Was on off-in-lieu on monday for saturday's NDP reh....

ndp rehs....falls on mostly sats then sundays abt 1 month b4 the the actual date....

supposed to have something in the morning... but couldn't make it in time...

afternoon, meet elsie at amk....
going to watch Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.
and i still havent buy my "order of the pheonix book yet..

i had the 1st 4 books, us version (paperback)
the 5th book was 2 uk version (hard cover) then the us version(but hard cover)
i'm still tinking whether to get the us hard or paper backing one...
how? any comments...?

anyway.... the movie is shot rather differently then the 1st 2 installations of the movie...
elsie tells mi tt this 3rd one is shot by another director?
i tot it's only another actor is doing the dumbledore role now.

but the feeling of watching the part3 is like seeing old frens aft 1.5yrs...?
seeing them grown n matured....
harry, ron, hermione.... n even fred and george(ron's 3rd n 4th elder twin brothers).
percy has graduated so we dun see him here... or is he in the 7th yr n left out in this movie...

and although the nicknames, wormtail, padfoot was mentioned thrice in the movie.... i wouldn't have know tt it's the nickname of james potter(harry's dad) and his 3 buddies..... if i havent read the book....

cant wait for the 4th installation of the movie....
cant wait to see who will be staring as the 2 champions from the 2 rival schs.....
and how much more chio-er hermione is growing to be~

let's see now..... tuesday.... 8th june~
morning went to teach ACS(I), they having camp this week...
after teaching them..... winston got go teach... so took winston's car back to camp...
stoned for a while in camp.... cos reporting time is 2:30pm....
cos 10 of us is going istana to play fanfare for our president.

at the istana abt 3+pm...
stoned.... 5pm reh....
7+pm actual timing...
the time in btw is all spent at the holding room and at the car park for "fresh air"

saf bands have to shift bunks.... to another block
currently we taking 3rd(parade bands) n 4th level(central band).... then some secretive pple coming over to take over the bunk so we kana re-allocated to another block..... but now is only 1 4th floor.... all parade bands and central band have to squeeze and share....

so now is parade bands A+B got 4 bunks each, central band got 5 bunks + 1 bunk for ladies.

packed some of my stuffs into bags....

took a shower.... played hearts with congzhi, kiat n kelwin till 2+am...

then went clare's bunk to watch tv to sleep(timer set to 120mins)
only mi in the bunk, cos clare didnt come back....

Wednesday....... 9th Jun.... last day of the month for mi..... cos 10th jun is pay day~!!!!! yeah~!!!!
anyway.... we had a visiting band from the US marines, 7th fleet... they're base in japan.....the band is called the orient express.... it's a dance band / combo band kind of set up.... 1 vocal, 1 lead guitar, 1 rhythm guitar/vocal, 1 very happening bassist~!, a shuai drummer, 1 t. sax, 1 trumpet, 1 trombone....

so when they arrive, central band play 3 pieces for them to show them our concert band.... then our own combo band did 1 song call sway by Micheal Buble.....

then it's 10 mins "fresh air" break while the us guys set up their equipments.....

they did abt 5-6 songs...
quite happening~

then jonathon gave them a guided tour of our new building.... they visited central band b4, abt 1-2yres back, when we were still in 75E, tanglin camp... but this group only the rhythm guitarist was witht the previous group.... the rest of the member are visiting us for the 1st time.....

then it's buffet cum interaction time....

then off they go.... and it's off for us.....
only for thos tt went for saf day parade reh(wet weather program) and istana fanfare...

but i still stayed in camp till 5pm..
cos it rained the whole freaking day....
so couldnt go home...

went to the lower lounge to play fool's ball / pool with staff tay, kiat, jordan, LY, yibin.....

left camp at 5pm...
reach home... went abt trying to configure the wireless connections for my sis's pc n my laptop....

Normally it's on every 1st Sunday of the month, we start marching at 5.45pm to Istana....
then the short parade happens there, with display performance by the Silent Precision Drills Squad from the SAF Provost Unit.

This sunday, Central Band is doing COG for Band B..... cos band b was busy with the bmt pop.

then aft work, didnt go for the trombone choir, pract was cancelled cos low attendence count for tt day.... so mi, wilson n david met for a drink(Erdinger Beer) at the coffeeshop to discuss current plans n direction for the choir....

On friday, report to work at 5.45am....

Sorry guys....
i'm bad....
been neglecting my faithful readers...

a lot had happened since my net was down to reconnected till now~

dunno where to write... tt's why nv write....

thnx to fen, i decided to start pen-ning my life blog again..

it's been a routine....

my life is like a routine...

day in n out.... kinds of boring i would say.... my gf finds it too~

but i'm a simple guy with a simple life with simple plans...

my life changes most of the time on impulse...
like when i finally got my mind onto something....
i'll work to achieve it~

now ever since the failure of not performing for the saf chamber concert....
has spurred my passion for forming a chamber group....

i had tot abt a career as a sessionist.... was curious wad's it' like.... all i noe is they earn big bucks~!

but after the scott hartman's masterclass.... i realized.... my passion is not really in orchestra....
i'm more into ensembles.....

currently on the invitation of a fren of mine to start a group.....
but i intend to bring the group further a level.... cos currenty tt set up is kind of different...
not the usual kind of set up for an ensemble, u see in singapore or the rest of the world...

common ensembles, eg.wind ens., brass quintet, wind quintet, trb quartet, section's quartet or something....

now it's something new..... i told them we practice for norms now.... to get use to one another....
gelling together.... then aft my ndp commitments..... in aug.... we will start working on some festive repertoires.....

then try to get gigs at shopping centres or something....
by then... i hope you guys can help mi to generate infomations to your other band frens or just frens to come n watch n listen.... to what we have to offer.... n best during the mood of giving... Xmas.....

well, i guess my loyal readers must be thinking... i've changed my style of blogging since the last time?

do give mi comments....




haiz.... my gf have been down lately.... drained by her new part-time job..... n the lost of her dog.... her doggie passed away a painful death at the age of 10(human yrs), after spending 7yrs with my gf....

the sad thing is my gf didnt get to see it die....

then herfamily decided to send it to a pet hosp. to cremate it..... dunno wad they going to do with it's ashes....

a moment of silence for Bi-Bi...



Ok~..... so wad else..... now busy with ndp rehs n soon the concert full band for ticheli's concert....
haiz ndp..... every yr i lou-gi $1-2k...... cos sats burnt.... cant go n teach.... so have to ask my frens to help mi cover lessons.... then pay them......

ok lah..... at least i still got my primary job.... SAF Bands..... risk of getting booted out due to my fitness tests..... now i just got temp down-grade to C9L2.... hope i can get a perm. down grade... then no nid ippt then wont get booted out.... then hope my promotions comes..... then my performance is recognised by my officers, men and frens~!

well..... till the next blog.... see ya guys....

oh... i wont be doing a day by day blogging liaoz...

it will be a if i'm online at home, i'll blog kind of thing liaoz......


oh ciaoz guys~! n gals~!!!!

thnx again to sueanne n fen....
for the showing mi the fun of blogging...

this will now be a channel for my inner tots, frustrations n moods swing....
no more routine diary blogging boring shit~!
