Monday ohh Monday..

It's midnight as I woke up at 10pm. I was quite exhauseted mentally today and tried to sleep and relax my mind unfortunately I woke up again. Felt better but I wish I could sleep longer...

I cant believe Monday was just over and we are already on the 2nd weeks of our school.. Gosh everything moves faster. Last Sunday, we went out to watch football match down at the Pub, Manchester United vs Chelsea. There were Beth, Emily, Throwbrige, Flob, Lambert and mostly the new troops.. Very exciting match and Man U won the game..3 0.. HOw bizzare is that when I realised Man U played at Old Trafford in Manchester and I was there 2 weeks ago.... Small world isn't it? I just wish I could watch Man U vs Liverpool on the 14th March 2009. I'm still figuring out how can I make it possible to get the ticket and to travel 5 hours journey up n down. Hmmm

Monday oh Monday... Ahh great day today and extreamly busy. I could feel like I was running from cless to another as most of our classes are our 1st class. Aural class, I started with the new troops and we had Melody Dictation... THen after break I had Piano class with Cpl Thompson where she took video cam on her teaching.. Pressure pressure.... It was not to bad coz I just did as per normal class. I filled up for my Piano Exam practical ABRSM form today cost about 30 Pound.

After lunch, we had Wind Band class at the Concert Hall.... We practised marching music and new music was given, Les Miserables... I was quite late today coz I lost my Beret from the Wardroom.. eh macam2 saja.... Yatah lintang pukang ku ulehnya.... Mentally I was tired... trying to absorb every music given today.... Half way, I had to excuse my self coz I had Cornet lesson with Professor Yates.. Hmmm kepisan ehh... dari satu ke satu.. But I was just chilling out in his room... I am quite weak on my Cornet fingering especially on an octave higher as well as the notes with sharps and flats on them....

Break time, had a cup of tea..... Balum jua abis Tea ku,, break time was over.. Astah... What is going on with the time? Then aku jumpa Band master, Martin... time d bilik rehat. katanya, "Sir, would u like to join the choir class now?".... then I said, "I was not told by Cpl Thompson about it"...... Then he said on air, "Cpl Thompson, Lt Redzky is very keen to join Choir class today..." hmmm

Walked trudgingly to the Concert Hall... hmmm what a great Monday. Everyone from new and senior troops all stood up ready.. and WO Mc Gain Harding took over and taught us on Choir.As usual, I got Base voice group and I couldn't believe Miss Brook rambutnya yg paling pendek ah,, Soprano.. very Soprano..Everyone was amazed when we had vocal assesement together and that high Soprano voice came from somewhere in the group.. Sekalinya,, Miss Brooke... Unexpected... n funny. Everyone laughed and amazed at the same time... So we had our first Choir.. PANIS ANGELICUS....astah.. lagu church jua bunyinya.....and it's all written in Latin.

At the end of the class, I just chilled out in my music cell kebeliangan....I organised my stuff yg bejurit. Seeing my Piano, I was so tempted to practise as I have always enjoyed practising Piano, but..... I was just so tired. Then after that I set ready for tomorrow, which is enjoying the cold weather doing Parade... Great n just great.... It's going to be fun... I got Proffessor Douglas Piano lesson at 2pm.. and he is expecting me to play one music piece without any mistakes...Yes I am ready....Apa lagi... aku layan ja...

TIme no is quarter to 1 am... need to memorise some Cornet fingering before I sleep again...

Tomorrow, It will like a brand new day and a new person with new vision. I will wake up early in the morning with a smile, eat little breakfast, walk happily to the school 30 minutes early so that I can warm up my lips for my Cornet Parade. I will enjoy the Parade as well as the weather and the weather will be mild and less chilly with no wind. On my Piano class, I would perform my music without mistakes infront of Proff Douglas. And the rest of the day will be an enjoyable individual practise... HOw is that? Positive indeed? It's the LAW OF ATTRACTION...SO good nite everyone and SMILE...

2nd day of school

TOday 2nd day of school... And I am very exhausted dari 1st day udah. 1st day of school started on Tuesday and it's good to be back to see others. Other people grumble to be here and I was so semanagat as I believe 2009 will be a great year to excel in my music.

