Wednesday
Reached school at 9.30am (reporting time was at 9am btw) and started practicing all the way till 1pm. Had an hour break for lunch and we continued practicing. The seniors arranged a music piece that we had to perform on Thursday for Dr. Yeo. The song is called Lemon Tree and right now the song is stuck in my head. Practiced all the way till 6 and had an hour break. I think my Violin hates me for practicing the whole day because the E, D, and A strings gave me problems one after another. After that, everyone was tired and decided to play musical chair. I got kicked out after a few rounds, what a loser I know. Ended the day with some cam-whoring session.
Thursday
Reached school at 9.15 and started practicing Lemon Tree. Self practice followed by the ensemble practice. After lunch, Woon Fung was coaching us the first violin part. Celsius said that I was on mute channel because I didn’t talk at all. Haha I was really tired and my left shoulder and back were aching. Had to sit up straight and couldn’t slouch. At 8.30pm, we performed and it was pretty much atrocious. Don’t know why but the tempo was like bullet train. Was lost at some parts and waited before I came in playing again. Nevertheless, it was good effort because we only practice this piece for about 1 ½ days. Played truth or truth (forgot what it is called) and it was pretty much filled with laughter throughout. The questions that each of us asked was epic.
Friday
Reached at 9.15am and slacked till 10am and we headed to the TRCC lab for the managing workshop. I found some part of the workshop interesting and quite true. I always thought that I’m a weird girl by acting differently each time I’m with different group of people. I act differently with my family and friends. But, I’m not alone. There are other people who are like that too. In each of us, we have our own personal character and professional character. Hopefully this workshop will help me to gain more confidence in myself. I know myself well, and my confidence level is extremely low. I hate standing and talking in front of a large group. It makes me nervous, my mind goes blank and I can’t deliver my speech well. Each time they choose people to go up and present my heart beats extremely fast. There’s still a workshop on Monday. Oh, there’s still production, marketing and emceeing workshop to attend. Sigh. There was a performance for us to watch performed by Selena, Dr. Loke's friend. Wow she was simply mind-blowing when she performed 4 pieces. She performed solo at Singapore Symphony Orchestra before. Even though she was good, I couldn’t feel anything when she performed. I’m definitely not doubting her skills or anything, but I just couldn’t feel it. We played truth or truth again before heading to Causeway Point for dinner.
Ok, enough of talking. Time for pictures!

Glad that even though we couldn't have an overnight camp because we didn't have someone to look after us (lame shit), we managed to have a day camp. It was a good opportunity for bonding sessions and indeed, we grew stronger as an IG. If it wasn't for Ng Min, I either would have been kicked out, or I would have been in Viola instead of Violin. So thanks Ng Min, if you ever read this. Saviour, haha :)
Now I have to set my priorities right and start doing my profession profiling poster that is due by 7th October. Which means presentation. Oh my god I think it's gonna take 1 hour and they are going to bomb me with tons of questions because I'm doing on Apple. I'm such a smart-aleck. Oh dear. :(
