the one holding my soul.

we held together in one big circle. . .
we hugged and cuddled as one. . .
we waited and listened frm band 1 to 11..
we waited and waited. . .
finally when it was our turn. ..i saw mok and nikki jumping like crazy! haha!
we got GOLD WITH HONOURS!

man it was like a relieve. . .=)

from my first band prac till yesterday, it was enjoyable experience band practices all the way with the j2s.work relatively hard with million sectionals and selfprac and watching of berlin phil. . .

yest started off with me reaching ALMOST late to school cos there was no bus. i was ready in all whites and my black court shoes. it was SHINY until the rain all destroy my pretty shoes but wadeva its not the main point..

reached sas where people are already practising like hell. bascially gearing up for the toughest syf to be man. we warmed up with MrG's very productive long warm ups.it gave me ample time to find my good syf reed man.. hehe.i had like 3 reeds which are useable.but in the end i use reed number 4! haha! thats my paganini reed man..

by the time its was like 115, we were on our way to SCH! somehow when i reach there. . when the woodwinds and brasses alighted frm the bus i could really smell that SUCCESS coming out:D everyone was looking so confident.. as in really confident though with slight nervousness. . .

we reported at the registration where many ppl (like ms ho and the guys there) tried to keep the saints in 3rows.. BUT its just so difficult! haha! when we were acting like kids downstairs, those 2nd floor ppl are giving the "wa sia la sajc band" look.. haha! then we chop chop eat our DAMN long and big mars bars and headed to the tuning room. . .

we had a screaming session man. almost blew the whole house down! haha:D we did our warm ups instead of our tuning which i was quite worried at the beginning but after hearing our chord. . .i wasnt worried man. den we left the room and headed fr the stage...

we walk on stage with pride man. . . it was really saints on stage! believe it or not our chord felt like a orchestra making that church organ sound.. it was beautiful.
den we went up performing our safari and Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini! it felt like paganini was with us on fig17 man.. when we performed finish,a million ppl cheered for us. haha! in the hall and outside. . .

it was a beautiful ending for the j2s.. they were so happy about the results:) i saw rachel cried, junjie cried.. nikki who almost cried.. mok who jumped like a small boy. .. haha.i hugged my baby when we got the results.. and kk too.somehow the results was really an important factor.it showed that all our efforts actually paid off. . .

and we acted like real saints when we sang our sch song and "when the saints go marching in" inside the SCH..
haha!

quite sad though..
i will miss my section j2s..
people like niki whose face adds to the benny's entertainment!
people like pam with her stimes squeky eflat sound..
rachel fr her million nonsense. . .
love birds fr always being so lovey lovey!

i hope there's pres night for us and we can play paganini again man!