After school this afternoon, I was so exhausted and totally not in a mood. I met David at the wardroom and he invited me to go for New Year Music Concert at Guildhall tomorrow.. Hmmm THursday would be very busy day with Physical Training, Element Class and History class.... I accepted his invitation and I hope I would be fresh tomorrow....

Hall Porter called me saying that I got letters... I walked through my cabin while opening one of the letter. It was from Lily Chiam and I was quite shocked.... Her letter just boosted my energy up again for my music... WOw what a coincident! Lily Chiam is the greatest Brunei composer which I met last year and thank god I have found her. SHe is really inspiring. She is like and angel to my life.... WOw.. I kept on reading her letter again n again and few tips given... THanks Lily... U r a legend... Certainly I would take ur invitation to play along with u in the future...

Happy Birthday to Haliq, my sweet Brother who is now in Manchester... I wish U success and find something valuable in ur life..... I need to go to bed early today.... Kan bangun subuh ku esuk kan membaca music theoy.. betagar kali udah ... and also my Italian terms... kepisan eh... THis term I will start my melody and composing.... Takut ku ehh... My Piano practical exam is also coming maybe in March... WOw quite hactic..

Tadi I met one of the girl as school.. ind aku tau namanaya.. lovely, sweet and friendly girl.. She was menyusun lagu on the other block while others were practising at the concert hall... then I asked her why didn't she joined others.. She said she got transfered.... coz of her poor performance.... Hmmm I am just quite pressured!!! Demanding jua ahh ... Wow this school is really expecting an excellent standard... I better keep on my toes now.....Scary!!

Cpl Thompson sorted out new schedule this year for me... quite busy and I have new history class.... new Wind Band class... Really keep me busy this year.... Mudahan tah lancar semua.......As Lily Chiam advised...THE SECRET OF DISCIPLINE PRACTISE! I will remember that...and I also requested from Colour Sargeant Bean for Royal Navy uniform instead of my current uniform...SO sananglah kalau baju sampit or faded since I am here for 2 yrs.... Mudahan approved.... Lawa kali ah pakai white shirt, tie, black pants, woolie Pollie and cap.... tapi terpaksa tah mengilati kasut tu tiap hari... haha...

Portsmouth, Home Sweet Home

The time now is 0317H on Monday morning. Eventually I arrived in Portsmouth. The moment the train finally stopped at Portsmouth Harbour, I felt glad and I said " I'm home". Weather was cold when I walked with my heavy luggage to my Wardroom...... Once I got to my cabin... wahhhhhh!!!! Siuk ehhh rasanya. I am really home, feeling like home. Once I opened my cabin, my bed was clean and ready and everything was secured.

Nyaman rasanya balik arah rumah sendiri walaupun bukan rumah banar... SInce I got here, I feel very comfortable and nothing compare my cabin in Portsmouth. My cabin is just so spacious and warm. Right away unsecure my stuff, logged on internet, put on Nocturne music from Chopin while I am writing my blogspot. Nice music... not forgetting, concurently makan serunding given by Kak Zurin.

I guess it's not late to say Happy New year 2009 to everyone out there coz if I'm not mistaken the last time I updated my blog was on new years eve. Wow... today is 5th January, Monday.. Time has passed very quickly and so fast. Yesterday was Nona's Birthday and I managed to greet her on sms as well as through msn.

There's so many stories to update and I'm not going to write everything tonight coz I am just tired. Sunday morning after breakfast, I had to say goodbye to Manchester and took 5 hrs train to London. Then I spent few hours pempering myself exploring London then I took a train to Portmouth approximately 1 hr and 10 minute. Not bad...SO it was quite hectic and long journey from Manchester to London to Portsmouth.

So when looking back where I started from Manchester, with my luggages, cramp in a bus, reading 2x newspapers, dragging my luggages to bayswater, missed train, waited another hour and very freezing cold.. I am now feeling grateful to be back here again in my cabin feeling so warm and very comfortable.....

I shall update more stories later when I get up...... hmmmmmmm I guessed I had a great Christmas leave and I could feel it the moment I touched here. Great ending!! Good night everyone.
