98/99 njcsband major calling out...

Knew about the concert quite sometime ago... but thought it was still early, until it crossed my mind again last night while conversing with giam and tock.

1:38:12 AM tOck

1:38:29 AM La Vita e Una FavoLa

1:42:57 AM La Vita e Una FavoLa

in the midst of our conversation, in another window...

1:47:48 AM giam

1:50:21 AM giam
my friend is playing with the mainband ... i told him to organise
1:50:35 AM giam
he say no one wants to do it...so no alumni band

then news passed to tock... who isnt much interested in organising any than me.

1:52:32 AM La Vita e Una FavoLa
eh! this yr no alumni band!
1:53:21 AM tOck
Eh, why leh? The band wants to play 4 hours straight?
1:53:38 AM La Vita e Una FavoLa
giam says nobody start lor
1:53:50 AM La Vita e Una FavoLa

1:53:51 AM tOck
EEK EEK EEK Whatever happened to the "elderly"?
1:54:06 AM tOck
I mean the seniors
1:54:08 AM La Vita e Una FavoLa
maybe all too busy...or too scared already
1:54:29 AM tOck
I go organize outing, makan, and go China Square eat smell beancurd...ok

Point is... i donno... though i think i lost the ability to play the horn totally... but it feels weird not to have any alumni band in etude.. really weird... i still remember when i was in term, there was the "elderly" (forgot which year) who will alwiz call to ask when they can come down for alumni pract on saturdays. and mr ho had been alwiz telling us this senior 1975.. that senior 1988.... and now i think i should be labelled senior 1999.

well... i donno....
it gives me a very very very strange feeling...
which links back to what mr ho had mentioned to me while chatting during SYF in may earlier this year.
just weird...

anyway!
my ultimate point is not to organise alumni...
but to call out to all my mates to GO FOR ETUDE!
i noe alot of u out there are looking @ this now and YAH u know what to do!
SMS, EMAIL, DROP ME A COMMENT, DIAL my NUMBER (or even LOOK me up in YJ)!
I'll help order the tickets! =)

LETS GO!!! (and terrorise mrs lim... hee..her "don't eat biscuits!" suddenly rang in my mind again)
all in all, I'm going definitely!!
