band. plus tennis (7th and 8th lesson)

maybe i should change the title... call it tennis (7th and 8th lesson). plus band lols. like i totally didnt look like i was going band this morning. and coming home is even more dont need to say. let's see how a band member should come home looking like:

band member:
in proper school attire clutching her clarinet case in one hand while reflecting on what to do to improve on the instrumental skills. considers what her conductor says seriously and feels totally sad about it.

me:
in my class tee with shorts, hugging my tennis racquet plus wearing my sports shoes... feeling all hot, sweaty, thirsty, hungry, tired... thinking about when should my next next tennis lesson be. and a little accomplished about how she managed to piss her conductor off today and get away with it.

Part 1. Band
it was relatively ok. think i felt high. and my conductor came but good thing i only saw her for 2 hrs (i consider that a blessing) then we played some hymns. and well, there were two parts to the hymns. higher and lower part. so i just thought everyone play lower part, i mean she did told us last time (long time ago) that everyone should play the lower part. then apparently today she decided to change her screwed mind again :/ ho boy. the thing went like that,

she: why I never hear the other part? do you all have the other part
me: yuh.
she: who is playing it?
me: no one. it's the higher part
she: higher part then is first clarinet play lah. if you dont play then who is going to play. you dumb dumb.

ok so i played the thing then i couldn't really get it. i mean all along i've always played the lower part... then she sat next to me. and she places her hand on my lap. i was thinking "oh man, get your freaking hand off my leg!!" then i turn. whoa i saw her smiling. the smile was super eerie. thought i saw a living ghost next to me. quivered a little. i'm not use to her being like that. thank god i manage to play my part... so she moved away. then she decided to say me again.

she: you very dumb leh, higher part you dont play then who play?
me: but all along everyone has been playing the lower part what
she (quite shocked): you are the SL and you dare to talk to me like that?! that means all along you have been doing sectionals upside down. who tell you everyone play the lower part? very dumb leh!

okay. maybe i should have said something like "who else would tell me to do something stupid like that besides you" my jnr wanted to say it's her... but well, she didn't. i mean it's abnormal to say stuff like that to her so i guess i can understand her for not standing up for me. haha. okay i'm crapping here.

then there was a second blow when we played merry widow like she said "Play C. Play B." to the clarinets. so what do you do? play C play B right. lols. i did. and i got scolded stupid again :/ she said i'm playing first so suppose to play C play D. like how the fuck am i suppose to know she wants me to play C play D if she said to play C play B?? she should have just said play the next note on your score after C.

then after that went into band room. i pissed her off again cause she ask me when is band prac during camp, i told her "i dont think so." then she's like "you all so good dont need practise then want to perform ah?" so i just went like "go and ask the com members." i didn't sound exactly polite saying that.

yeah hahah then at the end of the band prac we thanked her and god-blessed-her as a formality. and she just say "dont bless me lah, you all play until like that" I felt like telling her in the face, you think i want to bless you?? nuts. haha. so that marks the end of another band prac. and well, something happen but not of much relevance to me.

and she's crazy. she wants everyone to bring home instruments. there are no lockers at ycktc so like am i suppose to bring my clarinet to the tennis courts and roast it under the sun?! or just leave it in the shade (which is at least 100m away and i cant see it from where i am because of all the netting) and if it gets thrown away by people it's not my business since you wanted me to bring home the clarinet. should have just did that and let her have heart seizure.

haha and what am i suppose to reflect on? like how dumb a person i am? lols. i dont give a crap about band no more. but i still care about how nasty she is as a person. sigh, i hope thurs wont be dreadful.

Part 2. Tennis
more more more more backhands. like started with each person one hopper. which is quite a lot of balls. i think 50. but i think i felt pretty ok after that. then we play in groups. then after that we did some kind of drill thing. i can imagine the lady looking at the camera thinking we're wierd when we did the drill with no balls. i mean we're just running and swinging the racquet o_O ok it's not exactly embarrassing, but it feels awfully wierd cause you run after nothing and swing the racquet at nothing again. just makes you feel empty. well, of cos we did the drill with balls after that. think that drill sort of helped. then we played each person one hopper again. the second time was just extremely tiring. like i feel all the adrenaline rushing and all the heat on my face. think my face was red. haha. and i think i perspired a lot in that already very good weather. thank god, it's good weather... cant imagine if the weather is awfully sunny. (well, at least it's "hot" sweat. you get to sweat in band too. just that it's cold sweat...) ok but i think the coach was like the most tired among us. haha. like play non-stop for about 2 hrs plus receiving our funny balls at times, haha. i thought today was pretty intense. but he said next lesson will be intensive. actually i can imagine. like both forehand and backhand comes together. you'll run left and right of the court la. haha. simple. and maybe volley.

saw the little boy again and the coach commented that he's good. haha he has tennis lessons everyday for 2 hours i think. obviously he's good. and he's cute too. think the boy's parents earn big bucks.. like everyday they have to pay about 90 dollars. and the boy is so free. like everyday just play tennis. haha what do u expect from a 5-yr-old. but i never had that kind of life. all i had was piano lessons which i didnt enjoy and abacus lesson which is a total bore...

mime act. lols
when she scolds you, stretch out you hand. grab the scoldings put it in your ear. then pull it out from the other side and throw it back at her.
