Oh yay.

I shall post about today xD

Not much highlights except for CME & Chinese.

Presentation! xD

I was like, improvising on stage ok. -.-

Loads of stuff wasn't in the script and loads of stuff wasn't done.

There's meant to be a super funny convo with the shu ji and sun zhong shan.

Then the board was blocking our voices.

Then we haven't rehearsed, so it was quite messy. And there's only ONE script.

And then no one to control the powerpoint.

:/

I think it's generally ok lah. At least the audience laughed xD

Ok.

After presentation we were watching this movie. It's like, damn sick.

I totally wonder why ji lao shi let us watch that. Probably because of PCCG.

At first I thought that it was about Chinese lorh. So I was watching the movie while fen xi-ing the thing -.-

End up it's for PCCG.

-.- -.- -.-

Argh I still have written task never do.

Tmr got optional xiaozu. I can't go leh. Too much stuff to do -.-

LA poem, Math written task, HMP SIA.

-.-

HMP SIA only left 1 concert journal(finish within half an hour), 1 music analysis (probably take around 2 hours), research paper(estimate 1 afternoon)

><

Eeek.

Still have geog graphic organiser on effects of air pollution which I haven't done it. Too lazy to do today so I shall do it tomorrow. I'm a slacker xD

Term 3 is just stress stress stress. The whole term passes and then all the NY people have white hair.

HAHAHA.

Kinda true in a way. Minghui already have them.

Haha.

Ok.

Going for dinner now(I know it's 8pm).

Byebye! xD

Umm.

Not sure if anyone's reading this.

I hate leaving.

Felt so bad when Mrs Ee said that dizi need 4 sec 1s and I'm leaving.

:/

Sigh.

Failed History. Rawr.

11/20.

1 mark to pass.

:/

First time I've failed a subject. Nevermind.

It's over...

I mean the History exam. Don't get too worried xD

Should have been more careful about phrasing.

Because I didn't phrase it correctly I lost like, 3 marks which would have given me a pass+A2.

Rawr.

Cried. Only a few tears. Had to workkkk to restrain them. I don't like to cry.

Sigh.

Plenty of other people failed also.

Keng Fang was xing zai le huo-ing on the bus to MOELC.

Dunno why, that made me feel better xD

But no thanks to SOME other people who went around bragging their history marks.

xD



This block test is so weird. I went up in chinese by a small margin and the rest go tumbling downhill.

-.-

Ok. ON TO HAPPIER THINGS!

Snippets!

Ok. Another time. Still got a lot of stuff never do. :/

Byebye!

Man I'm seriously stuck on 夕阳归帆

夕阳归帆夕阳归帆夕阳归帆夕阳归帆<333

Haha.

Ok. Have to 克制 myself sometimes.

Cos I don't want to be prematurely sick of that song! xD

My piano is my tuner(:

Erm but the piano isn't tuned for ages.

So not sure whether correct or not xD

I WANT TO HAVE PERFECT PITCH~~~~

@_@

Then it'll save the trouble of a tuner! xD


Okok.

I shall post about something...

Something...

Okok.

PSL interview.

Sucked.

I was so nervous Ms Lye(she was interviewing me) had to tell me not to be nervous. -.-

And 2 other PSLs interviewed me. The PSL VP interviewed me :/

I don't think can get in lah.

Who cares. Gain something, lose something.

At least won't miss lessons(:

Okok.

NVM.

Si Jia(the younger one, somehow our class calls her by her chinese name while her english name is Livia) caught up with me sometime... I think it's the day after interview bah. Then she was talking to me about the interview and being a good an wei xD Thanks! xD

And Madame Tournay wasn't there for 3rd lang on wednesday.

So there was this other guy called Romain I think.

He looks somewhat like a lion. Loads of wrinkles, grey and yellowish hair xD

He's super boring.

Like a lot of people falling asleep.

-.-

Ok.

Post about xiaozu!

Rocked. xD

Except laoshi's in a very bad mood.

Tortured Pamela for a long time.

Then Elise brought us the sec 1s out to lian.

And she got frustrated with us.

And she learned drum before! xD

She used the drumstick(wooden one not meat one) to 打拍子. And the table had little dents there o.0

And for that piece it's just CHIONG AH.

Not much time to practise.

She got us to sing to the beat.

I screwed up on my first attempt by coming in ONE BEAT EARLIER and kenna scolded by her D:

Then xiaozu finish le waited for liwei in canteen.

Lala.

Ok. I think I shall put archives on dizi blog first:D

Cos I feel very slack and don't want to do homework.

Ok. List down the stuff I have...

1)3rd lang
2)Chinese SIA presentation
3)Math SM1 which is overdue :/
4)CME

+Getting a revision plan up for EoYs.

Hmm. Long time no blog, so I shall blog xD

Dazu!!

Less scary than I thought(:

Maybe because Mrs Ee wasn't conducting haha.

'Cause she's the main cause for my nervousness! xD

Very gan3.

Just got the piece on thursday during xiaozu and then must "showcase" to whole orchestra on friday.

:/

Managed it though... I think...

Can la can la.

Well it didn't start out that well. I kept on getting stuck cos I wasn't thin enough to squeeze through music stands and bags and chairs and people etc.

And I didn't bring my water bottle.

So I was thirsty throughout xiaozu.

:/

And the school water got 鱼腥味. Yuck.

Ok.

I was pretty nervous during start of dazu(hey it's your first time playing with an orchestra man!xD). Can feel my heart pounding away :/

Then somehow when they played for the second time I started relaxing. xD

Dunno why. Probably cos the song was nice and I'm not the only one who couldn't play xD

No offence.

XIAO1 IS SO COOLLLLLLLLLL

><

I couldn't follow on the first part at all :/

Second part was a bit better.

Turns out that the first part was solo xD

Jiayou phyllis and pamela! xD

First few rounds I was just stoning.

Then some rounds later I found out that...

I COULD PLAY!!!

Okok.

Then after that I was like, "OHMYGOSH I CAN PLAY OHMYGOSH I CAN PLAY OHMYGOSH I CAN PLAY etc etc"

Bet phyllis was very fan2-ed by me xD

The problem was that I kept losing count of the bars until I got the hang of it. Then I just listened for my part and didn't bother counting(ok I did just for reassurance xD) Then me phyllis kengfang were like, "6. 2. 3. 4." with finger movements and stuff xD

So fun.

The bad thing was that I missed the SAME place for like, 5-10 times in a row??

:/

Horrible.

Kept on getting lost during that part :/

And turns out that dynamics on dizi is pretty easy haha

The hard part is getting out the note esp gao yin.

:D

Then I play like someone who had asthma.

Breathe in and breath out hard.

Cos my qi4 not enough D:

And the tuku part not all the notes came out with their correct pitches :/

And MAN the bangdi's super loud.

I LOVE THE DAZU PIECE~~~


Okok.

I'm going a bit off track here.

(this post is super random so pls bear with me xD)

Then limqing suggested queenie(student conductor) to not let seniors play.

Then the dizi sec 1s were like, "OMG" cos we though it meant that only sec 1s play :/

Which is super scary.

Esp dizi is LOUD.

Turns out that it's only the sec 4s don't play.

^^

Phyllis was like, "Then sec 3s don't play, then sec 2s don't play, then only left sec 1s play" with an evil grin. PHYLLIS! BU YAO XIA WO MEN!!! xD

Ok.

I CAN PLAY I CAN PLAY I CAN PLAY

LALALA

Ok shouldn't get all happy and high over it cos quite a lot of bits I still can't play. Like the super fast part and the gao yin and the tuku.

:/

Okok.

Gtg now post on DIZI BLOG
