Full dress walk thru + RV spark VI
Sian... today council from 7.30am to 6pm! Slogged under the sun untill dun feel well! ALothough Scheira wasn't very prepared i felt our walk-in went quite well and it recieved a pretty good response from the crowd compared to the other houses... lols... so i think our houe walkin is the best! kudos to tan pek for being a great mummy dance teacher! cheerios for her! As for our skit! hur hur... need more fine tuning. hehes... as usual i get the stupid/loser roles which seemed quite well recieved. lols. i think today i improvise quite good leh. cos i felt if i read the speel book upside down, no one will notice. so i just acted as though my rah rah spell didnt work... then to exaggerate i went to slap shawn's face... lols... haha
after tt went to RV concert. quite good the players. guan mian super good! almost every piece have to stand up cos got solo! so zhai! haha! after tt nice erwin went to treat us at marche! so nice! must try to fork out time to send him off! super thristy today! felt happy though. tpday was a nice but tiring day!

hong kong band trip (21st to 27th dec 2005)
21st dec 2005:
I went to excitedly to load instruments, then we set of to the airport! then things started to get messy but it was still alrtie. we got onto the plane and i managed to get a patrick woohoo! I WATCED skeleton key which was pretty good. the ending was sooo sad! once we reached guang zhou we had to do a stupid perforamnce. the oboe guy i good but quite slack too... the concert was cmi... After we checked into our super nice hotel! tv damn nice lah LCD one! Went to a few ppl room b4 falling alseep!
22nd dec 2005:
Free and Easy morning! super excited! We wanted to siam early from breakfast cos couldnt wait to shop after one long and boring day yesterday! we went walking around our LANDMARK hotel. We were walking in large grps then we started spliting up. lost ashley on the way, so i was walking with dency, shihying, tess & me.
http://image62.webshots.com/162/9/3/27/531090327PRdAvq_fs.jpg In the end we found some ppl and continued our shopping quest. The shopping centres were damn ex lah, so in the end i stumbled upon one astroboy shop and started my splurge there! I bot a shirt and pants for SGD$70. quite ex but i was in the mood for spending.
Later we had to do this stupid exchange programme. Oh man... super sad... all the ppl there about our age but they all super zhai! we were like thinking, no problem, no need to scared cos we tot oboes every little and it will be like 1 vs 3 of us. to our horror, we were out numbered 2 to 1. lols. I like the oboe guy who was sitting next to me, he seems rather nice cos he kept talking to me. and most imptly he had almost the same kind of cool specs as me. they all seemed like nice ppl expt mr attitude. just like our nice bonded session.
Yay! dinner was a blast cos our shopping gang cant wait to go out and SHOP SHOP SHOP! we wanted to just skip the first course but we ended up almost eating everything. we wanted to bring some ppl back to the place where we bot our cheap shoes from! but to our horror! the shop was closed when we got there. so we procceeded to plan B which was going to xia jiu lu (down nine road)!
I was so glad we decided to go there cos the place was super nice! lights everywhere! we took a grp pic b4 settling out to our groups. i was so afraid i would get pick-pocketed! lolss! i ended buying like 4 pairs of shoes to give away to my cousins! lol! then karwai kept bargaining like crazy to the shop keepe until like all the lights turned off he still there lols! i was so scared he will kena beaten up! haha!
23rd dec 2005

HONG KONG! we woke up super early to get our stuff! i was super flustered cos i had to call a lot of ppl to ask for mys tuff cos they were everywhere! by the time i packed i still couldnt find my dear camera! thank goodness yanru found it in her room!
we reached HK customs@ man it was terrible! WE JUST COULDNT STAND IT! There was shoving pushing, cutting queues! errr! everyone was so pissed! not to mention the incredibly long bus ride which turned out to be quite an enjoyable sleeping ride! MANS! the customs! there were like seas of ppl every where and we had to use our luggage and instruments to block the ppl from crossing!
we reached the incredibly lousy hotel and had lunch followed by shopping time! shopping at Esprit was ok cos the stuff there quite reasonable then we started walking for like hours and hours on the long streets of granvile to find jiamin's factory warehouse but couldn't everyone was tired and grumpy so we went on home....
later we wanted to go back to to 2% cos i tot it was the ONE shop... tooo bad the stuff there not nice for guys so a few of us went to MONG KOK! lols! fake stuff haven! i love to bargain there! at the end of my trip i was so pleased to get myself a fake okaley bag which looked pretty real! i managed to slash it from hk290 to HK150!

we walked through th "xing guang da dao" saw hand prints and signatures of ppl like bruce lee, ackie chan and stuff! it was pretty cool.
we then headed down to the quicksliver shop and i was super disappointed as it wasnt as cheap as i imagined it to be.
aft tt we went to times sqaure where me and karwai took pics with all the harry potter exhibition outfits there! it was super coool! then the few of us took the super nice photo which i name the photo of the trip!
later it was gonna be 2pma nd every one was scared to be late but i wanted my kipling monkey so badly i had to go back and get it.... luckily got meikeen and dorea to accompany me there! they are really nice ppl! kudos to them! too bad tt stupide monkey oly go t2 and both of them are damaged so i had to pick the better of the 2..... sigh... didnt want to make a wasted trip!

later got onto the plane and flew back to singapore! in the plane got to sit with ashly and we were watching wedding crashers which was not as clean as i expected... the funniest thing is tt we kept waiting for one another cos i kept pressoing the controller while he kept using the toilet. when we reached singapore a few of us were sitting on the rollers and it moved suddenly! LOLsss! super funny! ahhaha! later took a bus back to njc...

band fest
its finally over! damn sian... so tired. i get slammed everyday by u-noe-who... its so mentally exhausting... but again... its so dejavu... i mean... its like being conducted under the same conductor again and playing the same piece...it sorta feels like my days in acs... getting suaned like every 10 min... its quite extreme... must be so long never see than one short give me1 yrs worth of embarrassing comments and crap. ha! lol... my nj frends all thihnk i damn poor thing but i so used to it liao. lol... let me right down some demoralising comments...
"u are so young but ur hair is almost the same as mine."
"i can't hear u. dun be a white elephant"
"use more air! tts wat i have been telling u for the past 4 yrs!"
"is this note supposed to be sharp or flat?" --> "u have wasted 4 yrs with me"
"lets hear some running notes. lets have the OBOE!"
"i dun like flutes cos they cannot be in tune. and also OBOE!"
"do u noe how to tune?"
"u dun even noe how to trail from F to G"
"r u stressed? is ur conductor giving u too much stress? i can talk to him u noe?"
"u mean u all cant play runnig notes? XXX so nice nv check issit"
"u mean ur sch no oboe stand?"
"am i picking on u?"
but band fest was also fun in the sense get the see my ac clique.... haha u all so funny... so nice now the band ppl noes most of my frends liao. so cool! then get to see familiar faces from hc and ac too! i guess i didnt really socialise much. i felt too loser after every combined! haha... no mood lor.
the only thing tt i took away from band fest was that i LACKED SELF CONFIDENCE to play alone... this yr i may have like become more brave to act stuff or do stupid things or try to lead ppl or socialise but not when it comes to playung by myself. i guess i am too reliant on tess cueing me in or sixun scolding me to come in. i just feel so lost my myself... and seriously my playing was so badly affected. i think i might even sound worse when i was in ac... damns... must have left an horrible impression on u-noe-who and the ac ppl. but nvm... i will try to improve...
