◔ 5:28 PM // ✎ 0 comment(s)		❝ Day of Firsts :) ❞

And once again I drop by to do a simple post on my not-so-interesting life.

Today was a day of firsts. Wonderful day of firsts I'd say.
1) I played percussion for the first time today.
Together with Mingjie, Xavier and Elroy, I was transferred to the Percussion section! We called it "volunteering our services to the percussion section". It was really fun - learning something new and feeling that drive, that rush to work hard and perfect the art of playing the instrument well. My arms and fingers hurt afterwards and I realized how it isn't all that easy being in Percussion. You have to keep your own rhythm while the band is playing something else at the same time. On the plus side, we got praised by FTan! (It may have been sarcasm though cause I was at the back of the band room and I couldn't hear clearly / see his facial expressions) but yes. He said "you all don't sound like you're playing percussion for the first time". And everyone else said we were not bad :)
2) Today was the first time I got allocated to something that was some-what a solo.
It is an accompaniment though so it's ~not counted~. For WISH! Just the chords on the marimba. It's just cause every percussion instrument is a solo instrument anyway. I hope I don't screw up :(
3) Took the first set of data for my Geography EE!
It was really fun I guess but extremely time consuming. Sigh. And it's raining now I wanna go out and get data since I actually have some time this weekend.
4) Did my first assessed IA.
It was a bitch. I'm so mentally drained right now all thanks to it ): screw you, IB.

Like Xavier said today that he'd rather move to percussion permanently cause at least what one plays is heard unlike flute, where we practise like fuck for the running notes and what not and in the end we cannot be heard. I guess it's true and it made me really think. THINK. About whether I want to transfer to percussion permanently. The percussion is a fun section and like... But. I don't know T____T right now though, I will fully enjoy myself during this stint I have with the Percussion section :)

In other news, Beach Cleaning tomorrow :D

Time and again I tell myself that no, I don't like you anymore. And time and again I get affected by you, even if it's the slightest stuff.

It's so warm and humid now and my legs are hurting :(
