rummaging through old, long forgotten things can bring back funny memories.
just like a few minutes ago, i was rummaging through my old op bag and i found....
TREASURE! mwahahahahaa!
*pirate-ty cackle*
(wait, i thought only witches cackle...)
oh well.
haha.
anyway.
i still remembered the time siti suddenly had a flashback about varun asking us (shanad, siti and i-the three musketeers) to pen an essay citing why we didnt go for band and what we missed during our absence.
the weird part was that she had it during indoor combined while she was half asleep.
she just suddenly jolted out of her semi-consciousness and shook me asking, "hey! you remember last time varun.....blah blah blah."
mannn. and the amount of force she used to shake me...
not bad for a semi-conscious person.
i swore that was going to be the last time i sat beside her.
(nahhh, just kidding siti!)
anyway, she lugged up those memories about what we did when we were puny sec ones with no ranks yet.
she also wanted to try finding her essay just for memories sake.
funny thing is...
i found mine!
in my old op bag!
woo hoo!
that is my old op bag.
and my long lost essays.
and when i read through them, i ended up laughing like an ass.
seriously, i couldnt believe that i had the audacity to pen that and hand it to varun-THE DRUM MAJOR.
YES. the DRUM major.
not just any major you know, but, THE DRUM major.
the highest rank in any band with band majors coming in second in position.
haha!
and to prove what i just said, i shall now bang it all out and let you, my dear readers, see what a prat i was in sec one.
here goes...
"i didnt go for band not because i didnt want to, but because i did not have a choice. i was sick. sick with a flu, headache, fever and sore throat. this may seem incredible but its true. i also had to cancel an outing with my friends on a day when there was no band. i also didnt go for school. except for the food bazaar day, but the next day, my illnesses came back worse. one also cant punish me for no good reason for not coming to band. by not coming for band fully charged with bacteria, i was able to prevent more people from getting the dreaded illnesses that i am already having. i was protecting the people who sit around me during sec one combined, the band seniors, the band leaders but most importantly, i was protecting my sectionmates. so, of course, you see why i'm such a nice person. no no no, that is not crap. thats a fact. all that i've been ranting about are also facts, dont forget it! to prove that i have been sick, i am still infected by a bit of a cough. thats the remnant of whats left behind by the bacterial intrusion in my body. when i had the flu, i could not even buzz properly. the flu virus made me even more blur than i ususally am and i cant tell one note from the other because my vision was blurred. yes. thats exactly how bad it was for me. and i bet, if i were to buzz my trombone when i had the flu, when i empty my saliva key, mucus would come pouring out instead of saliva. once again, yes, thats how bad it was for me. if you were to ask me why siti and shanad didnt go for band. i have no idea. read their essays and you sure find out."...
phew! ok, lets stop here for a minute to catch our breaths now, shall we?
haha.
yes. my english was THAT bad.
yes. i know there is such thing called paragraphing.
yes. i was really sick.
and yes. i really wrote that.
now lets get back to the essay and find out what i missed during band.
..."i missed playing my trombone. thats really what i have been missing all these practices. even in my dreams i buzz. then i wake up in the morning in a puddle of saliva. (in my dream, the saliva key was busted) i also missed playing for the school in the open house event. i missed alot of practices and one sectional. but the worst of my missing was my trombone. i missed playing novena, shalom!, journey through shadowood and playing all the other pieces with the sec one band. i also missed playing in school. i missed going to the auditorium/studio/gallery/canteen for sec one combined. actually, do you want me to tell you what i missed during band or what i miss doing during band? well, i've said what i missed doing during band. now, just to be safe, i'll tell you what i missed during band. i didnt play novena, journey through shadowood, shalom! and all those other pieces that the sec one band normally or is going to play. i also didnt get to play my trombone during the time when i was sick. i also didnt go for the tk open house to perform with the band last saturday. a chance to play at the open house is not easy to come by that i know very well. then why didnt i come? you may ask. it is because i'm sick . really sick and down with such a bad sore throat that when i tried to clear my throat, i thought i tasted a bit of blood back down at my tonsils. needless to say, i was crushed when my parents didnt allow me to go because of the time when we thought that i was well and allowed me to go for the school bazaar but i came back with another fever, a headache and a runnynose overflowing with mucus. that was when they told me that i couldnt go out. at least, not until i was better."...
phew!!
ok, lets pause for a while here again.
for the second part of my letter, you may be suddenly overcome with a strong sense of deja vu.
haha.
okok, i repeated lots of stuff to make my letter seem longer.
hey! what was i supposed to do?!
the dude wanted 5 pages!
ok anyway, now for my conclusion.
this is probably the highlight of my letter...
..."so you see, what happened and why i didnt go for band and sectionals wasnt really my fault. yes, it was partially my fault for not taking vitamins last time. now i'm suffering for it and i missed out on so many practices. now, i'm feeling better (at least better than last time) except for that cough. and also please keep in mind that any punishment inflicted on me would be completely unfair treatment because i have absolutely no control on whether i fall sick or not."
o....k.
yeah, the end.
YES I WROTE THAT.
hmmm, little wonder why varun didnt make me run 100 rounds around the technical block or something.
but i seem to recall that he did make siti and shanad run about 5 rounds around the technical block.
only thing was, i wasnt included in the punishment.
hmmmmmmmmm...interesting.
anyway.
that just goes to show what a prat i was and to also showcase how poor my english was.
haha.
stress on the words "was".
but that aint the only thing i found hidden away in my bag.
i also found...
the lyrics to YMCA.
a hot favourite during the disco era.
and i have absolutely NO IDEA why i have them.
i also found...
my long long long long-asssumed-lost-forever-in-the-deepest-darkest-corner-n-my-room-where-nobody-has-ever-ventured-to-before....
...kickers cap.
haha!
theres so much treasure in my bag but only one thing stands out because of memories-the longwinded letter i wrote.
hahaha!
