Flute 01


       I haven't been posting anything for 3 weeks or more and this blog seems to be getting dusty. *Cough*
                    This year, I joined the Boy's Brigade in my school. When I first joined the Boy's Brigade I tried the saxophone but there was not enough ligatures. I waited for it until last week. I decided to change to the flute. The flute I was given was labelled FL01.
       The flute is rather light compared to my Tenor saxophone. It is an aerophone unlike the other woodwind instruments in this brass band. 
       I can hardly make any sound with the flute. I hope practice makes perfect. It is such a nice instrument and I can blow through the mouthpiece bit by bit but when I attach it to the whole thing I get nervous when pressing the buttons and forget how to blow it. 
       I keep on whistling due to accidents but otherwise it sounds kind of nice if nothing goes wrong. I like my new instrument very much because I can finally try to play something in the band but I don't know much yet. I only know how to blow the flute(sometimes) and the first note. I only hope I will be able to be part of the band in the competition this year.

Modelling Clay Angry Birds

Image
Angry Birds is the most addictive game around recently. Now that my trial exam is over, I can have a short break and continue blogging. During the  days of examination, I do some revision during the night and head off to bed early. When I find some time in between the times I do revision, I quickly head off to my room and work out my project. According to the game, these 3 birds are the first 3 avian missiles in the group. As I am saving up clay for further "projects", I only made the small ones fingernail-size. It might look easy but for me the smaller I make it, the more challenging it is to create one. It also consumes a lot of time to make the smaller three. You see, some accident occurred and the yellow bird  eyebrows just didn't look that nice anymore. I am very upset that the yellow bird didn't look like just the way I wanted it. The black bird was rather an easy task because it wasn't too small but the main problem was its crest and beak. For the white b...

Beijing Summer Camp 2012

Image
This year’s Beijing Summer Camp held on the 17 th ~26 th of July in the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) was the greatest camp I’ve ever been to. When we arrived in the BFSU, it was already midnight so we just checked into our rooms but I was so excited that I didn’t get tired and decided to stay up for a little while longer.  Without noticing that the sun rises earlier in the summer, I stayed up until I thought morning had already begun. Some of my friends woke up too and we were totally restless so we decided to have a walk around the school. As soon as we got out of our dorms, we saw plenty of beautiful places like the canteen, the hall and even the field but there was no one else around as the others were still sleeping while some other campers had still not arrived at the BFSU yet. Well, everyday day was better than the last and I am speechless about this amazing camp.             This camp really taught...

My Dream Instrument

Image
Friday (21/08/09), we went shopping to buy something for the church camp in Kuantan which is going to be held on (29/o8/09). While shopping, we passed by a musical instruments shop. My mom wished I can play saxophone. There was a saxophone music class. The salesman said if I want to learn saxophone they wouldn't provide the instrument, so I must buy a saxophone for the class and it costs RM2100++. Wow! So expensive. My mom think I cannot carry and always train myself daily with the heavy saxophone so she thought about it and she also want me to grow bigger first. Why am I so short!?? I'm thinking how can I find a second-hand and cheaper saxophone then maybe my mom will let me learn the saxophone class.
