Even the best fall down sometimes.
acsi came in first. Us, second. Congrats, fire away samson. Sure we're disappointed about it, but we're not bitter. They've been playing for a longer time and probably came more prepared than us anyway. The judges probably saw them as more versatile than us cos of their acoustic, but i must agree, their acoustic song was brilliant. We kind of know the truth, but we're not supposed to say it, just for the sake of the keeping of peace amongst both our schools and to not leak anything bout the judges. We know who the true winners are. Thats just about good enough. But it was a good experience, the barker section of the crowd was amazing. Thank you to everyone who came down. Thanks Kat and Jon for making it! Thanks Liz and all. Chris and his girl. Audre, brig and Andre. Thanks Jiyin :) And my absolutely spectacular class who've always supported me no matter what. You guys rock. The crowd really was insane and i had never performed in front of a more insane crowd than that. Usually in a play, you get really mature audiences who are sophisticatedly prim and proper. But for Battle of the bands, you get drunk druggies with no morals. I guess it makes it more worth while. None of us went to school yesterday except for barney, it was sports day and well, some asshole signed me up for swimming. No way in hell is anyone in this known world ever going to see me swim. Ever. Met Yuresh at bugis first to grab some grub, Tim joined us later and we headed for the studios for a short jamming session before our actual show. Met Uriah, Deej and Josh at the studios and we jammed for about an hour, then headed to bugis junction to grab some lunch. Yay, lunch. Then we slowly made out way to acsi. We were an hour late, but ah well, all good rock stars are always late. Barney met us at acsi then we had a short briefing before moving to our band rooms. It wasnt long before we started the full run of the thing. We screwed up a few times in the middle of rock n roll so we got quite worried, especially Tim who had become a complete nervous wreck since the day before and wouldnt release his tension until he knew we were ready. So, quite alot of intense silent practice from us in the band room. We noticed that the teacher left the test papers on the table, so we decided to look through them. I swear acsi guys are insanely smart. The test was upon 21, and the average score was a 20. The lowest in class was like, a 10. It was so rare and so amazing that i had to take a picture of it. ![]() Notice how there's a huge chunk of paper missing on the top left hand corner of the paper. He must've been so depressed over his results that he decided to bite his paper. Poor dude. Then we went to the board, and we noticed something. ![]() See how the title "Vice chairman" was once "class racist?" Haha. Anyways, Soon enough, it got to dinner time. The dinners they gave were absolute rubbish. I think it was chicken rice, but the chicken was bright yellow and the chilli had bits of grey material inside. We decided that they were trying to poison us and so ordered pizza instead. Yuresh brought his finest whiskey, johhny walker gold label which he has been saving for 2 years and decided to bring it for us. It was some strong ass stuff. But no i didnt get drunk, only had a little bit of it. So those of you who thought i was drunk cos of my red face and insane high spasmistic behavior, well, thats just how i am before and during a performance. Yuresh was totally smashed though. DJ and josh then decided to get helios drunk, so they kept giving cups of whiskey making him think it was coke, and he drank it all, and soon enough. Boom. Helios was drunk. Helios: Dude im not drunk man. DJ: never trust a drunk person when he says he's not drunk. Me: Ok, how many fingers am i holding up? (i was holding up 3) Helios: 3! (i then quickly put up my last finger to make it 4) Me: No its 4! Helios: (staring at my fingers) Ohhh shit it is 4! Oh my god im drunk. Yes. The test wasnt to see if he knew how many fingers i was putting up, but to see if he could notice my last finger popping up. Apparently he couldnt. Ah well. We really did go all high. I bought 27 bucks worth of candy and we all just kept shouting to get psyched up. Then, before the show started, we ran to all the other band rooms shouting "good luck" at every single person we could find and shaking their hands. By the end of it all, im quite sure everyone was under the illusion that we were drunk. Ah well. We were the first band to perform, and our first song was a little dry according to Liz, but we enjoyed ourselves and most of the crowd was singing along to cant take my eyes off you. Then came the other bands. We basically did nothing for the rest of the time before our second song other than running around wishing everyone good luck again. Liz and chris came to say hi during the intermissions cos i gave her a backstage pass, she assaulted me, jumped on me and threw me to the ground, people stared at us. Tsk. Im not giving you a backstage pass anymore liz! hmph. Our second song was totally awesome. We got the whole crowd going, and at the end, our barker supporters started chanting. Halfway through, some people started chanting "AC, AC! AC, AC!" Which honestly was quite dumb cos there were 3 different ACS schools competing. Clap clap. Then, there was only the long wait before the results. Only more madness backstage, running around, greeting people. Bumped into Kat and jon, i totally didnt recognize kat at all until she said hi to me. And Jon, he beat me in the height game now. :( Ah. At least i beat him in the weight game. Then, the results. ACSI came in first, followed by us, then acs international, then SJI, then HCI. After the results, we went backstage and back to our rooms, in a daze of disappointments and broken spirits, but at least we had a blast of a time. Jiyin found me backstage and passed me cookies. Yay, cookies. Which i just finished. Oops. Dad fetched me home after that and i went straight to bed for i had an audition today. Today's audition was awesome. Thats all i can say. awesome. =) Battle of the bands was a great experience, and this is not the last you'll hear of douch dunder. After the Os, we're poppin back into the music game. Here we come world. And now, pictures. ![]() Barn, Tim, Deej. ![]() International on stage. ![]() ![]() Douch Dunder ![]() ![]() Sound checking before we go onstage on the sound check day. ![]() Yureshhhhh. In our band rooms. ![]() Dinner! Yay! Dinner! ![]() Uriah, Yuresh, Josh ![]() Hungry uriah. ![]() Our candy stash! ![]() Our secret stash stash ![]() ![]() Rockstars baby ![]() ![]() Thanks for the rose Liz, i was just kidding about it, but you got it for me anyway. ![]() My cat wanted to eat the rose. ![]() Performer! ![]() C is for cookie. ![]() Woohoo! Well, i think i should introduce the band. This, ladies and gentlemen, is DOUCH DUNDERRR! ![]() On bass we have Barney. Probably the only person in this world to hold the title of that name. He looks oddly like a woman in this picture. Hmm. ![]() Deej, our super awesome rhythm guitarist. ![]() Tim, one of the best guitarist ive ever seen in my life. Rock on Tim. ![]() Uriah on drums. Somehow he always manages to look comical in all his pictures. ![]() Me, im on keyboards and im fat. And last but not least ![]() Yuresh on lead vocals. Douch dunder! A name which we finally decided on although it sounds like a german condom brand, thats perfectly fine to us. Liz is calling me now, and vader's coming soon. Its back to the books again. Sigh. It was worth it though. I'll be seeing you. ao |
