What a day at school.I had a bad headache because I stayed up late last night doing the English project.I was very tired and decided not to go for band today.I was having a hard time concentrating in class because of the headache.I was busy rubbing my head.Luckily today was very slack.I was talking to Hafiz about Ali G.He told me that he watched the whole movie. I got a brief summary of what the movie was like. The last time I watched it was around three years ago. I totally forgot about the movie.

It was the usual thing in the morning.Wake up, shower, change clothes, pray and go to school. My stomach was grumbling because I had no money to buy breakfast but at least I drank water from the water cooler. I just remembered that I had to fall-in at the band room. I did the usual thing, pratcise playing my trumpet. I felt breathless and about to faint when I was playing the trumpet. I was very tired that I stopped playing. It was already time to fall-in and tune the instruments. I just sat next my bandmates who were not performing for morning assembly.

After,going back to class, I was still having bad headaches. I had endure the English and Literature lessons. I was not very attentive. I am sure the whole class is not paying attention. After the two lessons,it was recess. Luckily I did not spend money for breakfast. I had enough money to buy noodles.

After school, I went to the mosque for Friday prayers. I came back and went straight to the library to write this post. Thanks again for reading this post and please comment

School Holiday on Wednesday

Hooray!I was very happy when I saw my brothers preparing for school early in the morning.In my heart,I was laughing out loud.It was a school holiday for Victoria School and my science project group members have decided to meet up and complete our chemistry project.We did not want to waste our time doing nothing.Instead,we decided to spend our time wisely and complete our science project.My group members consisted of Hafiz,Haziq, Aqashah and Chanuja. Unfortunately, Aqashah could not make it,he was busy at the moment. I left my house at 1.30p.m

Me, Hafiz and Chanuja met up at Burger King Parkway Parade.Unfortunately, I was one hour early and did not do anything except read books at Borders. I came across many humour-related books but most of them were sex jokes and I was not interested. I only read some of the jokes. They were quite funny. It was there where I met Hamzah,my friend. He browsing through books at the thrillers section. I informed him about the Malay project and then I went to Burger King,the place where my project group is suppose to meet at.

We met together at around 3.15p.m. We bought our respective meals. I bought a double turkey bacon and changed the fries to onion rings. The food was nice and we finished by 3.40p.m. Actually, we planned on going to Borders at first but there was not enough time. We went to the bus-stop and waited for either bus number 15 or 966. Bus number 966 arrived in two minutes.

When we reached the bus-stop near to Haziq's house, we could see Haziq riding on his bicycle towards our diretion. He then guided us to his house. His house was very big. We settled down for a while and got started on our project. We were brainstorming themes to put into our project. Then,we decided to use the theme of humour. What a coincidence!I was reading books about it at Borders. We decided to put funny pictures, all from Borat. It was very funny.

After completing the project,Hafiz decided to watch Ali G on youtube. It was hilarious but managed to complete thirty minutes of it. I did not plan on watching it fully. I had a fun time at Haziq's house.

Now,I have to end here and thank you for reading this post. Please continue reading my blog, every week I will update my blog. Thank you for reading.

A typical day at the beach

It was a Monday morning and I woke up at 7a.m because my parents planned on taking me and my sisters to the beach.I was very reluctant at first but quickly changed my mind because my wanted to refrain me from playing Dota on the computer.Besides,my elder brother and younger brothers have gone out with their friends.I was very bored also.I agreed to follow my parents and sisters to the beach.

I did not wear my swimming trunks because I was not planning on swimming at the beach.I just wanted to relax play with the sand.I followed my sisters to the place where my father's car was at.I entered the car and we went to East Coast Park.I was about to snooze because it was so boring in the car but we already reached our destination.I pushed my baby sister on the pram as we made our way to the park.It was around 3p.m.

I decide to stay at one spot with my sisters while parents went on a walk with my baby sister.After a few minutes,which seemed like a few hours,I longed for my parents to come back and we could go home because I was really bored.I watched my sisters making sandcastles and digging holes.After an hour,my sister made a "waterfall" at small stream near the shoreline.I got quite fascinated and made the waterfall bigger.I was very happy with my work.After a few minutes admiring my work,my parents arrived.I wished that I could spend a longer time so that I could complete my work.

To my excitement,my parents bought a Big Gulp.I was very happy because I was also thirsty at the moment.I shared the drink with my sisters as we walked back to the car.I was very tired after the day at the beach.To my surprise,it was already 6p.m.I could not believe that we spent almost three hours at the beach.I was so sleepy that I finally slept in the car

That was my day at East Coast Park.I will get to experience it every week because my family usually go to the beach on Sunday.Thats all and thank you for reading my blog.

mIbrosia concert on 10 January 2009

Last Saturday was the day of the mbrosia concert(as shown above) held at the Singapore Conference Hall.Victoria School Concert Band was invited as a guest band for the concert. This was the last public performance before SYF2009 which was going to be held during April 2009. For all the band practices i have been to (since 3 January 2009),I knew that they were putting in a lot of effort in perfecting the two pieces they were going to perform on the night of the concert.I was very confident that they were going to outperform the rest of the 4 bands-Manjusri Concert Band, Chai Chee Military Band and Gan Eng Seng Military Band.

On the morning of the concert, I woke up at 6.30 a.m because the band needed to fall-in at 9.30a.m. I wanted to reach school early so that I could have some time to practice playing my trumpet because I started playing the trumpet only this year. I was a so-called noobie because I started 1 year later than my other Sec 2 batchmates.How embarrasing!I reached school 1 hour before fall-in time. I spend it practicing blowing the first 3 notes on the trumpet. I had a little bit of difficulty because my mouth placement was wrong.Anyway,back to the topic.The band practiced their pieces while I practiced in the storeroom.From the way they were playing,I knew that they were going to do well for the concert.I was very confident.

We left for the concert venue which is at the Singapore concert hall at 1p.m.I was informed to sit in the woodwinds bus.On the way to the venue,I did nothing but outside the window because i was too shy to talk to my batchmates.I regretted joining band late but I knew I made th right decision for myself.We reached the venue at about 2p.m.

The Singapore Concert Hall was very big.It was the place where the Singapore Chinese Orchestra played.I was very amazed because it was my first time going there.We went straight to the concert hall to settle down and practiced our pieces and watch the other participating schools play.

After the rehearsal, the bands were informed to go to their respective room to place their instruments,change into the band uniform and eat.I helped my batchmates who needed help with carrying their instruments.I was like the helper.I hoped that I would play my instrument better and the next time there was a concert,I will be the one playing and not helping.

After preparing and waiting for the other schools to finish their pieces,it was time for VSCB to perform.I was very anxious but I wasn't even playing.I sat in the the room waiting for the perforance to end.I saw other schools in a happy mood.They took pictures with their batchmates
and laughed.I could here the pieces which VSCB was playing very softly.I did not know whether they were doing well or not.After about 20 minutes,they arrived.Their facial expressions were not very happy.I could here murmurings that they did not do well.I did not want to know the reason why because I did not want to blame anyone or any section.

We went back to school at about 11p.m.In the bus,the band was very cheery and did not show signs of unhappy thoughts about the concert.I managed start a conversation with Daryl Nigel,my classmate.We talked until we reached school.There was a short briefing and we weredismissed.I was very relieved because bus 55 arrived.I thought it was very late and the bus stopped coming.

I went home and thought about writing this because it was an English project about blogging and that is the reason why I wrote this.I hope(you readers)liked it and please comment.
