with longer pants comes a longer list of homework on the first week.

today is saturday. usually saturdays people would wake up late. okay maybe now, school season just started, people would have tuition/cca/classes.

today, I had to go to 3 things. at the same period of time.
1.) Odyssey of the Mind meeting @ 8am in school
2.) Band banner do-up @ 9am in school
3.) SSW practice @ 9.30am at Sembawang CC

wah sian.

but I didn't go to any because I had to go the doctor's, my tonsils were inflamated and it hurt real bad in the morning but now it's okay. so now news about OM yet, banner making for band wasn't compulsory but I think as a member I should some stuff yeah? and SSW ended practice early? weird. wonder what songs did they try out.

anyway, got $250 for merit bursary thingy at CHIJI OLN, then went for lunch at Hougang Mall LJS. AND THEN went to the library to pay off my *cough*$11.75*cough* fine. so just browsed the art section because that's where the comics are found, heh. but cheng siang library la, cant expect much. after getting 2 comics (a book from the For Better of For Worse series and something which looks like The Far Side Gallery type books) decided to use those computer search and see what cheng siang has on gustav mahler BUT the computers .. 1 computer had a faulty keyboard and one more, when I typed, chinese characters came out .. so didn't bother to try. but when I was browsing the arts sections ... I found a book on Gustav Mahler! beside it was Ralph Vaughan Williams and Dmitri Shostakovich. so borrowed the one on Mahler and Shostakovich. also borrowed a book on the masters of jazz saxophone.. nice book.

one thing to add, dickson wants me to set up an ensemble on orientation day. HOMINA HOMINA HOMINA .. so yeah. I arranged one yesterday night called 'So What?'. Original instrumentation is for alto sax and piano. but I arranged for 2 alto saxes and 1 tenor sax. it's a grade 2 piece more on tone and stuff. can use as warm up also. 2nd one is like a swing piece. still arranging it though. original instrumentation for sax quartet (sop,alt,tenor,bari .. thus SATB format) but since our school's sop sax is in repair .. arranging for 2 altos, 1 tenor and 1 bari. uber coolnezz. wait, coolness.

moving on, I got 6-7 episodes left of South Park season 6 .. so yeah. But gonna study bio and physics later. and do homework ... yes, around 7-8 pieces of it.
