this week has been pretty bad for me so far. and it's only tuesday!

i kinda got singled out by mr glosz yesterday during tuning. i don't know what went wrong with me, i just suddenly couldn't play my tuning note properly. and my old reed was chipped so i was using a new one. he heard my horrible note and started telling me to do this do that. i was just so frustrated/worried/ nervous/bewildered/embarassed. i laughed it off and told ansley and esther that it must have been the "monday blues" but in actual fact, i felt absolutely depressed. sigh.

whatever lah.

then today, i woke up late with a stomachache (and no, john chew, it wasn't big aunt or whatever you called it). must have been the grapes i had eaten the night before. we were supposed to have sectionals (very important, cannot miss) so i kinda dragged myself to school despite the on-off pain.

sectionals. sigh i feel damn guilty. we were supposed to practise our ensemble pieces. the slower piece was okay, but there was this fast-paced one which i had trouble catching up with the rest.
due to my lousiness, a decision was made to abandon that piece. ahhh i feel so bad! i feel like i'm hindering the saxtion's progress. SIGH.

you know, they even considered letting me play baritone sax for that piece cos the notes are easier. i tried lah, but it needed too much air from me. so the plan failed. on a brighter note, just now we kinda went out of our minds and started exchanging our instruments for fun. so i got to try bari, tenor and sop! the sop sax looked super delicate in yisiong's hands haha. and people started laughing at us. okayyy. but i still prefer my alto sax to everything else. sorry lah! (:

anyway, i'm feeling kinda feverish now. ahhhh. i think i'm falling sick. maybe i shouldn't have gone for the blood test just now. i can feel the heat on my wound. and mind you, my stomachache hasn't gone away yet. *frowns unhappily*

so that pretty much sums up the past few days of my holidays. hopefully the following days will be better.

ohyes. i also wanna say thank you elissa! for making me feel better yesterday. and thank you yyj! you're like the only one in band who really really understands how i feel. chins up okay? let's continue smiling to the world like nothing has ever happened.

oh and have i said this before? i LOVE the saxophone feature in fantasy variations! (:
