I Think I'm In Love With You

Friday, May 19, 2006

Have been days since my last entry here. Was very busy for the past few days, until now then do I have some free time to update my blog.

First of all, thank you Salleh for helping me, or rather the Alumni Band sort out the Oregon scores. I'm so grateful to him. He has been a great help to me as well as the Alumni Band. Thanks alot. Without him, think I'll go crazy handling then band. Hee. With him coming all the way down to NYP Band Room to sort just the scores that is needed for the Alumni Band Practice, make me see how helpful this man is. Really a great committee member.

I'm so glad that "M" and "J" had their friendship bond together again. Really glad seeing that. So happy that they are fine again. And it's me and her now. Ao on Wednesday, I decided to call "M" at night after she knock off her work. But before I could do that, she SMS me saying forget about what has happened on Sunday. Actually, seeing her SMS makes me feel more grateful and relieve than anything. At least I we can talk nicely and solve things.

At night, we talked on the phone and settle things among ourselves as well as others. Though many things have not been settled yet but I really hope that the misunderstanding between the main band and the alumni band can soon been cleared. People from current band, anything that you all unhappy about the Alumni Band or whatever that you want to discuss with us, can always approach us and tell us. We are mroe than willing to help you all, be it solving it or thinking of a solution. Keeping quiet is not the way to do things.

Thursday is my first day of class for my degree course. The first time I've been taught by a western teach. I realise something, that is western teacher's teaching method is really better than local ones. They have more humour as well as they make themselves very clear when they deliver their lectures. It makes me have the perspective that local lecturers teach for the sake of their salary, while western teacher really have a passion in teaching.

Did a photocopy of scores (Hobbits) for the Alumni Band and sorted them out in the bandroom. Sorting out the scores is much moredifficult than what I think it should. Took 1.5 hours to do that. Saw Salleh in the Bandroom which I was rather shocked to. Didn't expect him to come down actually. He help out with sorting the scores as usual and also look for scores that he would want to conduct on Saturday. He found "Selection from Starlight Express" score and went digging each folder for the scores. Actually, after this few days that he offer to help, I really find him quite a nice guy. Only thing is he has a stern face, that's all, but he isn't that stern afterall.

Had a small dispute between the clarinet alumni and Huimin due to the new year one. Her instrument is spoilt and need a new instrument. Then HUimin came to me and said "Please tell the Alumni that instrument priority going to the year one", and I told her to tell them. With much thinking, I said, "ok, I'll help settle it out", coz I'm afraid that their might be big disputes. Luckily enough I was there, if not I think the would have quarrelled.

Alumni members, try not to have any disputes with the main band people. If there isn't enough instrument for usage during main band practice, offer your instrument to the year one as they are current members and we are just alumni. As never go the easy way out. Go as what it should go. When I say use whatever instrument inside the bandroom, I mean use whatever instrument inside the band room. Dont go approach the main band member (even if they are leaving) and ask them to offer you their instrument, as it may turn out to be the other way round at the point of view to people seeing beside. I don't want any unhappiness between main band and alumni band. I don't want people to say my alumni force juniors to give them instrument to use.

Initially wanted to send and SMS to darling asking whether he want to meet me or not, but in the end I beat the thinking. I believe he will say he can't meet me last minute, which is always the case. So as to prevent the disappointement, I rather I don't ask. At least I will feel better. Haha.

Now, guess I will have to go highlight the style of the newspaper today coz tomorrow teacher have to go through it. Haha.
