LOL. so i dunno to happie or sad. coz i realli wan get gold. den b4 syf dat period. i was actually coachin de whole of brass section. put in alot loads of effort. den on syf tt dae. i sucked at my solo. i cant hit my note. den i damn fustrated.=C shagged tt whole day. den wen de announcements come=) we got gold. i mean we were ecstatsicc=). was glad. happie. i cant cry now. coz i was too happie. and xtc come and congratulate me=)). thanks man. so we stepped down as dmn band. but entered alumni dmn band. and music seems to cease. but is ok. de lung puncture tell me to rest. after 9 yrs of tpet? so though thingys are diff now. i will nvr forget de fun and anerix and yip.cal.ren. nvr to be forgotten. so wen i m well enuff. mabbi i will get back to de music world agn.
