Hmm as days goes by.... and i am adapting to the life in the Band things don't seem that bad after all. Going back after a super long weekend (sat, sun and mon, including tue mc 'leave' =P), dad gave me a ride to work as it was raining which gave me ample time to get to the white house and didn't have to rush like mad, thx dad...
Today was a rather simple day, mostly IP (individual practise, sad for me that i didn't bring along my flute) for the first half of the day, then in the afternoon after lunch went to the medical center to submit some form from the hospital and schedule for my physio... Was actually asked to undergo an operation for my shoulder, but that would have cost me my chance in performing for nyp in the concert as well as being posted out from the SAFband therefore i decided to turn down the offer and see how things goes... When i went back, joined the guys for drill lessons, practise on the drills that we are going to be tested... and i must say i am not bad in it liao... lolx... after drill lessons that day was over... heez life seems simple huh... well its not always like that, maybe its the holiday season that y its 'abit slack' after this week i guess its down to real business...
Yesterday band prac was quite fun... though i wasn't very satisfied with my own tone... but overall i can start to see improvement in the band, and i can also sense that lao shi's expectations are increasing after every practise... that is really great...well one thing is for sure... that is flute section have become stronger compared to when i first join the band... and everyone is practising really hard... really feels good to see such a thing happening... should say i seen its 'grow' in a sense... Just hope that this carries on and improve even more... Yawnz nothing left for me to blog liao.... juz wanted someplace to write some thoughts and what better place then blogger... heez.. alright cheers pple...

Xmas Weekend
HoHoHo... merry chirstmas... heez... know its abit late but since today entry is going to talk about my chirstmas so i tot i better send my greetings... better late then never i would always say...heez
Friday was a halfday working day.... practically rotting then 4 hours in camp (8 to 1230) had been told to do sectional at that very morning when i have not bring my flute as we were told the previous day we were suppose to have theroy lessons... anyway did a little reading of the scores anyhow...had it for 2 hours before the actual theroy lessons at 10, went through some papers before the day was over... and everyone make our move home and plans for later... was kinda bored therefore look for xiu, and we met up for a movie, "The Phantom of the Opera", very nice show i feel, was kinda moved by one of the scene, Xiu totally lost it seeing tears running down her chin non stop... before the movie we had swensens, been awhile since i had it... after the main course we even share a banana split too, was yummy. after the show we both went home to prepare ourselves as we are meeting later in the evening to go sasa's bbq at east coast. Brought 3 different alcohol for the occasion ( bailey's, tequlia and a coffee liqure which i haven't an idea wat the name is... heez.) finish the coffee one first as there was little left, was kinda good... then was tequlia everyone tried a shot, then had more when we play "zhong ji mi mah" with forfeit of "Truth, Dare, or Drink" its was really fun seeing some of them doing the Dare... couldn't stop laughing... Then Dennis came to meet up with us not long before we count down to christmas... after the countdown all of us happily left the pit for dennis's place... at his place we watch some tv before setting up the PS for a game of DDR, that is the first time i tried it... kinda fun, a good way to lose weight... to make things more interesting, we (Sherine and I) started taking shots of tequlia till we can hardly stand straight... was really funny looking at sherine drunk talk... then close to morning we all took a nap, i completely knocked out once i lied down... was kinda drunk but was really tired... woke up on Xmas morning with a sore back and neck... but recovered after a little stretching, had breakfast with dennis before making my was home for a shower and another nap...
That evening, i met up with xiu and sherine for a walk in town, decided to give breeks another chance, this time around its wasn't that disappointing as the service was better compared to the last time. Was thinking of catching a movie but was not successful as there wasn't a slots, so we did some window shopping before calling it a day... and that is Xmas day
Sunday i am a guai boi stay at home the entire day, did some self practise on my flute then in the evening went over to my uncle place for Xmas celebration, sort of a family gather... not sure why, but it doesn't seem as fun as it use to, maybe its because i have grown up and no longer that playful, got home at about 12 plus that night after the gift exchange...
Today, well have day off (courtesy of SAF band), when all my fellow buddies from BMT have to report back, i am slacking out enjoying the day away... Well did something quite fulfulling today, went back to school and gave sectional to my juniors (Adeline, Waileng and Feng Cheng), haha the session went for 3 hours and we only went through one piece of music, warm up and tuning methods... hopefully they found it useful, then i met up with Sherine and we all went to Jalan Kayu for some prata before going home... sherine brought camera so we had quite a fun time taking pictures... heez...
Anyway, this is my Xmas weekend, short and sweet... hahaha next week is New year... that will be a new chapter.. for now, juz wanna wish all a belated merry xmas and an advance happy new year!!!
