Sunday, November 8, 2009 35th Band NCO Camp 2009 POP

I have stopped uploading photos cos it took me 10 minutes just to get 5 picturs up!!!!!
its gonna take me 100++++ minutes to get all the pictures up, facebook is more more effecient!
welllllllllllllllllllllllllll, 5 long days of sun & rain has passed...
& the joys & tears have also passed...
the 35th Band NCO Camp is definitely the greatest camp i've ever attended this 15 years of my life, & it might probably be the greatest! (:
its totally BOOMZ!!!
how greater will it be if it was overnight!
well, this post shall be focused on POP.
we had the final rehearsals in the morning, & lunch.
afternoon was slacking time! :)
well, the running about getting numbers & autograph was really fun! :D
we changed into our uniforms & then began having a photo marathon! :DDDDD
well, the photos are in facebook, & its gonna take 10 years to upload it up here...
it was closing down on POP, & i actually shed tears while hugging Hafiz.
he shed tears too after receiving the gift i had for him.
that moment was that emotional...
5 days have build up our friendship to the extent that as though we have been friends for 50 long years...
no exaggeration!
we were sooo bonded!
thats cos this unique situation in which we are in the same position amidst different background serves as a good foundation for us to be ONE.
well, we marched out, POP is beginning...
i was sad & happy at the same time..
sad that its ending, happy that we are about to step into the greatest moment in our life!
POP begins.
we marched off, the parade goes on.
the display, although i made a fool of myself with a mistake, i really dont care about it cos i'm too overjoyed! :)
after display 1 we cheered on display 2.
after that, is the moment that i will remember in the bottom of my heart for the rest of my life.
that moment, was the best moment that i have ever had!
the drum majors were cheering on the band majors.
at rocky we were clapping, at ponyo we began to swing & dance.
halfway through ponyo, this is where its no longer ONE BAND ONE SOUND.
this time, its 141 BANDS, 1 SOUND!!!!!
i can remember that moment oh so clearly.
we were arms around shoulders, all every drum majors, in 2 rows along the track.
on my right was Hafiz, on my left was Mian Jun.
arms over shoulders, we were singing, cheering, swaying, dancing, laughing, tearing...
at that moment i felt, i love life so much!!!!!
this is the moment perseverence in life leads up to!
this is the moment where hardwork pays off!
this is the moment where you know what is celebration!
that moment, will always be in my mind & heart forever.
i remember after that we hugged each other...
every hug that we hug, its telling the person: "i'm gonna miss you my dear friend",
cos every hug was that emotional...
i remember sheding tears...
not only me, but others, guys too...
the most painful part of that day ws the goodbyes...
every goodbye said was a sting in the heart...
but we know we will meet again. (:
after that went to find the kranjians, & had pastamania dinner together. well, to some of my greatest NCO buddies.

Saturday, October 31, 2009 Music Day

wellll, it was a great musical dayy! :D
had theory exam in the morning.
well, there are 2 psb academy buildings in tiong bahru,
& i actually went to the wrong one with 10 minutes from exam starting time!
no choice, so i had to cab over to the other building...
well, the paper was quite easy. :D
the much-feared italian terms turned out to be something that i'm familiar with. :D
well,a fter that went to ntu to meet Isaac to help him with his project,
recording an arranged music for ensemble.
there was piano, violin, cello, glockenspiel & timpani.
thats a great brand new experience for me! :D
ensemble playing is really cool! :D
its bigger than solo & duet so it has more features, & its smaller than band or orchestra so every part has more parts to shine! :D
but well, i think i still prefer playing in band, that is, if i get to play the double bass.. hahas. :D
ooooooohlalalala! :D
i'm so bored!
NCO camp is in less than 2 days, or 34 hours! :D
gotta meet dozens of dozens or maybe hundreds of new friends! :DDDDDDD
yippeee! :DDDDD
& POP is in less than a week's time! :D
so excited. :D
