band camp is over. in fact its over for the j2s. no more band camp anymore =( i feel so sad. really. but on the other side, im happy too. because you guys enjoyed band camp =D i admit i din do much of the planning. in fact i only did a teeny weeny lil bit. credits go to christofle. so dun thank me ok. i'll feel guilty, if u hav to b grateful, b grateful to christofle.
my objectives of this camp were 2/3 fulfilled. its only this discipline part. i find ppl asking for bandroom keys from me halfway throughout band practice jus to enjoy themselves. i mean if we are a band, y shld evryone out there train so hard and a few ppl in the band room enjoying the air con playing card games. if the ppl guilty of these see this, to you : as a fren i dun feel angry or anything, cos i can't do anything to change you, to make you more hardworking and self-initiated. but as your band president, i have evry right to reprimand you, embarass you in front of everyone. but i did not cos i'm still your fren no matter wad. try to understand my difficulties k?
i hope that band camp I and band camp II will forever be etched in our memories, how we enjoyed ourselves for the block catching session during band camp I, number guessing game we jus played few hours ago during band camp II, the american pie band camp movie we watched, swing girls(actually swing girls really portray wad our band is facing ALOT, say 80% similarity? go figure out). also remember how we bonded, the SUPER NICE food. the sectionals that seemed everlasting, always tough but nevertheless fun-filled. last but not least, times when we strived towards syf hands in hands, bearing the intensity of the many many hours of training we had todae and during band camp I together, not complaining(im vry pleased), paying much attention and all.
JJCSB UNITE!
ok enuff of serious talk. im tinkin of forming an alumni for jjcsb u noe? like, an alumni would benefit jjcsb a great deal. firstly we are a source of advice, thn we can fill in and make up for the lack in number during some band practices. and finally we can have a concert of our own. im really bent on doing service for jjcsb all the way till dunno whn. but juniors, feel sad that we seniors are stepping down after syf and won't b coming often for band practices. in fact not at all for some ppl. but fret not, cos evry yr we'll hav a party held for the seniors stepping down. a bbq or wadsoever. so i hope to see all of u there ok?
once again. thanks members for enjoying this camp and following instructions. i cant bear to leave jjcsb =(
*do check back soon for the photos.

im back again. my wish for today is that more seniors will come to this blog and post entries and dat more members will read. =)
ok back to reality. im really grateful to alex who has been giving his all to band too. i see him almost evryday afta sch, in the band room, conducting sectionals for his section, tryin to improve himself. i tink if there's another post called president's president. he would b the one. can the other sls b like him too?? if we are all like that, or at least all sls are like dat thn the possibility of us doing well for syf would b high. but at this rate where i see even committee members are not vry interested to improve themselves in terms of playing, thn this would mean doomsday. band is not all about just playing from the score and skipping the parts that you can't play you noe. where's dat solid determination to skip band practices to study for tests!! put it to good use now. be determind to master your parts well. if anyone needs me to be around to teach, just ask. i'll gladly be there to help k?
j2s im sure u would wan a good memory for ur band life. especially for those who are sec 2s(in mr tay's term). j1s do well and giv the seniors an enjoyable time during syf and this training period.
anyway band camp is this friday so i hope to see everyone there. i would b delighted to see ppl skip tuition classes for band ;) just like wad i did the previous band camp. lol. k im off to study for chem test. FULL MARKS!!. bye all.

my quote of the day: nv commit urself too much to one side, or the other side will become high, jus like a seesaw. jus like me, i commit too much non-academically and now i have to attend remedials EVERY OTHER DAY. monday-math, tuesday-chemistry, wednesday-band, thursday-econs, friday-gp. =(
ok enuff bout me. jus to cut some boring talk over here. anyone noticed dat cheexuan has been rather down lately. or mayb not dat down, jus dat she's not dat high anymore. stress from studies? guys? or wad. lol. cheexuan if u see this, know dat band dudes are concerned bout u k? lol.
uhh another interesting fact. todae there was this new eupho dude dat the commonwealth gang brought along wif em. thn he like keep asking isit dat im not coming for band practices tmr and isit i always dun come for practices. ok la i dun blame him for his ignorance cos afta all its spreaded by word of mouth. no one noes the truth. but humans tend to b like this, commenting bout someone else even before he noes dat person. but its rather insulting tho, since ive given my all to band for the past 1 yr or so. sucked at studies and improved a GREAT deal at eupho playing music making. tried to come up wif new ideas to liven up band practices, tried so hard to improve attendance although to no avail only up till now. but the attitude and effort stil cant b seen. mocked by teachers and frens for sucking at studies so badly, reprimanded too many a time by family, many more. or isit dat altho ive given my best, dats all i can do which appears slack? or jus dat my efforts dun reflect upon the band, jus individually. i still feel upset about it wheneva i tink bout the impression of me in some others is slack, caused the downfall of band(mite b true tho). come on ppl, its ur turn to motivate and encourage me already.
we all noe syf standard this yr is tough, high, sky high and wadsoever. like i tink the number of golds for secondary schools can b counted wif jus 2 hands. work hard ok??!! this entry is jus a comment from me, not anything else. so dun read if u dun wan tho. but anyway uve already read the whole of this entry, too late for any regrets. ^^

ok since im so free and sleepless now. i shall start off a lil.
i repeat this again cos this is vry important. a vry basic principle we hav to abide by. to pay attention. how can musicians not b able to pay attention. if u dun pay attention, u wouldnt noe whn the conductor is goin to start the music. dun say mr tay talk too much crap or wad, i bliv wadeva he says is in relevance to wad we are going to play for syf, not crap at all. pay attention next time ok? christofle corrected me todae dat i shldn't use the word hope, use MUST instead. but since u all are such grownups i wun interfere in ur behaviour. we aint any military band or wad. jus a performing group. decide upon urself if u wan ur behaviour to reflect upon the impression u giv others. there are sum ppl im unhappy wif, who dont turn up for practices, come as and whn they like, TALK whn mr tay speaking.. LOUDLY summore. wad attitude. utterly horrible behaviour displayed. no manners!
counting down from todae, we have 30 days remaining. 7 practices with mr tay and countless sectionals. these 7 practices wif mr tay is really limited so do make sure u come for these practices cos he is the only one capable of pointing out our mistakes cos me and christofle, even anyone else would not b capable of such professional judgement. 7 practices is really limited huh. SO make full use of this countless sectionals to perfect ur parts, make it flawless at least. i havent seen a full band sectionals on non band days yet. i WANNA see dat ok? attendance is not really a problem now, cept for this one person you should noe who you are. so wad's left is effort, prove it in sectionals pls, so dat i cant take some load off my mind. my results like U S S U S. help this poor dude here pls. i hav to stay back until an average of 6.30 evryday in sch leh.
also evrybody pls participate actively in band practices, since u all love talking so much so y not talk to mr tay whn he talks. u mite b able to learn things from him. who noes he mite hav so much he wanna teach but since no one bothers, so he dun bother too. other than talking to mr tay relevant stuff, AVOID talking to other band members during practices regarding ur personal stuff like wad u ate, gossips(especially eupho section hmph!), tests, wadeva!
