FIRE IN THE FENS!
Monday, March 27, 2006
Today i got a call from my excited roommate asking me to look out the window. I was "what stupid game are u playing?"
he was like "trust me u wanna see this"
Lo and behold, there was a bush fire near the river right across the road from where i lived. of course first thing to come out was my camera!...don't worry i'm ok..it was very contained. was kinda kewl cause all the fire trucks (not fire engines) came beeping down the road and helicopters were hovering above my building!

then at night when i though everything was ok, my room mate asks me to look out and again! and guess wat! another fire right next to where the previous one had been!....was like WAT! hehe pics pics....
i guess its rather uncanny that this week also happens to be fire drill week! haha..the whole school planned a series of fire drill for all the buildings this week and a real one happens across the road from us.
anyhow i did better expected in my ear training test.
dictation 90
sight singing 90
solfege 88
so after doing all the math its prolly gonna add up to 89.3! thats a B+...haiz...i was 0.2 points off from an A-..on the bright side, its prolly not a lost cause as i just need like a couple of As to pull my grade back up to an A...looks like i need to do more work!
UPDATE:
On the brighter side of things. I scored pretty well on arranging. Got a 98 for the written test which is an A and i'm really happy with my project scores too which i had to hand in a song (winter wonderland) which i arranged for 6 piece band. scored an A+ and my teacher wrote some pretty nice comments too!

I dont know if its the grade but i think i'm reallie starting to like arranging...i mean its always been one of my favourite things to do in music for skatz and also for some backing tracks i did back in singapore. i think i shd look into this avenue for my career possibly. what do u guys think?
