Post Mid-Term Exam Report.

It was a war, a war that every student had to face, "The War of the A's"... Exam season, went away just as quickly as it came.

Sitting here, writing this report with my sanity still in tack, I am one lucky guy...

The list, in order, of the examination papers (time excluded, dates only):
15/5 Friday - Physics.
19/5 Tuesday - Add. Maths, PJK, Sivik.
20/5 Wednesday - Chemistry, BC 2.
21/5 Thursday - General Maths, BM 1.
22/5 Friday - Sejarah, BI 1
25/5 Monday - BC 1, Biology.
26/5 Tuesday - BM 2, P. Moral
27/5 Wednesday - BI 2

Physics, ok la, get the idea good enough.
Add. Maths, won't die, but not good.
PJK, no comment.
Sivik, who needs sivik??
Chemistry, no idea what I was doing.
BC 2, can go die already.
General Maths, was pretty easy.
BM 1, so lousy...
Sejarah, also can go die.
BI 1, zai zai lai la...
BC 1, DIE DIE DIE DIE
Biology, Also ok ok, not very sure in some part...
BM 2, not very good.
P. Moral, simply write the essay...
BI 2, wtf this standard? Child's play, not even primary 6 standard(Singapore syllabus la...) Sub sub water...

That's it, the end of mid-term exam... Finally can start jamming at band. Competition dates are also out, 24/6 is district, 3/7 is State, AMC and PGS not joining...

Exam is nearly over.

Wow, finally, the mid-year exam season is finally reaching it's end, can't wait...

Long time since my previous update, May is the month with the least blog updates...

So to say, most of the important and killer subjects are over, which are - Physics, Chemistry, Additional Mathematics, Modern Mathematics, Sejarah, BM1 (form 4 is Karangan) and BC 2 (also the opposite).

After this, the remaining killer subjects are Biology and BC1(essay)...

Other events from the past week are the increase in users of our new band website: NanHwaBand.org.

Other than that, would be Jia Xun and Jessica's birthdays (same date, haha) happy birthday to you two.

Will be going to practice later... Gotta read Bio later as well, start memorising those biological stuff... ewww...

Alas, the wings of time beat yet ever harder

I was there complaining how unprepared I was for form 4, and here I am, anticipating the thing that I wished would go away faster, or better yet, never existed: exam, to make things worst, Mid-Term EXAM...

The exam for us form 4 will begin during Thursday... Physics (of all subjects...) will be the first thing to tackle, form 5 already started today, doing EST... With band practices put to a halt, it gets even more boring with each passing day. Arrgh! Exam, pass as soon as possible... T_T

After exam, we gotta prepare for the competition, also just around the corner...

So don't expect me to update my blog too regularly for this week and the following... That's it... Good to all for exam.

Campur Rojak Cendol Blog update....

Let's talk about exam first shall we?... So fast la... Next Thursday start already, 1st is Physics... Shoot... haven't Really get use to all the formula... what a=v-u/t, then f=ma, what v=s/t??? Newton's 1st law states that what? what? WHAT?? @_@...

Then got band again?... So rush nia... Band Camp? 6th of June... Not around... I gotta give up my assistant camp leader position... T_T sad nia... Can't get to participate band camp this year... Need to go back to Segamat, Johor to celebrate my grandparent's Golden Wedding Anniversary... Don't go back? Death Sentence... But I can rest assured my position was passed to a reliable Jia Xun, do a good job ah Jia Xun, make band camp 2009 a memorable one.

Hai... now Perak political instability has reach it's peak point, and may take a long time before it starts calming down... This may result in an unconfirmed Perak Band competition date I worry... Touch wood that won't happen...

That is ehh... Good luck in Exam...

So fast...

Just like last year, time just slips away faster and faster... Accelerating each year, and now, I am writing this blog during the 2nd of May 2009. What? May already??? See, the tricky thing called time...

Exam... AHHHHHH... I just feel so helpless each year when ever you come...

Competition... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!..... We are so not prepared for this.....

But rumour has it that Perak Marching Band Competition may be canceled (I didn't comfirm it, don't say it is me who say... may only be 0.01% that this will happen) due the political instability of Perak, specifically because no organizing party was confirmed yet to hold this Competition... I'm just telling so that you all out there will be prepared for the worst...

Today funeral... nothing speacial... just like JXun said... sunny, but not too hot, and walk 2 round... thats all... JXun become lightbulb today... haha......

Slur warm up and space chord progression



This is a video of the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps doing their warm up. In this Video: Slur Exercise, unknown chord exercise (supposedly from the movie "Close encounter with the Third Kind" in the scene where the alien signals can be heard), then the final Chord Progression (space chords). I want to share this video because many of our brass and wind players are not familiar of the space chord concept. So after seeing this video, I hope you all can get the Idea of the Chord Progression warm up.

On other subjects,

The Colour Guards are going to dance in our 3rd movement, but, can they handle the "sexiness" of the dance?... haha, Let's just hope they can, Jazz man, they gotta feel the beat. And for the forth movement, they are going have those wing-flags... Wonder how it's going to look like...

Brass and Woodwinds are starting to get warmed-up with the new warm ups... Not clear how many warm ups are they playing, someone do tell me. But I think there 16 in total for them to select...
