So..........woke up relatively early today cos was supposed to have guitar practice in TJ.......so made my way to the custom at ard 8.20 and by the time i reached Marine Parade (cos i wanted to deal wif sum stuff at the bank) it was already ard 10.30.......dats like 2 hours of journey.......den cudn't settle my stuff at the bank cos went there on the wrong day and by the time i reached sch it was already 11.30...........and prac was supposed to start at 9.00 am hahaha.....! I was super late..........
But den as i entered Mozart Room (our guitar room), Xinying told me dat they have a serious question to ask me..........and dat was even be4 i got to sit dwn after taking out my guitar........so i guessed as much dat it must be sth to do wif our performance lar! And lo and behold they were actually asking me abt my opinion for our performance........cos all of them (Xinying, Yoke Pei, Jun Qi, Hui Ying and Clara) were all working and we were only free on Sats but since the concert is not too far away (25th of May i tink) they weren't confident of the standard of our performance........esp when there's so few of us and anyone making a mistake would be VERI obvious..........and they esp din wan their last guitar performance to suck....... (cos most of us dun feel dat we will get a chance to perform a guitar piece on stage again after leaving TJ)
Well.........since i hardly practiced obviously i noe wat they mean.......esp after spending 2 years in guitar club i noe how impt it is to make sure our performance reaches a certain standard or else it wud just be redundant.........so.......finally we decided to give up on it.........aneway the juniors have more than enuf items for the concert so it wun hurt for us to back out aneway :P
We started gossiping after dat (cos we had nth to do......i was polishing my guitar while chatting wif them) and they started to mention abt the juniors......apparently they weren't having many activities and the year 1 intake wasn't reaching the supposed target........all cos they were putting in too much time n energy for the SYF performance in which they scored Gold with Honours once again.......but at the expense of the Year 1's..........
All of us seniors can understand wat the new intakes are feeling cos we too went thru the same thing.......since the SYF is a biannual event and our year did not have it, most of the attention and energy were being channeled into the SYF prac and as a result we new intakes dun get to interact and communicate wif the seniors as much as we wud like to........basically practices are on our own wif only 1 senior being ard to guide us..........
But for this year's Year 1's it was worst cos the juniors went on to cancel sum major events in which has already sort of been a huge part of Guitar Club (or a tradition).........there was no valentines day dedication event..........and they hardly involve themselves in sum other events where they cud perform..........so basically the Year 1's wud just be practising for the concert at every single meeting..........dats like FREAKING boring.....!!!!!!! No wonder they have trouble retaining the Year 1's............
I mean these are the events dat allow the Year 1's to at least interact more wif the seniors! And also these are the events which are FUN!!!!!!!!! Without them i seriously dunno who wans to join guitar club at all.........
Later on we had lunch at Bedok KFC and xinying treated me cos she was feeling bad for making me go all the way there while we canceled the event in the end haha so free lunch! :P
Came bck later and spent 30 mins trying to hook the house keys frm inside the house cos my mum was out doing facial........den went to zenxin organic shop to buy sum stuff......i drove w/o bringing my license wif me.........den on the way bck nearly knocked into a motorcyclist cos i swerved to the right w/o checking the rear mirror......the motorcyclist (a malay) showed his middle finger at me and was constantly looking bck towards me "menacingly" until i made a gesture telling him i'm sorry......aiyah it was my fault lar so i'm not ashamed to say sorry though dat guy resembles so much like a Mat Rempit...........shud consider myself lucky dat he din jump dwn n bash my car windows wif his helmet.............
I'm trying to change all my sing dollar shillings into paper notes but the stupid bank say can onli do so on tuesdays n thursdays.........and they charge S$1.00 for every 200 coins........i have over 600 of them.........so they charge me S$3.00 ar........? Stupid lar waste my time.........liddat must go over spore again.........
I'm bored once again..........until i get to change all my coins into paper notes i will be bored........
