Planning

hey!
Today was rather bad. I'm so going to fail my math TA. damn. ah... Math RA is proving to be so hard... especially cuz of the time. I knew how to do all the questions but all the questions were so long and required so much working and they were given so little marks. >< ahh... at least i don't sound as bad as Lumpy who seems to have only gotten 1 mark for his TA according to his analysis. I think my highest I can get is 7. and upon 10 that's bad... sigh sigh sigh... But nvm, I shall jian chi xia qu! Perseverance! I shall not quit like I did for jap. haha. Anyway, today also marked SYF rehearsal at SCH. Skipped the last 2 lessons of school though that's nothing to be proud for. Got to copy notes when I get to school tomorrow. SYF rehearsal went ok I guess. We are at around bronze-silver standard now which is BAD. haha. Thomas was suggesting changing the name of COP (certificate of participation) to CLoL (Certificate of Laughing out Loud). like LOL, u flail. haha. Well, I think I've got to work on my timpani rolling skills if I'm going to be able to play wind's crescenti. haha. I hate rolling, especially on the timpani. I only like rhythm. Sigh. haha. nevermind then. Anyway, Thomas, Yin Kwan and me were crapping dumb jokes ON STAGE. I mean it ON STAGE. haha. We were like laughing all the way as we were practicing. Not something to be proud of once again but it was really funny. We were just too bored especially since we couldn't sit down. haha. We craped dumb jokes and laughed at all the screw-ups of ours or other sections. haha. and we were counting the number of people in our orchestra as compared to the orchestra in the audience seats (they were next to rehearse). My my... We had around 65 and they had 100+. AND for our 65, there are around 10 or more who hun4 so that doesn't really help. Thomas said we should make the orchestra only have 40 people. Better to have a small orchestra playing together than a large one playing like crap. Point taken. haha. Anyway, I was once again wearing my jacket =D. haha. Look so cool! It has become a sort of a trademark. No more can't find Patrick cuz he's too short cuz u will obviously notice his yellow and blue jacket! haha. oh, and Yin Kwan screwed up big time for one of his mu yu notes. HAHA. Damn funny... And he pat-ed my shoulder after that major screw up. haha. shi bai shi bai. Lol. N Tze Ern screwed up a bit too but other than that not much lah. I realise I'm becoming a pro in triangle. I make myself look so cool playing the triangle. OH YES. one of the lame jokes I crapped up: I think I'm definitely good enough to play the triangle for SCO given my experience and full-time training of this prestigious instrument. LOL. lameness to the ultimate level. But for timp, I'm not so sure. Still got to train. If cannot I'll just take Thomas' xylo part and he take timp. Xylo is actually harder but less ji ben gong required so yar... oh and Yin Kwan did realise that we 3 were not really concentrating on the practice and suggested: Do you think we should up our seriousness level? Maybe we could go from 0 to 1. LOL. my god... lameness again. hahaha. and the sheng section is screwing up big time. sigh... the instrument is hard to play, but not that bad rite? They always screw up at the exact same spot and always go down by an octave before going back to the correct note. sigh. haha.

Oh and this is a riddle from Cui Cheng:
Three men go to a hotel. The hotel rent is $30 so each man pays $10. However, the hotel manager later realizes that the rent is only $25 so he returns $5 to the 3 men. The 3 men give $2 back to the hotel manager because of his honesty. Thus, each man paid $(10-1) = $9 each. The hotel manager only has $2. 9x3+2 = 29. WHERE DID THE $1 FROM THE ORIGINAL $30 FLY AWAY TO?

haha. rather interesting question. I was stuck too until Joshua managed to correct my way of thinking. haha. see whether you all know the answer to this question.

k think that's all for now. Wanen is gonna kill me next sat. haha. I better be careful. Valentine's Day and CNY is coming. Happy celebrating these 2 joyous occasions! haha. I wanna get ferrero rocher!!

k bye den.
