NUSWS Poem (yes, i was bored while studying for exams, haha..)

National University of Singapore
Undergraduates we are
Sharing the passion for music

While there is still time
I'll grab every last second
Never looking back
Days passing by

Sing the songs of joy
Yesterday was so wonderful
May all our dreams come true
Playing those beautiful songs
Hopes will last forever
On this journey
Nourishing the spirit and soul
You'll enjoy the ride =)

Events!

Haha.. I realised that some don't know about this.. So might as well blog about it. So that all can see too!


---------------------------------------------------------------------
The SINDA gig. Here's the details.

Event : Volunteers' Tea 2006

Date: 21st May 2006 (Sunday)

Venue : Suntec City, Convention Centre

Time: Performance would be anytime between 3- 4.30 pm


We are looking out for :

Item: NUS Winds Symphony performance

No. of Performers: min 10 to max 30 (Formal attire, the InTempo one, except guys no need wear blazer).

Duration: 5 - 10 minutes ( Please let us know of the more appropriate
timing for you)

Theme of Item: On the spirit of volunteerism & on the spirit of giving (confirmed "That's what friends are for" and "Stand by me").

Note: It's not confirmed yet. Just to let you all know only....

---------------------------------------------------------------------


Ok, got one more, Commencement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement C1, 6 July
OCR has confirmed NUS Wind Symphony to play the fannfares and pieces before C1 just like they do every year. Fanfare is for Honorary Graduand and President Nathan. The former is going to be a very high profile person so a bomb sweep and pre-dawn arrival of WS might be in order that day.

I have already communicated to them that a platform and tentage with fans must be set up at the driveway (remind students to bring clips for their scores or the fans will make the scores fly).

Reporting time to be confirmed as there might be bomb sweep in the morning which means the students need to come in much earlier ( we will reimburse them cab fare if so)

WS to confirm no of chairs/music stands/conductor's stand and platform and arrange for transport. Double confirm with BH if Tony will be given an honorarium.

And they have long legs like voodoo bunnies.

Clubbing

The lab is a nice place to
slack,
吹 Aircon,

Buffering will take long,
around 2 mins for this 15mb vid.

Bunnies should eat carrots!

And wear carrots on their heads!

A bunny a day nibbles all your carrots pancakes away...

Study hard for a better tommorow

I am going to throw away the alarm clock.
It woke me up @ the wrong time.

Some late nite contributions...





I realised I posted in the wrong blog for the following clip,
1/2 way while doing the entry just now in the evening.
Had wanted to post in another blog.
But nvm... went ahead with it.
Early nitez all~~~ =)




I shan't say much.

This is a very sad clip.
I wept for him over dinner.


NUS student checked his results online,
& realised he did not get cap 5 for the semester.






















For a moment I thought his favourite porn star died or something.

Derek

U guys know it.

Derek is my best junior.
I made him do the most push-ups back then.
And I felt a great sense of satisfaction.
Because those 200 push-ups changed his life for the better ever since.

2 nites ago I dreamt of Derek.

Last nite I dream of Derek again.


That woke me up in cold sweat.
Instead of refreshing nusws.blogspot.com
like what some crazy pple have been doing @ 3am 4am,
I checked out this site after reading RongC's blog.

I placed Derek's photo.
God.
He looks damn manly with his golden tuba.
I bet this pic will turn any girl on.










So Derek shares the same facial features as that guy.



Wah lau really resembles a lil'.












Aww LeonDerek Lai....

Sing me 甜密密 pls.

I'm willing to ride on your bicycle.





Let's take a tour around NUS,
everytime before band pract starts.

我们是幸福的.

Cute furry little bunnies that just don't want to live anymore

Posting of Images

Hey guys, try to keep the size of the pictures u post smaller by width = 400 (guideline) cuz if u dun.... the right panel will "disappear" to below all the posts.

Thanks!

