd (and i never thought abt going first.. so do the others. nobody wants to stand beside the king. yucks)
It's quite funny that the very moment everyone stepped out of music studio, they started grinning non-stop, made me think that everyone did excellently well for assessment (i was really scared coz i was the last one to enter and everyone seemed doing well...). but during dinner, they started complaining how they screwed up, such as Yu Zhe missed his high note, Sandra played a few wrong notes, Dinah complained her sound is not clear enough, Benjamin was told to play slower....how ironic.i end up to be the only person not getting any negatice comment (ok. i am 暗爽 abt it. i admit)
Benjamin and Tedson were terrified after the assessment coz Mrs Wong told them they might got kick to TO coz they did badly for assessment. they even went to look for Mr Lim to ask for re-assessment. Luckily Mr Lim told them they were doing ok and would not get kick to TO. will be very sad if they leave YO since we have been section mates for so long (and they always bring fun and food to us =P)
overall, i am quite satisfy with the assessment result (though Mr Lim didn't really give any desk arrangement for bassists.. all other strings have 大風吹 on the very day after their assessment)..
6 more days to CT!!! shall start mugging now >.< 加油加油加油!!!
