BEIJING TRIP IS OVER! CRIES*
damn, i still want more.yes, MORE.
overall, it was just fun and sad at the same time, cos this will be my last time, LAST time playing with the band and being a member of this band.shit.im really sad.i will miss this band and the memories...oh man. but im strong enough to hold my tears back, so no worries.(:
and luckily, we got a super nice tour guide, our dear MR YAN/MR MONEY!:D
we love you man.and he loves percussion back too, cos we are cool ppl.heheheheh.
let me sum it up!wheehee
17th June
on the plane with jayni and monica, back seat. ij girls are well-known for being late, so bendemeer got the front seats.mhmm.YES,we`re on the same plane (:
surprisingly, its not as noisy as what i`ve expected.
omg i brushed my teeth 3 times cos the mouth rinsing is power.i watched step up 2.man, it was boring,i hate romance. i prefer mystery.
i did english on the plane.(: clap.
Mingriwuzhou is not bad you know.i like it.
jayni is my room mate.room 720.:D nice number fels!
the first thing we did: move the bed next to each other.man it was heavy.i was sweating like mad.in fact, its heavier than the biggest timpani.gee, we`re strong, jayni.
18th june
if im not wrong, we went to the temple of heaven.boring boring boring.
im not a history person.
we missed music clinic though, and the workshop was useless cos we came late.we met percussionists form many other schools.coolios.
Opening ceremony was just....BORING.
no offense, especially the china band that played.gosh.so stoned.i was sleeping.*oops*
yes, maybe even snoring.what a pig.at least Mr Samad and Gary didnt get to see it this time*pheww*.westwind concert.LOL.
19th june
forbidden city.SO LOOOOOOOOONG.my legs were breaking apart.damn, im getting old.hahha
we took jump shots and cart-wheel shots.probably, the bendemeerians think we`re a crazy bunch.sheeesh.
school exchange with riverside and bayi chinese.I officially admire Mr Komiyama.he`s cool.love his accent.
dont talk to me about dinners.
the soupS were just...URGH, gross.practically,they were a mixture of salt and water.some are diluted.so me and simone started this tradition, where we`ll make our own soup by mixing 'disgusting'leftovers and chilli and tea and watermelon juice.HAHAH!every dinner okay.some of the percs got very disgusted.at least its tasteful after that.we`re the number one CHEFS simone!:D
we went shopping at the pearl market.im not a shopping person, so i only got a pair of sneakers and shades.gosh, china ppl are scary indeed.they were so desperate and grabbed my money, bugging me once i stared or stepped into their shops.im scared.
20th June
GREAT WALL WAS SUPER FUN!
that coaster thingo was just fun.i love roller coaster afterall.Jayni got so freaked out at first.haha.
we gave the bendemeer percsnsts fruit plus sweets, strawberry flavour, cos jayni`s dog ate the kit kat.probably they think we`re cheap-skate, but we really put our hearts and soul, giving them sincerely.
LITTLE MAN REFUSED TO RECEIVE!:(
at least TIMPANI GUY was kind enough to take it.:D
chang ping sch peformance was just...ewww.the bells was so ringy, i cant even dampen it.RAAAAAH fels was fuming mad!
why dont they have extra xylo?!?!?!?!
night rehearsal was damn fun!:D
21st June
the DAY, ADJUDICATION.
timpani was damn nice.power.power.i like.
its just the tuning.hahha and i bravely moved the freaking gay chair away.timpanists arent supposed to sit down! not cool man, not cool.
the guest band from canada i think...,performed opheus! OMG! damn nice!shit.memories man.i played xylo.HAHAH! and the freaking backstagers stopped them from playing more cos it was already quite late.he just took the file and stand rudely.and the female hot conductor was furious.
for once, im ashamed to be a chinese.
everybody left when it was our turn to perform.
but surprisingly, bendemeer was the only school that stayed to support us.
our self-composed perc ensemble, IJ heartbeat was not bad.i just couldnt help myself laughing.Siti thinks it was cool.hahhaha THANKS MAN!:D
SWAY WAS THE BOMB, with bendemeerians swaying at the back.ohman, they`re a bunch of nice and awesome people.i LOVE them.they could just have left us, but they stayed.really touched.and the prrcussionists...:D thanks for swaying!:DDD
you all rock! it was really cool.
you`ll always be a gold or in fact, a platinum band in our hearts.
thank you Mr Samad, for dancing along too.:) *yes, i could see him so clearly!i`ve got pefect eyesight.if he could see me sleep clearly and LAUGH, so am i!shhh..
22nd June
WORKSHOP WITH Mr MILLS.
he`s super lenient, to give us 93 points for merry widow.:)
im quite surprised.
Olympic shop was quite boring.im not a shopaholic.i HATE shopping to the core.
so me and simone and veronica were playing truth or dare and pepsi cola.gee, it was fun!
and we took a group photo with the bendemeer percs.COOOL.but siti wasnt there, and my jnrs too!rah!
RQ gave me jing jing stickers and simone was damn jealous so she asked from adam.how childish, simone!:P
go marry jing jing man!
the TEA SHOP.i hate the tea.it was bitter.i like sweet ones!
lunch was shiok! with some gay and funny performances
we only had less than fifteen mins to pack up and chek out.the lifts were full and jayni and I, being so strong and heroic, went up the stairs to the 7th floor.we`re fit.:D
IJ BAND WON THE GOLD AWARD!
praise the lord!
scream your lungs out.zena was unwell, so me and simone sat at the extreme back with her, supper stuffy! no air con man!
and WE COULDNT WATCH BENDEMEER PERFORM...in fact, couldnt watch them throughout the trip.this is so unfair.
so we decided to just scream..actually, more like screech, for bendemeer.(:
a bunch with golden hearts, i so agree with Mr Tan.
Mr Samad is sooo friendly, i cant stand it.he treats us like his friends.
even clarise thought he was my uncle, cos she saw me doing the 'high-five' with him.hahahahaha i laughed my ass off.
we promised him to watch bendemeer`s yearly concert in return.i know, we`re sooooooo nice.(:
thank you thank you.
and we didnt even have the chance to take GROUP PHOTOS cos we have to catch the freaking plane!:(
*fello percs, lets take it some other time, yea?
