Why doesn't anyone blog anymore! This is ultimately depressing. I am depressed. Zzz. Okay I will spam nice things to un-tombifying this place! :D


This is not porn, this is classy art that attempts to er. I have no idea what it wants to portray. The naked beauty of music? Whatever, it's a pretty sketch anyhow (:


Sai this one's uber cool can. Photog manipulation hur.


No need to say la my favorite. I think I'm addicted to arabesque things. And it's so gorgeous how you can't make out the violin exactly but the feel is so pervasively there. Yay. If you get what I mean.

Okay I'm so bored Kevin could we please organize fun things? (NOT LAN) (: (Hint: You can always start by changing the blog password! La.)

Helen.

Okay this is probably totally not worth putting on the blog proper, but YIBING! I just realized today you could've gotten BASS for your Promo results! Seh how cool is that! :D (Um except the 2 S's would be a little sad la.)

Since I'm at it - might as well spam strings jokes too! Hang on.

Why do violists stand for long periods outside people's houses?
They can't find the key and they don't know when to come in.

What do a cello and a lawsuit have in common?
Everyone is happy when the case is closed.

What is the range of a cello?
As far as you can kick it.

Why is viola called "bratsche" in Germany?
Because that's the sound it makes when you sit down on it.

Did you hear about the violist who played in tune?
Neither did I.

Why are viola jokes so short?
So cellists can understand them.

Why is a cellist like a SCUD missile?
Both are offensive and inaccurate.

How do you get a cellist to play fortissimo?
Write "pp, espressivo"

What's the difference between a washing machine and a violist?
Vibrato.

Sian they have like. No evil violin jokes. Zzz.

Lol okay [/lame entry].

Hey I'm not sure if people know about this but council's organizing

SCREAM!

this year - 27 Oct 2006 - it's like a Halloween party thingus. In school. Starts at 7pm. So I was thinking maybe we could go as a CCA after our Friday prac? Cause they have this Haunted Trail thing which you can go in groups - and it'd be lovely to hear the guys scream in horror, shriek in terror, act like total wimps etc etc. (:

And maybe we can dress up as goths and go round stabbing people with bows (I think the the cello ones too stubby blunt and lousy liao). Anyway must support council la - they've been tanking so much by organizing all this stuff for us :)

Yay okay okay so must go.

-Helen ^^

haha, open house just gets me so high!!!

ok, early in the morning at 7 o'clock, we met in the strings room. wah, everything was ready by 8 plus, with a little bit of hiccups with the videos. kudos to zhuni and yibing, for lugging their laptops to school. without their help, i think i will probably make a break for the fish tank com le. the decor for the booth was very nice!!!

first thing is the school decor in general. the council did a great job in netting the balloons over the stratosphere of the school, giving a feeling of skyscrapers. then next is the banners fight. still remembered that the initial rule was 2m by 1m, but somehow everything ballooned in size. so it was actually a competition for size. i guess this is so much better, coz it makes the school environment so much more vibrant.

ok, the juniors who came were not a lot la. not like it was overwhelming. then we performed!!! yay!!! we rawk sia!!! although it was quite soft initially, the second one was good. nice to see the chinese high juniors come over to lend their support. especially heartening to see that many of them are actually willing to carry on in strings when they come to hc.

with much effort, we are able to give away all of our flyers and our gifts. haha, many of them landed in the hands of the participants more than the juniors. but in any case, it was an eye opener for me, and i learnt how to make use of my freaking mouth to actually intimidate juniors into taking the stuffs from me. ok, maybe they were just irritated. but in any case, i also took up the job of a tour guide, and i thought it was actually very interesting. the best part of the whole tour was actually to show them to the fish tank. hee, they love it leh!!!!

yay do get the photos from baohe!!!

YANMIN!!!!
Open house committee budding member. weee!!! looking forward to strings orientation. would love to see my juniors.
