My Name is Yi Mei
Not that you guys don't know or anything, but my name is really Yi Mei. As in, it's still pronounced the same and all but that's how you spell it. I know you guys know how to spell it but it's Yi Mei, not Yimei. Yea. That's the point I'm trying to get through you guys and all. You may think I'm making a big fuss out of it but Yimei isn't my name. It's Yi Mei. I mean, how would you like someone to get your name wrong? Not that it's wrong or anything. But it's like.. wrong. Yea. I don't know how to say la!! Haha.. Just remember it's Yi Mei. Yea. Thanks.
Today's Band. Hmmm.. I don't know what to say about it. Did you know?! I had to share a trombone with Selvam. So pathetic right? Haha.. It felt
sooooooooo Sec 1 lo. Haha.. Yea. We need to either repair that stupid trombone or get one. Quick. Other then that, music-wise, I have nothing to say. Oh oh oh!! Whoot! I am
soooooooo happy. The trombones can finally do the glissando part properly! Whoot! Ok, so we could do it during sectionals, not sure if we can do it still in the band room. But hope we can. Because it sounded really nice and all! Really. It did. So exciting. Can't wait to do it again nicely! Haha.. Remember you guys to not blast ok? And it's a
cres. Yep yep.
Ok. I'm suppose to talk to the girls about this but I really
really don't know how to phrase it. And I really don't know how to tell it to your faces. So I'll just do it here and hope you'll come read it. If not, I hope your SLs will read it and tell you or something. Yea. Here goes my attempt to tell you girls of.
Girls in the Band: First of all, let me tell you that I'm in charged of your discipline. Truthfully, I'm not exactly the most disciplined person in the world. So, I'm trying my best to be ok? Second, I know I'm not great, may not really possess the qualities I'm about the scold you about, but I'm trying too. Thirdly, you may think that you do not need to listen to me, and that I don't deserve your respect and "what right does this bitch have to reprimand me?", but I really have to do it. Yea.
Professionalism. As Mr Glosz and Nelson have already told you guys, performances aren't about fun and laughter and all. They're about playing well, doing your best and to present at least pleasant sounding music. Ask yourselves. Was that present during our Sentosa performance? You need to be more focused, we need to have a higher level of concerntration. If we can do that, how are we going to play? Stop giggling, stop fooling around, stop gossiping. Focus on the conductor and the performance you're about to have. Things don't just go *POOF* and magically, we can play you know. Things have to be done. I'm not saying you can't have your fun and laughter. Sure. You're more than permitted to do. Just do it
AFTER band practices, band performances. Once you pick up your instrument you need to be more serious. Put your heart into it and ignore all distractions. That way, you would have done what has been required of you.
Preparation. As you know, preparation plays a big part in giving a performance and even for nomal practices. You can't expect to play perfect notes if you're not going to prepare for it. No, you're not. 15 days ok? 15 days is all we have left. And this applies to guys, girls, gays, lesbians, whatevers of the band. 15 days. We have 15 days to perform a few miracles. Can you guys please come back for more self practice or something? If you're too lazy to come, bring your instruments home. Or your mouthpiece to buzz. There are many things you can do you know, to get yourself prepared. Just think smart and think of something. And help us solve some of the problems for the upcoming performance. If you guys are going to carry on thinking that just coming for normal band practices is going to get you a gold next year in the SYF, you are
soooo doomed. We need more dedication here people!!
Relying on your seniors. I know many of you have that attitude. "Oh. My senior can play what. So why bother working so hard if they can cover our sound?" It is so wrong lo. What are you going to do when your seniors graduate? Think la. Think about the future or something. One days you people are going to be the seniors you know. What examples are you going to set, if you don't even know you own work? Who are the juniors going to learn from? Please. Please start being independant and start doing stuff and your own. Learn you notes, if you have difficulty, ask for help. Don't just keep quiet and wait for your seniors to cover you. Independance goes a long way. And it helps us all you know. Of course you people are still a section and must learn to work together too. But it starts off with you learning to be independant and to rely on yourselves. Because you never know when someone is going to let you down and when you're going to need to do something alone. And when that time comes, what will you do?
