Love to Procrastinate

tkband, gold with honours^^

i have mainly two things to blog about. shall talk about the more important one first which is the april band competition which took place today(technically, it took place yesterday cause it's already past 12am but who cares=p). there was a new event at this year's competition. some sort of audition for bands who want to take part in the outdoor competition. quite interesting actually. especially the hwa chong band (don't argue with me!!! chinese high band and hua chong band is one and the same!!!) taken by our ex-conductor mr. siao. they were real good considering it was their first time taking part in outdoor. then came the actual part of the competition. tkband was the first to perform. it was good but just not good enough, it sort of lacked that "magic" that we always pride ourselves for. there were a total of 8 bands taking part this year, quite alot actually. there was this band which was really cute. think it's jurong west band. the whole band wore cowboy costumes. really really entertaining. then there was yusof ishak band. they were okay, but it was really sad that they got bronze even though they have participated for quite some years already. when we were leaving the stadium, saw some yusof ishak people crying.
but guess the most fun part today was that i got to meet so many people that i have lost touch with for the past 1 year or so. really miss my section(especially ah nor) and those people from the '04 batch. took alot of pictures. went to parkway to have dinner with my section after the competition. why is it that our section always always end up at the food court??? so pathetic-_-" we wanted to go to fish & co. at first but the place was full all thanks to the flute section=p we then went to try our luck at swensens but then saw the trombone section waiting outside swensens for a sit. in the end, they decided that we should just go up to the food court. sadded. but it wasn't so bad. got to eat with my section^^
after that, i went to find fx at bb. they were closing up when i reached the place so i went in to slack abit. there was amy, weili and joa around at that time too. they ended up bringing out ice-cream, etc. to stuff themselves silly. haha, it was really fun and i really enjoyed it. miss those guys back at bb. really had lots of fun today. fx then sent me home on a cab^^

okay, time to talk about the second not so important thing. was on the bus back to tk from the stadium when ah nor ask me whether i read the newpaper. she was saying that sometime last week, she was on the mrt towards boon lay when the mrt stopped at tanah merah for a very long time. she was asking me whether i knew about this incident. wahaha. very coincidentally, i was with fx on the train at the other side at that time. it was really stupid as the train stopped for a very long time and they did not open the doors for us. they even turned off the air-con and causing it to be real stuffy. turned out that some indian nationale lost his job or something and was on the way to changi airport to get back to india when he decided that he should commit suicide. so he jumped onto the railway track. halfway through, he regreted his actions but the train i was on was already approaching. so he laid flat in the tracks and miraculously, he survived. so there was a delay and all. most interesting part was that eleanor and i were both there when it happen although we were on different trains.
