went to SINGAPORE POLY SYMPHONIC BAND'S(SPSB) concert.
it started at 7.30 pm at VICTORIA CONCERT HALL
dang , was it grand.

i swear it was worth my 12 bucks.
Gold Band, dudes .
and of course w my wonderful seniors in it,

(rofl )



okay, why was i pouting.
i so wasnt ready.
darn you zany !

hafizany.
zany and i agreed that we did look compatible, FOT THAT DAY.
haha
deon lah, started it.
saying we looked compatible haha

shaffiqa brought her shades cause it was already in her bag.
i brought it cause she brought it.
she didnt really used them,
cause fiona and zany kept lending from her haha
and i didnt really use mine either.
picts, yes ahhah



the concert started at 1930.
shaffiqa and deon came over to my crib at 1500.
i helped him choose his bottom.
we watched japanese game shows on youtube for awhile before
meeting fiona under my block.

met up w the rest of the band who went at 1700, at JE interchange.

ugh, i actually believed zany was gg to appear in tubes and shorts.
how dumb can i get.

SP band's music was simply awesome.
we sat in awe, speechless.
(aiyaa still got talk lah)
i swear our band is nowhere nowhere near them.
is our band bad or are they simply good?

i shant say our band is no good,
okay what silver band?

its just that SPSB's plain good.

*sticks our tongue, acting cute-thinking i make sense*

OH OH! JOHNY BRAVO PLAYS THE TUBA !!!

On the way home in the subway,
there was this guy who stopshot, with his arms opened
at the end of the escalator.

we were both scared, nearing the end of the escalator
glad he didnt attack or whatsoever
phew

november 18th 2008

just when i thought i could sleep in late
cause i reached home pretty late the night before.
little did i know,
or did adila,
we got woken up BY MRS GAN SEOK JEAN.
ugh
and it was ard 8 plus
PFFT

i woke up w baggy eyes & saw these texts.

mrs gan: "why is the noticeboard not up yet? must get it done by today!"

(cause next year's sec ones are coming on november 19th, the next day)

adila: "hafiz, i apologise first if that gun is gg to scold you today.
she just asked my why is it not up today and i really dont know what the hell she wants ah.

adila:" can u meet me in sch? im really sorry."

Before i could reply any of them,

mrs gan: " did you see the noticeboard?
its so badly done!
why didnt you oversee to ensure its done properly?
No hk picts, put other picts !
Dont leave it blank!
You have to help her to do it by today! "

i got calls at the so-wrong time.
when i was bathing!
how the hell was i gg to pick up.
and when i wasnt in the room w my phone.
i put my phone in silent.
i dont have caller id.
adila said it wasnt her.
confirm mrs gan,
and i bet she thinks i purposely avoid her calls out of guilt.
i could feel it.

adila and i met up at 1000 at kodak , a stone throw away from sch.
printed pictures and got to work.
we stayed for like,
7 hours?
from 11 to 6 .
to work on the noticeboard.

we initially finished at 4/5.
called up mrs gan, to tell her we're done and asked her to check.
we thought she might be happy it was finally done,
AFTER HOURS OF HARD WORK
but we got more scoldings instead.
life's hard huh.

i forgot what she told adila
but what she scolded me?

she was disappointed i didnt oversee the noticeboard's progress
( actually, i did )
she asked me if i did,
i said abit.

( i mean really, i did check as in text adila all the time.
i only didnt go to sch w her to do it.
i had matters at home that day she went.
wasn't that at least PART of overseeing?
i checked w adila?)

and when i said abit,
she said it was either a yes or no.
i knew she wouldnt take yes for an answer,
looking at how the notice board was.
and so i said no, reluctantly.

she scolded even more.
she said she was disappointed.

"i dont think you're ready to be drum major next year"
(actually, she made sense there. im not .
plus, sery's making some changes on how to take care of discipline.
im still not sure how)

"we have to re-look into you, hafiz."
( well, uhm, okay...)
D';

and she also went on about leadership.
and we weren't that good at it.
it felt so like the last time i sat w adila at the red table,
when they said they were going to have another batch of excos to try out,
listening to mrs gan and mrs chee about all this leadership thing too.
and our flaws.
not one single praise.

she even said she had told all the other teachers and instructors
about this.

ugh

and we didnt even get a simple good for our hard effort.
she even said we only did it like,
w/o effort.
and compared to other noticeboards like npcc and choir
which was beside ours.
she even went to show us malay cultural club and chinese orchestra
which was about 10 feet away.

To adila and i,
those boards were full of pink.
hello? band?
yellow and green is our colour?
but to mrs gan,
it was colourful.

i mean,
adila and i agreed that what we had done was the best JVCB noticeboard
okay let's not brag,
at least for that year alone.

the most we got was " at least its not as bad anymore''

not as bad!?@
what happened to good?
just one simple good.

and oh yeah.
there was this part,
written JVCB in yellow.
our background was white ( music scores actually)

she wasnt satisfied w that.
she said it blended.
she wanted contrast.
and said people dont know what JVCB stands for and would just walk away.
to me, those who dont know would come even nearer to find out.

she then said its up to us if we want to edit our work before gg back to the office.

i wanted to stay.
i wanted to prove we could make up for our mistakes.
and that we could be responsible.
besides, wont she think even more that we're lazy and do things w/o effort
( which we arent)
if we just left it as it is?

the only reason adila said she agreed to stay was cause she was worried for my post.
you silly goose

so we stayed on.

we changed the yellow JVCB.
to a red CONCERT BAND.

I SWEAR ON EVERYTHING I EVER LOVED
ITS HORRENDOUS NOW.
we super regret editing it.
ugh
