Hot N Cold

Went for swimming today... Honestly I don't hate swimming, it's just that the image I get in my mind: a 14 year old boy with a bunch of younger kids, makes me embarrassed =..= But it went okay, and I pretty much enjoyed it. Got home and spent a while playing a few notes on the oboe, and getting the reeds ready, and disassembling the old one(: K.Ge reeds are always so weird one... The playable ones are too soft to control the thickness of sound and the right tone I wanted, and the unplayable ones are just right =..= And there are still high notes that need the usage of side octave key which I can't get a thick sound... Oh god... What can I say, things about oboe are just too complicated to get right... I want to start learning how to make reeds by myself too...

Alone for Valentine's today anyway... Sigh... Two years more before the BGR contract expires... No one will wait take long... But you don't know, this rule might be broken soon, cause the school is talking about giving the students freedom(: So Discipline Comm's importance is dropping... But some minimum level of discipline still must be kept too, or our school will turn worse. I've a feeling people will hate me for being too strict next time =..=

Here are pics of the SUPER old reed I was using until yesterday... About 4 months liao... So it was pretty broken. Had to change it, or it probably will crack if I use it for La' Sinfonie D' Amis concert... Preparing to sell to Scotts and Edgar now:)

Pics of the old reed

The curly black string from the reed

As you can see, the cork had dropped already... and the tip of the reed is splitting.

Removed the remaining cork,

and dismantled it.

The reed opened into two, as seen in the pic.

Lol, that's all for today(: I'm tired.

Once again, Happy Valentine's Day people!
