Haha.. i'm back again as the last day of the week where my last post was.. Nvm if u dun get it.. its a good feeling to be back again after being deprived of blogging for one week.. Why deprived u may ask, its because my connection the internet has been failing me alot lately, hope it doesen't happen again...

Anyway, its 2 days to the o' level mother tongue papers and i should not be here.. Good luck to all those mugging really hard so that they would clear it the first time round. Remain calm yeah, its easier to remeber things...

Went for the SAF Central Band concert yesterday with guest conductor James Barnes. He's no stranger to the band scene in Singapore as many of us play his pieces.. Alvamar Overture, Fanstasy Variations, Lonely Beach, and many more.. His works were played by renowned wind orchestras such as the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra who had published 3 cds of his works... He was older than i had expected him to be.. Well, must be all the conducting... The highlight of the night was the premier performance of the piece he had composed; Festive Music For Singapore.. Very nice piece. If u were expecting the piece to be filled with the usual folk songs of olden Singapore, then u are worong, it does not contain a single tune of any folk, it describes Singapore's past and present. Go hear it if u have a chance, u wouldn't be disappointed. Before the concert, i was looking forward to the performance of the piece "Fantasy Variations". For those who didn't noe, its a piece where James Barnes composed twenty variations on a theme by the famous violinist; Niccolo Paganni.. Can see that the band operates on a rather professional basis. There are some very good individuals.. Not bad spending my time that can be used to study chinese to go for the concert.. Worth it.

Didn't go out at all today, tomorrow i'll be going to church in the morning and then to the bookstore to buy pens for monday.. Haha, i know, a little kiasu right? But i dun have any good pens with me now..

Heard that the band wasn't functioning very well without the sec 4s. I hope i can settle everything when i get back and get thm on the right track. All the sec4s that will be staying for 2006, i urge u to do something when u see something wrong, tell the leaders, den if that dosen't work, take matters into ur own hands. Dun let the band deprove right before your eyes. I know its hard when most of ur batch mates are gone and its not the same when u go for band anymore, but find the strength to carry on. The Band is more than a social group. Its where childern become adults. Its where u have brothers u never did. So keep the fire burning, support the band whenever u can. May the legacy live on.

That's all i guess. Thanks for reading..
