Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro is a great manga! I finally finished reading all 202 chapters.
Ok, I shall go sleep now.
10:16 PM
Man, I'm hungry.
Today's band practice consisted of cleaning up the band room, and a game at the end. Sometimes I can't believe how slow they can get, urgh! Hayyan was naturally more helpful compared to James. At least he helped with the cleaning of the cupboard, though he sat in it just after I finishing doing so.
We had extra time left so we played a game. My reaction was too slow and was kicked out soon, hahs.
And, happy birthday Rebecca!

Today was so tiring.
Arriving at 7.30am was useless since the room only opened when it was nearing 8am. We did loads of warm-ups and a rehearsal in the band room.
Left for the performance. We sounded so soft and my valve was slightly stuck even after oiling. Ahs. Don't think that it was good.
Practiced more and more. Had lunch too and the food this time was actually nice! Though the curry vegetables were too spicy and I had to leave them. Sigh.
Went back up in a rush since I waited for Rebecca. We weren't late though and arrived at the exact time, according to her.
More practicing while some people passed by. Dismissed at about 1pm.
I'm hungry! But there's no food at home yet.

So I tried making a blogskin. But my brother said that he didn't think it was nice, so I decided against it. At least I tried, eh? Will appreciate any comment about it!
I think I'll start blogging about band camp now. Be prepared. The time is based to the schedule we were given so no, I do not have such an amazing memory. It's likely estimated.
First day.
0800: Arrived at school and found out that my bag was freaking huge compared to the others. And way heavier too. Oh shoot. I brought too much, I guess.
0815: We first had a briefing and surrendered our handphones. Carrying my stuff up the 5 stories wasn't easy.
0900: Combined. Did some warm-ups and tried reading a new piece. I forgot the name of it, but I remember it consisted of high notes that terrify. Taufiq was there so I didn't get lost.
1200: Lunch! I was so hungry by then. Ate at the food court with Rebecca and Xue Qi and Mavis. But I had to leave early with others for a SLF rehearsal.
1315: Missed a little of the games since the SLF rehearsal was dragged longer than I expected. We still managed to play for awhile. Got split into groups and the group I was in played basketball. I didn't play much since I had no idea about the rules and stuff. I'm obviously not a big fan of sports. My stupid instinct to smack the ball away whenever it comes close also happened when we were supposed to catch it.
1530: Sectionals. Split into woodwind and brasses. I don't think anything interesting happened.
1700: Marching time. Too bad it was drizzling, so we didn't manage to move from our spot. It was much more enjoyable than I expected. Though I sometimes get commands mixed up, I managed to survive. Mr Yeo shouted the commands real loudly.
1800: Dinner and bath time. I followed the others and went to bathe before eating since we would have a better chance of finding a cubicle. I think we were limited to only 3 cubicles for bathing? We weren't the only CCA having and camp too, so it was crowded by the time I finished. Ate later and the food was so unappetising.
1930: Combined practice. I can't remember much. I think we tried reading a new song titled 'Pursuit'. I was lost almost immediately, ahh.
2130: Then it was music/video apprecation time and we had a long talk about it. Got to listen to come music pieces too. There were no videos, sadly.
2230: Started packing and washing up. Also got told that we wouldn't be staying overnight tomorrow but heading back home due to the lack of space.
2300: Went to the ISH and prepared for sleep. Chatted with the others for awhile and almost everyone was still awake. When we were on the topic of chinese names, I actually asked Xue Qi what her chinese name was. It's sad how my brain refuses to think before speaking casually. Almost got to sleep but Xue Qi woke me up by poking me. I managed to sleep shortly after she stopped talking. I think Rebecca was the first to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night again as I always do for no reason. Gosh it was freakingly quiet. Took me awhile to get back to sleep.
Day 2.
0630: Woke up early while feeling strangely awake. Washed up and changed.
0715: Went down for breakfast! We had to wait for half an hour more since it arrived late. I was starting to feel really sleepy by then. The breakfast consisted of a nugget, some pizza about the size of your fist and a chocolate roll. I didn't eat the chocolate one since I don't like having sweet stuff in the morning, so I ate another pizza from XQ, who didn't want it. It felt good being stuffed. Hahs.
0800: Had sectionals for awhile, I think. Remember Taufiq coming and teaching me the piece 'Mamma Mia'. Hayyan was walking around, oh gosh. But he managed to play some parts.
1030: Games time again. I saw Amellia at the basketball court. We played captain's ball at the field, which was wet and muddy. My shoes, ahh. The ball was wet too. I got to be the defender since no one else went there. Hahas, that was the only position I knew how to play anyways. It sure was more fun than yesterday, ignoring that fact that my shoes were really muddy. I passed by Amellia again when heading back up. Heard her say something about a 'flower'. Hmmmm.
1200: Lunch time, but we had to go for another SLF rehearsal. We practiced more this time since we were given unlimited time. Arms were so sore after carring the stuff up and down. Ate lunch afterwards.
1315: Combined practice. Did 'Mamma Mia' and also read another new piece titled 'Symphonium'. I think its a great new song, though I will really need time to learn it.
1600: Marching was cancelled. People performing for the SLF thing stayed back for more practice. So yea, I arrived home at about 6pm. Or was it 5pm?
It felt so nice to be back home! I ate dinner almost at once as I was starving. Ah, home food tastes so good. Then bathed and watched movies with my brother while eating junk food. Yea, my family rented movies while I was out. Great, uh?
So! About today's band practice.
Arrived at school and went up. Was almost late because I waited for the others to finish talking.
Did the warm-ups and stuff. I can't remember much of what happened today. I'm getting old, sigh.
Had some breakfast break that was about half an hour long. I slept through it since I wasn't hungry. Yet.
Had combined again and the SLF perfoming people went over to the music room for practice. I now have to stand and perform.
Got released at 12pm.
Wow this is quite a long post.
SLF performance is tomorrow. Wish us luck.

