Had a good talk with one of my band (Main & Rondeau) Comm bros, Sam, a few days ago...
Sorta just realised how much I miss band, I miss the 4 guys very much ar. So this post is dedicated to the 4 bestest guys who stuck out with me from the beginning of the main comm all the way till we finished up our Rondeau... Namely Merrill, Binster, Sam and Fatt the fisher..
(Dear Peee, Leen, Chengster and other good friends, it'll be your turn next!)
haha. Well let's talk about the NP Band days...
First guy I met was obviously Fatt.. my section mate. He was the boss of the Horns.. we had no Papa. I was the Mom, Peee the Rat and Leen the Nanny. We were later joined by our new SL ShuQin and our baby Brian. Hahaha. Shucks I miss my section and my "ah-lao" (my instrument la) so badly!!
Haha. So the guy is like one kinda black man... AND I THOUGHT HE WAS IN YEAR3 when i first joined the band! TOTALLY didnt know that he was same age as me lar. Haaa. Must be the pro-ness and the black face. He's a fantastic horn player. Also another source of motivation. One thing abt NPCB horns, we are one kinda synchronized! Esp my batch, when Fatt, Peee, Nick and I used to play the horn choir pieces like Canon and so on, we were very very syncronized la. Even with Leen and the juniors when we played the horn choir part for Harry Potter (yes the most scary piece ever.. the arranger had nth better to do, really), the whole section was always together. We were known for our ability to harmonize and go in tune. Esp me and Peee - we were always able to sync our pitching together.. haha. I miss all the music.. like mad.. But i bet i kinda lost it alr lar.
Well back to Fatt, he was like one of the most vulgar pple ever, all the hokkien and everything, but he's just like tt. totally not a bad guy or whatsoever. just vulgar. HAHAHAHA... hor fisherman?? =D So he was also the best player in the section (durh tt's why he was the boss what) and all... Since we all entered Main comm together, he was quite a responsible librarian. He LOVED choosing pieces to play. I mean, he really had quite a wide range of repertoires in his head okay.. he knew like nearly every other piece that we mentioned. Haaaa. crazy right? cos he's a band freak too. =P
Okay. We move on to Mr. President.. Merrill: He's damn potato-ish. JUST LIKE ME. When I went into the band, everyone hated me, everyone hated him. This guy is such a good trumpeter u see. Used to be the drum major of St. Pat's band. So when he came, he said some really stupid things abt the conductor (okay true comments but kinda suicidal) la. So everyone was like "who's this yaya-papaya year-1" and everyone thus did not talk to him. So a lot of pple didnt like me as well cos they thought i was yaya-papaya too cos I was from mass comm. the seniors had something against mass comm students.. i think? HAhaha. And of course pple like Mr Andrew Yap totally hated me too lar (but he loves me to bits now...). Andrew was damn bitchy, he bitched abt me like mad HAHA. So did I lar. but that was the past. okok, back to Merrill..
He started talking to me, and I thought he was nice lar. He didnt know one bit of chinese, neither did I haha (what I am now is very much thanks to Peee and YY). So we clicked very well.. I never did dislike the guy anyway... He was a damn great leader, he knew what he wanted, and of course he knew when he had to make decisions, and he trusted his vice & secretary to run things when he wasnt around either. Very Very Responsible, and I dare say that being under his leadership was an honour. Co-leading with him and the vice (Binster) was really really my pleasure. The band under his lead really really picked up.. we were sorta stuck in the dire straits because of a few irresponsible pple who left us to clean up the mess.. haha.
Now on to Wen Bin (known to me as Binster).. He was the Vice Pres of Main Comm, Chairman for Rondeau Comm..
He was the closest to me after we became the Rondeau Comm.. As we went thru the crap from school, from settling stuff for Rondeau, worked our butts off and really shared a lot of great memories. He was almost like a brother to me! Haha. Really listened a lot to each other. Had to, cos I was the secretary.. haha. So we had to work super closely with each other. No choice but to share the probs right, so we could get thru the Rondeau preparations well.. And actually I really realllllllllllllllly miss this guy.. (Please hor.. he's only my bro)...
