hehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
had a great day today, more or less... first of all, i had a concert yesterday (friday), with the artyfakt thingy... i played quite badly... argh! i couldnt believe it! i keep losing count of the bars and i played out of tune!!! its one of the worst concerts i've played in my life... i hated it... we were playing baroque music again... haiz... but at least i'm getting paid for it... then i hung out with some of my church friends... they came to watch the concert, but 1 of them was sleeping.. haha.. oh well...
feeling down now... haiz... shall explain later...
aniwaes, for happier news, the snyo concert today was really really really great and fun!!! my most enjoyable and fun concert i've played so far in my life... we played glinka's overture, glasnouv violin concerto, tchaikovsky symphony no.2, leroy anderson's christmas medly and some carols... it was really fun... ike played very well, and people gave him flowers and soft toys... haha... it was too many for him to carry... he was given about 2 or 3 bouquets of flowers and 2 soft toys, which was a winnie-the-pooh piglet and something else which i cant remember... and on the way back to the backstage, he dropped the piglet... haha... after the whole concert, we were playing some carols, and some of the snyo board of directors came to play along with us... hahaa... i didnt know they could play... they used to be in the singapore youth orchestra back in 1969 along with mr lim... hahaha... memories... so the audience was singing along with us, well, more or less... we could hear them... we were given a huge amount of applause, a long one, and so some people in the snyo suggested to play an encore, which was the glinka overture again, coz it was a really fast paced song... so we played it agian, this time much faster than what we played the first time... half-way through the song, mr lim walked down the conductor's platform and stood directly behind me... it was really special.. it wasnt something anyone would do during a concert.. maybe he wanted to show the people that we could play without him... maybe... haha.. i thought he was heading towards the wind and brass section, but while i was playing, i heard some breathing sounds, like those made of a conductor or player... then i turned around and i saw his looming figure behind me... wah lau... was shocked la... he was holding on to my chair somemore... we did well for the beginning of the encore, but we kinda screw up in the middle because of a stupid reason... we didnt know when to come in because our dear clarinetist wasnt there... that daniel, also the same daniel from nafa... he only had to play the overture for the night, and he left for home i guess after that piece... and we didnt have him in the encore... ahahaa... so i didnt know when to come in... aniwaes, we managed to scrape through it.. and we were given a huge applause from the audience again... at least i thought it was... haha... oh wells...
so after the whole thing, my friend and i went to meet some of the snyo guys at bakerzin at the merlion area... things there are too expensive, but i spent like $16 there, not including service charge and gst, which was like 15%... bleah... haiz... now to tell you why i'm down... we were making fun of someone, and i should have kept my big mouth shut... i told someone a little about it, and i'm not willing to tell her the rest, in order to keep some people's identity a secret... and now she's angry with me... haiz... ehz, dun angry larh.. its just a joke k? it nothing serious, please... i dont like to make my friends angry... so now i'm down, not knowing what to do...
*sigh*
