When the daji-ians go marching in/on

hihi...
Havent blogged for the past 2-3 days. Well, nothing much honestly has happened. Here are the main events that happened on mon and tue:

1. CCA
2. CIP

Yes. And the two activities summed up my 2 days. The first, CCA. Went for prac at RJCO room at 335 and got told off (not really scold lah, just sarcastic remark on y im late) by LSH for being late by 5 min. Like WOW. Im SO LATE. haha. ok. den, we moved on to prac the ensemble piece. The piece looked relatively easy but i could not play 1 part. And that part was the same as matsuri dagu. haha. dunno y i cant play lah. i think prob. becuz of the cha and luo, i cant even hear wat im playing. Also, the yangqin sec 1 who came to help us in the ensemble was at times offbeat and i became rather distracted by it. Well, in the end, when mr ngoh left at 530, he was rather angry (or sad) that we took so long just to prac a piece. Actually, i think it's his fault that we took so long. Here's prove:

From 330 to 530: we prac onli 8 times? mayb even less. yar. but he was toking more than we were playing.
From 530 to 615: I led the ensemble and we just kept continue playing, pausing for around 30s after each prac. During those 30s, we would point out the mistakes (usually lionel makes mistakes) and den we try to correct it in the next try. I must say it was really effective n 4 the first time 4 a very long time, i think prac was meaningful. It was a very nice prac. Whenever i wanted to start, i would just play the first 5 bars of my solo n suddenly everyone will become quiet and join in. even yin kwan didnt really protest until 615 when he wanted to go home. tsu ern was also very commited and so was lionel. i think the prob with daji is that our roles are either too slack or too hard. If it's too slack, we wont need 2 prac. If it's too hard for us, we push it to other ppl like thomas to play it. So, no need for prac... not sure lah. but whenever i c sec 1s, i feel so bad holding them back to 530 with them doing nothing for most of the 2 hr bcuz they can onli play naner. Sigh...

So, that was CO prac. tue was CIP at pathlight. We were doing library work at the library at pathlight school. I must say that it was really shocking when i walked inside the library. It looked more like a bookshelf to me. Honestly. The whole library is made up of 2 bookshelfs. Sigh. Well, we started on our work which was to cut and paste "date due" paper onto 500 new books donated by the NLB, fold and paste an envelop onto the books as well to put the library cards. We also had to make 500 library cards. Well, I was in the envelop section and for the 1st 1 hr, i did nothing but folding. Sounds boring? Not really. It was a really FUN and enjoyable experience as we were talking about all sorts of things. Me, YJ and aaron and sometimes rich and jaryl. haha. well, we talked about pri sch, RI, RI vs other sch, pri sch vs pri sch. Aiyah. all sorts of things lah and jaryl was playing songs on his hp as well. Well, it was rather fun folding and talking at the same time. haha. we were laughing all the way esp. me, yj and aaron. We all came from rather gd pri sch, namely kong hwa (yj), maris stella n st andrew (aaron). We were comparing our pri sch and which was our best year, what our achievements were, what we did as prefects, what is ur academic achievement etc. Here are some fast facts that i rmb from the discussion:

Yar... That was just some of the things discussed. haha. it was fun noe-ing more about each other and their schools. So, after folding for 1 hr, we started pasting onto the books. After that, we did quality control and checked that the library card could fit into the envelop. Finally, at 630, we finished our work. We did a total of 4hr of CIP... haha. wonderful!!! Well, aaron n i went home by 410 and it was really crowded. So many ppl were going to guang ming shan. sigh. aiyah. okok. enuff of crap. tmr still have medical appointment + rehearsal. BYE
