i went to school at 12.45pm today! trying to get into school with lilian was a freaky yet exciting experience. we saw ben behind the gate from the sas bridge and he was frantically gesturing for us not to proceed lest we get caught by the guard. ruth was in there too. but we succeeded in the end. thank God.
so what did i go to school for when i could have stayed at home? band of course! prac was fine for me today. mr glosz went down today and the sheer presence of him scared the wits out of alison eunice and me. he heard me playing my scales on his way out of school and he said i "made a good sound"! boy was i honoured. wished he had commented more so i can improve but he didn't.
and you know what? they're axing "you raise me up" from the repertoire! my heart broke when i learnt about it. but as what eef said, at least i've learnt something. i've learnt the importance of counting the beats, which i'm still struggling at. andrew told me yesterday that i don't have
the pulse. maybe i should really get a metronome and sleep listening to it every night.
anyway, something amusing happened. i met jinhui at the watercooler just now and he suddenly told me that he met my dad. i was so shocked. like what's the connection man? then he said he went teck ghee one day in his sa uniform and my dad saw him. so my dad asked him whether he knew me. haha jinhui said he was stunned when he heard my name. it's such a coincidence! and the way he said it was so funny can! in fact, the mere sight of him already tickles me. hahaha. i still can't believe he was the clarinet sl of the rv-band! and he likes art. he's seriously one book that cannot be judged by its cover.
there she goes
