Yes Peee... I saw your tag.. hahaha.
Before I continue with my NP band string of posts.. here's a little sidetrack:
Went to the PSS2 Grand Finals last Sunday. It was interesting, Kwan's tickets were really good.. we sat quite near the stage, and boy was I retarded man. Hahaha. Though I'm not usually like tt, I was screaming and cheering for uhhh.. people I didnt know hahha.
Cos I took tickets from the guys, it automatically meant that I had to sit on Daren's side. Haha. Although of course I had two Daren supporters by my side.. We all thought Diya did better, but of course Daren still won in the end. His supporters were like -.- super hard core ardent supporters man. But aiya it was still a good show. With pple like Cao Ge singing "live" my gosh i was BLOWN AWAY lo! oh and i acted like a complete idiot and screamed like a die-hard fan when he turned around to say "hiii" to my section. you have no idea... pabo! as janelle always says ahaha.
Ahhh. Being the superstar and standing on stage must be a fantastic experience. heh but I'm not one of them. I experienced the stage in a completely different way, and loved it too.. love love love... I really miss the stage.....
Coming back to BANDDDD.
I miss playing on stage. I miss Victoria Concert Hall. I miss NP Convention Centre (albeit the sucky acoustics). I miss the music room.. I even miss running in and out of SDAR.
I MISS BAND. I MISS MY AH LAO!!!! omg~ the golden beauty, passed down to me by my dear senior Wilson. I can never forget my beautiful instrument.... WHERE'S MY FRENCH HORN, DUDE?!
hahaha I was a bit mad there. hmmmm. ya, I really miss the band experience. The performing, the handling of events, the super funny (trying to be serious) scoldings I gave to the band (got them all laughing at me), all the rushing and all the fun I had with my music. -cry-
Ok let's talk abt my friends now. First and foremost, my darling sista Peee:
Ratty in the house!! heh, on my second visit (there was a 3-month gap from the first to second) to NP band prac, I met this girl... we instantly hit it off! Power right, I was already talking to her a lot a lot. she of course took the initiative to talk to me first and get me used to the horn section. then, it was still me her and fatt in year1, with justin and wilson. heh. It was fun then! Our section was the best la, I felt. tho i had a lot of catching up to do.. heh.
when Justin & Wilson left, Peee Fatt and I were left to struggle on our own. Thankfully, Fatt being an excellent player, gave me a lot of motivation. Me and Peee often practiced together. With the seniors around we played ALL the same parts. Then I moved on to the mid-range to higher parts like 1st & 3rd horn, cos I was better in those notes, while Peee was a good base. All this time I was also training my lower notes (which i became better at by third year). Heh. We really had a ball of a time together, the three of us. We really stuck together like glue, for the sake of the section. Of course me and Peee were definitely a lot closer la, compared to Fatt with us. Then Nickszeto entered. then we had horn quartet! heh. we sounded good okay... Canon, my fav piece! heh.
Anyway, Peee and I just stuck together all day long, it was so fun having her around! She taught me mandarin and I taught her english. we trained each other, but she trained me more in mandarin. So i really owe my better mandarin speaking to her (and later on YY also helped me la). heh... everyone knew us as sistas. We shared a really close friendship in band.. huh? =D I miss you Peee!!!
We had this piece that had a movement called "Ratty & the Mole" and I mean obviously since she was Ratty, and Mole was supposed to be (in the story) the Rat's best friend, I was named the mole la.. durh. heh. Our adventures since year1 were absolutely uncountable. From the days tt the other seniors and other band pple hated us, to us becoming friends with all of them, to us growing into second-years and all, haha it's been an amazing journey.
Omg and Peee introduced me to the world of tonning hAHA. We have a fantastic tonning-kaki group of friends, all of whom Peee actually introduced to me. We have Jaz, Jason Goh, Ling Qian, Adam, Karto, Peee and Myself (Cheng Danny n Zhihui joined in later).
Boy was it fun fun fun!!! They bullied Peee a lot hahaha. Peee gets bullied a lot anyways. hor peee?
But I love Peee. heh... =)
I'll blog abt the rest later... bu yao xin ji!
