Tomorrow at this time I will be on the plane flying to NEWYORK BAYBEH! Unbelievable. The day we have been waiting for, for about 2+ months is finally here. Holy bugger, I really just can't believe this. I really just can't.
It's all too ethereal. Let's go enjoy ourselves in New York! And try to forget about work for a while. Playing in Central Park and Carnegie Hall is not as simple as it looks. Playing. I remember our section motto used to be
'Stop playing and start Playing.' Up to you to interpret which version of playing it is. Okay. Let's do this. Play from our heart of hearts and come back proud and victorious!

I've found my mononononologue. It's from some obscure play by some obscure playwright that I bet you've never heard of. John Mortimer's What Shall We Tell Caroline. I see the look of incomprehension on your face. EXACTLY MY POINT.
Oh, how I wish Princess Mononoke or Nausicaa was in English so's I could steal some beautiful monologue from San or
Nausicaa. They're both girls anyway, so it wouldn't be a problem. But then again, if Ghibli films were in English, the feeling wouldn't be there anymore. It's just not the same in English and Japanese. And who bothers about cross-dressing? I had
2 beautiful monologues waiting to be read by me. Unfortunately, they just had to be spoken by males. Eh, those monologues were of high quality. Robin Williams won an Oscar for doing that monologue. And the other one was by Oxcar Wilde in his
play, The Ideal Husband. I mean. It's just that same issue about guys and girls. Whassamatter with wearing guy's shoes?? It's just a pair of (shift 1-9) shoes. And don't you dare ask me what shift 1-9 is, you !@#$%^&*(.
Wellheck. I'm very apprehensive about the New York trip. I don't want to go there and be some loner. I shall bring my mononononononononologue there and shout it out in Carnegie Hall! Test out the acoustics. If I can do it there, of course
I'll be able to do it here, in Day or Night or wherever my space is going to be. Oh man. Life is terrible. I don't mind going through another sec4 year. Though oseven was rather terrible. It was wholesome too. But I think. I have to move on.
YES DO YOU HEAR THAT. MOVE ON. SLAP YOURSELF AWAKE.
And oh my goodness goodness. The Greek exhibit was so terribly RA. And there were CHILDREN in there!!! Can you believe it? Some ART it is.
Thou imbecile.

Today, I rediscovered my love for Animation Medley. After playing it for 1 hour plus during band practice today, I find I am more bonded with the song! Sounds impossible, but yes. No one used to play it with me. Oboes didn't know the melody, and I
didn't have a bass clarinet to substitute for saxes. But today! Marvelous music. Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass playing the song. Although we only managed to do the Laputa part of the song(the 1st 25% of the whole 8min plus song) it was good enough
for me, for the time being. I've never met other band members who were so passionate about the music too. Happy Victorians Day today. I know my shirt may seem the most terrible-looking to you. But I like it and that's what matters, no?
I am only truly happy when I'm playing my instrument. Don't need no words to convey how much emotion there is in the music. I finally found out the 4 Ghibli films from which the songs in Animation medley were extracted from. Laputa:Castle in the Sky,
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Porco Rosso, My Neighbour Totoro. I sound stupid, but when I was trying to play the song for my section to hear on my phone today, my hands were shaking. Really shaking, I wasn't doing the parkinson's thing.
Gawd, I didn't know that Joe Hisaishi's music had such a powerful effect on people. That actually goes without saying. Anyone who has heard Sekai no Yakusoku will never forget it, I bet. Yes I will, I shall bet. Japanese songs are too beautiful.
Abandoned my Gr7 amd Gr8 piano songs for Yukie Nishimura's piano songs. Hopefully my piano teacher can procure a compilation of Joe Hisaishi's piano works so that I may play Summer soon. Oh my music.
Why do my favourite groups take turns to abandon me? Or maybe it's the other way around. Maybe I take turns to ignore the other 2. Oh cryptic-ness. Leave me be. I want to go for Speech Day. Stupid me should have tried harder to get more distinctions
so I wouldn't be worrying my blardy head off here wondering if I get to go for the marvelous event that we'd wanted to attend as a prize-winner since Sec1. 'Tis like absurd plays. We all say we want to leave, but inside we really can't and so
we don't, and stand there looking absurd like Vladimir and Estragon waiting for Godot. Tsk.
Nothing happens, twice.
I wait for Godot.
