Cousin Carlyn calls herself Ga Young. Korean fan~
Now we both play the flute. Oh yay.
Playing jazz and blues is definitely appealing to me, but I can't seem to comprehend how the improvisations and rhythms fit and I end up making contraptions of crap.
Myxolydian chord....
Whole tone chord...
Pentatonic (this is fun) chord.
Music is as simple as it seems to you peeps out there. Being good at music is more than getting your Grade 8 cert. Any musician can practice like mad and earn a pass or better. But trust me, you don't know any better about music after the exams.
Yea shaken exams off for this week, parents are out-of-state and dropped me n' the jing sister off with the music schoolians. Glad I didn't have to take Sej 1 but I wanted to take Chemistry...
Dying to play in an orchestra. I'll be the first brass player for AMS and AMPAC, woot.
Anyone has Kenny G's album?
On a much brighter note, band is coming back. I'll get to learn the single reeds and perhaps practice the French Horn. Once more I'll be back to blasting your ears off with my Euph/Bari Horn. Thye Way aka "Star Performer" will be featured in the ear piercing on Bb Trumpet in Estancia backed by the Bb Clarinets, Tubas, Tenor Brasses, Horns and Saxes.
Get ready for some hot bandie action~ Harharhar
Maybe I'll grab one of the Trombones from the puny trombonists (oppsey) and make the hall tremble.
"YOU!!! YOU BOW TO DIS SWING BLAST OF MINE!"
Just me being random.

Nothing Significant
Not very sure what this post is going to be about.
Everyone seems to have blues about love, exams, money....
Yea you're even blogging several posts about it. It's natural to do so. Bloody annoying when you ramble and get too explicit. What's the point of telling everyone each and every way you flunked your Maths?
But don't worry, we ALL flunked.
And most of all, schools flunked the environmental crisis awareness test. We're wasting paper and ink here, photocopying causes excessive carbon dioxide emissions, perhaps the monoxides too.
I think I've said this before, our world is either dead or dying. I wouldn't prefer either one.
I'm watching people at my age going through a stage I went through a while ago. Does that make them stupid? I don't think so, but that kinda disproves the theory that we're all equals.
Kinda more like we're born with equal rights, but not with equal ability or skill.
It can't be equal cause we all have different distribution of traits and talents.
Prodigies pay for their skill with a sucky something else.
Some pay with inability to comprehend beyond simple.
Some have to pay with health issues.(Frankly, these people die young)
Some others seem to pay with nothing at all.
But who knows?
Why are you reading this?
Ain't nothing you can't find from a mind of your own.

Test Pad Blues
I've been asking people for test pads and pads....
Oh did you say PADS?
Physics 3 might just blow me...I'm not really up to date with my physics.....
Don't even get started on history....
Went to Dom and Gary's place on Wednesday. Quite a nice house. Outside you get a nice view of Megamall's ads including Cold Storage. Simple enough and the kitchen was...how to say...intriguing.
Chelsea the cocker spaniel looks like a black blues singer. She likes running away from me then coming back...Then running away....
Gary says Bari sax is.....saxy~
Checked out its sound on YouTube and WOW....
Now I'm into Soprano sax, Tenor sax and Baritone sax. Although I must say reading Eb transposing instrument's scores is quite the annoyance. Somehow I don't find Alto sax's sound so appealing. Baritone is so cello-like, tenor sounds alike with the viola and soprano is just...sweet and mellow at the same time.
Though exams are something important, non-major ones are more like self-assessments. Seriously, what impact does this exam have on your life?
Tis' be The Bandies Cove. Both musicians and music illiterates alike, ye' beware our BLAST!

Warmth
Even froggy plays the sax.Found two kittens in my front yard. Mommy came later with another kid. Cool... My home has had lots of history of kittens born.
Sweeeet~Know the fingerings for all the notes now. But I doubt I can play as well as Marcus Lee.
Next on my list, practice french horn, practice sax, learn clarinet.
Oh my god I'm considering getting into flute. Cornetto better give me Durian Runtuh of 50k to spend on instruments.

Seeking Solace Within
Why do adults always have good intentions, great intentions even, but they always use the wrong media or method?
They often get very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very CONDESCENDING.
Since I was a kid, the only support I get from my parents is financial support. Be it through the house, the food, transport or books. It's only financial support. In my long 16 years, never have I gotten any mental or emotional support. But actually I'm partially thankful for this fact. Without it I wouldn't be where I am right now. I'm stronger than people at my age, even many older ones.
The father psychos you, the mother bitches by giving you the silent treatment, and then later when you try to settle up, she says you are ignoring her.
Don't get me wrong, parents always want the best for their children. But again, they always do it the wrong way, just like any other adult. Most of the time. Nearly always.
No matter how much your parents screw stuff up, you're gonna love them anyway. Even if we say we hate them, it's usually cause we can't stand to care anymore. Disappointment after disappointment hardens us up and we take our own small steps, and if we don't conceal our movements, our parents strive to bring us down under false impressions that we don't know what we're doing.
Show us the way if you think we're wrong, but please don't try to control us. Even God lets His children go their own way, but He guides them along the way. God doesn't have the remote control to your brain. Why should parents have the remote to ours?
Why should we submit to the school norm? What if your passion isn't included in the school curriculum nor the co-curriculum? We do it outside the school. But still your parents want force you to go through the school stuff. Even if you just don't get science, the point of add math or something else.
My point is, we know what we're doing. We're smart enough to know that. If we make mistakes, show us right from wrong, and let us continue our journey on the long road unharnessed. The only reason anyone does anything is because they want to, and against better reasoning - is right. Why does the thief steal? His financial needs obviously precede his well-being on the importance scale.
Sometimes, we need to do a little evil to do a far greater good.
That's already one kind of self-less sacrifice.
Adults get to do anything they want because they don't have their parents to control them (and often they do exactly what their guardians did to them to their own offspring or adopted children). Be it the book or movie they want to read, the work they have to complete or enjoy doing, the meal they prepare for their family's next meal, often late at night; adults do it because it's important to them.
Why can't we, the children, do the same?

Foraging Through The Dead Leaves
Decent Trombone: RM5k-7k
Decent Alto/Soprano Sax: RM 3-7k
Donation or sponsorship anyone?
My mouth got numb on Friday. Shit, after the practice in the hall, all my high notes went awry on the field.
Band has got jerks and weirdos.
Jerks are worse off.
We need filters to get jerks off the drill team.
Speaking of other jerks, they are contributing to my bad reputation.
Yea go spread your poisonous rumours.
I have immunity.

Looking To The Distance
I feel like I'm right there. So precariously placed.
The sun isn't treating us too bad lately. I've lost a little tan.... But not much else is clearing up. Cloudy thoughts...er....cloud me relentlessly now. Wonder which is the main course?Everybody has got problems. Yea, when you get too explicit with your life, BUMP comes the dumps, no one wants to bother anymore. Am I being too descriptive that your nerves are tingling? I'm sorry then.
I was thinking, we should have opted for concert instead of drill. Since PIBG isn't supporting us bandies anymore, figure we should have another form of fund income other than annual fees. Once we exhaust the resources, poof goes Mr Mah?
On a topic related to the swine flu. If any one of us friends says goodbye, know I love all you guys. We're this close to having the next influenza pandemic rampant. The age of birds and boars have come.
Some may have germ warfare in mind.
Bring pigs to the band competition.
Haha.
