Time to blog... After one whole month...haha... sure alot of things happened...stopping school for half a year... starting teaching bands... and now band... got allocated to the first first i teach... Ahmad ibrahim secondary school concert band... was a military band... but changed to concert band... which they shouldn't have coz it affected their attitude in band... concert band sort of more slack...
oh well... they're definitely improving ... kind of like them alot manz... but "shouldn't be too emotionally attached" to them as Gim Kai said... but well... we're humans afterall, its inevitable la... oh well... they're a super smart bunch of people... "music needs intelligence" as Kenrick put it... i totally agree... especially for Choir... choral singing is just plain intellectual... you need to feel your inner body... haha... you need to know these things... its simply intellectual lah... look at the top choirs... all coming from the top ranking schools...
whereas for band... there are exceptions... you don't need brains... not literally... but yah... you know what i mean... you just need to be taught and drilled like many schools do... st pats... yuhua... they aren't the top ranking schools... but they are the top ranking bands... yuhua especially... they have been getting gold ever since the beginning of syf... haha... i think... maybe exaggerating... but yah...
ok ... back to life... hmm... it was or it is rather... the same every single week.... mondays for nafa band... tuesday to teach jyss... wednesday for wlds sec... thursday and friday for ahmad ibrahim (thursday occasionally for syno depending on schedule) ... saturday... syno... alumni band... spf band pract... then audioimage in the evening... sunday usually slack at home... if not i'll go somewhere for coffee and to read... haha...
yah.... skipped nafa band last week... woke up damn late... decided not to go... went for spf band pract... the two guys in clarinet section having problems... from best buds to cold war enemies... kids... the 3 problematic sec 2 girls... farhanna... mandy and joddie... and the other hopeless girl wen qian... farhanna and mandy skipped band pract on sat... and eventually came down in the end... but werent allowed to play....... I think... joddie is regular... but still can't seem to play...
wen qian havent been coming coz her mum doesnt allow... what crap? CCA is part of school activities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! havent been coming... never practise... so i leave her to one side to practise herself....
oh well... who knows... they complained to the seniors on the following week about not liking me... hmm... not as though i like them? well.... they were forced to tell who didnt like who in the clarinet section... think it was the best thing done to them by lisa and sheryl and whosoever...
oh well... spf better buck up... and work harder... dropped so much...
come on... work hard... hahahah
