After aimlessly walking around because all the shops were closed, we ended splitting ways to save time. Lynette went with Sachiho, Brandon with Ayano, I went with Ami and Saaya. Heard from Brandon that Ayano spent the money like water, 200 over bucks on clothes etc. Saaya only spent 2 bucks on ice cream!!

2010.07.21
Meiden シンガポールに来りました。

The section's virgin polaroid picture that was given to Miss Sia! :D
(oh ya, there's a mysterious little green dot beside Lynette. HAHAHA)

Siying was telling everyone about her Fumiya. If you are curious, this is how he looks like when he plays the Timpani.

As for my favourite Koudai, he looks like this when he plays the Tambourine (oh, the vast difference) *the guy in the background is a hilarious guy btw*

the section's virgin jump shot. HAHA. Kudos to Charmaine for taking such an excellent shot.

virgin "everyone suddenly become very excited" shot. I'm sure we will never forget the story behind/after this picture!!!! *LAUGHS OUT LOUD*

because it got a little too exciting (and noisy) while we were highing, had to stop due to certain inconveniences. THEN MEIDEN CAME OMG ADSLKDJSA;FSHKLD. SAAYA AND AYANO RECOGNIZED ME OMG I COULDN'T BREATHE.
dear Abigail エビゲル (e-bi-ge-ru): Ayano asked for you! so sweet right!

had speeches and such at the gallery, then we sang COSMOS. shit, that tear jerker.

virgin Meiden+Meridian DBR picture! :D siying and I are damn old btw. everyone else is 16-17.

why is everything so virgin.

Japanese lessons for our stalkers! here's our names in katakana.

Brandon ブレンドン (bu-re-n-do-n)
Christine クリスティン (ku-ri-su-ti-n)
Lynette リネット (ri-ne-tto)
Siying シーイン (shii-i-n)

Outing! :D

2010-07-12T17:20:00.003+08:00

Konnichiwa!

It's time for the annual (or rather, once every 6 months) DBR outing! The mid years have just ended, those in University are having their holidays right now, it's the best time for an outing!

Details are still quite half-assed right now, I just felt like updating this blog for the fun of it even though I know not a single soul is reading it other than ME.

Title: DBR Section Outing ver.5 (or 6?)
Date: any of the weekends you like. Tentatively 7th/8th August because it's National Day week.
Time: afternoon-night (but won't be too late)
Venue: details will be provided closer to the date
What are we going to do?: dinner+take photos+chit chat (it is to let everyone know each other better!) +movie if everyone is fine with it.

Please come for the outing okay! Guaranteed lots of fun because.. fun people are turning up! :D

カウントダウン明電's arrival - 九日. (this ends up being the main focus of the entire post)
I CAN'T WAIT!!! テンション上げる！

if only all of us can just go to Japan at the end of the year! shiok max!

DEAD yet ALIVE!

2010-07-04T20:29:00.010+08:00

This place is not kinda dead anymore, it's VERY dead. My hair grew already.
emergency resurrection needed!

I wonder if anyone is even reading.. I am starting school tomorrow, I have no mood to do anything, I ended up stalking facebook, saw old pictures, and thought of this blog. HAHAHA. I have changed+updated the layout, because, I was bored.

anyway, what happened to keeping the blog alive?

LET'S HAVE A GOSSIP/CAMWHORE SESSION SOON PLEASE. it's been sooooo long since we last had one.
AND A DBR OUTING TOO! ver.05 please! (what happened to the "outing before vincent goes into army")
and a new DBR t-shirt.

the last one was this (last year OH GAWD) and only 6 people turned up (since it nicely clashed with the MJCSB BBQ ~~which we weren't invited to~~)!

and the last decent section photo we had was taken last year too!

