wad in the world is up.

finally. i'm a free man.

OP'us 2011 was definitely a blast. we blew the audiences away. i couldn't put into words how i felt throughout the entire process of preparing for this concert as well as the feeling when it was all over. two months ago, i had my SYF competition and it wasn't very impressive in terms of the result. and here i am, two months later, pulling off an awesome concert together with my fellow musicians and alumnus. we played nothing but music and i can really feel it through my body. tremors of awe just shook my body when the last three notes of Third Symphony 'The Tragic' Movement IV (Finale) was played. and there goes. four years in a Wind Orchestra is over. i never thought i could pull through. i even thought of quitting it in sec two. but i am standing stronger than ever and proud to say that i was a band member. i was from Orchid Park Wind Orchestra.

to be honest, concert day never felt like a concert day yesterday. but to be more honest, i started panicking a week before concert day because i know i couldn't play all the notes to tempo. i even thought of coming back to sectional everyday. in the end, i had no choice but to squeeze everything one day before the concert day itself. i was panic-stricken but it was great. i felt calm on the concert day. and it didn't feel like a concert. it felt like another rehearsal. and it was the and utmost superb rehearsal ever. i can tell anyone, that they have missed out so much of great music within the two hours. not to brag, but that's fact.

so i guess now all that's left to do for me and the sec fours is to relax and think about our studies. we would all eventually get use to not waking up early on Saturdays but for beginners, it is going to take awhile. i would feel odd going back home early on Wednesday and Friday and not sleeping early on Friday night to wake up on Saturday morning. but this is all memories. i would definitely visit the band some day. maybe when i am really free. but not right after i stepped down. that would just be awkward. to be honest, i can't wait to step down and pass over all the responsibility to the juniors. i've done my part for the year and it's their turn. i know everyone is feeling sad and reluctant to move on and so do i. but hey, you're not going to live forever. life has to go on. now the band without a conductor is just sad. the new batch going to take over the band has to do alot of work. and i really hope that they can do it proper. pray for the best.

and i napped like ten times today. it's called post-concert syndrome. damn i should really get up now.

Limited.

No hugs today. I sent her home with no goodbye hugs. It was meant to be a norm. I don't know what her reason was but it didn't really matter. Although through that, i am starting to suspect something amiss. The topic of the incident (previous post) was brought up again in BK while we were having late dinner. Things she said that i realised: 1) it was my fault to have kept things from her 2) it was my fault that things are worse off now than before 3) it's as though she wants me out I don't know what to infer. I mean as best as i could, i would do everything right and treat her right. But of course, i'm only human that makes mistakes like texting a girl behind her back and still keeps her secrets (what a douche!). I'm sad. I'm utterly disappointed in myself that i wasn't telling her every single thing there could be said. Oh i was damn wrong on that. In recent times, she keeps mentioning names of people who're far better looking than me in schoo...

the Sunday before Christmas.

wow. so much for homework day. it turns out to be a catastrophe. i didn't even touch my homework! argh. woke up quite early, as compared to other days. but mother had plans already and no choice but to follow her. went out to visit my cousin who just gave birth to a baby girl. extremely adorable. then went home for awhile. went out again to NEX at Serangoon to walk about and see what's there. honestly, it was a total waste of time. ate late lunch at Wendy's and went home. and now i have totally no mood to do anything since tomorrow i'll be heading out of Singapore already. i should totally bring my homework along and try to squeeze as much as i can into the limited time i'm already having. DAMN. k, Sunday's proved unproductive. maybe my brain works during weekdays. screwed. see you in three days time starting from tomorrow, humans. shit TOTALLY happens but life has to go on.
A NEUTRON WALKS INTO A BAR AND ORDERED A BEER. WHEN ASKED FOR THE BILL, THE BARTENDER SAID, "FOR YOU, NO CHARGE!" - BIG BANG THEORY I WANNA GO WATCH DAVID CHOI SO BADLY! ANYONE KIND ENOUGH TO ACCOMPANY ME? PRETTY PLEASE. :D maybe, just maybe, you're the reason i became so strong. but for sure you're the reason i can't sleep. aren't you tired? you've been running through my mind all day! no, no. this is not called emotional. but if it is, then it is all your fault for not making me happy. what would you wish for, if you had one chance? i'd wish for you and i to become us .
