By Default

Tomorrow no orchestra practice wor~ or should i say today? (it's 12.20 am on a saturady le) Saturday and i'm free.. it's just so rare. Since quite some time ago, i've not been complaining about practices.. the only thing i complained was the distance.. hahaa.. yalor.. they say, the greatest distance is when you need to travel to another part of sg and can't reach it in 1.5 hours.. zzz. Yet, it seems that i've accustomed to it.. and saturdays are 'by default'.

A bit not used to having my saturdays free wor.. lol.. especially when travelling takes up 3 hours.. maybe tomorrow i practice at home ba. Heard my neighbour played the horn again.. and it sounds so good le. Last time like noob, now more pro than me le.. haha. Even though i had my 190 with me, it seems just collecting dust lo.. Written: 10 years of experience.. but actually, i only played it once in a blue moon.. and given the 4 years that i've got my braces, i didn't really get so involved. Maybe afterall, the only time that counted was just that 1 or 2 years lo.

Been used to playing in Bb horn all the way (and making the F horn rather redundant IMO..).. but now, this bad habit is making me out of tune. By default, the lower range will be sharper in Bb horn. So when i tuned the middle E, i was tuned sharp.. but only the 1st 3 notes. The rest of the higher end all turned flat. In the end tried so hard to 'sharpen' the notes, but no longer could.. it was easier to make it flat with the use of the right hand and of coz, embouchure.

It was strange.. while i was playing horn all these while, i kept wanting to play trumpet.. but then during my 2 years in YJ band as a trumpet player, i kept wanting to play the horn.. ahahhaa.. the pasture seems greener on the other side hor? Always so. Maybe i don't know what i want.. or maybe everything i also want.. haha.

Don't know why i niam so much.. hahaa.. maybe nothing more 'interesting' to blog lo..
