An eventful Friday...

Today was a rather eventful day...

First was history and we did comparison between sources... IT's SO HARD!!! sigh... till now i still dunno how to do comparisons... first must have common ground, den similarity and differences... But wat's common ground?? Aiyah... nvm... no point toking about stuff i dont noe about...

so... next was geog... Yet another boring lesson... we onli went thru the geog quiz and i got onli 14.5/20... BOO HOO... Well, average for 2H is 12 and sec 2 cohort is 10... But, 14.5 is nothing to be proud of... Edward got 17 lah and CY got 17.5... bah... ok...

so next was sci... sci was quite interesting as we learnt about transcription n translation... it was quite hard but still fun...

den, maths... we got back our CCT and i got 30/30... ahahaha... yet another full mark... i think more den 75% of my maths tests are full marks and i have never got lower den 80%... ahaha... so ego.... well, edward and cy also got full marks and jaryl got 29.5... hahaha... den we did some prac qns for maths and sch ended... den i played xiang qi with jaryl... i was winning him when suddenly i let him chou my ju... aiyah... so sad... den i lost... hahaha... boo... okok... nvm...

Next up was... WEIQI... yay... i replayed the game i played with SH last week and learnt a few ding shi... den, i played with him again and once again, i lost... hahaha... SH is too pro... but, he says that i have improved... haha... yay... improvement...

Den, CO was as usual... first nan er... I screwed up da gu and got a sound beating and scolding from BL... hahaha... and once again his scoldings included... ahem... nvm... hahaha... well, after that, we played stupid pieces like hua hao yue yuan and matsuri where i didnt screw up... hahaha... but it sounded crap... den, we played long2... It was ok, and the sec 1s were laughing at how i played the triangle... grr... how dare them... hahaha... lionel saw it and went to scold them... hahaha... and i finally managed to play the mu yu without the scores... hahaha... actually, it's onli my second time trying mu yu, so it isnt exactly finally... haha... ok... next up, feng nian ji... NO!!! I SCREWED UP... AND VERY VERY BADLY TOO... bah... i hate the 8 bars rite at the start of the repeat bar... i can never play it properly... sigh... well, actually feng nian ji is my busiest piece as im playing xylo, mu yu, gong... actually, i can also play the cha but nvm... that's taken by lionel... hahaha... urm... and so prac ended...
Oh, and there is an RICO concert on 6/11... we will be playing feng nian ji (NOO!!!!), matsuri, long teng, long, huan xin++ maybe hua hao yue yuan also lah... not very sure... but, the main problem is long teng... there are 9 instruments, namely timp, 2 dagu, 2 xiao gu, soloist (paigu), shi mian luo, xiao bo and luo... AND we onli have 9 players (thomas, me, YK, Cui Cheng, Chu Ming, Shu Jian, Zhao Jie, joshua and Tsu Ern...) Ok... u mayb thinking that 9 players 9 instruments... juz enough... but... all the parts are quite hard... so, my plan is... thomas - soloist, YK and me - dagu (with YK or me playing mu yu), Tsu Ern -Timp, Cui Cheng and Joshua- xiao gu, Cui Cheng - xiao bo , Joshua - luo, Chu Ming - shi mian luo... yep.. think that's it... hope it succeeds... den...

As for other songs:
Feng nian ji will be normal with me - muyu + xylo, thomas - timp, YK and Tsu Ern - dagu, Cui Cheng/Joshua - cha, Chu Ming or Tsu Ern - tambourine?... yar...

Matsuri... ooh.. me - dagu, YK - muyu, thomas - paigu, lionel/Tsu Ern - Timp..., Cui Cheng - shake... ahahaha.. okok... den...

Huan xin? not sure wat parts there are so onli noe i'll be playing bongo drums... but since we dont have this kind of drums, it will be dagu + one of the paigu...

Long... Me - triangle (boo... i wanna take timp...), YK - muyu + gong, Thomas - timp, Tsu Ern - vibraphone...

And if there is hua hao yue yuan... thomas - timp, me - muyu, YK - tambourine, Tsu Ern/GY - cha?...

Yup... think that's all lah... hahaha... there will be a song where onli sec 1s will be playing... think they will screw up that piece one... ahahaha... urm... den... some solos and ensembles but no percussion ones cuz we already have long teng and matsuri...

So basically, i will be playing dagu x2 (LT/MAT), triangle(LONG), xylo(FNJ), muyu x2/3(FNJ/LT/HHYY), bongo drums (HX) which will be changed to dagu and one of the paigu... yay... that's quite a lot to play... hahaha... wont need to feel as if im slacking too much this time... but, i think if i have a more eventful concert next time, there shld be a paigu and timp included in the list... and if possible... DRUM SET!!! haha... okok... nvm... that will take a long time... ive been prac-ing on long teng solo part and im proceeding quite well... hahaha... NEXT UP... PAIGU AND TIMPANI...

And there is course briefing for the choosing of subjects in sec 3 tmr... think i have 3 choices lah... tri sci + his (70%), tri sci + geog (25%), chem+phy+geog+his (5%)... and im still considering whether or not i wanna take jap as 11th subject... haha... Hm...

There is also oral comm... haha... im the co-director in the drama production... haha... so proud to be co-director... hahaha... there shldn't be oral comm rehearsal tmr though cuz of course briefing...
