They say that YY's blogpost is like once in a blue moon.
SO today is a blue moon
Why isit a blue moon?
because i found miss leng ( mrs leng , correction) in the library,
idling time away, trying to beat me in blogging a significant post for the band.
But wahahaha, one thing that she does not know is that Mr YY is very amazing in his crap!
hmm, on second thoughts i think she knows.
Because she had interrupted, unfortunately, the flow of my crap from my distinguish typing on the computer.
Of course, as you may know, i'm sitting next to miss leng right now in the school library.
She thinks this is a competition, but i dont!
As im sitting next to her, i'm fully able to appreciate how miss leng blogs!
You see after every significant phrase ( significance to her is as significant as an ant to mother earth) , miss leng will push back her chair a few centimetres, give a wave of her hand , and a drastic flick of her hair to show her small accomplishment to moi.
Of course moi is unconcerned with this distraction,
but its vital for the band members to know miss leng's persective towards the word significance.
Now , i hope, after you read finish this post,
you will know why germaine is so emotional sometimes.
IF you still dont,
let me explain,
germaine thinks , feels , sleeps over it everyday,
this thinking that everyone of you is , are ,was ,were , significant to her at least once.
god bless,
the blue moon has sunk,
and YY is crawling back to his captive, when he is abnormal again,
and distracting germaine from her unreasonable movements after every significant sentenc.e.

Hello! Just doing a short blogging here.
As you all know, our dearest brass tutor, Mr Matthew Ong will no longer be teaching the brass section anymore. It is really quite a pity so the least we can do, is to remember his guidance and advice and work doubly hard.
It's really great to see improvement, but the problem is the improvement is just bit by bit. It is a slow progress. Can we all try to speed up our progress more? Do you want to be the one holding back the band? I doubt so. Please work hard. Look ahead. Only a few more months to endure and go through.
Let's clinch that gold and bring glory to our school. "Xinmin Symphonic Band- GOLD!" Very tempting right? Come on, let's just fork in our best effort so we will not regret in future.
All that I have said just comes to a point- Practice makes perfect.
NSL
