escape theme park!
physics excursion to escape was damn fun! yakult ride was hardly exciting at all. they didn't go fast enough to the extent that would make us really scream out loud, it's just more like we were screaming for fun. the viking ship was thriller. I shouldn't have sat in the extreme end with steffi and jiaxin, I screamed my lungs out. they went up so high, I closed my eyes throughout the whole ride. I was so afraid that I would throw up after the ride. damn. water ride was fun and thrilling, me and sijie got super wet. though she was wetter than me cos she sat at the back and I sat in the front. somehow sitting at the back makes you wetter. and go-kart was an unqualified disaster cos I had an accident and my foot got stuck in the gas pedal. WTSHIT. luckily I was wearing shoes and not slippers. I was tempted to wear slippers today but I changed my mind at the last minute. looking back, I was lucky I didn't break my ankle. the angle that it was in earlier when it got caught in the gas pedal was scary. =\ so the result of it: pains in the chest-possibly because I hit the steering wheel in the impact, bruises on my legs, and an abrasion at the side of my neck. the funny thing is that it doesn't hurt when you rub it, only when you press it. and everyone saw that injury and they said that it looked very painful. talk about disgusting. the bruises would really take forever to fade now cos it's not blue-black, it's RED-black. photos would come in at a later stage. =)
about chem tutorial.
I think I'm seriously starting to suffer from chem overdose. cos of the amount of stuff you have to memorise for mole concept, atomic structure, chem bonding and energetics. omg. and if I don't do well now how would I cope when it's promos and when I'm in J2? there's alot more stuff to memorise now, compared to secondary school. talk about great contrast. =(
on friday, I went back to commonwealth to take my o level cert which has been calling for collection for ages. but I never had the time these days cos of too many tests, SYF during may, alot of work to get out of the way, mountain of revision to do.. and I found out from my juniors that there was SYF showcase tonight. and I managed to get a ticket from tingting. =) listening to them play safari and jericho was amazing, I had no idea that the speed for safari was so fast. and the way percussion played, I realised how much they had improved from the last time I saw them. and I didn't go support them during their SYF even though I really wanted to. seeing them onstage later for their performance, I realised just how good they are, and I feel a very great sense of pride for them. they really worked hard, to get their coveted gold for their SYF, and even though it isn't gold with honours, I believe they can work even harder and do their very best for SYF 2009. seeing shermin play the xylophone for jericho, especially the running notes at one point, made me realise just how good she is at running notes, which means I need to practise even more to get even better. and somehow, it kind of reminded me of the time when I was onstage, playing the running notes for 7th night of july 2 years ago at SYF 2005.
CMB Percussionists: If you see this, I just want you to know that I'm really proud of you guys! jiayou and work harder, and strive for the best in whatever you do, and be determined to excel! =D
met seha and jocelyn at css too, haven't seen them for ages ever since seha left jj to go ac, and jocelyn, since cmb syf, when they were waiting for the results. and now she's in poly, with a scholarship too. =D congrats to you! =)
photos for cmb performance would be up soon, cos all the photos taken over the last 3 days are still in my handphone and not uploaded in my computer yet. and this is bad news for my memory card, cos it's always running out of space.
I just realised that I'm suddenly nuts over ross roy. considering that I had the recording since sec 3 in my computer, but I just don't really like the piece. I keep listening to the recording on my phone, listening out for the percussion, clarinet, trumpet and saxophone solos, and trying to piece it together in my mind without looking at the score, so that the next time we play this piece again, at least I wouldn't be glued to the score all the time.
