HELLO

Whee. Haven't posted here in ages. Expect the obligatory words of wisdom now and then here for our dear percussionists, in lieu of my new post.

What drove me to post, I don't know. I just wonder how we're all getting along in life? It has been a while and I am missing alot of things. RIMB, you guys, my sec 4 class, even, well, my teachers! It's strange really.

When us sec 4s tell you all to treasure your time, we really really mean it. We mean it more than you can ever imagine. And I know you all are capable of alot of imagination. VALUE YOUR TIME IN RI! AN RIMB! And breed true manly love for each other. Keep the fire burning and be true men of substance! SIGH :/

Calling All Mallesians!!

omg quotes!

Jerald: ""snow caps" is THE cool!"
EDIT: it's 3 exclamation marks not one.

Dhruv: "What is "stupid" in german?"
Ben: "Schtupid"

*Eric making "RIMB" in the bean drum ocean drum! We need a picture of that! [HINT HINT NUDGE NUDGE]*

Mr Oura: "Maria help you hold lift door"
*points to Johnson*
Mr Oura: "He looks like Maria. Go help them count."
*Mr Oura counts in Maria-style while we stare at Dhruv xD*

Mr Oura: "Lucas, help him (Si Kai)."
Seriously though, nothing difficult about that triangle part. I have absolutely no idea how he made it into perc section.

Dhruv not being able to mute the last notes of the song. Sometimes you have to let out your laughter~ (but not during concert eep)

Jerald: "Benni i want to have your brain" (hmm pun?)

Jerald: "Are you British?" (in Brit accent)
Ben: "Isn't Kinchun British?"
*Kinchun shakes head*

Jerald: "Ahoy mates!... oh wait, that's Australian"

Free Lunch: 0 out of 3 Ah Puis attended.
Kenneth: "later the whole percussion no more food left"

Hmm... I dunno why people hate it so much when I mug their (mallet) scores. So a certain someone tries futilely to seek revenge...
Certain Person: "Where is your score?"
*walks past it, picks it up and tries to play it*
*doesn't sound correct to him*
*drops score and goes to store room while I laugh away*
Ben: "Kay good, time to mug his score"

Ben: "Bye Jerald!"
Jerald: "Bye!"
Myst Matthew: "He dao-ed me!"
*short while later*
Matthew: "Bye Ben!"
Ben: "Bye!"

Kinchun: "Remove the chairs and tables!"
Dhruv: "No, there'll be a conference later"

Kinchun wants me to replace my marimba fff perc soli with the snare drum one! But the marimba one is important too! Solution: play both at same time?

While a really really big map is loading...

(Not so) Alternate strokes


Our favourite QTS!

While waiting for dota to load...

Qn: What's the difference between a drumpad and a mousepad?

Ans: Hm. Good question.



Edit: and more of the same randomness. this time with paradiddles

Fantastic Final Friday!

Today's theme is "Dhruv and Jerald: Their Dark Side".

I wanted to dump all of today's quotes here, but a lot of it was forgotten due to excessive mugging of my mar-imba part.

*me plays strokes badly*
Jerald: "Ben is lipids, so he has a stroke"
*me showers everyone =P*

Dhruv: "Why do I see a snail?"

Some guy: "度如腑"

Wentao: "Wait till you catch up with my speed!"

Kinchun to Matthew: "Ben said he wanted me to chase you out!"

Ben: "What does TD stand for?"
Jerald: "Tambourine Drum"
Kinchun: "It's toms lah"
*flips to introduction page: TD = tenor drum*

Jerald pokes me (as usual), Dhruv rarely pokes me (but now he does), and all my years with Kinchun I've never remembered a poke from him... till today :O
Can't imagine Ferdian poking me.

I believe Jerald got up to #10 for his list. Forgot everything within it, waiting for someone to do it. *hint hint nudge nudge*

*Ferdian, Kinchun covering ears*
Kinchun: "Lets observe 3 mins of silence"
Kinchun, later: "I can hear which air-con is the loudest... *points to Jerald* ...that one's the loudest!"

Champion of instrument playing while sitting on floor contest: Jerald on mallets!


List of instruments we really need to replace:
1) Bass Drums
2) Snare Drums
3) Timpani Marimba Mallets

List of instruments that would be nice to get replacement (I'm tempted to close this section with "everything else", but I'll restrict myself):
1) Vibraphone Motor
2) Toms
3) Bongas
4) Some mallets
5) Many, maaany more

If only we could...

Woohoo Wacky Wednesday!

Dhruv + Kinchun = 2 out of don't-know-how-many percs there are that came early. I was surprised when I marched in so late, only to realise that two other sectionmates are here xD David Wang came O_O

Concert. Quote time!!!

Mr Oura: "One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six - Se...ven~"
Later, Mr Oura: "One - Two - Three - Four - Fi...ve"
Mr Oura: "One - Two - threeeeeeeeee *Spastically imitates that maestro guy (copyrighted Jerry) - Four"
Mr Oura: "That's why there are less ang mos in SSO~"
Mr Oura: "Wintercap (Snowcap)"

Kinchun: "My parents are not in Singapore (issit?)"
Some guy: "Ask Brain to sign"

David: "Sec 4s must stay back to take Sec 1s..."
*Dhruv counts himself out*

Time Machine! I'm a Sec 1, Jerald's a P6 (looking at his height, he sure is) and James is a university grad o.O lookie at his specs.

*David Wang makes his grand entrance*
Dhruv (?): "A mirage!"
David: "I came because I have nothing to do"

Kinchun: "Now, QTS with your left hand..."
Ben: "Oops."

Kinchun: "Where's Dhruv?"
*Ben points to piano"
Kinchun: "Oops."

*James and Dhruv stoning infront of mallets while playing that symphonic book*

Gershwin!
Jerry: "Gershlose"
Ben: "歌寻"

David or TL^2: "G6PD..."
Jerald: "Glucose-6..."
Matthew: "OKAY I DON'T NEED THE BIO HERE"

Jerald was being very pokey yesterday xD

RJ percs! Haven't really sat in for a chat for quite some time. Old nostalgic memories.... Jerald: "scandalous". I've no idea what's going on, but I don't think it's very good... lol...

Yuchen you said you'd come for extra prac on Thursday! Why didn't you. Promise breaker.

Can't think of anything else to post, so here goes a quote...