*then after uploading the picture above, I found this. memory error*

not as if it's damn recent either.

let's all go back when Meiden comes and we take 103948190812093 nice nice pictures okay! (this is the main content of the post) because I managed to borrow a damn good camera

like this!

we need to find fumiya gen.2 & koudai gen.2

note: this is obviously a self-high post. and I need someone to entertain me.
P.S: I don't know the password+email of this acc! Blogged this through my own blogger!

to the random stalkers;

this was damn amazing :D

2009-08-18T11:16:00.006+08:00

2008-09-29T16:36:00.003+08:00

YO. I had a "xin xue lai chao" when I saw this site on Evonne's MSN nick when she came online..

http://mjc-sb.blogspot.com/ [now, go spread the jam]

it's the novel MJCSB blogggggggggg! I hope it won't be as dead as the old mjcsb blog, which only had.. 1 [or none?] post.

A levels sucks 8x [rotate the 8 by 90 degrees] more than promos & I am so envious because the j1s have finished their exams and can spend like 1 month highing about Japan while we high about exams [do we call that paedo-exams?] instead.

Anyway, best of luck to the J1s [get promoted! not advanced. HAHA] and all the best to us J2s that we don't die of bibliophobia before/after the A levels..

*blows dust away* wait that sounded wrong. but whatever. *blows again*

after my 2nd month with my favourite percussionist cum timpani player (wait that sounded wrong again) Fu Fu Fumiya (starts to dance around) ! the blog is still not updated. HAHAHA. so since the prelims are over (yay! okay fine. nothing to be happy about since there is still the A LEVELS. screams.) i shall upload some pictures from the japan exchange thingy (which us poor J2s are NOT allowed to be involved. but we still turn up anyway. hoho, the power of the japanese) for cheap thrills purposes and for us to huan xiang about going to japan!

so everybody say yay! pictures! (points downwards)

okay. i am lazy to upload anymore. because the pictures are appearing in random order. oh and on a side note, most of the pictures christine and i took are strangely not with the bassoonist. but instead we keep on taking with erhem percussionists such as koudai and fu fu fumiya! erhem and erhem double-bassists like shun erhem. hmm, weird. HAHAHA.

wait. i think they are all younger then us. how pedophilic (somehow that word reminds me of electrophilic and nucleophilic o.O) HAHAHA but dont care la. handsome what ! (starts highing in my room!) okay. i shall end here.

have fun studying for promos juniors while we suffer with the A levels. then we can all go japan and high together! yay!

*together together everyone* sings the high school musical song.

fades away.............................................................................................................................

2008-05-31T18:50:00.007+08:00

yoooo doublereeders! it has been 89403758 years since i last blog. hoho. initially wanted to blog yesterday about my top ten something something (don’t tell you! haha, another day then) but my com being old and gay decided to die on me o.O soooo, since christine sent me all the pictures from the concert yesterday, i shall blog about SSO’s the beauty of Beethoven’s concert instead (:

ah! we went for the concert because being enthu-band-people, we wanted to hear symphony no 7! (no la, its because we watched nodame and wanted to go there and imagine chiaki conducting.hot conductor eh. HAHAHA.)

supposed to meet the rest at 4.45 at city hall, but all of us reached at 5+++++ because i-dont-know-who was late. and we decided to go eat swensens because the asian kitchen that was supposed to be there (according to hong) closed down (?) HAHA. then after the usual
~~gossiping~~ talking about random people, we were off to the esplanade for the concert! yay! *starts to dance around*

omg, the concert is imba good okay. anddddd since i dont think fellow stalkers of the double reeds blog went for the concert, here’s a youtube video of symphony no 7! (not sso, but if you want the recording ~~i can bluetooth you~~. hoho, illegal recording =x )

the bassoon in movement two is loveeeee! starts melting.

anywayyyy pictures!

oh oh, all of us were wearing skirt/dress because it was also breakthrough day! yay! and bassoonists all wearing dresses with bright colours (: bassoon colour! (:

bassoonists! (:
again!
double reed seniors. omg, i feel old.

we were imitating the person sitting below us. HAHA.
(:
trying to imagine ourselves playing in the esplanade. HAHA.
haha, anqi looks so white.
us again!

haha, finally i am done. took me THISSSSSSSSSSSS long to update all the pictures. and yes, i quote christine, " So juniors, update! (: Random stuffs also can de! Just like us, we always update randomly. The soccer match is a gd oppurtunity to take some photos to post. "

erhem, like WHERE are the soccer match pictures? HAHA.

ps: the SSO conductor is sooooo cool! he waved to the audience before he left the stage. we should have bought the more expensive tickets! then we can sit more infront then i can wave to him too (:

pss: everyone should go and hear this bassoon solo from rite of spring (look below) ! i loveeeeeeee the bassoon sound alot X100000000000000000000. if anyone can play it for me, i think i will melt again and again and again infront of the person (:

2008-05-19T00:02:00.001+08:00

We are back

HAPPY VESAK DAY!

