tempo: moderato

its elections today. done something quite out of plan.

yesterday night, i had a msn conversation with snr yu tse. so i was just sharing with him my feelings abt elections, what happened during the last round of elections back in sec 3 (archived post, 17/08/05). and i also told him my decision of dropping my run today and he discussed with me abt it. cos of many factors la.

1. im a person who 要做就要做最好，不然不要做. so i felt there are better cadidates, so i thought it goes against my personality if i continue.

2. i dont want to overwhelm myself with too much committments and leave no time for myself. im lagging behind a little for the curriculum and i still have CenTaD project to look after. and my PW grp practically cant work without me (honest). and i still want to join the singapore photographic society and that means need to take time off for theory and practical sessions, and i also wanted to either pick up a percussion grade or a piano grade. with so many things in mind, 还是简单一点比较好...

3. more on the front, im afriad i cant take the stress of being qns tmr. cos i had the bad exp during interviews. cannot take stress of talking to masses 还当什么BM? actually not cannot speak to masses, i can, if only the mass is junior to me or that im an expert in the subject matter.

eventually, i went off to bed with my decision being more prone towards dropping than continuing the run.

then this morning, after trying many many many times, and trying many different conditions, my coin tosses say i shld run. then i was in a dilemma. until cindy sms me wishing me good luck and she supports me. then i told her abt my situation and she reminded me the results are not impt but having the guts to run is whats that count. its like, i suddenly rmb why i wanted to run for BM in the first place - i didnt want to repeat my mistake that i committed in sec 3. yep so i ran, but it was in the afternoon so i had to wait for quite some time.

i asked the treasurer candidates 'what does 1cent mean to you?' and got several interesting replies. of course chin sengs reply was like the coolest. outstanding. 'unlike the rest of the candidates, 1cent means nothing to me. but 1 cent means alot to the band' woh!!

andrea did well for the students conductor run. she conducted omens of love and it was challenging cos her part got time change one. ah, but she did well.

jh was first up for QM run and he was speaking quite emo-ly. and the QM post vote result tied twice b4 the uppers decide to have 3 QMs instead.

then i received an sms from edwin. thought he was going ot wish me luck or something. bah but it turns out that he was asking me for favour again =\ not like i mind but it was quite disappointing.

oh ya christal and i ran for BM as well.

haha then percs went crazy with the release of results. drum roll, timpani roll, cymbal crashes, cymbal rings, gong resonnace haha.. actually mallet players shld play the F# Bb roll thing on the mallets when the name is announced (its the tone for correct answers in those silly taiwanese game shows). but when i suggested to andrea she was like "你够了！=P"

andrea got the SC post and christal got the BM post. the rest, heck care cos they are not perc =P. well though i didnt get the BM post, im not moved emotionally at all. i was totally, oh right. at least i ran. and im SL again. actually i didnt really want to be SL. cos i always felt that christal is more competent for the post cos shes more knowledgable with perc stuff and join the external perc thing thing. ya this is partly the reason why i ran for BM. so in other words, i had not thought of plans for the section or whatever yet.

maybe the nine-men revolution =)
