My title has in no way, any relevants to what i'm gonna post in this entry. Just couldn't really think of a stylish opening.
Band camp has just ended, and walla, here i am, typing an entry into my blog after 2 months. I've learnt quite a lot during the warcraft cum band camp , made some new friends and of couse grown closer to some. Bed time: 4am was quite a delightful torture. Within 3 days, I've played almost all my wc3 maps i've downloaded plus maps i never knew existed like Dota. On top of that, my lower lip is smarting. All i need to do is touch the region around it and poof, it starts to give off jolts of piercing arrows in all directions.
An important lesson: Never play wrestling on the road, to be precise, on a declining tar road. Its one thing to bring a toothbrush and another thing to forget to brush my teeth. Kinda terrible, if you think about it.
My clarinet section is quite terrible. Seriously, there are only a few committed members. Never has there been a practise completed with full strength. Fsb and acband was almost the perfect opposite. I sometimes feel sad that i left a government school for a tertiary institute. Was that the best choice? Nevertheless, I've learnt quite a lot from Aikkee Tan, Npband's conductor, even though i find him more a technical person than musically inclined.
Music aside, the rest of the camp was quite a success. We had some team building games as well. For the first time i see an encouraging form of productive competition. Even though i did not get to enjoy the games, I definitely enjoyed having people shouting "Nicholas is the best!".
Npband's many traditions once set by the now alumnis of the band is definitely not in my liking zone. I dare say its inefficiency is causing the band's downward spiral. Of course, there is the ex-president who has a mind of his own. Its weird to see your president playing mahjong during sectionals time last camp, now this camp he refuses to play team building games. All hail, the president of destruction, for those who are not with you are against you. I'm becoming quite a
hypocrite. I definitely hope to see an improvement. Like i said, he was the ex-president.
Bathing and sleeping are hazardous actions. Bathing cubicals have no hooks, as a result, ever so often users tend to get their clothes wet, not by shower, but by gravity pulling on the clothes. As if that is not that bad, there are only 4 bathing cubicals. If time is money, I'm be a pauper. Also, sleeping on mats that are dirty dirty dirty and dirty, just imagine something like a bed that has been in used for a long time and never washed. Eeeeeyuck.
