Du Pre....

sad........

haiz... feel so sad now... just watched a documentary about jacqueline de pre on youtube just now.. there are 8 parts to it... its really sad la... wah lau... almost cried.. she's my favourite cellist... her interpretation, technic, character, amazing.... if only she was still alive.. its really a pity that she had to go so early... now i'm also reading a book, hilary and jackie... its an auto-biography of her, written by her sister and brother, hilary and piers respectively... well, its really emotional... the book tells of her life with her family, her relationship with her sister and brother... you know, when i was reading the book, her relationship with her brother seems to be very very similar to me and my sister... and guess what, the brother used to learn the clarinet, then he gave up... hilary played the violin for some time before settling on the flute... you guys should read this book.. i was already about to cry when i read the first 2 pages... can you imagine... if your interested in watching the documentary, go www.youtube.com and search 'du pre and elgar cello concerto'.. there are 8 parts, so watch it in order...

well, on lighter notes, actually, no lighter notes.... just, ...... that.....

nafa had our concert on tuesday with darrell ang conducting.. well, i've thought it through... it was definitely wrong for us to judge him like that.. he is afterall like everyone of us.. he's not perfect.. he's learning and developing his abilities as a conductor... maybe his character has more room for improvement, but dont all of us have too? i dunno... i didnt really enjoy the concert we played that night... he kept glaring at me... when somebody in the cello section rushes, he glares at me and assumed it was me.. well, and he's also biased against me i think... shant talk about it...

didnt get to play the weber solo for syo tonight.. some other day perhaps...
