THIS IS THE 40TH POST, how exciting (: I finally managaed to hack into the account anyway, actually with help from cryst's cool tag lol.

So inunion just over. We're officially rgssb perc'08.
LET'S ALL WORK HARD FOR NEXT YEAR ALRIGHT! GOGOGO SPERCKLE.

By the way, great job everyone at inunion! Thanks sam, shaowei, deborah for putting up with me while kimberley and cryst were away (in aust and in the zoo). I think we worked really hard for this yay.

To 2008 and beyond, peeps!

Love, Hillaryyyy

hello! haha i shall revive this blog! mehh this is my first time blogging on sPERCkle (((: whee today's section outing was very very fun! we have learnt several valuable lessons!

1. avoid S'pore S. School people on the rink AT ALL TIMES. 99% of the time, they make you fall (or feel like falling)!

2. avoid the pro skaters who twirl around also (esp the really young ones), because even though they won't crash into you, they make you feel zibei.

3. misuzu goes for older guys! *coughs HACKS coughs*

4. cryst has an odd habit of grabbing random people on the rink when she feels like falling down

5. do not fall down 1 hour after the ice has been resurfaced- your pants will be soaked like a sponge!

6. bring gloves (AND SOCKS) to iceskate! :D

ahaha yes that's it! hahaha (: did i say this before? nehmind, today was very very fun!

<3s

GUESS WHO :D

some people covering faces and running away

guess who.

Hello!

Farewell's over but... IT'S NOT GOODBYE FOREVER!

we're still meeting up to exchange notes and presents (though it'll be quite anti-climax).

Speaking of which, Roscoe Sperckle is still in good condition! (i dont think paries has seen him yet...)

cryst! I had tons of fun playing and blowing off your relightable candle. coolios.
samseah! ARE YOU RICH OR WHAT. geez. royce choc and白い恋人？！？！
and your batch item was sooo emo. (not to mention the background music)

Hillary! stop acting cool.

Kimblee! You must teach me canto one day. (yao mou gao chou? han jin beng? le gong me?)and i'll teach you gibberish. we can trade! HOHOHO.

We had a really wonderful farewell. A great big thank you to you guys!

Now that xian and I wont be joining you guys for practices and sectionals, make sure you guys dont lose discipline and continue to work hard kay! like..TIMING! and make sure your left hand doesnt become retarded and experience spasm! and manymanymany other important things, dont forget okay!

I'LL MISS YOU!

P.S. i'll be leaving mimi and momo there for some time...till you guys get your own sticks. please do get your own sticks.

till we meet again,

GO PERCUSSION! GO BATCH O8!

love,

misuzu

Hello (: Farewell's over and I guess I just wanted to say some stuff (before we exchange presents & notes).

Yup, first and foremost. Thanks for making our last concert good (: La Boheme was quite nice, so good job there!

Hm so you all are going to be all on your own now. Just wanted to say that thanks for giving us the chance to lead you all for the past two years. We might not have been the best seniors, but together as a section we've created waves, like nbc and of course, syf 07.

Work hard please! And make everything that comes your way good.

Won't say anything too much to each of you individually. Will leave that for your notes.

Good luck with band pracs and for the future. We'll be supporting all the way (:

All the best, percussion 08!

<3, pei xian

we love you peixian and misuzu! we would have been nothing without you two!
why did farewell have to come! ):

(we must have our section outing. MUST)

lots and lots and lots of love,
hillary!

I know it's been a long time since I last blogged, but that's partly cos I didn't manage to hack into the account this afternoon -_-

okay, as part of the plan to revive this blog, I will post pictures of our mashed-potato making session on the day of band bbq (or potluck) :D

Potato Peeling! (:

see, through this activity, we now know who the xiao-jies of the section are! -stares at misuzu and samantha-

Potato mashing!

vigorous potato mashing -_- actually, more like squeezing and taking out eyes from the potato.

Potato in wok!

okay, this part was..er. mostly done by my mum haha.

Nice smooth-looking potato :D :D

Completed Job (:

Misuzu looking really happy with the potato hahaha!

Section photo (it is actually with the potato but that got cut off)

Section photo (with the potato)

KAY , GO .... PRACTICE HARD LAH!!!!!!!

Note:

sec THREES

SLI rehearsal tomorrow. (12th Feb)

2:20pm

-su

hi perc.
i dont mean to be a 'party-pooper' or anything of that sort... to spoil your good moods or anything.
just a gentle reminder... (in view of what happened last thursday,)
juniors, please please set up before practice starts. so we'll have time to warm-up and stuff.
set-up includes moving instrus, putting sticks to where they're supposed to be and putting up scores on the stands for the respective instruments. i suppose you guys know this already and we dont have to repeat ourselves time and again.
inform either me or peixian if you're not coming for practice.
yup. be responsible!

and another thing...

this is so random but..... i guess we should treasure one another, and not take one another for granted.
the thing is, my buddy(from CO)'s junior just passed away today. (okay or rather yesterday since it's midnight already). I mean, it's so shocking, isn't it? like the junior's barely 14... so many dreams to fufil. dreams which probably include getting gwh for syf this year, with the entire orchestra...and as I console her, it just came to me, like what's gonna happen if one of us just goes away. it's not just the reallocation of parts. it's this sense of remorse and guilt when you come to think of what you should have done with her when she's still around.
so yes, the point is, we're one big family...dont take anyone for granted!(:

have a wonderful weekend!

su.

-too much stuff to say. so i'm posting instead of tagging. (:-

hey!!!!!! WE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!! kay enough about us missing you, I BET YOU MISSED US TOO RIGHT!??!?!
it was soooo quiet without you guys.
you dont know how busy we were okayyy. PEixian was on MC. -__- so i juggled my part, cryst's part and ran to the glock to sight read kimbarlee's part! 0_0

haha. PPP. dont ask me about recruitment drive cos I WAS supposed to be there to screen the sec ones BUT I had to go for DC because my class didnt off the electrical appliances 3 times. yup. Class DC. URGHGHHH. -bangs head against the wall.-
so... moral of the story: i'm sorry, dude. i can't tell you if there were any ambidextrous sec ones. haiz.

anyway, glad that you guys are back.
look forward to seeing you chaota poks on tues!
-su *runs off to chiong commonwealth essay*

hello perc :D

yay i bet misuzu, peixian and sammi missed us while we were happily away at obs risking our lives climbing high elements and going out to sea in kayaks!

how many perc will we be recruiting! btw, i think we should advertise for PPPs (Potential Pro Percussionists) like this:

Basic requirements to be a PPP:
1. Passion
2. Commitment
3. Sense of rhythm
4. Ambidextrous

Haha, how many can fulfil the 4th requirement! anyways, see you guys soon back at band on tuesday! you'll be seeing 3 totally barbequed things bringing the section to full strength!

(Hoho too much OBS)

Am I Dying?
No you're not!
That's me!
Squeeze Check! Pull Check! Instructor Check!
Dying!
Die on!

<3Hillary

Yup... guess what...

It's 2007! Happy new year, everyone! (:

Looking back on the year, I guess we went through quite a lot with cadenza and nbc.

Yep and we have quite alot to work on in the new year, especially with you all (sec 3s) taking over.

Heh jiayou and may 2007 be a year of GwH,and much happiness! :D
