Today's English comprehension test was just like normal. Tests do not mean anything to me anymore. I don't know whether this is good or bad, but I seem to have lost all interest in finding out whether I have the correct answers or not. Speaking of this, I realised that I have completely forgotten that I had a Mathematics test on differentiation on Thursday. All thanks to my carelessness, I have lost at least 3 marks. I am beginning lose my concentration.
After the test, the bulk of my class had to clean up our classroom as punishment for leaving our books under the desks. I think that it is purely a waste of my time because by next week, it will get even dirtier.
Mr Chua had just came when I stepped into band room. He doesn't looks too pleased. I can say that I understand 5 per cent of what he is feeling. He has so many bands, and he has to repeat so many things over and over again, year in year out. In fact, he is repeating himself almost every time he steps in here. I wonder how he can take all this. Anyway, after taking the new recruits for less than an hour, he decided to send them out for sectional. We will have a new piece to work on this Friday. It is something and Fuge by Bach. At first I thought that it would be sight-readable, but just as I took a look at my part, I got a pleasant surprise. This is the first piece ever with so many semiquavers for the bass clarinet. I spent some time reading through my interesting part.
Taking junior band is a lot easier than taking the main band although they can get quite noisy at times. At least they are more easily controlled, and they make an effort to improve. This is one of the very few times I can hear a difference in playing in such a short period of time. I am praying real hard that the positive attitude of the junior band will not change and that the main band can learn from them.
After junior band, my father drove me home where I had my lunch. My piano lesson later on was a little more interesting than the past few weeks partly because the theory portion was omitted. I hope that when the results come out, I won't have to retake the theory paper. I have a lot of work to do concerning my scales and examination pieces. I definitely do not wish to fail the practical examination.
I went to sleep straight after my lesson. I must have slept very soundly because I did not realise that I have received 6 messages and missed a call. I only managed to get back to the person who called me after I was awakened by my mother to go for my tuition lesson. How I wished that the message that was supposedly sent by Estella using Wen Jia's phone was sent by someone else.
Chinese movies are getting irritating. The male actor's voice is as though he is trying to act as a female and all the male voices sound so "gu niang".
I'll stop here for today.
