GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE! (Well, actually, it's, well, 8.11 pm as I write this), THE WORLD SAYS HELLO! In any case... today I brought my eupho home. Miss Lim said she wasn't sure if RJ had enough, but I already told my father to like, fetch me?! So I had no choice. Now I don't know how to bring it back to school. Just great, right? Sigh... I'm going to try and practice my high notes so and fast parts so at least I won't like, you know, make a fool of myself for REACT. Today's FAREWELL... I didn't get a present coz I didn't know if I had to. OMG I FEEL SO BAD. THEY EVEN GAVE CHOCOLATES. EEEEE. I feel really bad.Jeez. Tomorrow is TEACHER'S DAY! YAY GOING BACK TO ROSYTH. I can't wait. LOVELY FRENCH FRIES HERE I COME. BUT. Oh shucks. Pimples. Oh man, that sure is a dampener. :) Never mind. I WILL EAT!Hazel

Ok, today I was rather pissed off as well. In the morning, Min Ee got there the same time as I did. So she waited for me. It isn't the first time. I will be talking to Yu Teng, then suddenly she butts in and then Yu Teng is left ignored. Which is awkward for her, coz she doesn't know Min Ee. Grr.And! DAWN OF A NEW DAY IS VERY VERY DIFFICULT! OMG I FEEL LOUSY. WAY LOUSY. And today when Samantha was going to leave, Emily lay down on the floor and said step over me first. AND SHE DID. And Drum Major Ee Iyn said eeee later you see her panties. AAAAA. Me, Huijun, Zi En and Mary near died of shock. Can you believe it?! Haha.Hazel~

Today, was the exams. I didn't mind, especially not if I could go home to play Maple. But then, they announced that they were switching off the power in my home area for maintenance work so I couldn't play. Never mind. That was, at least, bearable. Then, when I got to school, my group announced that we had to stay back two hours... to do the sequence. I thought, Never mind, since the power is off, so I can't play anyway... Might as well stay back. Maybe I can even do some indiv-ing... Then they gave this freakingly difficult routine for us to do. I started getting pissed from then. I tried not to show it.So, we went down to the track because there was more space. I did a bit reluctantly, but Min Ee looked pissed. And she said that we had to do it properly... etc. We went to the classroom after that to do it with the music. Obviously, things didn't go at all. I told them I can't do the forward roll! Then Jodie said that I have to do it, coz otherwise Mrs. J may say how come I never do anything and later she scold. So I told them that she knows that I can't do it! Then she said so? Just do it lar!Min Ee and Jodie said me and Mich had to memorise it otherwise we would fumble and ruin the thing. Min Ee said then we would lose points for the WHOLE GROUP. Then at the end, Mel had to go early. Mich asked if the routine was a little bit to complicated. Min Ee said No! In what way is it complicated? It's already very easy ok! Jodie went Yea! Then what do you guys want us to do? Cut out one minute? Of our like, two minutes? What if Mrs. J says something like it had to be two minutes? Min Ee said Yea, and it's not exactly far to Jodie too... she did a lot for this choreography... and last Friday, me Mel and her stayed back and you two didn't stay back. And Mich, last Friday you didn't have anything on and you still didn't go. Jodie said And it's not like it's out fault the assessment is TOMORROW.Me- Sorry if I had something on, then!Jodie And I actually ponned CCA to do this thing with you guys ok?!Me- Erm hello, I actually missed indiv-ing to do this thing? Jodie- Whatever... I am so pissed. I mean, hello? People who live in the perfectionist world are SOOOOO never going to be happy. And when I got home, they said the power had been switched off so I could have played Maple, if I had just indived for an hour or so, reached home at three, then played. Which made me MORE pissed.I don't know why Min Ee is so perfectionist... this is just gym. It's a SMALL matter. It's not even a project! Not everything has to be perfect sometimes. Some people actually have lives to live, without everything being perfect. It's ok for her, it's ok for Jodie. THEY can do every part of the routine. But for me? Mel? WE can't do the forward roll. And Mel was just so nice, saying that she can just try and all that. And Mich hasn't had a successful headstand yet, and they expect her to do one in, like 10 seconds, with me as supporter, when I have NEVER done it. Do they even realize that this sequence was choreographed in terms of THEIR needs? Actually, not even needs, they just want the sequence to be perfect, not even caring if their group members can even do it or not. And they said it WASN'T complicated. Sure, for THEM it isn't!I can bet that other groups one will be funny, they will do it while joking and all that, and even if they mess up half way they will start laughing and make a joke out of it all. If WE flunk, however, I can actually guess what Min Ee will do. Next time, I don't even want to be in the same group as her, not even for Netball Carn. She just gets me pissed off, what with her incessant moans and groans about hair, weight, height, etc. And Twilight. Before I actually asked her if she read it, she hated it. Then she started loving it. Well, if I can help it, I'm not watching the movie with her. I would rather go with my Band friends or Mich and Lisa. I do realise all this has been written in a fit of anger which has lasted me the whole day. It's been ages since I got so angry. But in any case, I can tell you I am NOT looking forward to tomorrow. Lurves... I can't take it out on you people reading my blog, it will be unfair to you XDHazel

