Flying Pickets.

8/09/2006 01:41:00 AM

Looks like I have (semi) fail to fight back ?

Anyway, I found this :

They are the Flying Pickets!

Yes, they are the ones who sang the very famous 'Only You'.

For all these years, I have thought they are some Ah Peks.

(think in the direction of The Beach Boys)

Never did I knew they were quite hip one.

haha!

And, look at that shirt the 2nd man on the right is wearing !

SO HIP!

Just thought this entry can spice up the blog a little.

Till next time!

JAS out! =)

correction.

8/08/2006 02:42:00 PM

hahas.
here's the thing to correct
I wasn't in Chinese Orchestra in primary school.
You wanna know what cca i'm in? you will never know.

.
.
.

GARDENING

+

ART CLUB

+

LIBRARIAN

WHAHAHAHAHS
:) How unexpected ccas i have. ^_^
gardening is fun you know, every morning i come to school and can't wait to water the plants. One of the reasons why i like to water the plants is because, i dont have to do silent reading if i am doing gardening. :)
BUT HEY, it's still fun. Just that every morning i pray it don't rain, cause if rain, very little things can be done, we can only go and take the... thingy thingy i dont know what is it called. Shovel? Mini shovels and loosen the soil then go back to silent reading.
Silent reading is a DREAD. Really. -_-"

Anyway, Jasmine and Me are like completely opposite personalities.
She's like um hahahs i dont know, opposite. I'm noisy, she's more tame. I'm crazy, she's more logical. I'm more rebellious, she's more stick to rules. hahahs.
So you see.. WE HAVE OUR UNIQUENESS.
oh yeah, as you can see, jasmine is the more femenine one. I'm still trying to get my smell out. AHHAHAAHHAHA. ;)

TILL THEN.

GIRL POWER!!

8/07/2006 11:22:00 PM

Please do not underestimate GIRL POWER in TONE okay!

Here's why:

1. Both girls do not share the same favourite colour.

But that's okay, coz this shows our individuality!
Unlike the guys, green is their favourite.
Like, duh.

2. Both girls are HIGHLY resourceful.

Angela is the one who came up with this blog.
If she hadn't, I don't think we can have such heated topics to discuss here!
And, who do you look for when you don't scores ?
ME!
Yes, though I'm the unofficial score manager, but I do keep track of our music.
FYI: Ray, you still owe me 2 copies of Teresa Teng Medley scores!
(It's okay if you don't return, I'm still going to print another one anyway)

3. Both girls have DECENT fashion sense.

I suppose Angela's fashion style is highly complex, considering the fact that she hasn't found hers.
That's fine, coz at least she can present herself properly.
Me, simplicity is the key.
See, we are so better off than the guys.

4. Both girls are talented.

Angela has joined various CCAs in her school life.
From Chinese Orchestra in primary school then to choir in secondary and to band in JC (for a short while)and finally cricket!
Now do you see her versatility ?
I was a CCA hopper in primary school, changing CCA year after year until I settled in Movement and Dance.
Yah, dance.
We work with tambourine and tap them as we dance.
Is it a little unexpected ?
OH! We can percuss too!
Though only simple 'du-ke du-ke', but we are working on it!

5. One of us has an incredible range.

Yes, Angela has a range of 4 octaves!
Can you do it ?
Sadly, I can't fufil this requirement but I'm working on it!

Yup, 5 strong points from the girls.
GIRL POWER!

PS: I hope no offence is taken after this post is being read.

By,
JAS! =)

Declaration of Harmony

8/07/2006 03:10:00 PM

I am bored.
In college now.
Waiting for a bloody class at 5 (it's now 3pm)

I DO NOT wear FBT shorts in orchard road unless I need to.

Since TONE is on a "Introduction Streak", I shall comment and list some of the likely rehearsal venues that Tone likes to rehearse at.
-- This entry will also be dedicated to our future sponsors and appealing to them based on our worst then pigsty (a.k.a lao pok) rehearsal spaces --

Tip to note:
Tone's rehearsal spaces are often either:
1. Hot but quiet
2. Dirty but Acoustic
3. Stuffy but spacious
4. Noisy but comfortable
5. Condusive but dark
6. Perfect but Banned

1. The space outside Orchard MRT toilet.
We used to love this space, it's public so we won't get chased out. Probably also because security was watching other people other than silly teenagers rehearsing. We love the black marble walls and the stench from the toilet. The acidic urine just makes our vocal chords go "Wooooooo..."

2. The linkway between Istana park and Dhoby Ghaut MRT.
We like to use used paper as a floor mat. Add in an inversed straw hat, rags for clothes and you've got yourself a new hit single! "Beggar Teens".

3. The "hidden" stairwell at Bugis Junction next to Singtel shop.
We like this space to do choreography. It have fabulous acoustics coz it's an enclosed area. The sound resonates so well that we don't know if we are out of tune. We love to dance like fools on our very professionally done choreography that we pull off with such oomph and enthusiasim. Moreover, this space once had a lingering female spirit (no, it's not Chin Tow's female stench. It's a crying spirit). It's so stuffy that Jasmine had an asthma attack.

4. The Starbucks cafe at Wisma Atria level 4.
This is next to the toilet that Ray always cries at coz we sing his fantastic arrangement very badly. (ref to previous post). It is now seemingly our favourite haunt to rehearse. JunKai named the corner we rehearse "The Waiting Hole" because people are always waiting for the ones never early.

