A Tired Saturday

Yesterday, a co-curriculum day for all the students. I arrived at school at 8am as usual. Our band starts at 9am starting from this because the principal has changed it to 2 in 1 club (Uniform body & club only). That's mean we committee must plan our practices properly to avoid time waste.

Before band, Elizabeth & I decided to play chess as we do not have time to play on every Friday. We join chess club to get kk marks for sports part. Surprise Right? Everyone feels weird when we heard that chess club is under sports. If you translate it to BM, you wouldn't feel weird. It's "Sukan dan Permainan". During chess.

Eli: Hey, do you know how to play chess? (setting up the chess)
Me: No. I do not have the chess skill. How about you?
Eli: I know how to play a bit.
Me: We can play chess until 8.20am only because we need to prepare our stall.
(that time was 8.15am)
Eli: Erm..... Ok!

Elizabeth was trying to teach me how to play.

Eli: Hey! Your turn now!
Me: Ok!!! How to "walk"?
Eli: "Walk" vertically or horizontally.
Me: Ok... (clueless)
Eli: Oh... It's 8.20am now. We keep now.
Me: Ok!

Then, 5sc1 students prepared our "Yummy Yummy" stall. We sold honeydew juice, coconut juice.ice-cream and puddings. Mdm Tan a.k.a Amanda's mum come and help us. Even my form teacher brought her maid to come and help us!

It was 9am. Elizabeth a.k.a. drum major and I a.k.a. conductress need to proceed to the music room. Both of us hate band now!! Every week, we need to shout "Keep Quiet!!!!" for at least 6 times!! It's so TERRIBLE & ANNOYING!!! We have no idea that why they like to talk so much. So, we decided to give them pumping. On that day, we practised marching for Sport's day at parish centre for 30 minutes.

After break, they had a test from me! Elaine a.k.a. my assistant and I test them the Sport's day songs, "Spartans" and "Final Countdown" according to their sections. The best groups of the day were Basses and Clarinets!! The worst group was Saxophones!! They failed both of the songs! Elaine and I were so embarassing because of us are saxophonists! Without Clarissa, my best junior, Elaine and I, the quality of the section drops to negative value! They are too depent to us!!

Gambateh, My dearest saxophonists!
You guys can do it without Clarissa, Elaine & I!!

Mr Marvin, our band instructor didn't come yesterday. He asked me to teach the band a new jazz piece, "Sideline Shuffle". It's a nice piece! To avoid all the sections to get scolded on the next practice, I helped up with the melody part (the rhythm is so hard for some of them). Elaine helped up with the accompaniment part. They managed to play the whole piece correctly in about 1 hour. But I still need to polish up the song during the next practice.

After band, I need to rush to parish centre to attend church youth meeting.All the committee members did not agree the choir group to have their activity on the same day and venue with our youth camp. While we were planning the camp activities, something happened.

Me: We should have a worship section before the talk.
Ah Dau(president): Don't call it as worship section.
Me: Oklah... Fine... Sing "K" (in mandarin is chang k) loh.....
Ah Dau: Ok... nice name! (as usual, laugh continuously)

Then, the participants of KYCS FORMATION 2009 came down for lunch. We need move to the corridor outside the parish centre. Martin, one of the committee member joined the ycs stuff too.

Martin: Hey, I saw you people did band marching in the morning.
Me: Ya...
Martin: I saw you holding a flute!! Haha...
Me: Hah?? Oh.. that's not flute lah!!
(PS: Actually I'm holding a trumpet..)

After meeting, I introduced them to have a high tea at Satok Walk.

Ah Dau: Hey, you guys want to form a band?
Bernard: What kind of band? Is it the band like Ginny's band?
Me: Hah?? (Clueless)
Ah Dau: A band lah!!
Me: A rock band? A big band? A simple band? Or a marching band like mine? If you want a
band kind of my school band, I'll be crazy. It's so hard to control them.
Ah Dau: A band that has electris guitar,bass guitar,keyboard and drum set.
Peter: Can!! You see, our committee members got a few of musucians. Keyboardist,
guitarist,violinist & drummer. But, who is going to sing?
Me: Ah dau loh.... haha...
Ah Dau: Steven, help me find Beyond's concerts. I want to watch.
Steven: I don't know where to download bo...
Me: Ah dau, why you want to watch. You must be want to see them how to form a band
right?
Everyone: Hahaha!!