If u cant change the physical size, u can add width = "". height = "" into the img src tag.

if unsure, look at the source codes. :)

Schmile :)

Sometimes you just gotta smile

stop and smell the roses

as we work hard to achieve our dreams
do remember to take some time out
and stop
to smell the roses =)

往者不可谏，来者犹可追

很多人都已经明白这个道理。为什么还有那么多人拼命地批评?为何不给解决方案？过去的已经不能再改变了。只好吸取今年的教训，用心专心地搞好下一次的演出。

是时候念书了吧！

Advice to Critics of Concert

To all people who wish to criticise a band performance (and wish to be taken seriously):

1. Please get the type of the group performing. The NUS Wind Symphony did not "market itself" as a "winds orchestra", and it certainly did not pretend "to be serious", even though the posters were rather professionally made.

2. Please get the name of the group performing correctly. The NUS Wind Symphony's name is obvious...it isn't a Wind Orchestra.

3. Please know the repertoire before you even step into the auditorium. If you're not sure, the advertising posters have contacts whom you can call and ask for more details. Don't feel cheated by alleged false marketing (if there indeed was any) if you didn't know what the band was going to perform in the first place. Concerts aren't like Kinder Surprise, except for maybe the encore pieces. No band will ever advertise its concert without giving a run-down of at least a few of its pieces it is going to play for the concert.

What on earth possessed you to think that the all wind orchestras (and indeed, all orchestras of any nature) play only classical music during their concerts anyway? Are you sure you've been in touch with classical music anyway?

4. Please get the order of the repertoire correct. You have the programme list by your side. What piece comes after what piece would be clearly listed in the programme booklet. The piece after the trombone concerto was not the "ridiculous 'big-band' sounding amateurish piece", but the piece based on a Biblical story (and an encore piece by the SSO guest trombonist before that if you really want to get to specifics). Not getting even the repertoire correct makes you sound as if you are out to make your blog a flame bait for people from the band.

5. Please do your research on whichever instrumentalist you criticize. If you want to criticize a "joker" for allegedly spoiling a solo segment, you don't straightaway assume that he is a "histrionic" student "from NUS" when people in the know can tell you that he isn't even an NUS undergraduate.

6. Please do keep your aural skills on high alert. An oboe solo is an oboe solo; you should not make a boo-boo like calling an oboe solo a "cor anglais" solo when you had just stated your admiration for the music of Brahms, Mozart and Tchaikovsky, and were lambasting band music as "brainless". You make yourself sound foolish, no matter how many valid points you make on how the band sounded...and you did make some sound remarks.

===============================================

All quotes in above blog entry culled from Weiqin's blog entry entitled "Bad Music"

this blog is made as a spyware to track who's the band member who sleeps the latest.

haha.. ermz tink ppl can juz comment, up to us whether we wan to improve. it's alw easier to criticise than to commend. so, up till now, i stil had not heard of any good comments yet. it's alw crticisms that comes out from ppl who wants to compare us with professional without realising that we're actually students. I keep thinking: "why compare us to fredi???" I believe that the main band sounds OKAY in Colors. (To concert goer, have u listened to the professional recording? i think the band is roughly 70% of that standard) I noe it's normal to have high expectations for a concert, but really, from all the bad comments, I think ppl have been really mean and say things without going through their big brain. I guess I dunnit to elaborate.

To those non-NUSWS ppl who wrote bad comments abt soloist, i've nothing to say but to ask "have u played a solo before? u sure u wun play it badly on concert day? so confident ah? confirm no stage fright?"

But of course, there're definitely flaws in our concert which I hope we can work on as all of u know there'll be some big changes happening to the band. So... dun be too demoralised by all those bad comments (since there're practically no good ones from non-NUSWS ppl), work hard, and dun be too complacent too.

To the new comm, I guess u all shd noe it's THE time to change things in this band.

To non-NUSWS ppl, wait and see lo... InTempo 07...
(I think i should like i wan to fight, sorry, but really... this is wat i feel la)