Eh hello, the blog is like so seriously dead and the graduated ones are here to update!

Well, it's weird because we are updating our own photos, hoho. The juniors ah, u all ah, must update a bit mah! Must carry on our tradition! Aiyo, our names are in italics liao [i have changed it], we have grown old. Sian hor. HAHAHAHA.

Well, we went for the SWS youth concert to support Ching Hong, so in the process, 3 of your DBR seniors took some photos so as to revive this super dead blog as suggested by Siying. We only can take DBR photos outside the band room now since we can't go into the band room as it is deemed as illegal.

At least proper.

In case u all don't know, we are tryng to imitate those photos behind us.

Bassoonists.

So juniors, update! (: Random stuffs also can de! Just like us, we always update randomly. The soccer match is a gd oppurtunity to take some photos to post.

2008-04-25T23:27:00.003+08:00

IQ question

Since it is said that DBR blog is dead, let me post a little IQ [it's not even IQ] question that Valerie asked. As the juniors are unable to solve this question before band started, let me post it here for convenience. HEHHEH.

HAVE FUN!

What is X [that slanted line] and why??

I draw one leh! nice right. At least I feel it is proportionate.

SO G__

BYE and yay the blog is alive?!

Band Camp photos!

2008-04-06T21:52:00.004+08:00

And the moment you all have been waiting for....

I am here to publicize! And I know there are random mj band ppl reading our blog!!
The photos were quite decently taken!! HAHAAHAHA *and so many DBR ones.*

Despite all the unhappy stuff, I hope all the DBRs have enjoyed their band camp and showing off our white polo t! (: HAAHAHAHAHA.

2008-04-01T17:22:00.004+08:00

hello darlings! (:

please remember to bring your 20 bucks tmr to pay for your section tee shirt. if not........... no shirt for you all! HAHAHA. and....

HAHA. BLUFF YOU ALL ONE! HAPPY APRIL'S FOOL! (:

(omg.so lame o.O )

see you all in band tmr (: cheers.

2008-03-30T15:41:00.004+08:00

Mjcsb BBQ

And so yesterday was the band BBQ. HAHA quite bored. and sian dbrs only took 2 photos. HAHAHAAH. Camwhore during band camp!! *guess who is holding the camera?* hehheh.

yay we having the t shirt soon! thanks to Anqi's and Siying's "arrrrrr" that we got it at a bargained price. (:

Okay I am sorry that the cost of the shirt is not the 18 bucks I have mentioned....

The end.

2008-03-29T22:51:00.003+08:00

hello darlings!

we ( anqi and i ) went to print the double reeds shirt today! hooray! anyway, its 20 bucks (it was suppose to be 40 bucks la. like wtf. but we whine/beg/plead the uncle andddd we managed to cut it down to 20bucks! woohoo!) so please pay me on wednesday! hahaha ( i want my 100 bucks deposit back. (: ) oh, and we are going to collect it on thursday. those who can make it, MEET AT ATRIUM AT 4.15pm.
(abrupt ending again......)

2008-03-27T19:46:00.003+08:00

HELLO im back!

ya, i am not at the concert.

Not sure if anyone will be reading this since the tagboard is only me and that gay tagging. oh ya and I failed to edit the html of the pictures. darn.

I went to check out the prices for the t shirt alrdy. don't expect it to be like as cheap as $14 since all of us want good quality t shirt and colour. okay, i done some research, it's going to be expensive if we do not do this t shirt thing in bulk, especially if we do it at places like "class t shirt" and "intrend" cos they always do things in BULKS cos they make silk screen and all the sh*t. so if we approach them, i'm afraid each person has to pay 20++++++++++ bucks.

