Geez... Other than slacking around as its holidays now, been having a lot of band practice and practicing on horn and piano a lot. But but but... Still need more practice on the higher registers for horn and need to run to build up my STAMINA!!! Geez.. Been breathless quite often when playing. Anyway, NP band concert is confirm to be on 31th July.
Just a few days ago, attended a talk by Adam Khoo, a famous motivational speaker, after sitting thru, I felt that its no much of a difference compared to other motivational speakers. And anyway, got to find out that my brother is attending one of the program conducted by him. Geez.. It cost a bomb. Don't know whether it will have any effect on my brother to help him improve his studies.
For my dental, I have to remove my wisdom tooth, very reluctant to do so. But just could not escape the clutches of the dentist hands. And going to see a doc for my face, told my parents regarding the cost and they look very reluctant to pay after enrolling my brother to the program. Perhaps, putting on braces may not be a good idea thou.. I would rather treat my face first then my teeth or maybe don't put on so I won't be suffering in silence when playing in band. I don't know, what's done is done.
Oh yah! Before I forget, my results are out tml. Hope my results are not that bad. God Bless...

hey hey!!! exams are finally over, but i won't expect myself to score well in certain papers for the exam. I would say up till now, it one of the "Best" semester in Ngee Ann in terms of academic. Other than academic, it fairly an eventful semester with the Open house and of course my class!!!
Now its holidays, it will be taken up with band practices and event planning for the freshies. Other than that, i will be basically slacking at home. Some dates to take note - July 12 and 21 SWO and NPCB concert. Date for NPCB's concert is tenative. Cheers to Kenneath Lim on EcoRanger on the successful launch! Read the article on EcoRanger publish on 5th May 2004, Computer Times. Alright, time for me to sign off now, update you guys soon!

eNd oF cHaPtEr 2....
Okie... semester 2 is coming to a close, exams are juz a week away.
A few things happened this past weeks.. firstly is, attended primary school band competition held last week, pretty cool and interesting to see primary school kids competiting with each other. Well, its not a big bang unlike for secondary school, but its one event worth going.
Secondly, i have passed my audition with Sembawang Wind Orchestra (SWO), but its quite amazing how me and my buddy Eddie did it. We took out our audition pieces and started practising hour before the audition. General comment was.... "Don't Ever Pull This Kind Of Stunt Again!"
Thirdly, done my demo for my group's pizza ordering, well.. my feeling is, it could have been better.. but what's done is done.Thanks guys for EVP! For BIS report, got a good grade, thanks to Ivan for the AFD! PSP, don't talk about it. Cheers for those who have done well and work harder for those who don't
Other than that, most of the lessons have been cancelled during the week so i have been slacking around. So after the exams, holiday time... gosh! wonder what am i going to do for my holidays..? Sadly, my class is not attending prom nite, thought will be great fun for us to go.. well, perhaps next year! :-P

God bless... and happy easter to all!

of teaching and wisdom
return to my secondary school today representing the band to attend a meeting regarding the formation of an alumni association, not a very productive meeting though but manage to get somethings going. hopefully this association will benefit in both ways and its not a one sided affair.
after the meeting, joined the band with their preparations for their sentosa performance. the upcoming performance requires them to march while playing, so they were out under the hot sun brushing up their marching. i decided to help out after seeing the majors having a hard time teaching them. poor girls anyway. so we split the band into smaller groups.
took 2 groups, one after another and taught them the basic technique. well, as i teach, words of wisdom just came out from me, its quite amazing though how it happen. and of course with some yelling, things have improve alot. just hope that it will maintain or improve their current standard until their performance.
