i know i'm supposed to be doing my work now but gee, i feel so.. nostalgic.

i mean okay, i've actually already started on my work, i just paused momentarily because of something i heard. such a familiar sound. such a beautiful sound!

the sound of a concert band warming up and tuning.

omg, you'd never know the beauty. you'd really never know the beauty. so pleasing to the ears!! i could rant on forever.

man i really miss swiss winds. and as if it's a coincidence that i was talking to ding about swiss winds on the way home last sunday.

heh heh :) i've been in a concert band for like 9 years? from p2 to p6, and sec1 to sec4. okay lah, primary school we were a brass band. secondary we had almost the full woodwinds. and guess which instrument i was on :D

anyway my favourite sound of the french horn can be heard most clearly now, whichever band it is that's playing at suntec at ungodly early morning hours. i miss that too! all our swiss wind performances :) esp at the parliament house thingy where we took photos with sir nardan :p

and swiss serenade :) we had that every year and damn we were good :D

swiss winds.
gold with honours at the SYF central judging for bands.

yes we're good :)) i miss sitting in the band room for hours and hours and hours on wednesdays and saturdays. i miss taking footdrill in the blazing sun and tekan-ing the poor band with shouts of "pumping position, DOWN!" hahahahahha so bad.

i even miss having mr.chew throw down his baton and storm off into the office, afterwhich us majors had to go in after him and pacify him and promise him that the band will work harder and so on and so forth.

mygoodness, i miss taking sectionals. and saddistic me misses torturing my juniors with whatever kinds of 'punishments' you can think of :D hahahah holding their instruments above their heads and running around the parade square. HAA!

given that, i actually was close to my juniors okay. i miss not paying full attention during band prac and laughing away at some random nonsense. and we can really laugh until cry one eh! also dunno over what.

AND! band tour!!! we went to malaysia to perform at various places ;) that was crazy man. four full days together with your band mates is like super fun. sth like camp, minus anointing haha.

yahhhh band camp in sec2. mygoodness. crazy lor! haha okay at this rate you can tell that i can go on forever but i won't. maybe when i'm free i'll put up our SYF recording :) two songs, our set piece and our choice piece. yes, we were good :D

life in swiss winds was tough.
life in swiss winds was super fun.
life in swiss winds is irreplacable.

well there are like three confirmed cases so far.

everything has to be super clean now. we're almost always in gloves. there's disinfectant everywhere. wash hands wash toys. temperature taking and health screening like two three times a day.

it's like we're becoming paranoid man. every single spot or red dot, be it in the mouth, on the hands, on the feet or on the butt, we have to call the parents.

so basically, we is busy.

we still can bring the kids out though, just have to avoid contact with everything. we can bring them for walks, or bring them out to play with like bubbles, but no playground and all that.

anyway haha thank God for sunday :) even though it was super tiring doing all four and even though we didn't get to do the item for second third and fourth, but i must say that i thoroughly enjoyed myself and i honestly never knew that merv was so lame. HAAA tongues!

and dinner at burger king. hahahahha don-ch-k-now......... :D

okay, now i just can't wait for the weekend. enough of glove wearing and temperature taking and cleaning of toys and disinfecting and all that. hurr hurr hurrrr...

JESUS SANCTIFIES!!!