I asked around, luckily i have a friend in choir. she told me that she made her altos section t shirt [they have 11 people] for around 18dollars and the quality is good. i think there is at least 3 colours [cos i saw gold, black and red unless i have cock eye or bad memory], WHICH IS GREAT! oh, i forgot to mention the place. they made it at art serve [surprisingly] that small little shop that moved from 4th floor to 3rd floor of our beloved tampines mall.

Art serve cheaper cos they make shirts in small bulks [okay I don't know how to phrase it properly. dun understand i explain to you verbally]

so...... our section t shirt price is TENTATIVELY 18dollars. maybe we can bargain? anyone good at it? HAHA.

yay excited not?

-christine [now must leave name. bloggers overload]
but the blogging style is so "christine"

2008-03-24T22:47:00.003+08:00

Hi dudes, its your bored-to-death-resident-senior-blogger Mr Zhang Pangyu posting.

As you guys already know, or should know, the Singapore National Youth Orchestra is having a concert this Thursday.

And today by coincidence, I met a dude wearing MJ uniform near the toilet at the CCAB (where we practise), and realised he's in MJ Jc1. He's a percussionist and if you all need another reason to come to the concert, heres one: Support your current MJC bandmate! Haha. Not to forget your two ex-MJC bandmates!

2008-03-23T13:45:00.013+08:00

hello! as you all know, from the previous previous previous (haha,i dont know how many previous) post, we said that we are going to make a section tee. the design for it is already out ! yayyy. tentatively, its going to be something like that (refer to pictures below). but according to an qi, the front looks like two kehleng dancing around a tree. o.O ( so not.) so if anyone can edit/redraw/make it less kehleng/do something about the front, do something about it. HAHA. get the editable (is there such a word?) version from me online. msg me if i am not online because i can go online and send it to you. ( wahhh, so wei da. HAHA)

EDIT EDIT :

HELLO DARLINGS! hahaha forget about the horrible indian dancings. HAHA. i've come up with another design for the front of the section tee. ( ok fine, not i come up one, but someone else and i am not going to tell you who. HAHAHA) soooooo........ refer to picture below:

yup, this is the front. each cartoon character for your specific instrument and sex ( gender ) HOHOHO so if you are gay, you can choose to put both girl and guy! HAHA not bad.........

then this is the back.

ps. anqi just showed me some bassoon jokes and its NOT funny. HAHAHAHA.

till then (:

*edit
anqi showed me some nicer pices to put infront and she's currently editing it now. so stay tune for more updates on the section tee! (:

SO IF ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR CHANGES TO MAKE TO THE SECTION TEE, PLS SAY BY WEDNESDAY OKAYYYYYY. SEE YOU ALL IN BAND (:

2008-03-21T18:07:00.003+08:00

HELLO >.< oncontextmenu="return true;">

we shall organise one dbr outing soon and we shall go science centre. hmm. date and time to be confirmed. roflolmao.

2008-03-19T22:42:00.004+08:00

GUESS WHO'S COMING (as in posting a message)TO ADD MORE SPICINESS TO YOUR BLOG?

Ok looking at the composition of the members of the DBR. . . I would have to say...

Hi laddies! Not forgetting our gay bassoonist Siying (just like her other senior, LOL) and the handsome young lad from oboe. Haiz, I was a handsome young lad like him last time, but now I'm only a handsome lad. Alas, the cruelty of age!

If you all haven't figure who on earth am I, its perfectly normal. Since I only went to band room once after my A levels.

Hey I was working 5 days a week (to get a PS3) and going for SNYO for 2 days (coz I stupid and promised to help) okay! SO THAT MEANS I HAVE NO LIFE! ARGGGGGGH!

Siying or Christine should have told you guys about me. The description they used should be something similar to: handsome, charismatic, mentally polluted, wise-asscracking, troublemaker, slacker, talented . . . . . . among the other traits. That would be me, Pangyu. However, if they ever described a senior with the word "gay", its the other one, not me.

Anyway, the next time I see Siying, I will stick some random bassoon (the instrument) up her *some place where the sun won't shine*. Because she never tell me about this website! HAHA! But nevertheless, I'm very happy to see that the double reeds have come together (as in united).

