50th post today!!! But on to other matters.

Who: Raffles Institution Military Band
What: Con Brio - A concert.
When: 06/07/07 (Friday), 7:30 PM
Where: Raffles Institution Auditorium

As Why and How are best left unanswered, let me go on with the repertoire.


Not in order (mostly):

Carmen Fantasy -- pls no...
Mononoke Hime Melody -- expressively nice
Gershiwn! -- o!e my favourite
And Then The Ocean Glows -- exhausting
Spanish Fever -- exhilarating
Snow Caps -- loud and nice
Bandwagon -- hard... sort of...
Whistle While You Work -- not too bad
It's A Small World -- arrgh


I can't remember the rest offhand. But its still an exhausting effort.

Intensive practice up till Friday. Must sleep now to recharge for tomorrow.


--- interesting quotes ---

Note: I shall try not to offend anyone.

Quotes someone somewhere:

In 2005, RI Swim Team C'Div won the nationals. The Straits Times said that *some school* pledged to win it back next year.

2006, we won again. The Straits Times said *some school* did well.

This year, we hope that the Straits Times will just say that they better stay on dry land.

*SUPER LOUD claps* from audience.