The bathroom smells like apples and strawberries, oh gosh. Sister's using those kind of fruit-scented soaps, which I think smells too sweet. Ah, my nose.
Started watching 'Paranormal Activity' at about 1am the day before yesterday. Yes, my brother somehow convinced me to watch it with him at such a late hour. We didn't finish it though since it was getting late and mom and dad were coming home soon. It was still scary enough to creep me out though.
I still have yet to pack up for tomorrow's camp. Aren't I prepared?
5:47 PM
My life is totally boring nowadays, so yeah. This explains the lack of posts. Been either using the computer for FB, playing the DS or reading books.
Realised that East Spring Primary, my former primary school, is gonna change their uniform! Am jealous.
Oh yea, I'm going off for band camp tomorrow until friday. So don't expect much posts. Hopefully, I'll come back with a new blogskin too.

Stock used:
Girl,
texture.
Mhmm. I really like the colours. The girl also looks so innocent.
How long has it been since I last edited something?
Band practice today as usual. We had combined, then sectionals. People who were performing for the SLF had to stay back to practice the selected pieces. There was about only 1 from each section. So yeah, I stayed back. Turns out that we'd be performing 'Ponyo' and 'Big band play folk songs'. Was kinda worried that we had to learn a new one, but then I guess I got worried for nothing, as usual.
After some practicing we got back with sectionals. James and I practiced individually as always. Sigh. I think he finds me annoying as I keep trying to correct him.
Got briefed about the band camp held next wednesday. Ahhhh, I wonder if I can manage to sleep. I also will sure to have problems tying my hair since it takes me kind long to get it right. However, the good news was that we would have an hour or so for lunch. This means that I will be able to go home for that period. Yeah!
I'm feeling tired nowadays, but can't seem to sleep. Urgh.

I feel so lazy nowadays. No way am I starting on my homework anytime soon. Hah.
Well, band practice started at 3pm. I woke up at about 11am, 1 hour later than I intended to.
We mostly had combined. I can't really remember what happened. Hmm.
The lower brasses went with Mr Yu to the music room, which included the trombones, tuba and us. James is now going back to playing the euphonium scores instead of 3rd trombone. We practiced and went back for combined.
Heard the band improving, yay.
I think I'll try working on a new blogskin soon. Need inspiration though.