REMEMBER, THE FUN PART OF BAND IS NOT DURING BAND PRACTICES (*fridays* cough cough ), but before and after band practices!

Before I go...... I have to leave an advertisement here first!

2008-02-23T21:59:00.002+08:00

Heroes

We are the bomb!

We somehow do resemble those Heroes on Channel 5 HD tv after hearing what Abigail said yesterday. If only Jolyn and I stood straight....

*Nvm we can take another one that looks even more like the poster below when we go to Science Centre.* And we must find a nice background also!

Shit this is so random.

Band Heroes?

Real Heroes.

2008-02-22T23:56:00.006+08:00

SECTION OUTING.

Hello! All the people from other random sections in the band, DON'T ENVY US after seeing the following photos!

Supposed to meet at 12.45pm to eat Yukiyaki, but it became meeting at 1.15pm to eat ______ because the seniors were late [oi..].

Yep! We have had our FIRST EVER double reeds section outing in TOWN! With Grace absent [awww. no full attendance] And, we ate at a very random western food restaurant after seeing the numbers $8.90 set lunch with free flow of drinks and stuff. [Oops. This shouldn't be typed in. But whatevers. It's in the Singaporeans blood.]

We saw that the promotion was until 2.30 and it was 2.15 then. We faster chionged to buy and kns no free flow of drinks since it stopped at 2.30.

This is the list of food we ate.

Ice lemon tea whereby you have to add the sugar syrup at your own risk. Abigail drank Pepsi.

Nice soup that was tasteless. Had to add salt arh.

Wah Fish and Chips and Spaghetti!

The close ups.

The dessert!!!!! Small, but still, nice lah! The gossiping made it even nicer.

ALL THESE FOR ~~9.50~~ $10.50! Omg ! [Inclusive of GST and service charge]

Photos taken at the eating place.

Nice photos.

Stupid gay Anqi close her eyes.

Then we tried to head to suntec to Siying's arcade [ah lian mah] and my neoprint, of course we failed because the link from Citylink to there is blocked. We wanted to try another way then _____ [i forgot who] suggested to go to the library@esplanade. Anyway, I was wondering how come Abigail is not bored of going that place AGAIN in one day...

Anyway, we must give Siying "The Best Actress" award for acting so well when Jolyn found out both of them were from the same primary school.
Abigail: What's your primary school?
Siying: Damai Primary
Jolyn: *Gasps* We were from the same primary school!
Siying: OMG! *SHe alrdy knew for a long time. Professional Stalker wad*
then me and Anqi were like -.-

Then we reached esplanade in no time. [The process ain't good cos of those laughters underground. We scared] While walking, we saw a cool shop that sells mainly handmade violins, and Siying decided to ask for a reed [It was Jolyn who asked]. AND TADAH SHE FOUND IT. It's cheap and nice to play (no need to season). Well, but we do not exactly know whether it sounds nice on the bassoon not...

After that we headed to the tian1 tai2 to take photos. And thank god I have the "timer" function.

Warning: Explicit and gay photos.

The sit down one

The stand up one [Abigail says we look like HEROES - the popular American series.]

Emo oboists *Abigail is smiling* and happy bassoonists

Emo.

Weighing scale A

Weighing scale B

Conclusion: Inaccurate weighing scale because both photos show different results. (haha gay)

EMO double reeds. Ignore the one in the centre [siying is the ultimate emo] *Christine says: I didnt dare to face the camera cos I was laughing*

Those crazy oboists continued to emo.

Then suddenly they became very happy. Look at Abigail so gay.

They wanted to shoot Anqi, but their position looked wrong, so they changed. Anqi is the gay!

The cool ones. Vincent looks tall beside the other 2. [oops]

Warning: Sad part.

Abigail had to leave early.... [awww...]

Then she headed to the wrong exit... [this is so totally uncool!]

Then she happily/gayly walked off and even posed.

Warning: Gay and Explicit content once again.

The bassoon section didn't want to lose out so we also posed for photos.

I think my face is like blocked. But nvm, my face looks smaller though.

Spastic smiles.

I fell onto the ground. But I think this photo cute leh.

NICE JUMP!

Oboe copy! HAHAHAHA.

They missed Grace and Abigail and they wanted to fly to find them.

