the -e,-i and the new -u prefixes

Tired out from today. When I got home, went straight for the bed and just knocked out for around 2 hours.

Let's see, slept at 10+ yesterday night (unearthly hours for sleeping) then at woke up at 2am (proper sleeping time) then slept again until 4am. Then stayed awake till 7am, which I then slept for another half an hour. Prepared myself for physics/amath class. Then after my classes was over, boarded the bus to Whitley Sec. We reached there when it was just about lunchtime. Lunch was okay, free la so it was okay. Ate up fast then went to practice my Third Symphony. Dammit, the piece is just too hard la. Especially when I have no time to practice (15 minutes of practice is obviously not enough for Third Symphony :/) Gonna get scolding from Mr Ng the next time I turn up for practice haha.

Realized my sound is very thin. Maybe because I'm on some cheap Rico Royal reed that came with the instrument, and I'm using it because Gerald just "didn't" have the time to get one for me. OR maybe it's just me. Sounds weird if I have this sound and play the solo from the third movement. 2nd mvmt solo, sigh. Only the first few bars is ok, when reaching those drastic high-to-low passages, just can't do it right now. Then worked on those running passages which just sounded weird with my thin sound.

Okay moving to combined practice. Started with some singing exercise for note pitching. Then moved on to some chorale passage with no bari sax part (such a travesty!) Can bet Mr. Sukit just lifted that one from Sibelius. Then broke off into sectionals for half and hour to work on the piece. After sectionals just went through the chorale for half an hour before we packed up and placed our instruments inside Whitley's band room, how kind. Just went home after that. Bought bubble tea and lepak there for quite long. I bought a disgusting cup, peppermint shit. bleah.

So tomorrow's Vesak day. No need go school, can rest at home. Yay yay yay.

Hmmmm, my Philip Glass torrent can't connect to peers. AHHH, can't listen to Concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Orchestra!!! Nooo, and his 8 symphonies!!

Third symphony giving me nightmares... weird nightmares to make it worse ...
