My trip to Australia was really the best thing that had ever happened in my life...
I took leave from school for ten days and went there with my mum and sis. We went there for my sister-in-law's cousin's wedding. The first Sunday was the engagement and the next Saturday was the marriage itself so we stayed for quite a long time.. The flight was kul! Me, mum and sis went with my sister-in-law's aunts...
The plane..
We were the last people to board the plane but the journey was so perfect... We ate undescribable food (too delicious to describe), we saw the sun set in the sky...., I listened to loads of my favourite songs on the radio..., I watched cheaper by the dozen on the small t.v. in front of me..., I watched the making of The Lord of the Rings- The Two Towers twice, and much much more....
The plane journey was not all that was perfect. The whole holiday was... Let me just summarise the days coz this post won't end if I don't...
We stayed at my sister-in-law's aunt's bungalow (Aunty Fayeezah). .. Everything was so perfect... It was cool there (the weather) . Me, mum and sis had a room to ourself. It was their guest room. When I entered their house I was traumatized... Never seen such a nice house before.... I love! I just LOVE IT!!!
Let me get on with the wonderful things that I bought there...
I bought a lot of things... I bought a sweater, a track suit, a denim coat, a mini version of gollum.. not really mini ahz but still smaller than gollum. he talks if u pressa button.. hehez... I bought a Lord of the Rings saving bank, a Harry Potter fulscap, Harry Potter files,Harry Potter pencil box, Harry Potter excercise book, Harry Potter stickers, a Legolas poster and much much more....!!! I went crazy there.. The shopping centres had loads of Harry Potter and The lord of the Rings' stuffs!!!
The fantastic things that I cannot forget...
Koala Bears!!!! Kanggaroos!!!!! Sydney Harbour along with the bridge!!! The birds from Finding Nemo that went "mine, mine, mine..."!!! Lasagne!!! Western Food!!! Doughnuts, doughnuts and doughnuts!!! Shopping Centres!!! more more more more...........
The best...
*I made friends with this cute lil' nine year-old kid who is the daughter of aunty fayeezah's friend. She was the flowergirl of the wedding. Met her at Hikmah's engagement. She was so cool. My sis pointed her out to me and it was my sis who was close to her first but she got closer to me during the wedding. We spent most of the time together. She taught me incy wincy spider with hand actions... She's just so sweet... Her name's Anisa... She'll grow up to be very pretty just like her sis, Camelia.... Anisa wasn't the only one I made friends with... I made friends with other kids too... Nicola, Amelia, Farhana and more.... Very cool and unique people all of 'em....
*The day before the wedding was fun. Loads of people came down to the school hall where the wedding was gonna be to help including me, mum and sis. We helped as much as we could but we were not tired at all because it was too fun to feel tired...
*The wedding was the main event of the holiday.. I enjoyed myself like crazy.. I danced at the dance floor with sis and Anisa though I don't think I dance. I basically did some stupid swaying movement most of the time and the rest of the time I was clapping ... I was too paise to dance....

Throughout the holiday I was enjoying myself... Everything ended too soon. But my friends were very glad to see me and I was glad to see them too when I returned to school. Syazwana, one of my best friends, came running to me shouting DAYANA!! when she saww me... She was reali reali cute... I bought them some gifts and I'm happy they liked it<> but it was a few months back so now I have moved on... watevalahz....
Oh! And by the way, I was so jakun at everything that, mostly because of me, there are 9-10 photo albums of the holiday... hehez.....

Band is getting more stressful and sressful. It's like taking over school! There are three performances coming up and the first one is this saturday! I am happy but I am stressed! There are too much things to do! I have to sort out the files, figure out the pieces, clean the instruments and practice the songs!
I am really really excited but yet nervous... I am not a confident person but I force myself... I'll force myself to be really confident that I will play nonsense! Maybe it is not because I am overconfident, maybe it's because I am too nervous...
I've made loads and loads of mistakes in band and some of them are.....
1>(2003) I dropped a crash cymbal!!! It made a very loud clang on the floor and guess what?! It happened when the whole band was playing!!! It happened in the middle of a happening song!!! My conductor was not happy at all
Reason/Excuse=> I was a junior. It was my first year... Everyone makes mistakes It was also partly because I was playing two instruments and had to switch immediately after I play the other....

2>(2004) I played the base drum wrongly during a parade rehearsal. I think the whole world heard me! It was so embarrassing!!! I was supposed to give a double beat but I stopped halfway thinking I was correct! I knew everyone was dissappointed esp. my percussion senior. I was dissappointed too! It was supposed to be grand but it turned out STUPID!
What happened next=> They restarted the parade because of the rain and I did my best. I think it was much better because there wasn't any stupid mistakes....

3>(2004) I played the crash cymbal on the wrong beat. I was so confident when I played that I felt like slapping myself! I was counting nervously and the same thing happens when I play nervously.... MISTAKES! My conductor probably hates me... I don't think he trusts me in playing properly for the upcoming performance this saturday. Not to blame him but I just feel so... I donno if u understand me but nvm lahz...
Reasons/Excuse=> My juniors were around and I was nervous and wanted to set a good example but I sucked!.... Give it up dyna!

Best Moments in Band...

I played a solo for the song Let's Get Loud by J.lo... It was quite short but still fun and nice and cool...!!! I didn't make mistakes, that's the main reason why it is one of my best moments...
I played the drumset for this nice song... But I know I couldn't have done it as well if my senior was not there.. He was guiding me throughout the whole song... Thank you so much....!!!!

I'm in my school's band and I'm a percussionist. Loving music like crazy made me choose it as my CCA. I have always attended teh practices and all if I could and would regret it if I could not... When, I went to Australia, I missed about 4 or more practices but I never stopped tapping my hands or fingers on anything that could make sound. I never realised I love band that much until I was made section leader.....
I am only Sec. 2 and am utterly shocked at being the section leader. I am really afraid of letting my conductor's faith in me down. I dare not think of it if he is dissapointed. I'll be really sad but inside me, I have a very strong desire to be a good section leader... I hope I can do it... I hope I can lead my fellow percussionists well...
can i do it?.....
or can't i?....
hehe....

10:40 AM

My dumb comp. got virus..... Very irritating man!!! Now I donno what to do at home... I only laze around and eat and eat. Gonna become a sumo soon.... hehe... I cannot make up my mind on what I want to do these days... I have few important things to do but never tend to use up my free time doing it... I've got to clean up my room and do some organizing, I've got to paste up my posters of lotr and harry potter to finally meke my new room actually look like mine...., and I've got to update on my schoolwork.... I haven't quite done it since I came back from Australia. I'll tell you about it..... later.... after a few more postings.... It was the most pleasant moment of my life.... The furthest place I've ever been, away from stress and away from home..... And the best of all, away from SCHOOL!!!