Wah lau, I took the photo for them then I don't have.

HAHAHA. Act like dinosaurs. But I act like bollywood.

Spastic smile.

The Ben&Jerry treat from Anqi! *that 10 dollar voucher was useful*

I don't know what was Vincent trying to do.

OBOISTS.

BASSOONISTS!

Our food! Fortress [and thinks of the "fortess" joke]

Spot the mickey. Adopted from: Disney Channel.

I suggested to make star since there's 5 of us.

The gourmets.

Gay

Gay *as in happy*

Not gay.

Cannot say he gay.

Les

Tiko

Yummy.

Vincent is lying. His sorbet not nice.

The last 2 are just extremely random photos!

Photos of the day:

CHRISTINE TOOK IT OKAY!

HAHAHAHHA!

Finally done. This looks long.

2008-02-21T17:57:00.003+08:00

Mjcsb concert and our failed photos

Special thanks to our dear CHEERI for these photos. Sian, in the end still didn't work. Burnt quite a bit of calories jumping.

I don't know why I look so irritated...

Then Zul came and spoil our plan.

All of us were waiting... Then Cheeri said,"Can jump already!"

We all jumped at different times. HAHA

It's either the camera went all over the place, or I am the only one still staying at the same spot.

Okay, whatever. Hoho, CCA for J1s starting! (:

2008-01-01T01:49:00.001+08:00

( left it on the bus ) so we waited at the interchange for i dunno how many minutes for her bus to turn back. ( heng she took 291? if not we need to go to bedok already. HAHA. ) anyway, she got her shoebag back and we went to find an qi, who was standing emo-ly at the mrt station waiting for us. o.O then the other baos reached and we happily went for lunch at long johns. then we went ntuc to buy our presents and mrted back to mjc band rm. hoho.

Gay conversation

Well, it seems that this blog will be left alone for a week I guess. Anyway, 3 of the double reeders were engaged in a conversation with 3 other band mates in mjcsb. With 6 people in a conversation, the likeliness of having a gay conversation is naturally high.

Well, we were talking about a band outing before the tune in, so erm there were some drawings drawn by 2 of the many big artists alive, Si Ying and me [Christine]

Well, this is a compilation, because too many takes up space. [left click to enlarge]

Let me tell you briefly how those 4 drawings came about.

The first one: we were talking about back up plans for the outing, then if got lightning then got hip hairstyle and stuff.... And thus I drew this.

The second one: we were talking about politics [ya, real politics] then An Qi missed choy, and Si Ying screamed,"Don't look into her eyes! [Medusa joke]"*okay, it's a long story. Maybe ask someone else to explain next time* And thus I drew this.

The third: Ling Mei asked, what's Medusa? And Si Ying drew a gay looking Medusa that SMILES. WOW. I pointed that out and thus the birth of the forth one.

If you want to read a more gay post, please feel free to visit: http://slackinginprogress.blogspot.com

It won't hurt to click. Although her blog was ranked first for bein the most gay. Guess who's second?

OMG IT'S DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My condolences

As you can read from the previous gay [it's gay because even the writer tot it's gay] post, Scott's good friend, XXX [the reed], just died. We are not sure of the cause yet, but our preliminary guess it's natural death. We are still investigating this case. You know, when something comes of age, it will just die off.

May you rest in peace, reed.

Goodbye, our comrade who fought selflessly for the bassoon section during combined, you did us proud, you died a glorious death while playing the scales. SALUTE.

Okay, I lost focus, this post was supposedly to be focusing on the 2 bassoonists! Not the REED! Okay, come back come back.

Okay, we see the room empty, so we take photo. since the tuba chairs dun block us anymore.

Si Ying says,"Wah! Can dance ballet" Thus the pose. This shot looks a little gay btw.

HAHA. Bassoon is the most bonded section! Cos we eat dinner and lunch tgt everyday! Then it's Oboe cos they only eat lunch tgt everyday. Quality bonding = Quality music. [Give me some time, I will try to brush up on my *piak* tone]

2007-11-29T20:55:00.001+08:00

gah! since i am waiting for my show to start, i shall blog about the gay ogl camp me and an qi went (: BUT i cannot really rmb anything except falling down twice and carrying the gay shoebag and being gay and unethu. HAHA. sooo , pictureSSS! ( only got 2 la. so kua zhang. o.O)

AH. okay done (:

oh oh sidenote:

I NEED REEDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!! GAH!!!

