About me?? Nothing really to say. I am just 16 years old. But actually should be 15 because not yet reach my birthday yet for this year haha. I studied at SMK St. Xavier which the last Brother, who is Brother Paul Ho, has left and there won't be anymore Brothers to be the principle of this school. We are still waiting for the new principle to come to our school. Ok, nothing much. I also love bboying. Sometimes i streetdance also. But i am still thinking whether I wanted to continue or nt because I suck at it and I still love dancing. I also like bowling. I am quite good at it but still can't defeat my friends yet xD. Until now, my highest score i ever get is onli 158 points. That was when i just got my PMR results and i am not statisfied with my results. That's how i get 158 points lol. I will keep on training my bowling skills. Just have to find more time only. I, u can say that, not good with my studies at school. PMR I only gt 2As T.T. The As is English and Maths. I am good at English during exam but as you can see I am not good at english when I chat to people at msn or during conversation.
My favourite hang out spot is at MCD beside my apartment because it is very near to my house. Just around 10 min walk to reach there. I also like many action movies.
One more thing, sometimes i can be a very shy guy. I can't really talk to people I don't know whenever it is. Especially girls (gulp). I only can either sms send instant messages or email girls only. When it comes to talking, no sound will come out from my mouth. Even hand shakes also will make me trembling. lol. I think i am just too nervous of meeting new people. -.-" Have to change.
Sometimes i really like to help people. I like to see people with a happy smile on them. No matter they are someone i know or don't. Whenever i see people feeling sad or angry, I will feel sad too. Sometimes i will try to make jokes to cheer them up but it dun work everytime. Eventhough i tried to help people, but sometimes i felt like i just giving them more burden. I don't really know that i really did help them out or not.
My life in the band
Many years ago, SXIMB was once a famous marching band in Penang. I joined this band on 2006 that was when I am at Form 1. My experience in the band has increase as 4 years has pass. But still, i can't say that I am very good at band yet. There is still a long way to go for me. But some how, I dunno why. Some people in the band likes to show off their skills even they are only the same age as me. They are not adult yet, why they like to do like that? There are still so many questions in my mind about people in life. I am not pinpoint at anyone so don't be so perasan.
One of the most important day for my band that have recently happen was the band concert which was a tribute to our school principle, Brother Paul Ho, who was leaving the school on that day. It was on the 19th of June 2009. Two weeks before that particular day, we have already practice very hard for the whole two weeks. During these practice, i can feel that the band has start growing stronger every time we practice. Our band director, Mr Khor, also invited another band director from other school to teach us some movement. Many things has happen on these two weeks. I even being asked by my band leader to join the angklung. Maybe it is becos they dun have enough people i think. I have been assigned to play together with them during a song named Can-Can. I like to hear the sound of the song during practice. The angklung is all about teamwork. If there is missing someone who will play that particular note, the whole song will go wrong. Although there is a bit of difficulties, but we manage we got through it.
17th of June 2009
During the week before the concert, i didnt really study properly in class. Mostly i was out of the class. I was practicing the angklung becos there is some part that my band friends didnt really know how to play yet. As time flies, the day of our concert has come nearer. My nervous level nearly reach to the max. I also been polishing my instrument. The Big and Mighty Tuba!!! lol. Quite hard to polish it because it is so big. I brought about 10 packets of tissue to share together with my section also not enough to use. After the polishing section done, I was given orders by my section leader to tell my members to put in the scores that we are going to play during the night after the concert. But since i see that only three members left, so i have no choice but to continue the job. I am just pity of one of the member, WS, he alone doing nearly all the arrangements for all the trombone files. One of his friend, R, who is also from trombone section help him a little.
I asked him a few times to check whether he can finish it or nt and he said he was fine. So, I helped him. After a while, I have to get back to arrange my own score. When his father come to fetch him, he told me that he's going to take the score back to finish arranging it. It is because we hav to finish arranging it by the next day. I just worried when i thought that i couldnt finish arranging it. I am worried about me getting scold. I worried that the whole section getting scold.I finish my own score before 5 pm. And one of my stupid member, C, was playing football with other member while i do the job. KNS!!!
18th of June 2009
Today was the rehearsal day. In the morning i ask WS about the files whether he finished it or not. He manage to finish it. I felt relieved. After that, we have to go for rehearsal at Dewan Sri Pinang. Damn, the journey is so far. It's like journey to the west. I and my section leader who both also using tube have to carry our tuba all the way to Dewan Sri Pinang from our school. After around 15 minutes of hell travelling, we manage to reach DSP. It's like an touhg adventure for us. But i think we are quite "biasa" already because we walked like this a few times last time. Then, we spend our time rehearsal at DSP until about 1.10pm before we go back to school. Another journey through hell. lol. After we come back we still have to teach the form 1 like the usual practice.
One thing i don't like about today is that after the practice, i still have to go to tuition eventhough i juz got back from "hell". haha
19th June 2009
That was the very day of our band concert. Before that, we will have a retiring ceremony during the assembly. During that ceremony, many VIPs came. Even Brothers from all across the country came to see. There are aproximately two or more reporters come to take video of the whole ceremony. As we are juz arrived at the assembly, the reporters come to take pictures of the whole band. The assembly go on like normal except that it had some special event happen there like speeches and more.
After the assembly was finish, we were suppose to go back to class but we the band members has many things to do because later the night will be our show. Like my section leader,A said "The whole world is watching you all" because many reporters will come on that night. So, we have be fully prepared. We were all busy until after school. We got a rest until 3.00pm. Ok let's skip the whole preparation thing. Now we start from the meaningful and most unforgetable night.
We were getting ready at DSP at around 6.00pm. As we are getting changed, the most celaka thing happen on me!!! My tie clip lost!! I dunno where it lost but mostly it is when we are on the way to DSP. Luckily, one of my junior, Q have an extra tie clip. Oh great, it was a relieve. Then i thanks him. Then i prepared myself for the concert. At around 7.30pm everyone has seat on their own placing and the curtain is closed. After Brother Paul has cut the ribbon, the curtain has open and there we are. Sitting on the stage looking all smart. And in my mind, I know that this is the best concert we ever had.
Throughout the concert I got a great feeling that this concert was a success. Here's a few picture about it.