HeyHey.
Almost forgot that wed'd be having a class trip today. Hahas.
Woke up early and reached school. Had to wait for quite awhile for the bus to finally arrive. I sat with Amellia since both of us planned to sleep.
Arrived at the Anchor Green Primary School. Didn't take any pictures since I didn't bring the camera along. Mhmm, the school sure is big and colourful.
After the tour we walked around to view the stuff.
Also managed to find out which class we're going to next year. Grace, Wei Chuan and I got into triple science as planned. Amellia and Amanda will be heading for another class, sigh.
The area was fairly interesting. Realised that Grace likes to ask loads of questions, lol. Especially when we were told about the fact that the pressed orchid, inside the dictionary, was placed in an oven for heating. Yeah, it kinda makes me wonder why the dictionary doesn't burn too. Visited one where there were handmade soap. Gosh the primary school children were so cute. Then we went to some kind of board game thing. There was a maximum of 4 players so we managed to play. I won the game, and got food! Hahas, I was so hungry then.
Waited for the bus to arrive and so we sat at some bench.
The area where we were to view our streaming results was seriously packed. We waited for our turn even though we already knew our results. It doesn't hurt to be sure, hehz.
I think I'm probably going on a hiatus soon. Well, I'm gonna be gone for a few days due to band camp next week.

Sheep: I apologise, Mr/Ms Sheep. Be assured that I have decided to change. Moo.

Did I mention that I hate my sister?
Band practice today was so... awkward. I tried teaching Hayyan, as Cherise wasn't there due to her illness. Gosh, I feel pathetic. The entire practice was probably spent on sectionals.
Realised that there still is a spot on my nail where some super glue stuck onto. Wow, it has already been months. I also find it hard to remember a time where my fingers didn't get stuck while using it. Shall not doubt the power of the super glue again.
I have no intention of starting on my holiday homework anytime soon. Meh.

Hehz, guess I don't really feel like blogging nowadays.
I NEED GAMES! And ice-cream. Its a sudden craving, I know.
Am jealous of my brother watching "Jennifer's Body". Well, I screamed and told him it was NC16 when he said he was going out to watch it, but he just had to remind me that he WAS 16. Bahs.
Also need a new blogskin. Though, don't expect one soon. Its been quite long since I last made one...

Woke up at 7.30am. Left the house at about 8.40am and saw Rebecca at the cafe. Turned out that she wanted me to help her with some math question, but in the end I didn't even know how to do it too. Hah, my math skills are dying.
The seniors didn't come because of some enrichment programme, but I wasn't really expecting him to anyways. We had combined throughout. Mr Yu took the brasses while Mr Yeo went for the woodwinds. Cherise and Hayyan have to work on their note reading. They are able to read, but not fast enough and thus sometimes get lost.
Got released earlier by 30minutes.
Gosh I'm hungry.

Trombonist: Oh! You were sitting behind me, so I guess I didn't see you. Hahas.

I woke up at 11am. Well, I planned to at 10am but was too lazy.
Band practice started at 3pm but I went extra early. The room was practically filled with sec1s. Apart from me and a few other seniors.
Mr Yu did the warm-ups. Also found out that he'd be replacing Ms Leong.
Anyways, we did 'Procession to Peace'. James was missing. His attendance is horrible.
Had to do sectionals in the room and thus it was really noisy. I had to shout most of the time, though I don't think it worked. Cherise and Hayyan improved, in some ways. They still aren't sure of their note-reading though. Spent the entire sectional practice on them. Wonder when I'd be able to practice.
I was almost freezing to death in the room, but no one else seemed distrubed by the temperature. Who the hell sets the air-conditioner to such a low temperature anyways?!
Next band practice will be on wednesday.
I need a new blogskin, but I feel too lazy to actually work on one.

Today, a girl was presenting a speech about a career in nursing, and someone asked if blood bothered her. Her response? "No, I'm a girl." I don't think that I have ever laughed so hard at the frightened look on so many boys faces. MLIA
LOL.

Amellia: Hahas, I was feeling random.
O.Weichuann , ♥: I posted it because its funny and true. Btw, I don't understand why you laughed...