BUT Andrea said that it cannot be handwritten AND because I accidentally printed out one Intro wrongly, I cancelled it out and wrote over it. How now? DIE LO.Sigh... And because of today Geog movie thing cannot play Maple already. I miss it like crazy. Sigh... And three exams on Monday which I am going to die for? GEOG-- WATER.

Today's Chinese Oral exam was freaky. The conversation went like this: (some parts translated)Teacher: 你知道什么是博客吗？(I don't know how to write blog, yeah...)Me: hah？！Teacher: BlogMe: Orh...Teacher: (translated) Please elaborate.Me: blah blah blah blah in Chinese. Then the teacher was like going to say something...Me: blah blah blahblahblah!Teacher: 哦对不起。请继续。Me: blah blah blah.Teacher: 好。还有什么要补充的吗？Me: HAH?!I was seriously freaked. And Huang HuiJun! What is with HoneyJ?! That is seriously DISTURBING OK. Batchmates, agree? Btw, Huijun, today when we were having Geog, and then this random girl walked in, looked outside, then slowly closed the door, then still while looking outside, sat down on an extra chair near the door. Then we were all staring at her. Miss Wong said "What are you doing in here?" And the girl said "Er, we are having Oral so can I sit in here?" Which was seriously weird. We all thought she had to borrow some air-con remote or something... -.-And today in Philo class. Classmate A was like, falling asleep, her head was lolling around on her neck. I don't wanna sound like a prude or something... but seriously, it was a bit obvious and I think Mr. Lim noticed but he just didn't want to say anything about it. Which wasn't too bad, yeah... We meet up every morning in the canteen. Which isn't too bad. Except it sort of eats into my homework time XD Just joking! Haha. Popular still hasn't given me my Breaking Dawn yet, but hopefully tomorrow after 3rd language my father is picking me up, and so I can go collect the freaking book. Grr. Tomorrow is French exam. Holy. DXHazel <3

Lala... Anyway, official batch name already! BANDage! I like it. Sort of. At first I wanted BANDelette. But I was outvoted. Sigh... Anyway, Wanyi said that we could call ourselves whatever we wanted... but officially BANDage. Oh yeah... Feels weird now without Band in the day, yeah? Well, I guess I was sort of used to you know... going home late, going home on crowded buses, going on while standing up in a bus, getting humiliated in Band... being mortified because I couldn't do warm ups... which I still can't do... My sister's friend didn't know how to do blogskins. She called my sis, asking what was a tagboard. Seriously. Then... my very kind sister- NOT- offered to help her, so now she's saying stuff like: Its not your computer ok... I only went on in the morning for half an hour... Blah blah. Blah. Erm, her friend actually doesn't know what the tagboard is. Oh dear god. I'm seriously freaking out because of massive homework load... I really shouldn't be doing this... Playing Maple and ferryhalim.com, and I haven't even gone to onemanga... Yesterday Andrea said she watched so much Bleach she dreamt of killing Dawne. She stabbed Dawne with a ruler, and suddenly blood spurted out and Dawne died. Then she dreamt she punched a prefect, and the prefect fell down the amphi. Does this have any connection to the fact that Dawne is an SL? Today was Leti's birthday... I wanted to get her a present, but then I didn't have time. And... well... I ACTUALLY completed ICT tasks. Can you believe it? Hah! Lurves... Hazel BANDage

Anyway, since I forgot to pay 85 bucks to Talia for the previous week... My direct sms me and asked: just to check did you pay Talia? And I was like: SHOOT! I TOTALLY FORGOT! OH GOD. So I smsed back SORRY x a 1000 times... And this morning... I was like, going with Yixian to find Talia. I couldn't find her. She wasn't in the corridor. So I was hyperventilating, and didn't dare to step into the corridor coz there was a bunch of Sec 3s there. But since I had to, I did. She wasn't there. So I hyperventilated all the way to the foyer with Yixian when I saw Talia there. At first YX was like: Hey, there goes your direct. Give her lah! I utterly REFUSED. When I saw Talia, I was like THANK GOD. So I gave her. And she said: Eupho right? Sorry I came late. And she was smiling and all! OMG SHE IS SO NICE. Plus she is SEC THREE. Wait, is she? Can't remember. SHE IS SOOOO NICE! I bet the Sec 1s next year are going to LOVE her. XDHazelGtg change my Band batch blog post, HYQ is forcing me to do so... dno why tho... she was the one who forced me to post on the batch blog...

