weehee. have just showered, after returning from school. music, that is! which was quite fun actually, despite the test. i passed with a b, i would think. anyhows, the chinese high guy finally came! his name is jason, and he's a basketballer, and he seems quite nice but awfully shy. well considering he's in a room with 8 girls and 1 pregnant woman (teacher) he cannot really be blamed.
anyhow, I DIDNT PERFORM TODAY! only xinyee did, actually. heh. we ended up not having time! and mine's postponed to t2w1, HAHA i feel darnedly shuang.
blogging is so irresistable, although i have a pile of work to do that'll last me to about 1+. groans. dont know if i can survive, kuz i had 3.5 hours this morning, which sucks, really. as in im still awake and energetic, but i know i cannot survive on just another 4.5 measly hours. grrr, whatever.
i realise that im very moodswing-y these days, which is quite a scary thing. as in i dont remember ever being this moodswingy. one moment im elated, one moment im pissed off, one moment im exhausted, one moment i feel inadequate, and another i feel guilty.
like right now, i feel awfully nostalgic. of primary 2-3 days, when huiyi, amanda, candice, jiawei and me were all in band, percussion. those days were seriously awesome, when band was very nearly the centre of my life. and nothing made me happier than going to band practice, hang around & chat to seniors.
(goodness i forgot their names though. i remember isaac, who was like WOW @ e drum set, & e tall thin guy who played bass drum, then the half jap guy who played timpani, and the girl who played bass drum or gong. and most of them could play the pitched percussion. and the auxiliary percussion! but mostly that was left to us juniors of course.)
when the seniors let us try the drum set, and i could do it & was so proud of myself. when in lord of the dance, i was given a break fr auxiliary, & i got to play e vibraphone, i was e happiest person on earth. & when i got to play the glockenspiel (affectionately called bell) for 'together', i was i dont know. in second heaven. sigh. then when recording, 'lord of the dance' - which is a pure percussion piece (ALLITERATION!) took the shortest time, 2 hours, and all of us were gloating about it.
those were the days. and theyre gone.
and maybe thats why i want a marimba so desperately.
oh, and im so glad to still have the band cd, in good condition. listening to it makes me want to laugh and cry and talk and write. and it makes me feel old. so now i understand why old people feel miserable so much. because they finally realise that all their times gone are only in their memories, and when those memories are gone as well, they'll have absolutely nothing.
