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.
