Hi guys, i shall take a break off writing the VEXCO Meeting Minutes which currently consists of three k words.
Today we had our harmonica lesson for our NYAA (Silver)
The ventures present were:
Chee Yeow
Zaki
Yan Wei
Zhi Xuan
De Hong
Wee Kien
Hao Qin
Jeremy
Shi De
Apparently our dear Venture Chairman forgot to call the ventures and inform them about the harmonica lesson, as a result ninety percent of the batch did not bring our harmonica. Or ninety-nine if you don't count Shi De as one.
So we ended up having to share harmonica which is rather...
sick.
The session ended off with a test, which requires us to play the song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", and "Oh Susanna"
Yanwei now continues the epic story of (a portion of) the batch of 01-2005 in their harmoc lesson :
Meanwhile, we also played the Twinkle Twinkle with the slider which helps us play a seperate range of notes which are called sharp notes. You know those black keys on the white keys on the piano? Something like that. As some of the slider notes are actually the same as some of the normal notes, we had to replace the normal notes with slider notes so we could get more used to using the slider.
Anyway we took the test and we passed.
But now, for the more interesting story of harmoc lesson (there's always interesting stories), it is an extremely unfair and unjust deal between Shide and myself. Yes. Extreeeemeeeelyy unfair.
Remember how the Jew loanshark wanted a pound of flesh in that whaddayacalltat Shakespear play? This is just a modernised version of the story where the price is much more cruel than just a pound of flesh.
As you all may have read, most people didn't bring their harmocs. Yanwei was one of them. And Shide was another one of them. Cheeyeow, being a nice guy, decided to lend Shide his harmonica. However, Shide would not share the blessings of the harmonica with poor Yanwei. No matter how hard Yanwei pleaded and begged, and told Shide how many families he had to feed, Shide would not lend him the harmonica just for that one little tune he wanted to play to rehearse for his test, and the only form of practise for the test Yanwei had was singing the notes.
O'Lord Shide, pleaseth, lendth thy thou harmonica.....
Yes, singing. Not blowing a harmonica. Sick of Yanwei's incessant begging, Shide tries to find a way to make Yanwei go away. Shide thinks, "I ponned maths remedial with the NYAA Harmoc for excuse. And the teacher is hot after my ass for my Maths Assignment which I haven't done. And I am supposed to pass it up by today afternoon. How do I walk out of this classroom with a maths assignment which has been done?"
And yes, my friend, he gave me that look, into my saddened eyes, and I knew, my friend, that the deal was settled. I would blow one simple tune, Oh Sussana, on his (Cheeyeow's) harmonica, and I would be enslaved to eternal misery and chained to his maths assignment with shackles made of lead.
I started on all those radians and stuff. I mean who cares about sine cosine area rules, and who cares about trigonometrical ratios, and who cares about radians and formula for the area of segment. I don't know, but that is what maths is all about. I wonder if any non-mathematicians grow up, find a job, and look at circles and think about those formulas....well.
I mean like, try to find a head or tail out of this :
Ok maybe not that bad. But you get what I mean. And I tell you, doing a maths assignment like that is still OK. But if you try doing that in a room with 8 people blowing harmocs, you will seriously go nuts. But after much perserverance and frantic pressing at my calculator, I finally finished the assignment. And Shide looked like this:
And to end off this post abruptly, below are the scores for Oh Susanna.
