NDP rehearsal pics in no particular order!
batch 79 band A people plus extra timothy XD
red lions!!!!
crowded backstage!!!
red lions again! i used to love them when i was a kid!
hahaha video with green screen!!!! havent add in backdrop image xD
screen testing..the eye idea (hurhur) is quite interesting but i have no idea what it means till today
yay stage transformation!
fanfare trumpeters getting ready!
me and my Eb o---iii------<()
leopard tank! dont mess with these guys man the firepower they have is oO
IR!
this is my view from the stage during the arrival of the president..scary D: imagine the parade ground filled with contingents, and then the grandstand filled with audience..man how to handle the stress???
all the mirrors on the stage backdrop
contingents marching out to the tune of "We are one" (see above)
haha i'm lazy to continue updating =\
oh well SAF day is coming up! hopefully i don't screw up?
which also means the end to my 1356 KFC days..now left with every saturday only..which is still quite bad but oh well...

random private business jet that came in..quite funky ah!
9v-SWO..the rank quite well designed ah!
the marina bay IR is coming up quite fast (:
(and to you-know-who, i swear i didnt do anything funny on the rooftop with abtzy!!!)

sigh i really cannot compose anymore! something's wrong with me D:
i need to slowly go sort this out man!
good news is i've finished winterstürme about 3-4 months ahead of schedule, which gives me alot more grace time to compose both my grade 8 list C piece and the ode to VCH (which i need a name for, instead of just ode to VCH)
howhowhow D:
i need to start taking more photos too! my blog is getting picture starved
NS deprives me of phototaking opportunities because of the no camera thingy!
going to try practising Barat's fantasy in Eb minor for my list B instead!
why am i typing in single sentences!
ooh there's this big moth in the house xD
my mum is nagging again..rawr...
silverado has hardcore horn stuff man!
okay i really need to start thinking of themes for the piece..i dun even know what to call it!

bandersonics is over! thats about halfway thru my concert season! still got 2 orchestral concerts to prepare for ahaha
anyway i think i played decently for the concert, but it was rather immature playing =\ i need to er find a way to be less emotional/high/no control when i play...and also a way to keep my chops in shape throughout the concert =\
and omg my solos were all badly played D: i feel sorry for mr lim coz i made an anticlimatic mispitch at a point of great emotional intensity..damn killjoy!!!!
oh well

yay i have finally graduated from training wing! feels good to be in band A somehow, dunno why but oh well!
thanks batch 79 for the wonderful times we've had for the past 8.5 weeks and the wonderful singing for galaxy express xD
wont be blogging much over the next month because of stay in period..
and to someone special..thanks for being there for me over the past few days when i've been really stressed =\ you have been fabulous and i'm very very grateful (:
oh well time for me to go slp i guess...
BYEBYE BOOTS, DOUBLE SOCKS, GARTERS, NO. 4 AND IRRITATING SLEEVES =DDD

i'm just hurt at how people can say "aiya graduation only, anyhow play la!"
i'm just upset at how people fail to see every performance as important as the other, and to put in their utmost effort, because there are people doing so, and because of these selfish people, the whole thing falls apart and the effort put in by people who are serious will just go down the drain
i don't care if it's just internal, or just graduation, or we're performing to an audience that could possibly smaller than our batch itself, but it's still a performance after all
a mature musician is one who doesn't evaluate the importance of performances, but one who treats all of them equally seriously, that is music making with professionalism!
only when we treat the music seriously then we can really have fun and enjoy the music..
sorry for the rant

went for the philyouth - SSO concert! another great phototaking opportunity but batteries decided to give up really prematurely..so here's what i think should be worth appreciated (:
philyouthon stage..miking was badly done, but the band played well (:
this is like my fav shot of the day! so natural!
dunno why city hall and raffles place decided to be hip and change the colours for the door thingy
and hahah nice one (:
anyway i played for vj strings the 3rd time in a row, but this time it was rather special! this concert brought back a few people closer to me, like sweejin, whom i remember auditioning for RJ DSA, and getting accepted but screwed up RJ took only sports that year, then i also met rachel tan, who is wenrong's junior, and i taught her like 2 years ago for their SYF also! I also accomplished a not so amazing feat of playing 1st for everything which i totally died!
sigh i'm getting slightly stressed up over graduation bleahhhhh
i shall greet you tomorrow with a smile (:

i'm pissed with myself for being an inconsistent player..and i have no idea why i have to have this kind of erm fate? sigh i jsut suck ):
and i cant think of any new ideas for harmonic progression! even if i try and copy and paste sometimes it doesnt make sense!
rawr what i fear may be like some musical period of me dying out, which is bad because i've already set my mind on doing music, for the passion and the love of it, and for the future generations too!
which is also why i'm giving theory lessons yay!
augmented 6ths and secondary dominants are starting to bore me..i need better ideas ):
time to work byebye

hmm havent blogged in a long while!
i'm halfway through my ordeal hahaha
hmm listened to a very refreshing intepretation of tchaik 5th, but unfortunately the 2nd movement wasn't played with much meaning? SSO made it so much more bittersweet! but the brasses were fantastic..like for once harmony in the trombone melodies at the codettas of the 1st mvt could be heard! i mean like WOW! it's just so wow! really interesting intepretation haha caught my ears throughout (:
grieg piano concerto just reminds me of "air on banana" xD
haha and xiaojia was telling me how much she loved rach piano cnocerto no. 2 also..aww so sad why did u miss the lucerne festival orch performance on okto! adng pple u all shld watch okto every saturday (or at least check out what concert is being aired) evening!
practical assessment this thursday..hmm i'm getting abit scared haha! i wonder if i can actaully play properly..still got alot of problems leh =\
oh i realised i'm actually improving slightly! or maybe it's jsut the VJ dunno what room's echoey acoustics that make me soud much better..oh well
i need to continue work on the rwinds piece soon ><
oh and there's still graduation indoor performance..gd job
the weather these days are horribly unfriendly ):

hmm i wonder why i still agreed to play for VJ although deep inside me i'm protesting..ah well for my VJ friends i guess..like jinhao, claire, joel...hmm oh well see how it goes i guess i've already been roped in!
it's a good chance for me to erm make up for the danzon screw up last year
SOLO TAKE TWO!
a random thought "when the cold wind blows" can be replaced with "when the ocean glows" and sound pretty much the same xD
anyway good luck to AMB for thursday! rmb that i as a senior will spiritually be supporting u guys all the way! rmb my challenge! and to my dear trumpet juniors, i'm really happy to have seen u guys grow and mature in your playing and i'm very proud of u guys! all the best (:

hmm this block leave has been full of ups and downs..and it's going to be over so fast! oh well at least it's back to band life for me..
and yes i got rid of the irritating Virut virus that has been hogging my com for 98245987345 days!!!
ahhh listening to takarajima from the a tempo recording now (yeah u hear it everytime u come this place) sigh brings back wonderful memories..the days i was with my batch, playing with them, conducting them for various small performances...sigh i relaly miss school band life..it meant so much more!
so to all bandits (or bandolier in some cases ;D) treasure your time in band now! make the most of it, so that u can look back and smile, and know that u have left a legacy behind by playing good music!
gosh i can feel my iris dilating due to sleepiness *___*
okay i think i shall go slp..
