The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
Sometimes the dark is not worth risking.

THANKS for the encouraging words! we set our instrus and went to the canteen to eat for sandwich and drink vitasoy. then we warmuped returned to the band rm at 7.15am. ms chan said dat she wun be telling us anything more nor scold us le. then aft 1hr of tuning and going thru the pieces, we got rdy to go SCH. of coz we were lyk so nervous. when we reached dere, we had to wit for our turn. while waiting, we could here the 2nd band before us playing over the pa system. they sounded very nice and we were lyk quite intimidated. we had to constantly blow air into our instrus to keep it warm. soon the nxt band would be us le. furthermore i was the first person to step into the hall. then we could see the previous band(fuhua) play on the tv screen. they played quite well too. then when they played finish, it was finally our turn. then we went on stage very smartly and sat. ms chan kept smiling at us larhhs. was abit stunned hahas. the first note of sunrise was played and it went well. yarhhs but i do agree alot of parts of the song trumpets didnt pitch dat well larhhs, including 15 to 16 i totally cant come out. damn it. but i totally played loud on 16 coz its the trumpets melody marhhs. okaes so it ended quite okae. then the first note of stabat. i was totally nervous dat i grasp onto my trumpet very tightly. during the slow part, i was very touched larhhs and i can feel the surging emotions. wahhs so dats wad music can do to you. okaes and i totally mispitched the ending note. then i was so sad dat i kept condemning myself and wanted to cry larhhs. but luckily aft i asked xq(who is sitting beside me), he didnt hear anything. okaes luckily i played rather soft so not so obvious phew. okaes aft finishing, you can totally understand wad it means by "tai shang yi fen zhong, tai xia shi nian gong"(meaning a one minute performance nids ten years of practice). although quite exaggerating larhhs but it totally described our feelings aptly. then alot of snrs came to support us and ponned their lectures. thanks jiawei, siobhan and all other band snrs for your support! i didnt rly haf much feelings aft the whole period. maeb my mind cant absorb so much our one instance. lyk a few hrs before we were still encouraging each other and another moment its all over. went back to rv and had a break til 12.30pm. we cheered and screamed as all our hard work we gave in for tis day is over. so obviously we decided to lag til 12.45pm before going back to cls. then daniel started scaring us and said dat 3a was lyk having some math test so xq, zhiyi and me didnt want to go in. then mr choy saw us so we had to go in. lols thanks 3a for cheering when we stepped in cls! and we found out it was lyk normal qns he wanted us to do within time period only luhh. i was super tired and was about to slp but we had to leave agn to go general office to get the results. when we reached dere, many other band members were alr dere. when they said we had GOLD, some ppl cheered some ppl cried. coz as ms chan said wil our standard we usually play in band, we would get silver only and to get even a gold we haf to pray hard. but yarhhs we got it. we were the only gold band in the morning interval and amksec got gwh. yarhhs they were confident and they did it. we were the 83rd sch performing and up til then, dere were only 2 gwh(st pat & amkss) and 10 gold. so we were one of the golds. and 5 gwh bands deproved to silver so we should count our blessings. in previous syf, dere were lyk 20+gwh bands lorhhs. tis shows how strict the panel of judges were. ms ek, mr chua and mr choy were dere too. then ms ek was lyk telling the trumpets dat we got very good le why so moody. then i said dat although the band members might noe dat the judges were very strict tis yr dats whyy we cannot maintain our gwh, the other ppl will tink dat we not very good wad. then ms ek was lyk which other ppl? then i replied then non-band ppl lorhhs. but she said her friends oso noe the judges for band very strict tis yr wad so others will oso understand. haish then hope so barhhs. then mrs chak had to debrief us and she said dat she's very proud of us and dat we haf not let anybody down. gold is very good and we accomplished our aim of playing wif no regrets. coz ms chan said dat our sunrise was beautiful and stabat made her hair stand. yarhhs my hair oso stood because of stabat too. so she said she will announce the good news to the sch and dat we must cheer very loudly. but when she announce and the band cheered, i just cant help but cry. esp when we put in so much. though it is a big accomplishment to get a gold, and futhermore we didnt aim for a gwh, but for a gold, i still cant sae dat im not disappointed at all. in my mind i had hoped for a miracle for band to get gwh but we didnt. i noe gold is gold but ppl would still place their hopes on higher goals marhhs. and i oso cant proudly sae i've done the snrs proud. though i've put in almost my best, of coz we could be able to do better. maeb if we did, we would get gwh. maeb. haish then we haf cake to eat. on it written, "one heart, one soul, one band. syf 2007". yarhhs the teacher's actions are very heartwarming. and when the band cheered agn, i cried agn. i was sincerely touched by band. rv band. my band. cheers make me cry. obviously majority cried too.  i went to talk to shixian, then someone who was oso dere told me, " why you didnt pitch properly?" gosh i was lyk so pissed when i heard tis and i went to tell the trumpets. in the end she had a scolding frm her sl and she claimed someone started talking about it first. bullshyt. then can she safely sae she played prefectly? wtf. and because of tis my snr was lyk so hurt and cried coz she tot it was her fault. nobody is to be blamed larhhs, furthermore we got wad we aimed for lorhhs. dun you lyk feel guilty? had cake and pringles then we slacked around. we were supposed to attend lessons aft dat but nobody had the mood to. some didnt go remedial too. we slacked frm 2pm all the way to 3.40pm. lols hope llm doesnt lyk condemn us for ponning her physics. took some random pictures too. lyk me and rachael 'les'ing. me and mich wif a tie etc.    trumpets went je to talk aft dat. other sections including clarinets, saxos, percuz, trombones and flutes oso went dere to eat. then we talked bout band life and other random stuffs in mac. aft dat we went to the neoprint shop to cheapskate. we had no money so we just used my phone and took photos instead hahas. stayed dere til 7pm.    trumpets and percuzz((:  mirror reflection.  tml the trumpets sec4s will be treating us to pizza hut aft sch. woots! a tiring day. gosh i feel dat a lifetym had passed in one day. and i dun intend to do the physics ivle. stressed, headache.
