Band Practice: Day 2

Wow, waiting for this to load took literally forever. Nydia and I call it “The Eternity Line”, the name that goes for everything slow. Anyway, let's get on with the day, shall we? (BTW, why am I writing my blog in fully proper English? I mean like, come on, when I speak to my friends at school, we use so many slangs it's insane!)

The day started like all days: a shower, me brushing my teeth, breakfast and the list goes on and on. I had left my music sheets at school, so I could pack more things into that damn, crappy, small bag. If you must know, I wasn't all that happy to go to school today. We're supposed to be on holiday, yet we have a ton of homework to do and band practice to go to.

We started off with the usual “So” note, then scaling up and down. Then we proceeded to tonguing practice, from “Do” (low note) to “Dō” (high note). I love doing the easy bits, but then again the next songs we're starting are extremely difficult, and we're only on Grade 1 And A Half. Excuse me, but how do you expect us to read notes that we've only just learned to read like, what, two days ago?

When it was time for seperate practice, I went to practice in the MBMMBI room with my fellow alto saxophone players Yin Hao, Yong Xin and Xin Yi. Please note that Yong Xin needs a chaperone to accompany her to the damn freaking toilet because the door closes like 24/7 and sends a big bang! throughout the whole toilet, making it sound like it is haunted or something and makes her scream like cat claws on a chalkboard (Yong Xin, if you're reading this, no hard feelings, ’kay? We still like you).

And then when it was time to eat lunch, I nearly cried because we were eating vegetarian food, again. Not that it tastes horrible, but I'm used to having meat on my plate along with the veggies, rather than eating them alone. Please, please, please let it be something decent tommorow. 

Bye blog!