Being discouraged. I know some of you guys are being very very discouraged. You think you're very lousy, that the others are better than you and that is totally unfair. When you think that it's unfair that others are better than you right, I want you to think again. Think. Did you put in the effort? Did you come back for self-practice? Are you practicing the correct things? Maybe it's not you, it's just the wrong things your learning. So, I advice you to go ask your SLs or something and correct it asap. As for when you think you're lousy. Why don't turn that into the positive light and let that be your motivation? Why don't you try to work harder in order to be a better player. You know what? I used to be lousy too. And I really hated the fact the Nelson could play for SYF when he was the same age as me and I couldn't. But then, it was my fault. I never practiced. I didn't care enough to even come back for normal band practices. I was totally freaking lousy. You see, you have to start of somewhere you know. You can't possibly start off and expect to play like your seniors already. Unless you're like, some genius or something. But anyway, the point is that, you have to work hard to achieve something. Don't blame others if you can't do it. It's just plain stupidity. Blame yourself. And then find a way to improve yourself and learn from your mistake. I'm not saying I'm a wonderful trombone player or anything. But I've improved because I've worked for it. You guys have to do it too. Never be discouraged if you're lousy. Everyone has to start off somewhere. Just take one small step at a time and soon enough, you'll get there. No worries about that.
In short, the girls must stop being
such girls. As in like, girly girls. And everyone else, must start being more independant, more focused, more motivated and more prepared. If everyone works hard enough, we will know that we did our best and no matter the results, you'll find that sense of satisfaction in yourself. I know you guys can do it. So try your best!!!
Enough said for today. Ciao.

Ok. I can't think of a title for today. Yep. I think I'll stop it with this titles thing because it's really stupid sitting in front of the computer for like so long just to think about the stupid title. Yea. Maybe when I feel like inserting a title, I will. Yea. When I feel like it.
I'm desperate for Salt and Vinegar Lays. Like totally desperate. I'm being deprived here ok? I'd this craving since like 8 o'clock or something. My sister, who's in town, is suppose to buy me my junk but I highly doubt she'll be home anytime soon to give me my junk. So I think I'll die. Yea. Absolutely. Can't live without my junk. Argh. I NEED LAYS!! Dammit.
I also need a life. Not that I'm not having fun or anything. But really, soon enough we'll complete all the stages there are, and we'll be left with nothing to do. Ok. So we
will have something. But still. In the meantime, I need other forms of entertainment other than the Playstation. I want to watch The Incredibles but I don't think we'll be getting down to that anytime soon. Maybe in it's last week of release or something. Yea. Darn. I think i haven't watched a movie since forever. Er. When did I watch The Forgotten? Hmm.. But I still need to watch a movie. Like in the near future or something.
You know the problem with this template? The font size of each entry is so small that even though I posted quite alot, I look like I barely posted 10 lines. I know. I should just go change the font size and all right? Or change it from Normal Size font to large or something. But I can't really be bothered. So why am I blogging about it? Hmm.. Ok. I think I'm just bored. Yea. Haha..
To a certain dude: You know what? All those smiles of yours; all those "Oooo, I see."; all those expressions you give when you see us together or hear of us together? They're getting on my nerves. At first I was ok with it. I mean, joking around every now and then is ok right? It is. Initially. After sometime, it just gets so irritating and I get so sick of it, I wish you would just shut up. No offence, but what would you even know anyway? You don't even know what's going on ok? For god's sake, stop it. It's stupid, immature and irritating. Is it impossible to be good friends with a person of the opposite sex? I don't think so. Since it isn't, just stop it. It's getting old. Really old.
Gurl: Glad you're ok. Nah. It's ok. Don't think you'll be into the things we do anyway. Haha.. We didn't play table-tennis anyway. Haha.. Yep. Let's watch The Incredibles one day. I feel like going Snow City or something. Haha.. Somewhere freezing cold for once. It's been so hot lately. Ok, so it's raining outside now. But in the mornings, it's so freaking hot. Oh man. I feel myself melting. Hyuk. Ok. So we'll go out one day k? Looking forward to it.
Ok. Think I'll get on with life. Oh. There are some
really fun games on cartoonnetwork.com. You should all go check it out. Haha.. Yea. Ciao.

