HI!! haha... jus came back from beijing on the 24th... on that day i can miss school... haha... so happy... then to day is the second day of school for me... quite fun cus i meet 2 new teachers that is teaching me... back to the sub... i went to beijing for a band festival... when we first touched down... we checked in to the hotel and bla bla bla... all the usal stuff... but after that we went for instrumental master class... i hated it so much... firstly it was boring... secondly i had to side read the whole score... then thirdly i got embarassed... i got embarassed cus when it was our turn to play... we played as normal... then we couldnt play as we had no warm up and we dun even kno the piece... so the person tested us one by one... then after the 3rd trombone he came to me... and asked me to play... after that... he asked me to stop and jus took away my trombone... so rude man... i was so embarassed!! after he took my trombone... he said "learn how to play then come and play" in an irritating chinese axient... ah!! then we went for the opening ceremony and watched the bands perform... i liked the police one... the played the song in swing girls!! so cool!!
On the second day... we went to Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square... i espacially like Tiananmen Square cus it has the face of Moa there... its so cool....=) after the sight seeing... and a really long and tiring walk... we had lunch and after that we went to a school for music exchange... the band there was pretty good... we also had music exchange there... both programes were good...=) then after that we went to have dinner then went back hotel... that day was pretty fast...
On the third day... we went to The Great Wall Of China... to me it isnt that great... but... yeah...in the afternoon... we went for another music exchange but this time all the singapore schools were there... that day was fun cus when we played the song "Sock Hop Tonoght" ppl were screaming for us... cus we had gimix... haha... so fun... after that we went back to the hotel...
On the 4th day... we had prac at the nearby hotel... cus our hotel had no balroom... then during the night... we went to perform... it was awesome cus we played the same song and ppl still scream... we were great... thats wat the head of cca said... haha... then after we performed... the hotel called and said that the air-condition broke down in the hotel... so we had to go to another hotel... but luckily... it was a 5 stars one... it was so good... haha...=)
The next day... we had breakfast at the hotel then we had R&R... then we had to go for the adjudication... the rules : each band is judged... the band either gets gold silver or bronze according to the points... so there isnt 1st 2nd 3rd... so we played... we werent as good as the day b4... but the first words that came out of the judges mouth was congrats... so i expected a gold... but we got a silver... so i was quite sad... but the others were happy... but we missed gold by 0.2... so it was quite a miss... haiz... hahas...
The next day we went shopping... nothing much to buy... then we went to airport and the next thing i kno... i am back in singapore... hahas... thats all... for the whole trip i missed alot of ppl... i missed... Mum, Dad, Wayne, Shaun, Daniel, Gabriel, Joel, Clarice etc....
