Today is the day for my Uncle's ROM. So cool!. First time there. I am the camera man ok! I steady steady, run here run there. The old man who did the talking very cool also. I took tonnes of pics loh. Somehow, my uncle has changed so many girlfriends, but finally settled down with this one. I think he made the right choice. A good heart. That is the most important.

After that, we went to Yong Chun Lou for a meal. Yes, this is the only meal that they are going to treat. 1 table. It doesn't need a big celebration for a couple to be happy in a marriage. As I see my uncle and his wife, I could see the togetherness. And after so much crisis my uncle went through, he could still find someone. Remarkable. He is charming, cool, and funny. Hmm how can those 3 attributes get together. haa. He has it.

I drank a bit haa. Just 1 cup only mah. Beer. Ah, shows how much I couldn't hold my liquor. Slightly blur but then shiok hee. Yup and I'm as red as a crab. Cannot hide one. Drink and become a crab. I need to train and practice drinking!! Anyone? haa. Wine appreciation. How I wonder there is this module in school.

Next, I was so angry with that stupid school. Darn. I shall not put the details here. I've already sent an email to my main instructor and hope to seek his help. I hate it when people doubt my integrity and professionalism. What a deep insult. Damn. This just shows how important it is to check what your friends are doing in the work place. They might just cause your downfall.

Night time, a secondary school gathering for all ex bandmembers.... but quite a few of people turned up.... perhaps 10? Its really nice to see my section leader/drum major. He is doing well as an officer in Air Force. So cool. There are a few people in my batch as well. I am surprised that a once notorious ah beng has become a nice and hardworking gentleman. People do change. Even if how bad they are in school, they can one day be in a good shape. He is working as a insuarance agent, or perhaps known as financial advisor.

Oh ya, we met at the top of a carpark where the area is for us to hold gatherings and functions. Not bad. Lots of jokes and chats. I'm just not used to meeting people that i haven't see for such a long time, I was quiet most of the time. Alot of Drum and band majors turned up, including me, and we are all now doing different things.

Its really cool to know that one of my percussion friend is aiming to major in music, percussion performance. He actually auditioned for Boston!!! amazing, but was not selected. However, he is going to Toronto. Amazing percussionist. I guess one of the best in Singapore. Free Lance for SSO too!.

Another guy, my co Band major during my batch. He become so dark and marcho. OMG. haaa am i normal to say those kind of things.... perhaps need to hear my tone before anyone can determine whether i'm normal or not. Can't believe he is single. He is a lady killer.

Westlake Military band.... once a legacy in 1990, Outdoor marching band specialist. All the Seniors are all so gunho and Steady. Young people nowaday will not be able to take the tough training. We had the best drill skills compared to all uniform groups. We had the highest spirits.

I had some regrets in there though.

Apologies to my eupho junior that I was incompetent to realise that his embrouchure was wrong at the beginning, and it caused him to suffer even until he graduates from the band.

Apologies to my co Band major as I was too eager to perform and took over the conducting of the band during my years as drum major.

Apologies to the school for dropping my maze 3 times during the National day performance where hundreds was watching (speech day was perfect).

Apologies to one of my teacher in charge where I wrote a letter to bomb him for not doing enough for the band. (amazingly, he became the best teacher incharge after that)

Apologies to all my bandmembers who endured my loud voice during drill sessions. I now know how loud sounds can terribly impact your hearing. I've gave up shouting.

Hey, while I was waiting for my friend in the MRT, I saw this poster " Are you Psychosis?" And it stated alot of questions regarding this thing. I qualify for some questions haaa, but I think i'm normal lah haa. Just some interesting thoughts that this kind of thing exist in the world haa.