Talk to me
This is for my friend. Don't even know if you read my blog, but hope you do. So anyway:
Gurl. You've been pretty sad lately. I guess it's because of that thing. You know,
that thing. I'm sorry for getting you into trouble. Since it's my fault that I can't give him what he wants. I owe him and all. And you guys are friends and all. And about the other guy. You guys aren't getting along because of
that thing too. I think. I'm sorry. But maybe if you talked about it you may feel better? I'm always here you know, to listen to you. And there's all your other friends too. It's not healthy to bottle things up, so you should talk to someone about it. I don't want to prob. It's so.. sticking your nose into other people's business. Ya. So talk to me ok? Guaranteed, I don't know them, so I can't judge them. But seriously, I don't think he's such a great person really. Maybe he's different around you. But I don't know man. I just don't really like him. Yea. Cheer up soon ok? It's been long since we saw you being really happy. Let's go out one day ok? Do something we really love. And for once forget all your troubles and don't sms. Haha.. Please cheer up. Seeing you depressed makes me depressed too.

Normal
I'm sorry about the things I've said. Sorry. This most probably can't make it up, but I'm sorry. I guess I said it wrongly. I do. Really do. Let's rewrite this and go back to the start shall we? Let's be good friends once again. Like I said, I LURVE you, a whole lot. And I'm really glad that things are back to normal. Maybe they aren't, because such issues aren't easy to forget. But let's get over it and be what we used to be. Bestest of best friends. I've missed you. How nice it is that things are ok now. Looking forward to seeing you tommorrow.
It's official. We're absolutely retarded. As of today, we're The Twits. You may think there is a limit to one's 'retardedness', but I think we've proved otherwise. I have no idea where we got this from (I think it started with Xw calling Brian a twit) but it's great fun that we did. Haha.. Thanks you guys, for providing me with endless hours of fun. Haha.. The times we spent together has been great. Looking forward to playing Donald Duck again. Haha..
Haha.. This is nice. I think. Yesterday, I was really bored and decided to do another 'painting' again. Thought I'd put it here. To share. Waha. Do comment on how ugly it is. Haha..
Ok. So I don't know how to. Waha. Ok. Shall go try playing Worms with Xw. Ciao~

Leave. Get out.
Number 1: Leave. Get out is a really nice song. Not that I can relate to it or anything. But I really like it. Very catchy and all. Of course, I still love Vindicated more.
Number 2: I feel like saying this to many of the people in my live now.
Number 3: I don't know what else to entitle my entry. Yea.
Can I trust you? I can't possibly ask you. But I really want to know. We've had our good times. Yea. We had loads of fun together. I've told you everything that happens in my life. Everything. Now, I don't know if I should have. Where are all the good days now? Surprisingly, I don't miss them. I don't know why? But I guess it would be fun to have those good days now. Last time, everything was simple. I could trust you. I thought I knew you. I guess I don't. I guess I was just plain stupid. Now the things I've been hearing, it gets me wondering. It does make sense. Really. It does. Of course I don't want it to. But I don't know the truth. Maybe it is, and I just don't want to face it. Are you really what they think you are? Are you really? Can I really trust you? I need some answers. But I guess, the truth does hurt.
Some of you. Can you please be serious? Things aren't so easy you know. They don't just automatically fall into place for your convenience. You don't say that if they know, good for them; if they don't, whoops, too bad. If you can't fulfill it, drop it. I'm not saying I'm great, doing really well at what I'm doing. No, I know I'm not. I've got my flaws. But I do what I'm suppose to. Don't tell me to relax. You guys can't keep asking me to relax. I can't. Not if I see you not doing what you're suppose to do. Ask yourself, are you doing what you're suppose to? Does your job give you time to chit-chat even though you obviously have a task to do? Does your job tell you do just don't care and assume they know? Does it? Answer me. Are you doing your job? If you're not, then do something about it. And if you can't take it, drop it. The person I'm talking about, I don't hate you or anything. I just can't stand what you're doing. I'm not good at scolding a person in the face. So I just have to do it here hoping you'll read it. If you continue your actions, you'll regret it. Serious.
