I'm back after a totally uneventful week. I'm slacking off school work because it got too damn boring. Top on the list of subjects is Thermodynamics. I do not comprehend at all. Argh. And I simply don't feel like being near it. But I guess second year subjects were much better than first. Material Structure and Mechanical Behaviour, Applied Chemistry, Characterization of Materials are interesting. Plus, this year the Maths lecturer is really good. First year sucks. Bleh....
Went for the Jazz and Blues first practice. I wonder why we are always the "problem children".. I mean me.. "problem kid". Apparently me and Winnie missed the audition day and Saturday was the first day we are there. Firstly, I felt so out. Coz I didn't belong to any section. They didn't have a clarinet for me and they wanted me to play the sax. Bleh. I didn't want to. Then I wanted to see if they have any more space in the vocals team. The person-in-charge Rudy promised to audition me. But I waited and waited (coz he seemed really busy). Partly my own fault lah.. I didn't tell them properly that I want to try the vocals thingy before I came down. So I approached the lady who seemed like the in-charge of the vocals team. I told her I wanted to audition for vocal .. then her face simply twisted like a piece of crumpled paper. Stressed out. Hur. Hur. I gave her the nickname Queen Bee 'cause she seemed like it. The type you got to suck up to her, and not challenge her in anyway.. and at all times, let her be the only one in-charge. keke.
So I sort of waited and waited again.. for the busy man Rudy to give Queen Bee some sort of decision where I should go. (Bleeddy just gimme an audition then decide from there!) Finally the vocals team decide to move to another room.. I was asked to follow. I guess I am to be auditioned finally. Adrenaline rush. I didn't prepare any song cause I didn't know. Me stoopid. who goes to an audition without a song?? Less to say prepare a jazz song. Argh.. I can't sing anything. Except the song Amazing Grace kept cramming up my brain space I can't think of any other songs! So I sang the song. The keyboardist who played as I was singing was so "qiang".. I was wow-ed away. Hmm.. then I was asked to try to sing a jazz song. Die die also must sing. keke. So I tried lah. But it sucked. Queen Bee says she has to go discuss with busy man Rudy and she will get back to me whether I can stay in the vocal team.
Waited and waited. Damn. My impatience whispered to me to not join the Jazz and Blues. But I shut it up. I didn't want to wake up early and sing to someone for nothing. Its a challenge really to open my mouth to sing to someone. Some of you should know this very well. keke. And I didn't want to join the vocals team to perform. I only want to learn to sing properly 'cause I overheard Queen Bee saying that there's going to be this singing coach from Hollywood coming down to coach the vocals team. Wow~
Queen Bee came back with busyman Rudy after a long while. This time the AVA team ( I dunno what they are supposed to be called now.. but they were know to me as the AVA people in my sec sch days) was packing up and making a lot of noise moving their barang barang into the same room we were in then. Rudy asked me to sing for him. Damn I sang for nothing to Queen Bee. Now I got to sing again. ( But I think second time I sound better 'cause I sort of warmed up after the first time. )Had to fight with the noise the AVA team was making. But thankfully and unfortunately they stopped and listen as I sang. Nerve-wrecking.
I was able to stay with the vocals team at the end. It was all worth it... and I thank God for it. Keke. I am happy just to be with the team. Phew. But there was a Native American lady in the team. Her name is Bulelua and I think she has style. Cool.. interesting people. Keke. Hope I get to learn stuffs man..
I guess that was the most eventful day of the entire week. And it lasted only roughly two hours. The rest of my week passed in a blur.. watching Southpark.. trying to "re-cock-ca-nize" my lecture notes.. and hopefully attempt some tutorial questions. keke. But it isn't a very hopeful situation. I'm in this drowsy mode.. think its because of the weather. Oh.. Friday was Union Day. Great! Slack day. Me and Winnie and Jacelyn planned to go to Somerset to trim our brows. Too bad Jacelyn couldn't make it cause she has earlier engagements with her mom to go do dunno wat. A big group of us (Me Winnie Jun qin Jean Big Willy Feng Cheng Jia quan.. Say wee and Shiming joined later) went to Sakae at Heeren. It was crazy. We took down a total of 60 over plates of food. Shall show you guys the picture later. And something strange happened.. 8 people went in and we only paid for 6. Keke. I can't believe I actually mastermind-ed this. *slaps self*
Okay I guess that sums up the most part of my week. I still got so much to do! Stressed sia... phew.. God Bless all.... =)
