still preparing for my LTCL exam...
the dates still not out yet...

wondering wad's taking them so long...

my piano accompaniment havent started...

stress~!!!!

trombone choir concert venus still havent found,
cant apply for nac grant if we didnt at least confirm a hall, the proposed repertoire n choir write-up is done le~!!!!

haiz...

quite a bit of things for me to juggle rite now...

thanks to the other choir members for volunteering to help mi in sourcing for some of the informations needed~!

______________________________________

thanks to my saf bands buds for encouraging mi over the recent "dark" period of my working life...

______________________________________

understudying S.L. just ended up not becoming one...
______________________________________

cos they tot the it got to leave soon cos no contract update...
then last min, got update.... phrase II....

so they decided to continue making him the it for as long as kingdom comes~!
wth~
waste my farking time..
abt time to change....
if not mi, at least someone else...

does it really matters if a person purposely starts spelling "RESPONSIBILITIES" WITH "L.E.S.P.O.N....." just for the fun of it...

does leadership qualities matters so much, tt a captain nid not necessarily be the best player in the "soccer field"...?
maybe he doesnt have to be.... but does tt allows him to be the worst player? with any nsfs coming into band c who kick a ball with a better tone then the leader?

during "soccer" training, it's quite hard to understand wad he wants, when he keeps commenting tt we're kicking it the wrong way...
and demostrate in a way tt's far worst then how we're kicking it...

omfg...
the tone, the tongue, the wadeva the fark it got to do with his playing..

i noe he sucked, we noe he sucked~!
i guess the higher management noes he sucked in his tonal dept....

but he definately have deprove in his playing over the last few months...
last week was it...

while trying to demo his juggling, he actually drops the balls some many times.... that it's no longer a smooth slur on the lips...

wad have he been doing the last few months...? not using his mouth the way it suppose to be...
but go n practice his lips on the double revolving blades of the "Chinook"~?!?!?!

wtf~!!!!!

-.-"

SAF Charity Concert 2005

"WORLD OF IMAGINATION"

presented by:
SAF Central Band;
SAF Music & Drama Company;
Mascots & Puppets Specialists....

19th November 2005,
Saturday,
Singapore Conference Hall,
7:30pm

________________________________________


The SAF Bands, SAF Music & Drama Company and the Mascots and Puppets Specialists together, are proud to present this year's Charity Concert entitled: World of Imagination on 19th November 2005 (Saturday) 7:30pm at the Singapore Conference Hall .


This year, the concert will raise fund towards nurturing 48,161 less advantaged children supported by the Community Chest of Singapore. The concert promises to be an evening filled with fun and laughter suitable for children and the whole family.


Journey into the wonder of adventure and a world of make-believe with Mascots and Puppets Specialists (MAPS) through the eyes of a young boy, Joey, who meets magical dancing books, creatures of the sea, and dancing flocks of flamingos. This fantasy world is created by puppets of up to 20 feet in height, drawing from ancient marionettes and the classical Japanese Bunraku. The music is set to music accompaniment by the SAF Central Band, under the baton of Senior Director of Music, MAJ Philip Tng.


MAPS is a puppetry production company founded by puppeteer Frankie Malachi Yeo in 2004, MAPS is based on Japanese Bunraku puppetry, an ancient Japanese art form believed to have originated in the 1600s. Its vision is to promote the awareness of puppetry as an art form in Singapore and to raise the standards of puppetry to an international level.


The night will also feature the SAF MDC Orchestra under the baton of MAJ Tay Soon Huat, performing Spring Festival Overture, Dance of the Yao Tribe and featuring guest soloist, Ms Tao Kai Li on Er-hu.


_______________________________________

so the method of reserving the ticket is still the same, you guys can call my main office line, and place a reservation with the duty personnel.

each caller(Full name/NRIC) can book up to 2 tickets only...

no mass or bulk orders from schools/organizations

_____________________________________

lies
You can sense lies. Whenever you're involved in a
conversation, or even eavesdropping on one, you
can sense whenever someone there is lying.
This can work as a benefit many times, but it
may also hurt you.

Satoshi
You're Satoshi. You're extremely quiet, only
talking when you have something witty or
important to say. You are seldomly seen
hanging out with other people, which is because
you choose to be anti social. You're very
mysterious, and unfortunately for you, people
are drawn to that.

fire
You are Fire. You have a very energetic
personality and you love to have fun. When you
believe in something, you stick with it until
the end, and when you disagree with something,
you make sure everyone knows. People look up
to you because you are brave and have a strong
will. You're independent.

flying
Your power is flying. Your wings are retractable,
so they're not always sticking out of your
back. You can fly very fast and as high as you
like, but the only problem is that no one can
know that you have wings, or they will
disappear.

daisuke and riku
You are Daisuke and Riku from DNAngel. This
relationship took a while to get into because
you both thought you liked other people, but
you soon found out that the person you liked
was right under your nose. People think you
are perfect for each other and don't want to
change a thing.

inuyasha
You belong in Inuyasha, a story about a 15 year old
girl who stumbles into the feudal era of Japan
with demons everywhere. Together her and a
half demon have to recover the pieces to a
sacred jewel that has great power. You're most
likely a person who loves adventure and will do
almost anything to get out and do something
exciting. You can be a little stingy
sometimes, and even a little naive, but your
true feelings always show, no matter how hard
you try to hide them.

we had a sec sch band coming to our camp for a band exchange...
it's a new thing for us...
it was proposed by 2SG(ORDed)Meina...

(she used to conduct mi in moulmein wind ensemble, which also had a combined concert with shuqun sec sch band.)

another familiar i saw in the sch band was a trombonist who played with mi in mus'art.. it's Ms. Lai Xin Lan...
last i heard she was in nie for the trainee teacher course in 2001...
now she's a teacher in fuhua n also 1 of the teacher-in-charge of the sch band...

anyway, the band arrived in the morning.... was welcomed by our officers, had a talk, then a guided tour ard our building "White House" of Nee Soon Camp....

then it was tea break n section masterclasses held by our Section Leaders....

Fuhua had 5 trbs tt day... MY S.L. hosted the masterclass for trbs.... 1st time i saw him teach... eye-opener....

then it's lunch break... then combine full band in the 'E.E. Dragon Hall'...
we played 2 piece, then they played 2 piece, n we combined n played another 2 piece...

haiz.... one of their trombonist then asked mi.... u are keith izzit...
i was wondering... huh, i noe her meh...?

she came to watch the children day performance at botanic...
she gave mi n ronnie(my brother also a trombonist in central band) a drawing each...
it's good her drawing...
it's Sakura from Clamp's Cardcaptor Sakura...
