Stuffs of July
Went for ls prep camp last mon and tues. Haiz regret not gng for scamp or union camp now! Anw it's not like I expected a lot from this camp, but oh well. Hmm I don't think the total number of people could form one og, maybe can squeeze out a small one haha. But anw it was ok la, I especially like to travel arnd NUS at night haha, be it night games or bathing. Like to explore the dark side of my schools (which reminds me, I haven had a camp in tj yet! Overnight camp I mean) but oh well it's too late! Ok enough talking abt regrets, anw I'm the only ogl for my og, which has 10 ppl as of now. Gotta go think of ice-breakers to last for 3 hours!! Gosh. Anw must try for scamp or uc next year, at least once before I grad! Hopefully doesn't clash with internship or anything I'm gng to have then.
Have loads of things to do before gng for the camp: matric fair stuffs and other guitar stuffs (gonna take up the bulk of time), module planning (time to think of how to have enough time to overload and study and get my desired cap, and balancing all my other commitments), practising cowbell cos the 15 jul gig is coming soon (hopefully can fix my rhythm, don't wanna ruin everyone's playing cos of my lousy playing; I do want to try percussions in the future), ls camp stuffs like designing the og logo, thinking of cheers and ice breakers, blah blah (this the first time I've come across a camp that require the ogls to do so much, and thrs only 1 ogl per og). Tbh I feel inadequately prepared for this, I don't wanna appear flustered and end up giving the freshies a bad experience. There doesn't seem to be enough time to do an identity too, haiz I'll see what comes along. Damn, I should stop regretting my decisions and just pull through until the next time I need to make a decision agn, then I'll consider carefully. And stop being so easily influenced!!! Argh I hate this trait of me. So easily influenced. Regretted so many things because of this. ARGH!!!!!!!
Anw, away from sad things, there're my instruments! <3 Progressed to slurs in violin lesson today, I think I'm doing ok so far, but still far from expectations cos the sounds I produce are horrible and I wouldn't really consider them music. But hey, my fingerings are more accurate without looking! ^^ The sound from my teacher's violin and my violin are really miles apart. Looking forward to having my professional violin one day (but that's gng to be expensive so not in the near future I guess). No violin lesson next week, thankfully, cos I'll just break camp on sat and prolly gng to guitar aftwards (should I go? But I'll be tired and din really prac a lot lol), so thrs prolly not much time for me to prac my violin too. Switching frequency to guitar, I think I need to prac more and start to train my muscle memory, especially for WC, since it's mostly chords. And then thr's the comm piece, whr I'll be playing bass. Zomg! Bass!! Haha sommore nid to down tune guitar. Prolly cannt sightread alrdy haha. Sevilla is still giving me headaches, must quickly resolve before other songs come, and juniors come in. Oh ho! Matric fair! Haha kinda looking forward to it. Looking forward to welcome tea too, hehe. But not looking forward to bidding lol. I hope I get my psych mods, if not I will fight till the end for them!!!
Ok, better start using my time wisely now. No time to lose!!
