when i am down or when my soul's so weary
when troubles come and my heart's so burdened
i stay still and wait here in the silence,
until you come and sit a while with me.
and you know, study chemistry with me.

long tones with the band was a first for me, and it was really but no less an inspiration.
because after long tones when i went out to practice la forza, the tuning between octaves were so much better. so yesterday during individuals i did more long tones, then got too dizzy so i started on the high school technical studies book and made good progress.
but today i couldn't abstain from trying out dorothy's sax. amazing grace.. and the 7th night thing. and then i picked up my instrument, which apparently wasn't too happy about being neglected, and discovered that my breath support and tone sounded like fart again.
poor tolerance man. such a let down to cgssb.
so i grudgingly admit that 31st march is starting to look bleak. the probability of my body floating down kallang river is increasing like an exponential graph.
well maybe not. i might pass on earlier. from 2 days ago, yimei wanted to throw me inside. and from yesterday, malcom started sharing the same sentiments.
hmm. i've suddenly got an incentive to practice harder. i must die a good clarinetist!
any day now.
haha.
i'm not suicidal, by the way.
just narcoleptic. from copying over all the notes from past lectures. got barely enough time to do revision at night after band.
but band still rocks.
i'm sounding quite disjointed today right. plucking random thoughts from the otherwise vacuum space.
chemistry research is distracting. but i'm thinking i should stop thinking about that interesting particle of 1,2 dibromoethene soon. must pay equal attention to physics.
i wanna make you see just what i was
show you the loneliness, and what it does
you walked into my life to stop my tears
everyting's easy now i have you here.
if only you could tell.
then again, i wouldn't want you to.
i'm praying you had a good day.

due to the unprecedented tags that have so lovingly been left behind by two of my dearest bandies, i will devote the next few minutes of my life to them and post an update!
batch outing yesterday, had pizza for lunch somewhere around hdb hub. forgive me for not keeping the details of my surroundings in mind. the bandies were too overwhelming.
somewhere during lunch lynette came over and passed me a quarter of her pizza, and kenneth very gallantly said he "wouldn't mind" sharing it. and everyone else was full so i said i was going to cut the pizza "half-half". then as he said "yay, half-half", i discreetly turned away to give out a little amount gaseous product, and the whole table started laughing.
not the table literally, i mean the people at the table. (of course you already knew that, why am i telling you this?)
so anyway, a very perplexed kenneth looked around and inquired, "what's so funny about half-half?" (fresh fit of giggles)
and he turned to mychelle and asked her, "what's half half?" and she said "half half? yi ban yi ban? you mean your mother never taught you that?" leaving him no less enlightened and still the subject of their violent hee-haws.
so i tried to help change the subject. "when you get back home later you can ask your mom what half half is." but then i couldn't help adding, "and if she also explodes in laughter..."
HAHA.
but after that i felt very guilty, cos they ended up laughing at his blooper and not mine.
and God, probably noting that i was being gravely evil to an innocent friend
coughcough, delt out a very severe punishment in my honour. weiqin, your favourite part. :D
we left pizza hut with satiated stomachs, and me with a satiated finger that had the atomic remains of tabasco saunce particles, too small for a conventional wet tissue to pick up.
so.. at the bus stop my eye got itchy and i rubbed it, and omg it was hot, and in alarm i swiftly plucked out my contacts and gave it and eye of scrutiny. finding no foreign particles attached to any part of it, i attempted to put it back and omg, hot again.
the recollect recollect, oh no... my finger still has tabasco sauce on it..
talk about flashbacks. i tell you, never in my life has a flashback brought with it so many goosepimples. haha. with qin's comfort, emmie's concern, and shioks' tissue paper and water, i survived the ordeal.
ohh. best part. i soaked the lens in some water in shioks' thermos cap. then emmeline offered the water to john and he unsuspectingly drank from the cup. HAHA! lucky i took out the contacts by then, or else he'll be chewing.. what's that? a slice of natadecoco?...
i love my bandies.
combined was cool. productive. was a good warm up. but not much attention paid to note values..hmm, we'll probably be getting more intricate with the fundamentals in subsequent practices. sectionals. haha. got to work really hard to get to the seniors' volume and tone. must resolve to take my individuals much more seriously.
i miss crescent band.. have been feeling so slack since graduation.
hopefully i'll get re-inspired by their spirit on thursday when i go back again to see those undying, spunky kids.
muahaha. feel so old.
dorothy! so pro right pick up the instrument so quickly! haha. you jiayou ok. maybe one day you'll be like kenny g. :D have a good holiday! pam loves you superlatively!
rmbr kids, the key to effective communication.
never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.
tune in to the next episode of Gundam Flower for more flabbergasting trivias!
i better end off soon. or else all your eyebrows will unanimously raise in an unconditioned reflex response to my feebility.
was that even a word?
haha. have a good day!

Alpha and Omega, the first and the last
He can see beyond my future, while covering my past
greater than any man that's ever lived before
Jesus, my eternal Lord..
He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
deeper than the valley, higher than the stars
everything you'll ever need and so much more
Jesus Christ King of Kings, Lord of all.
