acbands

talking to samuel ho (i would have just said sam or sam ho or samuel, but i know too many sams and samuels, and there's another sam ho who happens to be in acband as well, so just to avoid confusion, at least the chinese name didn't pop up haha) just now made me look back in my archives for the entry i wrote on 050505. looking back, it probably reflected my state of mind then, since i doubt i would have written such bad engrish ('i should have just pretend i have been kidnapped and avoid the bloody piano lesson ') that can compete with mingxuan's bad grammar (haha sorry mingx) and i would have probably made a better joke out of doctor lee's ever famous bradddy hell. but i think it's a pretty accurate reflection of how i felt on 050505. it was one of those bad days that go on in memory. and i realise too that after that entry, towards december and on after that, a lot of my entries revolve around band life and the after band life, more commonly known as alumni band. i realise that a lot of schedule revolves around band events, apart from the 200 schedule, of course. it's like everytime i think of saturday events, the first thing that comes to mind is band pract, even now. band leaves a lot on you. an impressionable cca, not only with the number of hours you spend on it. it's the whole package that comes together that makes the time spent thoroughly worthwhile.

i wonder what's life going to be like in school without band (i highly believe that band in smooland is a no-no, particularly when i found out who the conductor was). i just hope alumni doesn't stop too soon. maybe i'll go back and crash acband once in a while haha.

something makes me want to attempt to take leave on 110507 and just be a bandit all over again for that whole day. but it's not in the work ethics, so i guess rushing down for the tv screen is good enough. i hope i get there in time tho. i just don't want to regret anything this time, not the way i did in 050505.

well, i guess that's why i've been going down for their soundchecks and spending more time with the other older bandits haha. today's lunch was really fun, with gush guosh, candy the CoW, it's-all-your-fault shuj, plus qins and zel, my own batchmates. i hope i can keep this up after syf's over. i think lt4 and the qm room became my second homes over the few years. ac life does that to you. i hope the tradition goes on the same way.

gush, 10 days to syf. it's almost as though i'm back, 2 years ago. somehow i wish i was back in those stressful syf years. it was fun. it was music. heart of band, as markky puts it.

speaking of lunch today, i suddenly realise why i felt sort of feverish today after lunch. it's because of candy's brownies with extra kahlua. no wonder, just got reminded of it when i read shuj's blog. random fact, but anyway. must be the cough medicine (yes stubborn me finally got expensive professional medical help for the bad health) ruining my brain, more probably it's all the flu panadols, which supposedly retard your brain, that i've been taking prior to my visit to the docs. but i'm loads better, except for the fact that shuj commented how sexy my voice was today, and how my kids might be a bit shocked that ms tang sounds like a man now haha.

alright, the drowsiness is kicking in, i'm off to bed. and it's early wow.

happy labour day everyone, hope you had fun labouring. i know i did.

and no, the title is not another bad grammar (something that i took away from acband as well, putting and s behind all that you speaks). it's just that it's acjc and acsib, therefore acbands. yes (:
