無聊

The secret of being boring is to say everything...


I wonder if its because of the huge contrast between the last few weeks and now that made my life seem damn boring... The second last week of May was the most hectic period... I had 3 papers back to back; Wednesday, Thursday, Friday... With the previous paper on Thursday, I only have Friday, Monday and Tuesday to study, not counting the weekends because I'll never get anything in during those days... That was an ultimate test of my time management... After those 3 papers, it felt as like the end of my exams even though I have one last one the following Tuesday...

After the examinations was the preparations for the performance at Esplanade... First performance was on the first Monday of June (04/06/2007) and we had a performance at a home the day before that... The performance at the home was a full dress rehearsal for us since we're be playing the exact same pieces... We thought it was gonna be a easy job but had utterly underestimated the kids... It was the worst performance ever... Most of the effort needed was to fend off the kids from our instruments rather than playing them... So much for an easy job...

The first night's performance at Esplanade was good, we totally rocked the house... Though the performers' feelings weren't the greatest then... Everyone was damn irritated by the Band Director... Erggh... Am still irritated by the thought of it...

Everyone was feeling good at the second night, but the atmosphere was just not there... We couldn't heat up the crowd because we had to restrain ourselves while playing that night... There were other performances at the neighboring theaters and we were not allowed to give it our all... What's a percussion band without the bang? Boring... Luckily, only our last piece was compromised as it was the only emotionally-driven piece... But I still wished we could had ended in a more... explosive way...

The next night was our boy's night out to MOS... Salimin's birthday was coming soon and he had not went clubbing before, so there we were... I shall not go into details considering the different groups of friends that read this... All I can say is, "It was fun... very fun..."

After so many events, I was bored to tears the following day... And it was only the first week of June!!! I wonder how can I survive through the rest of the days before I start work... Always wanted holidays and am bored to death when I have it...

Things are only good when you can't have it...
