i bet our echoes are still resounding in esplanade concert hall
HAHAHAHA so bhb. sorry la.
i'm really going to miss.. quite a few things. such as
our first combined rehearsal on copa with mr lightning. "jag man. jag in the FACE." (jon choo 2006)
woodwind combined outside the sc. sounded very good. "i was chionging to the toilet and while running past you all i was like, shiokk ahh damn nice." (colin lee 2006) a/n: thank goodness he didn't pee on the spot or anything.
all our super productive sectionals under nicholas.. "you guys give me a reason not to give up" (big nicholas 2006)
a/n: shucks that was sweet.
the sec4s staying back till after 9pm one day to help us number all our scores. voluntarily.
sectionals with the sec4s. "boss, fierce sia. better pay attention or else boss cut our pay k. economic crisis already." (jon choo 2006)
making fun of dorcas. "dorcas dorcas where are you? i'm looking HIGH and- oh hi dorcas." (pam 2006, with infinite remorse.)
jonathan choo
this super nice guy who gave me a size 4 Eb reed when mine died on stage, then sucked and seasoned it backstage until it became damn nice to play, then later passed ms ho a size 3.5 reed to give me cos he was worried that i wouldn't have enough air for a 4. in the end i used the 4 cos it sounded really really nice.
then on stage he kept doing the retarded side-glance-and-stare-hard-for-damn-long thing during pieces, and after that i was so amused that the whole stage fright thing slipped away and my screechy notes didn't screech so much. then in the corridors he tried to act angry after getting insulted and stomped away, out of sight. a few seconds later he rounded the corner again, grinning like a retard cos he couldn't act angry properly. i love this boy. he's so bloody cute. i think he'll be quite upset if he hears i said he was cute. according to him, he's "suave, right?" not really.
you know he was crying in the middle of the morning because he missed rachel and me? and take a moment to picture a dao faced half the time buay song ahbeng saying "seriously i cant bear to leave you all.. i'm crying la haiz. tkc k." this little boy is damn adorable.
weicheah rocked too. he's probably the most dedicated/responsible/loyal/self sacrificing/mature sas boy i've come across so far. and he's bloody patient. he sat beside mr peh for almost half an hour (with a sian face, no doubt) listening to random, i dont know, econs concepts? cos we were celebrating john's bday and he felt 'not old enough' to join us. sas has the senior junior gap thing la.
and caspar was a riot. you should have seen how he hugged jon and 'cried' uncontrollably backstage when the sec4s were talking about stepping down. his stupid constipated face. rachel and i laughed so hard, i thought my jaw was going to get stuck.
and i'll miss the halted emo farewell, despite how halted/emo it was. "...yeah, thank you seniors." (silence) "okay so now lets have a hugging session"
yah then only everyone started crying.
i miss the j2s already. but i haven't started to feel lost without them. i feel it coming, though. the emptiness, the confusion. after band dinner, we're just gonna be so screwed la.
but i guess it's a phase of sajc band life that all of us inevitably has to go through. and i'm sure, just like all our ancestors (dont look at me, ms ho uses 'predecessors'), we'll unscrew this and get through it very much alive.
heal the world's suddenly picking up. but attendance is irritating, and so are the acoustics of the stupid budget cultural centre.
emcee script. erm, keep our hopes alive. haha.
honestly i think it's going quite okay. events also quite okay, although slightly merciless.
i love my section for their super willingness to contribute to this cause.
the sajc band spirit. ((:
what else to say ah?
happy national day!

reach for
the stars(:
