last local Bn outfield.

This week's last Bn outfield was rather quite relaxing for me n my bty, esp for D6.. 1stly, 4d3n exercise last min changed to 3d2n... haha.. 2ndly, 7-ton happened to breakdown in the middle of the road, end up doing 1 less deployment.. :D somemore 2nd nite got Bn BBQ.. shiok la.. eating bbq prawn, satay, chicken wing etc etc(plus our self supplied beer!!) during outfield is an enjoyment.. The only sucky thing was that after ex finish go back camp still need settle stores n handover standby items to bravo..

today best.. morning's 7km live run cancelled due to rain.. slpt all the way till 10plus.. :D afternn packed most of the stuffs for india trip... den evening go spec mess 'celebrate' deepavali n makan indian cuisine.. den book out!

gosh, juz gotten the set piece n scales for syco audition on 25th nov.. hope got enuf time to prac before audition.. :D

Cc pract n julian's bday celebration.

I thought today's pract at cc was quite good, and i was quite satisfied with the attendance.. only thing we're lacking now is the need for more erhu, zhongruan, pipa and cello players for a more balanced orchestra.. another thing is that members really need to put in effort in reaching on time for pract.. the best scenario i can ever imagine happening is that by 9.30 the whole orchestra can be sitted there waiting for conductor to start pract.. haha..

Went to E!hub to celebrate julian's bday after pract.. played arcade 1st.. haha.. the look-out-for-the-diff-between-the-two-photos game was fun and challenging.. after that we ate at this bbq chicken shop.. the 7 of us(julian, huizhen, zhongming, mic, delia, noelene, me) ate 2 family meals.. plus the cake mic n delia purchased from Prima, it was awwwwwssooome(for my stomach) haha... sinful sinful... (will post photos for the celebrations after i receive from mic..) after that went home.. :D

practice today.

today's prac at bhcc went quite well as usual... joel and jun yuan really make good erhu partners.. haha! they actually can play sai ma in this manner: 2erhus, and they each play using each other's bow. Seriously challenging but super entertaining.. haha.... other than practising, mr ng taught us about posture today and i tot it was quite useful for us as performers on stage.. arghz.. still need more prac on bawu to improve for the feng wei zhu song... jiayou jonny!

Prof test week.

This week's been quite similar to previous weeks.. only dat this week we had the 'outfield' in camp, doing det prof test.. luckily for d6 we were blessed with a good deployment ground for action front cease fire.. for hooking unhooking was quite lucky too cos was given time to read up the 'secret manual' a night before the test. For misfiring drill, haha.. i kinda screw up but shud be still pass la. haha.. Results not computed yet, but hopefully pass with not so bad result la... :D if results are good, i seriously think 90% credit goes to the men, 10% for me only.. gun knowledge too lousy le and cant really memorise things last min, plus answering 'uncle momo' makes one super stress.. haha.. answer actually correct he can confuse you till you give wrong answer.. power la.

sianz.. doing COS now in office.. super boring. zzz

Sng: we're having outfield now!
DJ: Wah! now can bring n use phone at outfield ar?!
Sng: yea.. now 3G army mah!
DJ: woah ok..!

stressed... left with LESS THAN 2mths to concert, yet still got so many things not settled. haiz.
