Wake me up when OCT ends ^^

XOXO, spent the first two days of oct with cat and chinipo at giant as we worked as a part-time promoter.
1 oct - cat de olay; meryn de polident
(loos like anlene promoter right XD)

2 oct - olay n polident

Know wat, i was a band member since i was 10, but then i was in great disappointed when i was forced to stop dat since my secondary sch do not have such 'thing'. By the time, i dun even think of when can i 'touch' it agin...but who knows after 5 and a half year, i was given a chance to meet agin my dear 'put put' XD (although it's nt my "Jupiter no6" and "Yamaha no12" ><) Btw, here's a big thanks for her. Yup. i was in the band for the concert 1 irama dat was held by the g group seniors...but.. this is much more diff compare to last year~ the venue, the scoreSSSSS, the band membrs.............>< Luckily, i'm still with both my trumpet sifuS^^!!! Seriously, this concert really burden me, especially the stack of scores dat made ppl headache >< . Halo! over 20 songs we have to perform in this concert, compare to last year, there's only 7! This is a real big challenge for me. Others can straight away follow the conductor, follow the tempo when they first got their score, but for me, i'm just a beginner. It took some time for me to jolt down do-re-mi for each and every note. No point, i do not know how to read the 'tadpoles', A-B-C, 1-2-3, th♯/♭'s symbols and fingering, i just know do-re-mi :( and this is the only way. Quite hard for me to adapt with it, but after the both sifu's taught me and after the non-stop + tiring + "lips-swollen" practising, ngiek ngiek, at least i can follow up A BIT la (",)  Hmm...is this contradiction?? Somehow, i juz missed the olden days where we used to skip class in the afternoon and went for theband prac...till now, some of the melodies still running thru my mind >< but before dat, we'd complained for it---> d super-duper combo (boring & tiring & wasting-our-time) prac -.- Mayb some might say this, "Good ma, can skip class!" yea, i know..skipping class should be fun and only-once-in-a-while. Try to imagine, u're supposed to do presentation in class, but now u're having prac pulak, mcm mana nak present? u aspect ur groupmate will present for u ? (yes, this is wat both my dear fren did for me :P, sincerely appreciate n thanks hs n wc ^^ ; and sry if i'm being a troublesome n brought u guys inconvenience ><) And u aspect ur lecturer will give u high mark based on how nice and hw attractive is ur presentation slides izit? dun be silly k! Sometimes we even skipped it, esp the workshop they purposely organized on weekend. oops


Okay, i must said dat it's easier to 'handle' a brass instrument compare to woodwind. Not easy to make d sound come out frm the woodwind instruments >< For the brass, u juz simply flatten ur lips and blow the air thru the mouthpiece, "BAAAAAAAAAAAAA" , dats it...but for woodwind, its totally diff >< u have to control the air to pass thru the small passage :'( i tried sooo many times oso nothing come out from the instrument, perhaps my saliva -.- thank god, i'm 'lucky' eunf during d day. After the concert ends, for sure, is our photo snapping session XD took Cheryl's alto saxophone n Amanda's clarinet. Weeeeeeeeee, i made it! i can blow it ady (saxophone n clarinet^^)
