i Actually had a itch to blog.. weird huh?
3 performance coming up.. 13feb(silver ribbon Campaign), 16feb(SRJC) and
17feb(972)..
ZingO-ians, pls confirm djw if you can perform on these dates..
Saturday (20 Jan)
my phone rang at 0500hrs.. it was not the alarm(i got no reason to set my
alarm and wake up so early), but a sms from djw, saying that he is rushing
his project and will be late.. it is difficult to maintaining a double
identity(one student and the other as one of the main person among the
group).. he not only got his point over to me, but made me wake up so
early.. i was not feeling so well the day before so i took pills and slept
at 0200hrs(because i am blogging abt the weird auntie who asked me quite a
lot of questions).. so basically i only slept for 3 hours.. i tossed and
rolled in my bed and still couldn't get sleep.. then i felt thirsty and a
little too warm.. adding onto my condition of being sleep deprived.. so i
dragged and dragged my preparations to go for practice..
tony , ruo Han and i met up for breakfast at khatib's MacDonald's.. sad to
say, i was early and the other two late.. hence i waited til 0830hrs before
having breakfast.. still a little too warm than my body temperature.. we met
up for breakfast as tony and Ruo Han wanted to join ZingO.. so i was sort of
like a middleman.. well, for my friends to join ZingO, i dun really mind.. i
had my second dosage of pills at school when i had the time.. but the pills
only worked til lunch..i took my third dosage at yishun MRT while i waited
for the rest to catch up as i went ahead to buy drinks..
well, Drum Practice was better than the practice on last last Saturday..
because more pple turned up, there was xjw,chun Ann, teck wee, belson,zhong
shu, aw ,choon, neo, Charmine, jasmine, qing sia and Pei qing and tony and
ruo han... at 0955hrs, i only saw a few pple.. i was like thinking ' sian..
history is going to repeat itself..' but within the 5 minutes, the seven
pple from TP turned up.. they made the place more lively.. Fu Hua's pple
didn't turn up again as they got a camp..
tony and ruo Han was extremely diligent in learning [b da ju].. the others was having a short practice of [b da ju]... after abt half to 1 hour , we had a break that was too long.. xjw
was prompting us to think of a score that can be used during the silver
ribbon campaign.. for me, this kind of things is not really my forte.. so i had to left it to the others to do so.. then TP pple was bored that they entertained themselves
with the score Neo created.. jia you, Neo!
this situation carried on til it
rained(chun ann, it is weather rain and not Korean Rain) soon after
1200hrs.. and after moving the drums indoors, we kept the drums..with no more
practice.. then we cleaned up the place ,dismissed and went off for lunch..
Qns: Wat Lau! why so slack?
Ans: because the entire practice was just to waste time away without a
proper, specific agenda.. what score to use, how to rearrange.. the brief
agenda was, prepare for the performance for silver ribbon campaign..6
performers for that performance.. there are limitations to our abilities and
just too many uncertain things we can think of and do nth abt it..like which
score to use and how to arrange the rhythms to make them fancy..if we set the
score, will be be too rowdy or will it be too conventional? all those
questions cannot be answered by us alone..there is no proper guidance..
because 1)we have the afternoon free(not very frequent), 2) we seldom hang out in such a big group of 7 after we got promoted(or not)and 3)it would be boring to go home plus we had fun together, we went to OCC and play pool for around 2 hours.. for $5 each person..(tony,you still own me $5)..xjw was missing his standards and belson and tony was pretty good players you know..
PS: there was another thing that made the day worse.. Edvwin promised the 7 of us that he will turn up for practice for the past two weeks.. and he have failed to do so for the past two weeks as well.. either can't wake up or got tuition.. i have little trust in his words.. but i can't help him..oops,*but i can't help it(he is a pig by nature)..sad.. dunno when he would turn up.. a lot of pple are waiting for you to join sia.. edvwin..
Sunday
my 'unwellness' had evolved into a fever by the morning and a flu by the night.. maybe i didn't really rest well plus the strain i had on Saturday practice..i slept the morning during work time.. that's the benefit of working in family business..
after i got home from the fish farm,i went to py's house to return her the radio which she generously offered when she knew the chalet needed one..haha.. i am so kua zhang.. it was only because i was running errands for my dad.. then she lived near the market..so i went to her house.. she offered me soup.. but if i stay and drink the soup, and she gets sick, like how she did during the day before prom, she would blame me again.. plus, i already had dinner, i had to decline her mum's superb soup(py is not that good i cooking)..so sadded..
i also made a mistake that crowned me blur king once again(Kai xin said i am blur king leh.. so sad).. we had a voucher from meritus mandarin because we chose them to hold 'The Prom'..i mis-calculated the months and i thought the voucher is only valid for another 1 week which actually is 5 weeks.. ha ha..so i rang a false alarm..
