I don't know how to express my happiness right now. I am just so happy. Today is the first time in my life that I was so happy that I cried. I really want to thank all the ahbanders who have made this possible. Today is really a very special day for me. I have never been happier. Congratulations on the best results!

The bass clarinet finally arrived this afternoon. The only problem now is that the old one is a little spoilt and has to be sent for repairs. That means sharing during band practice again. I must say that I am not used to the bass clarinet being so shiny. It was very glaring when I was removing the fingerprints from the keys after sectionals today. I hope it can become seasoned by the end of April. I also finally got my reeds. I have to thank Hansel for helping me get the reeds.

I just had a very bad start to project work. It all started with the talk in the performance theatre today. Firstly, it was so boring that I lost the battle to keep myself awake and secondly, I fell sick all thanks to the PT's air conditioner wich was blowing at me at full blast for the whole one hour and few minutes. I was one of the lucky few with a jacket, but I suppose I am the only one who caught a cold. Somebody please give me a remedy to cure my cold. I don't wish to live with it. I need help. I don't know if I am playing anything wrong. Can someone please correct me and teach me? I'm already trying my best to listen to myself and others but I still cannot do so many things at the same time.
I wish that the cold can just get out of me now.

I think I still like this song better. I'm in a mess now. I have so many things to do. I have finally finished the physics tutorial on heat capacity. I still have the one on forces. I also have Chemistry and Economics tutorials to finish. That seems to be quite a lot. It seems like it is going to be quite hard to get into Singapore Conference Hall to see AHBand perform. There are very few tickets given to us.
I must thank Kang Jie for giving me a lot of good advices. It has also reminded me of the way I worked in secondary school and the way I am working, or rather, slacking now. I ought to do something about that.

I just inflicted more suffering on myself. I think I will have to save even more money now by eating less because I just spent a whole lot of money on a Eddie Daniels ligature this afternoon. I'm still not very used to the ligature but I think it has quite a focused tone for the higher notes. I shall try experimenting with the ligature to see what would give me the sound I want. I think that by buying the ligature, I might end up spending more time playing on my bass clarinet and improve more. At least there is something to motivate me to play more now. I am still stuck under a huge pile of tutorials. They just keep on stacking up, and I have not even done a single piece of homework over the weekend except for one mathematics question that took me half an hour to solve. I shall start on my physics tutorials on Monday and try to finish as much as I can by Tuesday night, meaning that I will do till I get stuck (hopefully I won't get stuck, so I can finish them).
10 more nights to AHband's SYF and 33 more nights to VJCSB's SYF as of tonight.
