i'M BLOGGING!
wowee. i'm blogging! imblogginimbloggingimbloggingimbloggingimbloggingimbloggingimbloggingimblogging!
ok, so what happened today was the FIRST NATION BAND COMPETITION, 15th of July 2006. i shall remember this day. and like, one month ago, it was the Jamie Cullum concert. and the next 15th of the month is... oh, ok nevermind, haha, it's Amanda's birthday, hahaha.
ok, well, on to NBC, i think we made some mistakes and the most obvious one of all, we forgot to do the fp, the forte then piano thingy, and it was like, supposed to be our 'grand' finish la. then everyone was like, aiya, silver la silver. but i was kinda proud of the clarinet section for not squeaking, ALL the other bands after us had squeaked a lot. yeah! go clarinets! i think our first piece was good though, our second one was like shit. haha.
then in the bus, we were like, reaching school already, then kwan yee who was sitting beside me was sleeping (as usual) and i was listening to my ipod, i wasn't even sleepy! wow, well anyway, suddenly there was this loud shrieking and screaming and the first thing that came to my mind was "wahliao, so irritating la". and they were really screaming even louder than my ipod (which was blasting quite loudly, teehee). then i tried to think of why they were screaming and i was like, maybe something good happened! we got a gold?! and i quickly pulled my earplugs off and heard them screaming "GOLD! GOLD!". after a really long time, kwan yee woke up. i have no idea how she managed to wake up so slowly, haha, i think i would have probably jumped out of my seat or something.
so, one tiny tippy toe step to us being able to go overseas. the mark to get a gold is 80, and we got like, 80.5. haha, but it's still a gold la, good enough. don't kill me but honestly, i don't feel anything? haha, well, i tried my reallyreally bestbest not to squeak and to rmb all the accents and dynamics and blah, but i think i would have probably felt the same if we got a silver, but just maybe a little more hopeless cus i'm kinda tired of getting silvers.
so i rushed home and then went for warden duty at church, we didn't have to do it in the end cus it was youth mass and some other people were going to do it. then it finished at 7 and i was lucky enough to get a cab when i stepped out of church to go to Victoria Theatre for the dance concert. i think i just got cheated of my money, from Tampines to there, it would be about a 20min ride, and it was more than 30 mins. and i remember that i didn't recognise where we were going and i saw a clark quay MRT station on my way, the damn cabbie must have taken a big round. i didn't know the way so i did't dare say anything but i knew that it was getting a bit too long. i feel like i just got robbed, which technically i did.
came late and missed the first two dances, i really wanted to see them too cus someone said that the first one was really great, and i wanted to see the second one cus there were dance curriculum girls in it.
nevermind. the performances were great, the indian dances so totally spoiled it la, i mean like, that was not a racist comment. i think indian dances can be great, at the SYF in the heartlands thing, i liked the indian dance, haha, and i thought the children were kinda cute too. but yeah, this one was just plain boring.
then after the concert, we went to walk around looking for a place to eat, but there were a lot of chinese seafood restaurants and pubs. bleah, so we walked and we walked and we walked until we reached a dead end at riverside point, haha. we didn't want to walk back cus it was so FARRR away, and then, we were officially lost. finally, we found an mrt station and made our way home. yay. we took a whole lot of crap photos but i don't have them so when i get them, i shall post them.
yeah.
