Ah yes, W-Hole productions finished filming part one of the Paratha Puff Girls trilogy on the first day of the raya holidays some three weeks ago. We did the filming in darrel's apartment where we spent the the afternoon playing with lego! Lego will be our main props in this video so we spent about two hours building completely random structures as can be seen in these snapshots. Oh and the trailer is out, check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvNXkNMouew
=PComments and feedback shall be very much appreciated.
After the raya holidays P&A night practice started on thursday with orchestra practice being held in the electone room. Why foo had to choose that room out of all the empty rooms available i have no idea but it stank like hell, but good thing practice was moved to the hall the following week. For the first few days i was able to attend chem headstart classes but then after that practice started at around nine so i totally missed chem...and mod maths so that now i have a lot to catch up on. Shit i am so screwed...
So practice went okay for the first two weeks, what we did was mostly receive new scores for the songs to be played and i was busy tabbing out basslines as foo only gave out s for mostly violin and piano. For Matsuri the bassline was easy as hell so i could figure it out just by hearing the song, but Setia had something kinda melodic and at first i had no bloody idea what to play as foo being the lazy bitch she was didnt bother giving me any bass notes so i eventually figured it out by looking at the electone player's left hand and playing what she was playing. xD Yeah this year's orchestra was so much different compared to last year, mainly because mr koh left and foo who didnt bother tabbing out the notes for all the intruments in the orchestra, while mr koh took the time to tab out the notes for EVERY SINGLE INSTRUMENT there was, so most of us had to improvise and got shouted at for not figuring things out quickly enough.
Anyway as i said earlier for the first two weeks practice was mostly okay, but things started getting nasty in the second week. Well for me anyway. :P Apparently being the bassist i'm supposed to be playing a very important role as i'm supposed to be supporting the entire orchestra, so every time something went wrong, i.e. the whole orchestra went too slowly or quickly that bitch would pin the blame on me. Like for example the school song. Like when foo's incompetent hearing told her that the whole thing went too slowly, she would say that i was dragging the entire orchestra down as everyone was supposed to be following me, but the thing is that i was following them. So then i played a little faster the next time, but then i was out of time as they were playing at roughly the same speed as before because, as i discovered, this orchestra doesn't follow the bassist's tempo. Which is why i do not see the point of adjusting my tempo if the whole orchestra is out of time. So then foo is like 'Shum what are you playing you're completely out of time!!!' So the next time i play slower and she's like 'yes this speed is good' and i'm like 'WTF this is exacly the same speed as what i played the last time!!!!' So this happened like over and over again. Lol.
Well anyway i had my fun pissing her off by idly fingering my bass whenever i felt like it. xDDDDDD My god you should see the way she smiles when she's talking to mrs chan. Really makes you feel like punching her in the face. And the way she quickly looks for a scapegoat when something supposedly goes wrong when she's entertaining somebody seemingly important. And the way she calls me when any 'technical problems' arise. Like i'm tech support or something. Our IB conducter, Ju Anne is so much better, such that i'm only really serious when she's conducting the orchestra. xD Kudos to her for getting student of the year.
Then there was Jobo's party, but you can read about that on other people's blogs. Oh and on the way back i saw a Lamborghini Gallardo. Yeap. Real fine piece of Italian engineering.

After the cultural village it was lunch, then off to the airport. When we got back a few of us had dinner at the curve. People there were richard, kok wai, don, joel, benjamin(4W), genna, wengyee, trixie, puiyi, melissa and myself. We ate at this pancake place whose name i cant remember, but the food was different(pancake based), but good. Gotta go back there to try out the rest of the stuff on the menu. xD

only view you'll be able to see of a Lambo you're tailingOn monday the form fours had a trip to Sabah, and we had to gather in school at an insane 3.30 a.m. We practically spent most of the trip in the bus as there was so much travelling to do. We stayed in two places, the Pines Resort, best two star hotel around, and Shangri-La(not the frachise one).

There were also a few stops at places selling cultural stuff and local food. And there was this photo stop at the bangunan yayasan sabah.