How do you inspire a very big group of people? How do you make them work hard? Do you guys have this idealogy that as long as a certain number of people is working for the goal, we're going to reach it? Do you people seriously think that if you don't work for it, you're really going to reach you goal. You guys are so wrong. Where's the team spirit? Where's that passion in you? You think that by just sitting around waiting for the others to make and effort you're really going to get your goal? Why are some of you just so selfish? Are you just out to spoil our chances? Why are you causing the others trouble by not working hard? Does it satisfy you? Does it really?
You guys really need to Leave. Get out.

Newfound Love
Today has been the most un-exciting day of the week. I did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Ok. So I watched The Forgotten. Went to town. And. Ya. That's it. Do you see why today has been a CRAPPY day.
The Forgotten. It is a VERY weird show. Nice though. Unlike what I read about it. Something about it having a VERY bad ending and stupid plot and stuff. But it's nice. I enjoyed it. Really. All you out there who are having doubts about watching it. Just forget those doubts and watch it. Already. Ok. So it's just only been out. So ya. Whoever's planning to watch it, good idea. The theatre was packed. The guys next to me were really giggly. Which was seriously weird. And the guy next to me sister? He screamed during one part where there was like sudden sound. Yup. The show's quite weird really. Like when you watch it, it's quite funnay. But still nice all the same. Yup yup.
Have you checked out my new template? Well. Duh. If you're reading this of course you have. It rocks right? I totally LURVE my new template. It's so freaking nice. Haha.. Can't get over it. I'm still surfing blogskins for more templates. I kind of like want to keep a library of them or something. Haha.. So that when I want to change my template, I don't have to keep searching again. All those that I like are already there. Yup. LURVE my template. Haha..
Oh. There's this HUGE spider in my house. Somewhere in my house. Which is REALLY bad. It's HUGE. As in like seriously big. And I don't know where it's dissappeared to. Which is the worst part. I'm not exactly afraid of spiders. But I totally don't want one crawling all over me when I'm sleeping. Dammit. Get out of the house you stupid spider.
This Saturday is the Tm Enterprise thing. Whoot. Should be fun. Looking forward to see what's being sold. Good luck to all you guys in it. If I know you, just tell me and I'll come support me. Haha.. Yep yep.
Think I'll end here. Want to go look for more nice templates. Haha.. Ciao.

Finally
After being deprived of East Coast Park and Roller-blading for MANY months, we finally got down to doing it yesterday. Roller-blading I mean. Hooray.
Here's how it started. I woke up a 8:15am thinking there was Geography class. Got ready, got mom to send me to school. Walked into school, headed for class and found out they were having A Level Exams. So thought I'd call Brian and ask him where we were having Geography. Good news, there WASN'T Geography class. Diao. So I was like. Ok. What do I do now? He asked if I wanted to go ECP. We're suppose to do it on Monday, but he couldn't make it. So I was like, ok! Might as well. Since I had nothing to do and it was pretty pointless to go home. So, met him and called Xingwen to join us. While waiting for him, sat outside the AVT and just hung around. Finally, Xingwen arrived. Took the bus, went to my house to collect my blades and the bike for Brian. Waited for the rain to reduce to a drizzle and walked to ECP. Got there and Xingwen decided he wanted to skate. So, lent him my stupid skates with the plastic wheels. Which means it moves really slowly. So, we went to the beginners place where he tried out skating. There was this bunch of guys, who could skate like WHOA. Can't stand it lo. They skate freaking cool can? I wish I could skate like that. Not wanting to burden us, Xingwen told Brian and I to go ahead to Bedok Jetty which we wanted to go in the first place. So we biked/skated to Bedok Jetty. Whoot whoot. That place was so cool, and so nice. But it was like seriously hot. So we decided to do something even dumber. Go sit on the breakwater. Haha.. The rocks were really hot and there were rambutan skins on it. Being really bored, we flicked them off. Spotted a puny crab which Brian attempted to catch, but failed. Haha.. Too far down and inside the rock I guess. After sometime, decided to turn back. Brian went ahead to go find Xingwen because Xingwen was skating towards us. So I was skating with this 3 bikers at a period of time. One cut into my path. Hooray. So I turned and hit the side of the road thing and fell very unglamorously face first into the grass. Haha.. It was seriously embarrassing. Luckily there wasn't really anyone there. Just the 3 bikers and me. Yup. So now my hands hurt and I can't really play my trombone properly. But can survive ba, I guess. So we met Xingwen, went for lunch and came my house to waste sometime befor tuition at 5. Played PS, this stupid Donald Duck game. Haha. It was really retarded. But fun. Then went for tuition. Brian came with us too. And we were being mental most of the time. Laughing about really crazy stuff. "No. You shaup." "It's too tight! Take it off! Take it off!" Haha.. And that stupid I can move my ears thing. Haha.. Freaking lame. Haha..
