holidays over

Its been a while since I posted. Thats because the holidays have completely drained off my time... I shouldn't be posting now, got lots of homeowork to do. Better write this in 10 mins max or else will have no time to finish homework!!!

Band camp was fun, but next year, I'm going to make sure the catering is at least edible. Well, no, it wasn't really inedible, but my group found we were eating the same lunch twice, thanks to Russell/Dao Bo handing us the extra lunch packets. For soccer, it was good, apart from an episode where the ball got stuck on one of the ledges next to the Admin block windows, and another time when our bassoonist sprained/broke his wrist because someone rammed in into the goal (well he was the goalie).

I still don't see the point of watching Phantom of the Opera... when we have cynical critics like Andy running about. It is IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy a movie (or for that matter anything) when the person next to you keeps harping about how ugly the lead soprano is or how stupid it is for the actors to sing every other line or something like that. And when I asked him to just go to sleep, he started criticizing even more, and asking when it would be over.

Section dinner/LANning ROCKED. I now see why everyone (no exceptions!) likes to LAN. Computer (well DOTA) + hanging out with friends = lots of fun. Except the dinner, where we ate at Pepper Lunch which is easily found in Junction 8 fight next to our school, for 2x the price or something.

For the musical exchanges... at least I now know that other bands are still... like... mortal or something. They make mistakes too. So, we aren't doing that badly. Our Sunrise was the best, but choice piece was OFF TUNE in the chorales. Storm was OK. At the end of the Anglican High exchange, Mr Oura went to put all the SLs of each band together to form some "dream band", and played Sunrise with them. Woah. If only we could enter SYF with them.

BTW, it was so... satisfying to see all the other bands reaction to Andrew's Sunrise solo. I sneaked a peek at the audience while he was playing and they were all open mouthed. Well, I shouldn't be so happy; its not even like MY solo or MY section or MY effort. Its just... MY band?

OK, back to homework.