5. The Esplanade outdoor area by the river.
It is such a nice, windy place to rehearse. Most of the time quiet where you can hear yourself. It is however so fantastically dark that prawn noodle gravy can spill on jeans and leave a "sea-smell" (Notice, I am being very olfactory here). We also can't read scores well and require a torch from a phone to do so. Moreover, Japanese tourists often pop out of the oblivious darkness to chance upon us singing Love Love Couple na Furi Furi de Chu. Which of course they have to request for an encore and we have to sing for them (allowing them to video record us without copyright).

6. The airconditioned Esplanade areas.
We get shoo-ed.

Sing, sing a song..

8/06/2006 01:27:00 AM

Yeah!! I'm the last to post something here. Ok fine, nothing to be excited about. I think i'm the only one who doesn't really miss acappella much. Why? BECOS YOU GUYS JUST LEFT ME STANDING THERE ALONE!! Jer and Ray having A level break, Jas having O level break, and Ang having Promos study break. Where is mine? -.- So not fair. Fine fine, that's not the main point why i posted.

Ok, I'm here to tell you guys the funny facts about the guys (Jer, Ray, Ben)in TONE.

1) All three guys' favourite colour is green.
Any guys out there need any green stuffs just borrow it from us. (espcially ray :p)

2) All three guys are multi-"used".
Jer can take the Bass part and the Sop part, but actually he is a Baritone. Ray can take the Bari part, the Tenor part and sometimes the Bass part. For me, I can take the Tenor part, Alto part, Bari part (like duh?) and never given the chance to take the Bass part. -.-

3) All three guys are weirdos with clothes?
Ray likes to wear the same shirt for every practice with TONE (ok, he has been working on it). Jer likes to wear his FBT shorts while walking on the road in Orchard. I like to wear black stuffs, I've got like more then 10 pieces of black shirts/pants/tee-shirts. (and black underwear if you like to know)

4) All three guys come at different time.
Normally, I will reach first, then Jer, then Ray. Sometimes Ray doesn't even turn up at all. (Ok, only once)

5) All three guys have their own thingy with music.
Jer likes it rock, Ray likes it punk, and I like it slow with a tinge of sadness.

See!! 5 strong points about the guys in TONE!!
For the girls, let me think about it again.
At the moment, That's all!!
All the best for ur studies guys.
Ben aka SiTaBo~~

YO-LEI-HO!

8/05/2006 10:58:00 AM

Greetings :)

I just thought i should post something up since, you know.. well. everyone's posting something.

But seriously speaking. I really don't know what i should write.
I'm occupied with school work i hardly have time to think about acappella, which is a pretty sad thing.
and one thing that might shock you guys is...........

I tried to join Chinese Orchestra in my school.

and good thing is,
i'm playing the pipa.

why good?

cause playing pipa looks like oriental beauty! :D
I can work on my.......... you know.

FEMALE SMELL. :)

Alright. Till then! ^_^

- From the superduper-extrodinary-overwhelming
ANDDDDDDDDD...........

MI-SI-REN (迷死人)

female smell: angela. ^^

HOI

8/05/2006 01:36:00 AM

I've come to clear my name.

haha I do not go to the toilet next to starbucks and sulk cos of that!

Anyway here is RAYNER TAN'S 6 signs of pre-stage nervousness. (yes im that bored)

1) You start saying "haissss" repeatedly 5-10 mins before the performance.
2) your heart beats at twice its normal rate.
3) You insist on drinking water every 5 minutes
4) You drink up half a bottle of nin jiom pi pa gao within an hour
5) You start taking weird photos of people in emo poses
6) You randomly turn to your group members and go "haisss. How?"

ain't it true?

If tone ever becomes famous i'm going to delete this post. HAHAHA. So dumb.

Anyway. I recommend Christina Aguilera's up and coming album: "Back to Basics". She's a damn good vocalist. If you like "Ain't no other man", you'll like most of the tracks in this album, from the cute "candyman" to the melancholic "hurt". Yeah. The album got leaked on the net. haha. apparently. My friend sent me half the album.

And to Jas and Jer, You download her songs and harmonise ur heads off. Her songs are HEAVILY harmonised. hahaha. Might arrange smth from there when i'm free.

But right now, gonna mug for prelims. 5 weeks left! ARGH.

And the rest of you better mug hard too la.

OH YEAH.

there's a chinese pop male newcomer called "TONE". Smack his face ah. Now are we committing any infringement of copyrights? I hope not.

Tonians.

8/04/2006 11:20:00 PM

Was difficulty getting access to this account.
But hey, here I am.
It's time for me to contribute!

Apparently, my player died on me this week.
So no TONE's singing for at least a month!
Sigh.

As much as I thought Jeremy's desperation to harmonise was a little exaggerated, I couldn't agree more.
(I hope my phrasing was okay, Error Sensitive Machine aka Jeremy!)
Everyday as I sing the national anthem, I would try to harmonise with it.
Which sounds ridiculous lah.

Okay, enough of my nonsense.
Should end this entry now.

Hope everyone is doing fine with studies and all.
Take lots of water, weather is rather odd these days.
Keep blogging at this blog, it will be the only way to know each other's well being I guess!
haha.
Alright,jas out! =)