Ok. I think I've written enough for today. Haha.. Ciao~

Attempt the First to re-enter the Blogging World
Before I went to have my afternoon nap today, I was determined to blog today. No matter what. So here I am. Blogging. I tried once. Last time. But the stupid thing got erased. Therefore I was so freaking irritated I decided not to re-blog.
So anyway. What's to talked about? Eh.. Oh. I watched Ladder 49 on Sunday. It's the most freaking saddening show on Earth. So irritating can? Haha.. What I didn't want to happen JUST had to happen. Darn. But loved the show still. Real glad that I watched it. Haha.. Anyone who hasn't watch it, YOU MUST. Trust me.
This is getting pretty freaky. Offstage is approaching. Real soon. And the ticket sales are like crap. How. I don't know who to sell to. I'm trying to sell to as many people as possible. But all this people just don't want to buy, or say they not free. And all my friends, all say no money. Even got money, until today also don't want to buy. Thanks lo, you guys. Oh well. I really hope you Bandits can sell as much as possible and come and ask me for me. If not I can quite guarantee Offstage will be quite a flop. I have so many tickets with me still. Darn.
So, I've been following the 9 o'clock show. And I CAN'T STAND YILIN. As in, not my classmate Yilin. Haha.. Love that girl. As in that stupid character she plays. How can like that one lo? You're friend can? Bitch man. This type of friend. Who needs enemies when you have friends like that. And that Toro. Why he so wishy-washy? Just tell that stupid bitch to bug off la. Yilin so yuck lo. Girls like that are so embarrassing. Stop throwing yourself at him la. Eww.
I love Vindicated. I know it's quite old le, but I still want to say I love it. Haha.. I'm just being plain retarded. But the song like, seriously nice le. Haha.. The lyrics, like very meaningful. Haha.. Cool le. I love this type of songs. Instead of those, no meaning one. So dumb. Wonder got what new songs lately that are nice. Hmm.. Sad that I can't download anymore songs. Don't think Dad will let me download those stuff. So I can only depend on buying CDs. But then, no money.. Sian. Hai. Now, can only depend on radio. But hate half the songs they play. Argh.
Last Saturday was the Brass Band Concert thing. It was like WHOA. So freaking nice can? But they like freaking loud le. Hmm. I wonder if those guys become deaf or something. Then the concert very entertaining. Haha.. Very funny. The Tuba guy and all. Haha.. Real nice. If only can watch again. Anyway, sat with Yilin. And Yilin, being Yilin, kept me entertained during the whole concert. Haha.. She asked me why they all had pot-bellies. Was it natural for all band players? Is it because the breathe too much, the 'thing that i don't know what to spell but its that thing near our stomach which expands when we breathe' expand too much and therefore they got pot-bellies. Then she worry, she didn't want a pot-belly. Haha.. So crazy right? Throughtout the whole concert we were talking about pot-bellies. Then there was the Eb Cornet guy, who played about a tenth of each song, he was slim lo. Then we were like, of course la, since he hardly play. Haha.. Then she say she wanted to go ask them about their pot-bellies, and wanted to talk to the Tuba guy. But, of course we didn't do it. Haha.. Really enjoyed the concert. Haha.. The Eb Cornet very cute le. As in the instrument, not the guy. It played this RIDICULOUSLY high notes. So even though it hardly play, it was still like very obvious, totally can hear. Haha.. Real cool la, the concert. Next year got more Brass Band concerts. Yilin and I arranged to go for it le. Oooh! Can't wait. Haha..
I am seriously bored. Haha.. Came online to talk to this friend and he offline le. So i kind of nothing to do. Hmm.. Oh well. Think got nothing to say le. So shall stop here. Ok. Bye.
