Yesterday's soccer match between NYP and NUS was a great showdown. NYP was able to continue its path towards the Finals, probably againsting either ITE or SP. An interesting match with Juraimie, who returned back to the team after a car accident. The newspapers of 'Football Weekly' wrote that he's the one who creates counter attacks for the team, which is essential for the team's success. Anyway, the first goal was a short range shot and the second goal was a terrific goal. The striker whacked the ball and the ball curled, over the goalie and into the net. The goalie was helpless after all as he tried to jump to punch it away but fail to do so. The thired came from Zulfadli, as he ran to the flank and whacked it, putting the ball into the net. The final score was 3-0, which I would say, NYP students would be watching the Finals no matter what. Hahaha...

Back to today's activities, I was late for Band and I end up rushing to Henderson Secondary by train and bus. I was more puzzled when I saw some Canberrians taking the train towards Jurong. I mean... the school should be in Sembawang and not Jurong, are they sure where they are going? I didnt bother to ask them but just do my own stuff during the journey. Well, I reached Henderson Secondary around 8.35am. I asked the security guard, 'Excuse me, do you know where's Canberra Secondary School Band??' All the guard did was pointing his fingers into the school and said 'Oh!!! Band Band!!' Diao... I feel like banging my head instead of going to Band first.

I reached to the right classroom and soon, the whole lot went to the air conditioned hall to play our set pieces. Canberra's Band was pronouced as "Can-Bea-Ra" instead of "Can-Ber-Re" Something wrong with their tongues?? Hmm... The school band was quite alright with their play but once Henderson played their 'Flight of Valour', my heart sank. A big difference in our style of play compared to them. Haix... We went back to school and packed our stuff while in my mind, I was still having the after effects of the Band Exchange. I was tired but keep thinking what the Band members are thinking.

Before they left, I told them my comments about the exchange like this:

"Band, before you go, I would like to tell you guys about how I feel about the exchange and our play. If you think we played well, then it will be well. If you think we are not playing that good, then we are not good. If you think you can put in extra effort on the piece, you can choose to stay back afterwards to practise. If you think you have done your best, then you can choose to go back home and rest. Compared to the rest of the Bands today, you should know where are we."

Alright, that wasnt sound like a comment. It was considered as 'no comment'. Haha... Once everyone left, Fikri started to talk to his section. His voice was loud, which I asked him to control, and he started to throw the music stand on the floor, which I told him I could do better than him with that two actions and asked him to control himself. Ending up Nizam was shouting at Fikri and Fikri shouting at his members. I decided to do the talking to the clarinet players and ask Nizam to 'Shut the hell up', since he's creating a scene. Anyway, things are solved now and seems like people are hating the way I treated things. Maybe they think I was siding Fikri after all. Yeah... I'm... but I would still side those who I think they should be protected.

Its not that I disrespect my juniors. If I do, then the clarinet players wont be going back home by now. They should be playing their instrument till 4.30pm. I'm not demanding much but just a better quality of display and music. If this 2 objectives failed, what's the point of participating SYF??!! If you have any unhappiness against me, tell me in my face. I dont mind at all since humans mend to make mistakes. If leaders of the Band thinks that I was too much, well, think again. If you guys are able to control your mates to be more discipline, things wont be like this and I wont need to interfere. You can complain to Ms Pan if you want to, I dont mind.

Haha... Everytime when you blame someone, think if you did something that is right or wrong that lead to the person's actions. I'm not the one who should be hurt but I promised to help the Band no matter what, to make sure that they do get something for SYF. The Band shouldnt be despise by others, that's why, I would be the 'law and order' judge if leaders cant do their jobs properly. With that, I'm back to take my nap...
