Soraya has a title!!!

watch out html, you may not be winning the war after all, i just need a slightly longer time to prepare my armed forces, thats all. and im advancing, html stop being so cocky and get ready to put your shields up! soraya is officially above level ground! the assault helicopter battalion is ready for take off!

and back to posting, prepare your air cavalry html!


second title: i miss playing in the orchestra




yeh, i miss them gruesome practices ms judy used to put us through. i miss fighting over who gets to play the bass guitar with rezza and mun(its quite a drag having to play the double bass and stand up the whole while u see, but i loved it nonetheless.). i miss sneaking revision notes in our music files to study in between songs, even though we weren't supposed to. i miss the percussion intermission practices. i miss the double bass section being able to rest when the others couldnt (privelages i tell ya, kononnya our fingers hurt really badly), but after awhile judy got tired of us complaining and gave us cotton and surgical tape to wrap our fingers. no more privelages. haih. i miss skiving the droning pasir roboh and waiting out in the loo till it was over. i miss having a better supper than the rest of the school, and in the great hall at that. i miss twirling the double bass at the end of 'why do fools fall in love', and trying to catch it in time to play the last bflat note. but most of all, i miss the company of my double bass mates khairil rezza and hazeril ezme. and the rest of the orchestra members of course, namely the bass, brass and percussion sections who together with us, would always be at the mercy of our conductors.

and what took me on this semi emotional trip down memory lane? and you know it. but to thos who are new to soraya's super human strength, be prepared to be amazed at her abilities to astonish the normal living noid

iyer my broken double bass. yes, i broke it. yes, at the neck. and yes, thats why it doesnt have a bridge. yes, because there isnt enough support for the strings as the neck is broken. yes, soraya has super human strength.yes, thank you.

and yes, i remember exactly what happened.
by this time, rezza and mun were long gone from kys. new double bass mates were eddy n amir.
this was during one of our double bass classes, my phone was ringing in my pocket (cant recall who the bloody bugger was, and if i could, you owe me a serious wringing in the neck).. back to the ringing phone. well, as i couldnt manage to reach into my pocket with the double bass leaning against my throat, i 'hurriedly' put it back on its stand. yes, not properly. next thing i know. kabaaaam. double bass fell, broke in two, soraya's heart starts beating really2 fast. mom and dad were the first two soraya tried to call. but when i couldn get them, ex double bassmate mun was next

soraya: mun, i broke the double bass
mun: whaat? *noisy chatter in the background*
soraya: I BROKE THE DOUBLE BASS IN TWO!
mun: oh my god, hold on! *doesnt even try to muffle annoucement* korang!.. opu patahkan double bass!!!.. *LOUD incessant laughter followed*
soraya: omg, takpayahla announce! im freaking out here
mun: takpe opu, relax.. try to calm down. you didnt do it on purpose

*mr. sensitive tells me to calm down, and thanx for telling me i didnt WANT to break the thing*

haha, funny actually. i was just sitting in my room, bored out of my wits having had too much of sociology. staring at the broken double bass just got me thinking.

i miss the orchestra, i really do
