This is going to be a long post..

some people to thank. People who really helped everyone. People who are so 主动，任劳任怨，积极地帮大家。Like Weisiong, Song Wee,每次都是他们拿最多东西，他们一直在帮我拉，帮我抬那个大double bass case..真的感激他们。
另外一个我要谢的人： Mr Khoo. 虽然很多人都认为他做的不够多，不够好， 但我觉得他的工作实在不容易，管这么多人，还有那个Mimi to entertain. 我觉得虽然before the trip, he nv do anything much, but since the first day of the trip, 他已经很尽责了。至少对我很好，让我说已经比他要做的多了。Before the trip, 我已经给他很多麻烦了，一直烦他regarding my case, 现在他还天天帮我。Always carrying my instru for me, yesterday even kept it in his room instead of mine cos he think my room got no space. Wow. I feel very bad, keep making him do things, usually i'll nv let a teacher carry my instru for me, some hierarchy prob, but now he's so 主动，i just let him..

还有Yee Shen, so 乐观，on task, really 佩服。 Teng Kok also, for keeping Mimi happy for all of us, and entertaining us in the mean time. Haha. Jacinth and Siew for their family support. Everyone else for making me laugh and enjoy myself so much.

OK, on to the trip. Went Royal Military Music School today. They are really good, professional, neat, smart, together.. Their marching was almost flawless. And maybe I'm suaku, but it's the first time I see marching band prac, so first time seeing the 谱架stuck somewhere on their arms or on the instru.. so fascinated.
We totally maluated ourselves, saxes completely out of tune throughout. Festival March was a disaster when that sop sax sight read out-of-tunely through that soft part. Gosh, I was smiling throughout, laughing at our own mistakes, wishing the saxes will just stop playing.. But I wasn't too much better off, my Merry Widow was sharp as usual and i really need to work on my uneven notes in Inn of Sixth Happiness. The only OK piece was Happy Ending. They must think Singapore bands suck big time..

Really sth wrong with the Europe's working system. Their efficiency especially. Spent 1hr + in Heathrow Airport trying to check in. Just standing there and waiting for that one woman to key everything in, print all the boarding passes, and give them back to us took almost 2 hrs. Ended up delaying the whole flight. Rushed from check in area to plane. Guess they didn't have time to load the luggages. 31 pieces were missing. That's more than 1/2 the band's luggage. Oh yeah, Jacinth finally received her bag. What an irony. BMI is really CMI (can't make it).

Anyway, this is another chance to see who really keep the band together. Mimi made herself so useful, by irritating everyone, stocktaking by counting every instrument instead of simply by sections. Confused herself, exasperated everyone around her trying to help her. Even insulted my instru and my name. I believe Ms Tan will do a lot better in situations like this. At least she'll make herself useful in other ways..

About London
very prosperous. Normal buildings rather boring, but important buildings are really spetacular. Beautiful. Wished we spent longer there. Rather dirty/ misty/ cloudy though. Cold feeling. A lot of vandalism around. I loved the cabs. Nice shape

Was hyper today, laughed so much but no such energy and mood now.

Paris: finally driving on the wrong side of the road. Dunno why, but I've been noticing all the Metro signs. =) Looks even more 繁荣than London, I think.
