10:05 AM

Yesterday was crap.
I mean total, insane, disgustingly freakingly weird and gross.
Nah it wasn't that bad. I was just random. But it was bad enough.
It started off with me waking up half-an-hour late (staring at the cheesecake makes one woozy) and then hurriedly prepared the "cake" (because it looks. totally unappetizing).
So anyway, went to band late. Then found that the band room's lights are off. It's not that bad, because it gives some sort of ghostly ambiance to the whole place, but still fumbling for your file and instrument in the gloom doesn't make it easy to start a day well.
Then first period was Chinese. And he practically dumped work on me. 3 big projects to my weekend workload:
1)Chinese Current Affairs Research Paper (supposedly to be done in half a year, now concentrated to 2 days)
2)Stupid San Guo Yan Yi question-fabricating (supposedly to be done in the June Hol's)
3)Chinese Drama Competition Script (I have no idea, no inspiration and no intention to ask any of the drama presidents I know.)
So. Jiasheng is to be deemed. DEAD.
Like he isn't already.

On a more depressed (I was already depressed before mentioning this) note, band practice was duly cancelled because we had this stupid Harmony Cup which no one went.
So we just hung around in the band room and had mini concerts. We played Jap Graf X, Titanic Medley, Merry Widow, Pirates... then I found out this amazing thing that Bo Jun and Bo Xiang actually can remember every single score that they've played. It's like totally astonishing. Well maybe I'm the only one who doesn't memorize scores, but it still shocks me reeling. I can practically name any song and they can play it.
I've decided I'm going to be like them. Or else I'll always be stuck to my file.

Then I was feeling very tired and depressed because I had a deadline last night at 2359 and I just wanted to drag it (typical escapist). So I asked Qifann to take me to someplace for an hour so I don't have to remember about anything else.
He proposed that we go to Plaza Sing.. Not that I actually like the place, because it trigger very bad memories. But I guess it was still okay. We went around and we both realized we're very poor souls... because Qifann is left with 5 cents in his pocket while I have about 10 times: 50 cents.
So the two of us went to McDonald's.
I got us some fries and an EXTRAsmall coke. It's like super mini and cute and cheap (a buck) but somehow it got overfilled and it looked kind of sick with coke oozing out of the straw hole.
Nonetheless, after that we went to Yamaha and looked at the instruments. Plenty of interesting thing like cheap batons (I thought they were at least 100 something, but there was ones which cost within 10 bucks)
Then Qifann looked at the reeds while I took a glance at the mouthpieces which initiated this conversation with one of the salesmen there. Apparently he plays the trombone in Singapore Wind Orchestra and I asked him some questions about my mouthpiece because I'm using a Vincent Bach 1 1/2 G and it's super big. It saps alot of my breath and my high notes are not easy to reach. So it's rather torturous. And I can't switch back to my Yamaha that quickly, because my Yamaha mouthpiece (currently held by Zhitao) is size 48, which is about 5 G for me. Just a quick summary:

Currently using : Vincent Bach 1 1/2 G (Yamaha: 59; Dennis Wick:2AL)
Recommended to use by Ah Leng: Dennis Wick 3AL
Recommended to use by Salesman: Dennis Wick 4AL

But actually I'm just asking for fun because I guess I'm pretty much stuck with the mouthpiece. And it does train my breathing and volume so I guess it isn' t that bad after all.
Then Qifann and I played a bit on the piano the Avril intro of When You're Gone but somehow we still can't figure out the last part. Oh wells.
Then I taught him on major and minor chords and keys xD
Yep it was fun at the end.
So there, it ends my day. As in my happy day. The rest of the day (night) I was rushing to meet my deadline.

Work!
