reverse psychology.

Yesterday went over to Jia's place to practice for band. Seeing as how Paramount Finals are on Wednesday and we've never actually had a proper practice before we were all quite detemined to practice as much as possible in order not to embarrass ourselves on stage. What's more we're an all girl band so that means we're not really experienced.

Jia Lik picked me up around 12.45 with Nat & Jessie in the car. Ate lunch first then only went over to her place. So we waited for everyone else to show up. The group singing people came also as our singers are also in group singing so both of us could practice at the same time. When we played for the first time, we sounded really really really really really bad. That was around 3 o' clock I think. This was followed by a couple of hours of 'You're out of tempo!' 'You're playing the wrong chord!' 'That's the wrong note!' 'Not loud enough!', we sounded much better than we did at 3. Ate dinner at 8 and then went back to practicing till 9.30. Then all the other group singing people went back as the band people were sleeping over so that we could practice the next day also. Seeing as it was late we stopped practicing and proceeded to play cards and then watch a movie. "Fool's Gold". Wasn't that great a movie.

Woke this morning and after eating breakfast practiced some more. I am happy to say that after all the practicing, we have made a TREMENDOUS improvement from the day before. In fact, we sound pretty decent. Hopefully we sound fine at tomorrow's rehearsal and on the actual day itself.
