Life. (Part II) -JHOLS

Alright hiii .
So, I've changed my layout here once agaiiinnn hehehe going on simple this time.
so here's part two!

During the holidays, we had band practice, the following day after I came back from phuket. :) Phuket was very relaxing heh. Great getaway.
2 band practices were held and we were introduced to new pieces anddd, I'm gonna play the piccolo. Its an octave higher than flute, but fingerings of it stays the same.

Pieces that we were introduced was Somewhere over the rainbow, Lord of the dances, Stars and Stripes Forever, Gonna Fly Now etc... Lord of the Dance and The Stars and Stripes Forever are "band classics" and yeah. both pieces consists of piccolo solo. My fav of all is Lord of the Dance, it was like my earbug for a few days. make it 4. It's not gonna be easy for the band, but I believe that we can do it JYSBJYSB ALLLTHEWAY. ( oh and if I didn't mention, we're most likely taking part in the Winter Band Festival in HKDisneyLand . AWESOME. here's the link http://www.ravegroup.sg/winterbandfest/index.php )


yepyep and for the third week of the Holidays, a few of my friends and I participated in the music fiesta, IP songwriting competition, held at Singapore Polytechnic. It was a great experience. Its like a song writing competition with the theme of Intellectual Property which means ( to me ) Anti-Piracy and Copyright.
It was a 4 & 1/2 days Daycamp. Most of my close friends went for it. ( well all to be exact, excluding wifey :3 )
I don't think I should disclose any names here so I shall use nicknames or initials instead heh.
Hc, Fuz, Rl and I were in a group, our kind and friendly mentors were Pineapple and Giraffe and actually, half of the participants were from my school and ALL of us were actually cheering for JYSS and not actually the team haahha
We were in Group5Allegro while another closefriend group was in Group9Allegro. (Lets call them the boys' group)  We had to come up with a song in like 3 days and It wasnt easy. The boys' group's song was the most popular amongst all . "Why you PotongJalan my song, Why you potongjalan my lyrics, now I no money no money no more. Damn Damn." It went something like this. and the whole group had cool caps and the rapper/singer had 3 on his head so he turned them around after the chorus and everyone in the hall was like amused by it.
I played the keyboard in my group. I wanted to use the flute at first but. Keyboard seemed better. I only played the mainstream chords & rhythm ( really easy ones ) and yeah. I was so nervous for the first audition I screwed up some of them. Most of them actually.( and yes, there were 2 auditions, THEY TOOK AWAY OUR GAMES TIME. ) We didnt really put in our full full effort in the song cause we didnt intend to win it ( i dont think we had the potential too either ) But I think our song was still okay. Its called Give it a SHOT . And the chorus is a little " Integrity its within you, its not hard to , make everyone happy. Integrity its within you, you can try to, make everyone happy " Fuz and HC sang during the first while RL played the guitar and I was on the keyboard (duh) .
for the second, Fuz played the CaJon and she added a rap. Which she missed it and we all had to end halfway due to the awkwardness. We were embarrassed yo. But it was ok :)
The food there was reaaaly nice we even had a meal of a personal pizza and garlic bread and they even provided us with teabreaks with way to much snacks of the same kind.

Oh and during the first day, we had the icebreaking session and I got forfeited. OK I WAS SO DUMB THEN HAHAH. and it was something like - everyone says something and you need to do it kind of one round - So damn funny hahaha I had fun.
In all, I really had fun with my mentors and yeah we had quite a few rounds of FunRun with them and HC. Fuz and RL, dont play funrun :(

Alright enough with camwhoring. eheheh.


The music fiesta burt out the whole of 3rd week and I was left 1 week to complete my Assignments. It wasnt easy and not 100000% completed but I guess it was still reasonable?
Went over to Fuz's on a Thursday for homework and discussion of band and yeah. It's a condo and we kinda relaxed by the pool for a while after we were done.

I realised, I really love relaxing haahah I mean, who doesn't?
So I guess I'll end of my holiday post here with my fav picture :)

(ps I might have missed out some stuff and they aren't exactly as important.)
Bye For Now!
