spiderpig:O Band was cancelled. I would be in school already, just that the whole school is locked up and Charles called around half an hour ago to tell me "not to leave the house". :\ I thought they wanted me to bring something. Damn. No band today. Well. I'm leaving the house soon to register for my Japanese Intermediate 1 class and buy some CDs at HMV.
And hey hey hey, I'm back already!! With 2 Rufus Wainwright CDs and a Swing Girls CD in tow. omfg, I'm so glad I found a Swing Girls CD. I never got around to watching the movie, and just listening to them play is a multisenory orgasm. It helps that there are 2 songs by Glenn Miller in there. <3<3<3 If I ever find the DVD or VCD, I'm so buying it. I need to watch it badly, especially since people have expressed a (weird!) opinion that I look like one of the swing girls. <3
The Sunday Intermediate-1 class is full!!! HOW CAN THIS BE! I feel so cheated. It only commences onthe 14th of August and it's full already? A wasted trip. Oh well, I did ask the receptionist to give me a call if there were anymore Sunday lessons available. With band and school, I badly need a Sunday class.
The SAF band concert was pretty spectacular last night. Well, the pieces didn't appeal to me overall. They were mainly classical-ish pieces and we all know how much I like more you know type of pieces, but it was really good. :3 I'm biased but kudos to the SAF saxophone section. You guys just rocked. And the bass line. I like listening out for it now, since I have a new found appreciation to non-melodic lines. Charles was a guest guitarist! How cool is that! Our very own CJCSB president a guest player! In a suit, at that! Phoar~!!!
I guess the only downside of the concert was the fact that there were this whole group of kids (mainly Malays, but I'm not trying to be racist here) who 1) arrived late, 2) made lots of noise, 3) kicked our chairs!! Mainly poor Immy who got the bulk of the chair-kicking. It was so bloody annoying! I mean, if you want to make comments during the performance ala "that tuba sounded flat! yeah!!" and other RELEVANT comments, do it softly! ARGH.
Other than that, it was hard to find anything bad to pick about. I mean, I sat with the coolest bunch of people on earth! (HAHA. HOW'S THAT FOR INFLATING YOUR EGOS.) E.G Sandie, Melvin, Immy, LB, Singyi, Chengyi, David... And that random shout during the percussion/drums solo. OMFG. I never laughed so hard before. You guys are nuts.
Nearly the whole band was supposed to go, but only around 20 turned up in the end with the usual gang being David, Sara, the Melvins, Nic, Liang Bao, Sing Yi, Vig, Sandie, Immy, Kevin, Wee Min, Mingfang and a few others whose names I'm too lazy to type out. Hoho. To everyone's amusement and my, well amusement too I suppose, Cheng Yi and I ended up wearing orange shirts together and we've become the Orange Girl and Orange Boy. HAHA. Too bad I didn't wear blackor white. ;D
After the concert, we wasted some time milling about the lobby of the Esplanade theatre. The guys were all mock-fighting. "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!" with uh, crossovers from Street Fighter and Tekken. DAVID HAS TEKKEN 5!! I WANT. Sigh, more often than not, only guys know about all these stuff. It's fun talking to them about Pokemon and what not. Then the whole lot of us trooped off to Dhoby Ghaut and hung around McDonalds before rushing off to catch the last train. :3 I love band outings. They're so fun.
I've got to pop down the WEARHOUSE at Kallang to go find my Racial Harmony Day costume. Guess what I'm dressing up as? Come on, guess! Have you got it?
I'm going as an Indian man, decked out with turban and beard+moustache and all. I'll probably walk around the school barefoot too! I've never gone all out for Racial Harmony Day, but I was just thinking, why not start this year since I'm in a new school and all. Gosh. Imagine me walking around and sitting in lecture with a huge-ass turban on my head. X3
Is true love a trip to Chinatown
Or being held in one's opium gaze
Under the peach trees
There I'll sit and wait
Is true love a long walk through Bryant park
Or being held in the month of May
under the peach trees
There I will be, will be until you come and get me
Cause I'm so tired of waiting in restaurants
reading the critics and comics alone
With a waiter with a face made for currency
Like a coin in ancient Rome
And I really do wish you were here next to me
cause I'm going to see James Dean
There I will be
Under the peach trees with him
