I just listened to Tokio Hotel's new album, Humanoid. The songs are AWESOME.

Okay that may be a biased comment. But the songs are nice. :D
Very different from their previous album. More pop/electronica/rock.
And Bill is still as pretty and Tom is just as hot. Yup, I haven't forgotten them okay!

Even with me in all this Kpop gaga.

Hmm, looking back, I seriously don't remember how I got into the Hallyu fever.
Cause I used to be sooooo into Jpop (or more specifically Johnny's Ent) then I sort of just converted halfway.

I know it started with JUST Dbsk, then I caught up with the other SME acts, then the dominoes just fell into place I guess. Not to mention, most of my AC band friends are very much into Kpop too. (See Tune In videos)
Maybe their influence played a part.

But I think the main reason is NEWS' ALMOST NO NEWS. :(

Like seriously, 1 single this year. D:
And it wasn't all that awesome either, compared to last year's songs.
Even though they participated in 24 TV, 2009 ain't a NEWS year. Yah. :(

Their absence made me bored of waiting so I chanelled my boredom into somthing else, and that something happened to be DBSK!!
And the rest is history.

So that briefly describes my switch in fandoms. Hahah.

I think it will give Hayati a peace of mind. I didn't wholly betray Jpop okay! I just found Kpop more happening. :D


Okay. Change topic.


BAND CAMP WAS FUN!

And extremely tiring.

Seriously. Played my horn like nobody's business for the full 3 days.
I didn't think I improved THAT much, but I came back with torn lips anyway.

Super ultra painful. :(
But I'm not alone, so I shouldn't be complaining.

Anyway the highlight of this camp is definitely the night games and ensemble competition!

Let's start with the games.

Basically, the games are okay, but because it was played at night and in the dark, it totally brings it up to a whole new level.

The whole "haunted" concept thing is really good. :D

I don't know how to summarise everything into words but it's just really really really fun!
(Like, till the police even came, but nevermind. Skip this part.)

Anw, I got to know the people around me a lot better, and actually start speaking to people whom I don't usually talk to. Overall a memorable experience. Kudos to the Ex-cos ! :D

As usual, no pictures from the camera-less me. I hope people start putting their photo's on Facebook already. D:


Then, there was the ensemble competition, which was a totally new thing for all of us.
Played in a wind quintet for the first time. And from there, I realise how ......... interesting it is, playing the bassline.

It is totally not fun, all the spammation of low notes beyond my "nice" range. On top of that, I had to be a woodwind instrument, so cracking is an ultimate no-no.

I feel you Ruiheng. ): Tuba is not fun.

Band talk aside, the competition was a real learning experience. I'd definitely wanna do it again. :D
Totallye looking forward to next year's band camp. :D


Wordy post from me. I don't know when I'll update again though. My life is bandless till next year, unless you count BandFest?

Speaking of which, DO YOU WANNA WATCH BAND FEST CONCERT?

20 December. Tix selling at $12. Its at esplanade so $12 is a highly reasonable price. And there's a guest Polish Band playing alongside the Honour Band so you can expect good music.

Anyone?? Please? :(