I'm pissed. Ok, maybe not. Not that much, anyway. A negligible amount. Anyway, today, I arrived home at 1.50pm in quite a good mood, coz it was early... and then my sister said: "You wanna play?" When I walked in the door. So I was like: "Urm... no...? I have this project due on Friday, and I need to finish it by today." Then she said: "What! I have this assigment! Computer!" So I told her to use the super laggy PC. She, of course, refused. And she went: "Eh you have been going on the computer everyday!" So I told her this project was urgent. And she actually said: "My assignment is handed up tomorrow!" Like I believed her. But in any case... so she said: "You have been going on everyday since two months ago!" And I felt like telling her: "Um, excuse me? Mondays I have third language, and Wednesdays third lang and Band, so those two days are so out coz by the time I bathe and eat, its already 8 plus and there is no way I'm going on, what with all the work. Then on Tuesdays and Thursdays there is Band, so no chance of going on as well. Therefore the only day is Friday. And only for the past TWO weeks, I went on on Sunday. So unless Friday is a week to her, then yeah, I go on everyday every week." But I told her: "Um, duh? The project is spread out over three months." But anyway, she threatened to sms my mother and tell her I was going on the computer all the time. And I was like, who cares, I already told her I am on already. But she was like, smsing- probably just to her friend... -.-Then her friend called and she said: "No I can't! My sis says she has this huge project to do... Um, no? Duh... she goes on like everyday?! I can go on the PC if you want, super laggy... Uh huh... Ok... Bye." Now she's on and isn't doing anything but chatting. So much for an assignment due tomorrow? Next time when SHE's sec 1, and has projects, I will complain... why is she going on to do 'fake projects' huh? And she says I go on to do work but in reality only check my mail. Fine, since mail is considered as playing games to her. And all her friends are the same, except for a few. They all think she's BRILLIANT and elder sisters suck. Which could say the same for younger sisters. Hello? Her piano exam in like, in two days and she is NOT practicing. And checking her mail now. And chatting more.I don't know why I put up with her sometimes. The weird thing is, I'm not even as angry as I should be. XD I must be going mad~ But enough now, I really have to do my Lit PT otherwise I'm doomed... Physics SPA on Thursday, doomed, we haven't even done that many practicals! Why is this year passing so darn fast? Oh dear god. DXHazel <3

The Lit PT is officially killing me. And all I can think about is Band fingerings. I cannot believe this... Anyway, I should post longer posts but I don't really feel like it. I'm too busy worrying about warm-ups and exams. Band rocks. Sort of. In a way. Mixed feelings... I enjoy it but there's pressure to play well, too...Sometimes... every step in life is a decision, and nearly every decision is regreted sometime or other... The only thing pushing me forward is the bed of roses waiting at the other end, and yet the route toward it is filled with thorns and brambles, waiting to scratch, injure... Every step could mean an injury, every step could mean a regret...Happy memories fade away, yet the thorns and brambles never let go... The feeling of hurt, despair, anger, sadness... they will always cling on, never to let go for eternity.All I wish for is just one day... one day to forget who I am, one day to forget my worries... Just for one day, is it that difficult?Fading...

