HAPPY BELATED 45TH BIRTHDAY DAD!
Sheesh man, thanks to that band camp, i totally didnt get to celebrate my dad's birthday which was on the 27th of febuary.well, a recap on what i did during band camp:
Friday( 27th feb)
reached band about like 3.30pm like that. then had this briefing before we proceeded to put our bags and head to the band room to practice our SYF pieces. And there goes mrs chee, nagging all the way about how "messy" we played and stuffs like that. DINNER was a KILLER. i couldnt eat well thanks to that "muddy chicken" found on my rice. Like EWWW. i could only eat the nuggets and seaweed chicken. i didnt have a satisfactory lunch though. ): After that, went to clear up and got our instruments and stuffs to go the the conference hall. The journey was LONG, like 1hr 30mins? chole and i chatted alot. haha~ helps to kill time.
When we reached there, we were kinda early cause our time starts att 9pm but we arrived like 8+pm? went to look around the area, come to think of it, i've actually been to the place before. Well, when its our turn to use the conference hall, i was getting the shivers. i was damn freaking nervous lah! The hall was not as big as i've expected(phew! XP), but the stage felt REALLY big, as in when i sit on the chair, there's like a wide spacing between my friends and i. (Conclusion: the whole thing was screwed up.)
1. mrs chee looks rather embarassed when we played in front of mr tan
2. I somehow couldnt play my running notes AT ALL due to nervousness
3. The way the band played was not coordinated and not loud enough
4. Dissaproval from the alumni
5. THE BAND IS NOT READY.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
went back to school,disappointed. Hurried to change clothes and went to sleep by 12am.
Saturday(28th feb)
nothing much really happened. It was a LONGLONG DAY. woke up at 5.45am to get changed and wash up. had breakfast at 7am. BREAKFAST was GREAT! ((: After that, we went to the training room to see our recording from the conference hall. Man, had alot of scolding from mrs chee and consulation from mr and mrs chia. OBVIOUSLY, we werent doing any BETTER.sheesh.Then after that it was time to get to work, we played from morning until night! we had sectionals for about like half a day before procceeding to combine practice with mr chia and followed by mr tan at night. everything ended about like 9pm. i reached home about like 9.30pm thanks to farah's day who sent me back home by car (:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
suprisingly, i woke up like 11.30-12pm the next day. that was how exhausted i felt.
Today
THANKS TO that freaking band camp, i had muscles aches around my arm( due to holding the clarinet for to long), dry chapped lips, and ulcer in my throat!(due to excessive blowing of my instrument) zzzzzzzzz. DAMN LAHS. do we like have to suffer like hell?! i was feeling all drowsy in the morning. Chole was also expirencing the same thing too. gahhhh~ this couldnt get any worse.
