.CHASING PAVEMENTS.: ipt band comp

i just came back from jb on thursday morning....
the ipt band comp or ipt wind orchestra was held in jb..at persada,johor..
sponsored by johor corporations..
from 2nd-3rd of december 2008..

okayh...basically..
all the rules and regulations...same saje mcm sbp wind orchestra..
and at first i was like..
"wow..cool...sbp pun ade orkes...ipt pun ade orkes...bleh join"
and of course akan ade lagi tahun2 akan datang..
this was the first time it was carried out..
pengarah tu kate...
"ceo-ceo pun ramai yg tau main alat musik..so why dont kite anjurkan ptandingan orkes for ipt students"

ukm mmg last minute pnye style..
a week after examination baru nk start berlatih..
means students sume dah pulang bercuti and ramai yg xnk join dah..
and yes...pihak pengurusan inform lambat sangat..
so...luckily i live in petaling jaya..haha!
we started our practice one week earlier..yes...hanye satu minggu utk berlatih..
and ukm main lagu "spain" by chick corea and arranged by jay bocook n "yang mana satu" by tan sri p.ramlee arranged by en.adzan..
"yang mana satu" mmg petik jari je..
but "spain"..errr....dunno how to describe the song..
jazz...catchy...lively...and hanye 2 minutes plus..
haha...mcm mane agaknye lagu tu ek?
kalo berminat nk dgr mcm mane lagu tu...pg cari sendiri ek..

truthfully...hanye satu minggu...mmg x cukup nk practice main lagu spain tu.
mostly student ukm yg join ptandingan ni...sme beginners je..
yg tatau basic ape2...and then trus main..
just know how to blow and notes...
dont know ape2 lagi articulation..intonation...+sigh+
but i'm proud of them for their semangat..
walaupun tatau main...gagahkan jugak nk main..
cool2x~
and merapatkn lagi the bond between chinese and malay..
bcos majority mmg chinese..one week together...we had lots of fun..yeay!

best nye ade band waktu cuti..meaning..
i got to spend more time with my syahir aizat!
yeay~~ before die balik cuti..
sangat best!
weekend msti luang masa dgn die..
maybe pegi somewhere watch movies or ape2..
jumaat,sabtu,ahad.....just for you sayang..~
muahxXxXxx~

kami gerak ke jb hari selasa..2nd of december..early in the morning...about 9am
aih...mcm biase laa...bdk2 band msti akan ad perasaan mcm..
"i'm proud to be in this band" haha!
okay..not all of them...but i do have feelings like that..
just like way back in seratas...aih..gila rindu zaman2 kat skolah..

the best part is..
smpi di jb...tried to call panda(ridzuan)..sbb nmpk a group of uitm students in the lobby..
and like...wow~~ he's coming towards me looking somewhat like..unbelievable ke ape..
dlm hati msti die mcm "btul ke alia ni?" =P
and dgn spontan nye nmpk juge syahid...and i called out for him..
yeay!!~
gmbire nye dpt jmpe kwn2~ esp panda...syahid da slalu jumpe..haha~
being section-mates with him for 3 years...n now he's my rival?
haha...damn2~
agak kagum dgn band uitm...sbb for sure diorng sume ade asas dlm musik and dpt memainkan lagu2 dgn baik..

okay..the competition was on the 3rd of december..
6 orchestra groups from 5 universities (uitm,ukm,utm,uum,upsi)
upsi sent 2 groups...one senior group and one junior group..

results=
1st - uitm = malay folklore symphony + declaration,ballade and final (a suit in one moment)
2nd - upsi senior = alvamar overture + gunung kinabalu
3rd - upsi junior = last to defend + itulah sayang

of course...they played very well...
uitm deserve the 1st place..
ukm main dgn teruk...ya lorr....x cukup org plak..
we'll try again next year!
tp still rase mase sbp wind orchestra lagi best..
i mean dari segi management...persembahan...quality... =)
miss those moments back in school...

abes pertandingan...terus pack our things..mau pulang suda..
b4 balik singgah danga bay dulu..
hehe...1st time pegi johor nihhh~~
okay..die mcm theme park ek??
amik piccies byk2,sewa beskal yg leh naik 2 org tu..then main bumper car..
so much fun!
just wished that i could go there with my dear syahir aizat..
=) mesti lagi best!
smpi ukm pukul 2 pagi...gila penat!
but it's worth it kan? =)
