Jaina came along and she sat beside me and we started talking. She kept saying she was so tired. Now that I think about it, I should have asked her why. Yeah, I didn't. I will, next time. Talked about kpop and KMW, whether I'm going or not, and which ticket he should get. Man, everybody's asking if I'm going for KMW or not sia. I wonder myself too...
I find that I'm losing my enthusiasm to cover events. I don't remember the dates and who is coming too. I don't keep track of events as much as I used to in the past. Picture uploading is slower too..I promised pictures but I haven't delivered yet. Sigh...what's going onnnnnnnn.
Ohyeah and Alan passed me the access card for the bioengineering lab which will be in my (or the group's) possession until the end of the academic yet. But it's signed under my name...so...it's technically mine. Lol.
Anyway. Jaina went back to her group so I continue on with my drawing. Zi Cong left early so I was on my own. I did a bit more, then left also. That was around 1400hrs. Headed to Khatib by circle line then had my lunch at NBSS. Basket sia the stupid security guard rude like siao ah. He doesn't know I come back often and so he treats me like a terrorist. "Come here for what, name, surname". I did my best to be friendly to him though -.- headed over to the canteen to see my favorite stall aunties. They were closing already, but they stopped and talked to me :') and they still remember my name!! Hahaha I shall take a picture with them next time I go back :) since they didn't have food I had to go to the only stall that was open and ordered carrot cake. Had one plate, and since I might not be having dinner on time, I had another plate.
Please don't let me eat carrot cake again for the next few months. It was a bad experience.
Once I was done with that, I headed up to the band room, and put down my camera bag. Said hi to the conductors, then went to meeting section. Putri knew I was visiting today, and I wanted to surprise the juniors so I didn't tell them. Hahaha poor Amirah. She wanted to get a picture with the section with me included. Daaaaaang I should have said I was coming. Lol.
The new member was Yan Mei as I found out. Background info: sec 1, played the clarinet first, then swapped over to our section after Putri fought for her LOL. She does quite well. Her tone isn't as fantastic as what was claimed to be, but she can play well. 2months and she has memorized the Bb finger scale, and she can read the first octave. She couldn't play consecutive notes in the same breath. That's the problem that I was told. Somehow, all my junior can't yeah her how. So I taught her once, let her make a two tries, and then poof she could do it lol. My juniors refer to me as the master teacher but I'm like LOL HELLO NO IM NOT LORH LOL. Anyway. At least that problem was solved.
Anyway. They had a new piece to play, "Celebrata". So I covered the first 24 bars with them. They had like 8 bars of rest at te beginning, played a trill, then a complimentary. So yeah. I saw pretty Sherrie walking by and so I called out to her. She stood outside the room, right at the glass widows, looking in, watching me teach the section lol. After a while she came in and let us listen to the song (she downloaded it I guess) and then I was like 'whoa the tempo so fast lol' but good thing I had things pretty much up to the tempo with the flutes even before listening to the track. So I plugged in her iPhone 5 to the PA system in the classroom and played it over the speakers lol. NICE SONG.
Once we got the tempo, I sped the section up to match the tempo for the same bars that I had them working on. Once that was done, it was already 1700hrs. I had my last few run throughs with them then I left. At the band room to get my bag, Mr Goh talked to me a bit about taking flute exams. He said that I should be entering at Grade 5, based on my standard. But of course that is the practical part. I asked him about he theory, and he said he could teach me those. But he's free only on Saturday mornings. Which I totally fine with. But whether I wanna take the exam or not, different thing.
I'm just a casual performer, I don't know whether getting a "license" (as I see it as) would be beneficial to me or not. Sure, if I were to play in a community band then yeah it migh come in handy. But I don't know about that yet. So far, I'm just playing for my own enjoyment, and when the ward/stake choir needs a flautist. Well, something to think about. He said that if I want, he can get the exam piece for me, practice for it, and let me take the exam, while he teaches me the theory Saturday mornings.
We decided to talk further on whatsapp. With that, I left, and headed to the bus stop where I would take 2 buses to get to MBS Convention Centre for Etude House Pink Play Party where SHINee and Sulli will be at. I waited for 40minutes, only to find out that the bus only serves in the morning. Made my way to the train station and met wming on the way. Went up to the station, and then I left first since my train arrived.
Reached MBS hotel/towers, then asked for directions at the Concierge, got directed back to where I came from. Partly though. Crossed the road to the Shoppes area then headed to Hall C. Saw trish there. She's with some media company (idc so I didn't bother asking who) so I registered first. I went in immediately (she had to wait for her ticket cue #okcan) then met up with syah, and stationed beside her on a black standee. Some drama with the security but after a while we were good. She gave the business card of someone she knows from ST (she was writing for the online forum so yeah) then she got a CREW pass. Heck syah next time help me get one ah lol.
Soon the event started. Ross was (lol rhyme) hosting the event. SHINee hasn't even made an appearance when I saw security standing in an emptied out circle. Saw some fans beside them fanning someone who apparently was on the floor. Security got a bottled water and have it to the person. My guess, the person fainted. Probably the warmth got to her. When she was wheeled away, she was all sweaty, so that pretty much confirmed my guess.
SHINee came up, Sulli too. Got 449 pictures or so. A good decent number. I had to keep changing my settings because the lighting kept changing. I didn't have a media pass either so it was tough using my heavy 80-200 to get shots.
Btw I wanna get a new lens. Something that reaches up to 400mm. I think Nikon has a 200-400 f4 I think...it's a constant ap so that's good. But I wish it were f2.8 or lower lol. But that means more money. Which is hard to get. Anyway. It's on my wish list.
Event ended and I met up with Geok Lan and her friends from online. All fans of SHINee. They're a bit auntie so i was glad that they decided to take the bus from dhoby while Geok Lan and I took the train back. We both alighted at marsiling, and she took the bus back from there. I chatted with her till her bus arrived.
By the time I reached home, it was already 2250hrs. But oh well it was nice catching up with Geok Lan aka angel. Supposedly she's the angel and I'm a devil (cuz I keep disturbing her and Frances lol) -.- she's still the same even after all these years. I miss the old Digiphoto team. Everybody's gone, and I'm the only one left who is still listed as their employee, even though I have not worked for them in a year. I guess it's the skills I have that makes them want to keep me. Though I'm bad with money.
Got back home, with that dumb pink bag that was given to all the participants of the event. I'm not planning to keep ANY of them, so I'm giving them to mom/jie and to Natalie, since I know how much of a fangirl she is for Taemin. Too bad the merchandises weren't so SHINee related..just some here and there, but nothing about Taemin.
Pictures will be up. I promise. Because I have time, and I'm in the mood for it. Plus there are just a few pictures. 500 tops.
Yeahhhh I'll do them.
Changed my wallpaper.
I miss that night.