*****red colour to show its importance. lol. ask me whyyy? dont tell you -_-

HAHAHA. gay. obviously because my reed died on me when i was playing with scott today. roar! how depressing. let me type out my reed last moments.

one fine day at combine (okay, not very fine because my ass and hands were hurting due to the fall yesterday while rollar blading with the longbaos) i was happily playing scales on scott whennnnnn the reed started going crazy. anddd eventually it stopped producing any sound. HAHA. gay. i thought it was scott being gay at first, but i later realised my reed just passed away. awww.

HAHA. gay story. wah. my show is starting. bye. ( abrupt ending )

In case

Okay, Anqi gave me some inspiration to blog. Maybe she knows I will be lonely for the next 2 days since all my dear friends [almost all] are OGLs..

Well, in case you stalkers are pondering why my name exists in both sections, it's because I pro. wakaka. No la, it's because I play both instruments that's why my name in both sections goondoo. I am not sure of the actual reason oso so don't ask me.

Anyway, a random conversation that happened less than an hour ago.
*Okay I dun have the exact words, but the rough idea is like this...*

Anqi: Can I put your name at the OBoe there as Ex-Oboist?
Me: Cannot!
Anqi: Don't so agitated lah, asking ur permission only..
Me: Okay i change i change
Anqi: Oh ya, add the juniors names hor.
Me: Okay I do the changing....
Anqi: Good wat, play 2 instruments.
Me: 3! [includes Cor Anglais] Yay, den next time can be double reeds tutor.
Anqi: You?? Gay lah.
Me: "what instrument do you teach?"
"Oh! Any double reed instrument I also can."
Anqi: GAY. You blog about this la. Something like you thinking about your future job and stuff..
*The rest of the conversation I forgot*

Well, I do think of that kind of scenario at times [most of the times], but it's just an imagination lah. This kind of imagination only works for people who have nothing better to do. If I can teach people how to play instrument, maybe pigs should try flying. Okay, I don't know what to blog. So goodbye and goodnight.

Random

One fine day.

We're back once again

An overdued photo. Taken on Hari Raya, a.k.a the Charmaine video filming day.
Were trying to imitate the characters on the poster btw.

Have not been updating for weeks already, due to busy schedules and stuff. The OP is coming, the double reeds would like to wish everyone good luck!

Here are some tips, which might not be helpful.
#1. Speak properly.
#2. Think carefully
#3. Act like a kuai kia.

Played incatation and dance today, basically it was a roller coaster ride. Anyway, as Christine said on the tagboard, after the peeps left the burger king [if u dunno what this place is, no worries, I HAVE A PHOTO.], Christine had a nice nice adventure which only Si Ying got to see.

Well, the story goes like this.

One day, Christine was too worried about her OP because she recieved a ME for her overall presentation, thus she was too busy memorizing lines. And thus almost left something that costed around 2000 dollars at that place over 2.5 pieces of paper that costed around 0.5cents. Horrible.

While walking towards the bus stop, Christine saw someone with a laptop and almost screamed. And ran back to the Burger King at god-dang-speed, even faster than running her 2.4 km. Si Ying literally gave up halfway while running. Sad ah. Iron lady leh. Lucky the laptop was taken by the manager, otherwise Christine could have committed suicide or something.

Anyway, the oboists would like to apologize to cuckoo for causing a mini hoo haa at BK, to further show you our sincerity, I think that An Qi should write a blog post of some apology letter to Charmaine. Mastermind should take up more responsibilities! [yay, can see An Qi blog liao!]

Okay, goodbye!

2007-10-18T17:25:00.001+08:00

yo stalkers. the oboe sl is beside bassoon sl. hahaha. gay.

since today is cuckoo birthday, the double reeds section would like to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! we hope that she will be less kuku and orbit and stop being wished to be born under a lucky star. haha. so..........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

CHOY MEI WEN CHARMAINE
