::so much to say::
Today's a really long day. To begin with, I spent the whole morning thinking about the story kyl asked me to write, and I only managed to write until half of Chapter 2. And it is really really short. It's the first time I am actually writing something like that. Anyway, I have CO after lunch. It wasn't so bad today because the conductor did not scold me. But he did say that there's one part that everything I played was wrong. I acknowledged that. And that was about all. Today a lot of Secondary 4 students came to join us in the training. I think there are 4 students joining our section. They are really good, and I feel kind of ashamed. But I think they are quite okay people. There's this girl that I just got to know today. She reminds me of one of my better friends in MJ. Nice person. At least she would help me with certain parts that I am unsure of. And there was Percussion sectionals after the orchestra training was over. The instructor was half an hour late!! We thought he had forgotten about it or something because he usually comes early. Anyway, learnt quite a lot of theory today. Quite interesting. Actually I think I learnt quite a lot. But the thing is that the instructor speaks only Chinese so I find it quite hard to communicate with him. After all, I am not very familiar with the Chinese terms for certain musical terms. I can't even remember how to say 1/4 and 3/4 in Chinese. I am such a disgrace. Anyway, there's this Chinese idiom that he said. I can't really remember what it is, but at least I can confirm that my Chinese really sucks. 巧妇--，-米--。 天啊！我真的记不起来了！Anyway, the teacher is quite nice. At least he helped me with this sicko part that I just cannot grasp. And now I think I am quite okay with it already. But I need to practise more. Practise! Practic[s?]e! Well, the whole thing ended quite late. My friend and I went to the toilet and before we went, our other friend, this guy was asking us whether that toilet's light ever turn offs. Well, I don't know, but anyway, there's this sensor inside that will light up the entire place after you enter. When we are done in the toilet, we started talking about the lights in school that are left on at night. Well, I was kind of spooked, but I can't always scare myself. We were walking towards the school gate and the uncle who locks the gate at 7pm was beckoning to us. We ran of course. When we walked pass him, he asked us if there's anyone left inside. And we said no. We walked a few steps away and my friend started talking about the motorcycle he saw inside. Well, that person will have to climb out just like my friend did when she and her CCA mates were locked inside. And there were cuts all over her leg. Bad idea, bad. But I am amused by the fact that we were actually the last to leave school! [Yeah, I know you are saying what's the deal about that].
