Yesterday...
guess i've really lost the momentum of blogging. always felt very lethargic once i got home and starting to find blogging when i'm tired a bit of a hassle. haha~
~ // ~
had a very good night sleep on friday night, perhaps due to chatting on the phone till 3am. keke. woke up at 12 plus pm yesterday. woah~ hadnt done this in a very long time, waking up to hear little kids screaming to go home after cca and birds flying past my windows and pecking on my windows. haha~ i'm not trying to be poetic or something here, but these noises really do irritate me. i quickly washed up and dressed up to go down to kim seng. promised guangyi i'll go early to check on the conditions of the un-used euphoniums in kim seng.
received a call from a fren while on my way to ksws. quite worried.
reached ksws quite early, den realized they were having auditions for new members. wa~ sonny, guangyi and lawrence were sitting at the front of the band room staring at the auditee (is there such a word?) like the king, queen and jack of the spades family. (lawrence = king ; sonny = queen ; guangyi = jack) ;p sonny sort of gave me an angry stare when i first interrupted their audition session, but later on i learnt it's only him putting on a fierce front. haha~ gave me a shock.
found two unused instruments at the top of the cupboard. one euphonium and one baritone horn (omg~ so cute~~). the baritone horn was still in quite good condition (at least i could turn the valve screws and take out the valves to oil them; the slides were all movable); the euphonium was quite terrible with white weird things all over the place and i could not even take out the valves even tho i could unscrew the top. had to use a wrench to pull them out. gosh~ after maintaining them (without polishing them... coz i was terribly disgusted by the white white stuff...), i took the baritone horn to try out, tinking it was quite fun. but... er... the sound is quite terrible. i was haf expecting a bright horn sound, but it turned out to be sounding like a very nasal trombone no matter how hard i try to sound mellow. yewz...
after the audition (5pm), sonny shoo-ed us to our seats and forced us to sight-read "The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" arranged by John Wasson. oh gosh~ it was like a horn ensemble (4 horns) with the (1 clarinet; 1 alto sax; 1 trumpet; 1 eupho; 1 tromb; 1 tuba; 1 perc). sounded terribly weird. haha... almost reminded me of my first session in Audio Image band. ;p
~ // ~
after band prac (6:30pm), went down to toa payoh to search for somebody. din really manage to find him, but manage to see woei kee and his gf... muahaha~ gave him a sms but din wan to bother them, so din meet up with him. felt terribly sian and came home despite justin jio-ing me for dinner. (my location was not very convenient la~)
oh well... wanted to arrange a song last night... but din hv the mood. almost wanted to jio someone out one, but nah~ too late liao. went to sleep at 11pm (that's considered VERY early for me). sighz...
~ // ~
guess i'll be heading down to esplanade library again later to return my cds and pay my red hp bills again. sighz... wanted to stay at home and rot all day one. but, oh wells, keke...
tried my new *****s last night, damn comfortable. shall be getting more. *****s rules!
dum-de-dum-de-dum,