Actually, I arrive home at 8.20 yesterday. Can you believe it? Band released at 6.30 and I reached home in like, TWO hours? I boarded 105 about 6.40 or so, then alighted at about 7.29. Then I waited for 73 for say, 40 mins? Until 8.10 or so. Then I finally reached home. GRRRR.
{{chiming}}|*|12:03 PM
Ok, yesterday totally hit pit bottom on my ratings since I entered RGS. I don't even want to think about all I went through yesterday. Sigh. Since I'm writing this only today... coz yesterday I was just TOO tired to even GO ON THE COMPUTER. Can you believe it? Coz I can't. So, lets flashback to... lets see... yesterday. Band prac.There was handover or something like that. Huijun ate three pieces of cake. The rest of us didn't. Even though HO YINGQIN very willingly volunteered that we wanted cake. So Delise went up saying, who wants cake? I serve personally leh! Then we were like it's Yingqing's fault lah! So I very generously donated my cake to Huijun. Yes. Then after that we had to practice.After I dno, one half hour of warm ups with me not being able to do any perfectly, as usual, Samantha took out this duet book. After playing a few songs... she said:"Ok first I will clap, then Amanda and Hazel will play. Then next Amanda will clap and Hazel and I will play. Then after that Hazel will clap and Amanda and I will play. ... Understand??"Me and Amanda nod our heads. "Ok, Amanda, since you are playing first eupho first, you get to choose the song. Do you want 50-50, or do you want to ask the audience?" Samantha said.I couldn't help but smile and laugh a bit. She's actually quite funny. So after that Amanda was flipping, flipping, and Samantha said 5 4 3 2 1. Amanda was then at Do-Re-Mi. Samantha said:"Ok, I close the book and open randomly arh..." And Amanda shook her head. So we played DoReMi. (DRM) Then in the 4 bar or so, Amanda suddenly stopped playing. I was like think: GAHHH! NOW WHAT! WHY SHE STOP!"Samantha said: Wait. Stop. This woman thinks that she can play DRM without even looking at the score, so I shall take this stand and show Hazel only, then you can just walk off and play then come back." By then I had to laugh a bit. So after that Amanda clapped. Then Samantha said:"Wait. Amanda, your clapping is like, Ta... Ta... Ta.. Ta.. Ta. Ta. TATATA." Actually, she demonstrated, but I can't very well show you now right? Then there were accents on the notes. Samantha said:See? Accents. Which are important. Like, for example, in speech, intonation is also VERY important. For example, I say... um... oh I slap Amanda. It's different from i slap AMANDA. Right? Then Amanda was laughing softly and I had to laugh too, coz the other time Amanda said Samantha also always threatens to slap her. So actually my direct isn't that bad. Being strict is one thing, but she can be nice, too. I just hope I get better. It really sucks not being able to play warm ups. On the bus, all I can think of now are warm-ups. Ditto when I'm bored. I think I'm going crazy.My direct is now SL. Which is obvious, seeing as she is the only Sec 3 Eupho. Which means next time I will be, too. Errkk. The thought of it... Anyway, it doesn't really matter, does it?And may EUPHOS rock on forever. (Eat your heart out, HYQ!)EUPHOS ROCK> BAND ROCKS> <3Hazel Euphoniumist (Euphoist? Euphonist?)

I do realise that most of my posts are about Band. What can I do? I LOVE BAND SO MUCH. (As Yingqin says...) Ok, so maybe that isn't so true. I don't LOVE IT SO MUCH but it's bearable, and I quite like it. Ok, I like it a lot. Sort of. It's difficult to say, really... I mean, I like music, any kind, and I like playing something that produces nice music. Yes. So... Anyway, I felt SO stupid today. I can't believe it. (3.15 in Band Corridor)Peixin: Yixian, come, warm up.Yixian: Orh. Ok.Me: *AHHHH HOW NOW?! WHAT TO DO?! I DUN SEE MY DIRECT!*Peixin: Oh Hazel you come too. Hazel: *OMG THANK GOD!*(Sitting on the chair...)Peixin: Hazel can you see the metronome???Hazel: Errrrr yess.... sort of...Peixin: You wanna sit like, somewhere nearer?And Mary was beckoning like mad for me to sit in front of the metronome. I was like: hah?! What did they say? Cannot hear!!!And then... And then... And then... Warm-ups. I feel lousy. I feel like I let my direct down. Really. I mean, I couldn't do the warm-ups! I cannot believe my lousiness.I can't do anything! NOOOOOOO. Sigh. Worries. Why can't I actually be good at something for once?Fading away...Hazel <3

AHHHHHH. Major FREAK OUT! Oh god, yesterday was the first time I practiced with Main Band. Words cannot even BEGIN to say how I felt! Oh god, why don't you guys just kill me and get it over with?
Lets just say it went this way:
(outside 104 classroom, Celine, Min Yi, Jamie, Aliza, etc.)
Jamie: Hey! We were just going to find you!
Aliza: Come, lets go now.
Hazel: I don't feel like going! I just wanna die... PLUS I still have a whole worksheet of simultaneous linear equations to dooooo! NOOOOOO.
Aliza grabs Hazel's sleeve.
Aliza: YOU HAVE TO GO!
Hazel: NO! MAYBE!
Hazel wrenches sleeve free and walks back to classroom.
(Later, 2.25, in Band Corridor)
Hazel: *OH GOD WHERE IS EVERYBODY AND WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!
Hazel has no choice but to sit down and buzz coz she does not know what to do...
(3.45... or so...)
Band member: *enters corridor* You are Hazel, right? Take your instru and come in.
Hazel goes in.
Hazel: * OH GOD EVERYBODY IS STARRING AT ME. WHY ARE THEY ALL SITTED ALR!
(Playing music...)
Hazel: LALALALALA~ OH WAIT A MINUTE! WHY ARE THEY PLAYING THE MELODY TO MARY HAS A LITTLE LAMB WHEN I AM PLAYING CHORUS OF FROGS! OH GOD! I'M PLAYING THE WRONG SONG!
*end*
NOOOOOO. I cannot say HOW EMBARASSED I WAS! I just wanna dig a hole and DIE.
And to YingQin: Excuse me, Madame, but I actually DO WORK OK! I don't spend all my time on the computer. But I have posted now. I do hope you are happy XD