And Sam, HE REALLLLLLY LET ME COMPLAIN... all the bu man and all the tao yan and all the mai yuan, all come out alr.. and Sam, I really feel a lot better! haha. Thank you bro.. I'm glad to have 4 of you as my buddies, and I'm glad to be the buddy of the 4 of you.. really. It was a fantastic time I had...
BTW ALL 4 of you... CALL ME LIM BABA SOME MORE LA. HAHAHA. 3 OUT OF 4 KENA PES BP RIGHT! HAHAHAHAHA. STILL CALL ME FAT AND BAH... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'M STILL LAUGHING!!! hahaha... =x
Aiya. I've to go for camp alr. Update again abt the rest soon....

Jkwan, this is for you ar! haha.
let me mention again. Last week's movie with JKwan was great. the movie plus the company.. hhaha (there you go!)
anyway, Happy New Year everyone!! It's been great knowing all you people, good friends of mine whether from FCBC, PL, NP Band, NP MCM, TPJC Band, SAJC Band, Work Place, wherever...
God Bless all of you!
Haa. ok let me continue with my post. New Year's Eve was spent at Expo, FCBC Youthnet Countdown Party - Retro themed. Whoa. I will post pics later on.. retro retro man! But it was all in the name of fun and EVERYONE was dressed fantastically! Haaaa I loved it! Fantastic time partying and hearing the plans for 2007. Spending time with the spiritual family.. AND SEEING JANELLE MAK AGAIN...
omg.. WELCOME BACK JANELLE MAK!!! I LOVE YOU! hahahha. Not to mention, thanks for forcing yourself into that hp accessories shop to get that HYUN BIN (was it?) keychain for me! wahahaha. I LOVE YOU!
Next on New Year's Day I spent the whole day with my family. In the evening, we were driving to my dad's friend's place - and we saw the biggest and clearest rainbow ever!!! I HAVE A PIC! omg. SUPER NICE. Makes me wanna sing, "Red and yellow and pink and green, Purple and orange and blueeee.. I can sing a RAINBOW, sing a RAINBOW, sing a RAINBOW too.."
I love that little tune. So pleasant, tho it's just about rainbow colours. pretty pretty!!
-----------------------------------------------------
Second Day of New year was quite funny:
Spent the day with JKwan again and of course Peixian.
Was quite crappy how we alllllll ended up late !! so just wwent for some sushi. After that we were supposed to head straight to Taka to take a look at watches - but HAaaa. All thanks to Jkwan and yours truly, we detoured to some other shops la. wanna shop wanna shop. HAA. We just couldn't stop!
If not for the fact that we had to reach mediacorp before 7 for the recording, I think we might have stuck in town for a rather long time. Heh.
Oh and we met Leon from last season's PSS too, and his voluptious girlfriend! Heh.
Well after that we headed straight to watch the recording, and I really have to say that this biasness thing is getting more and more apparent. Even as a viewer it is rather obvious..
Anyway maybe I'm not professional or what la. But i felt that Averil deserved a better grade than what she got, really.
Last night the guys' show was more entertaining actually. Wen Hai really rocked the place down man. I REALLLY enjoyed his performance. Haaa. I enjoyed Nat's performance too. Very cute very entertaining! haaaa
Supper at the prata house was okay la... eh Jeremy you're right, the prata is overrated man.. If Casuarina wasn't closed (sorry man. made u all go all the way there then closed, i felt darned guilty n rotten about it.. then you know la the call.. ok nvm just know i really felt quite rotten and paiseh ar.) i think you may like the prata at Casuarina.. haha.
Anyway, sorry for the bad mood both girls were in yesterday. think you didn't have a good time cos of that. Sorry ar. maybe i'll tell you about it later on la.. see i'm not being secretive at all hor. cheers!
-----------------------------------------------
The long weekend was quite shiok haa. At least my mind was off work for awhile.
But now I really am feeling a bit rotten... if my blog had the "Mood" Scale like Peixian's,
my mood would prolly be at 35% now.
