Aimless Post....

ooooooooooooooooook.....

here i am to blog again... didnt have the motivation to... anyway, nafa had our gala concert on tuesday, with the choir and vocal soloists nancy yuen, lim shieh yi(?), william-something and student zhou qian (not to be confused with yong siew toh's violin lecturer)...

just came back from eating durian...

anyway, in my personal opinion, i thought this was one of our best concerts yet... i think.. cant wait for the video to be released.. i thought the cellos did pretty well, except for a few blunders here and there, but they were insignificant... at least from what i thought...

i had a rather disturbing dream last night... me, my bro and father was in america to visit my sis for a month.. since she moved to texas, we were driving on the highway which was in the tornado alley.. well, no, no tornadoes appeared.. but, we crashed into the corner of a tunnel.. uh, i didnt see us crash, but as we approached the wall, i woke up... oh well...

i'm like doing orchestration (which is already 2 days overdue) and blogging at the same time lah.. but come to think of it, i'm beginning to enjoy orchestrating... seem to get used to it now.. kinda fun actually, but not when you have to rush for a dateline(deadline?)...

oh yes, adriel's weber's solo is improving... another 3 months to concert, and at this rate, he should be playing like a pro by then.. and ibert(say ee-bear) flute concerto's 3rd movement is madness... but we got used to it in 20 mins.. not bad eh? =p
if kevin the flautist in nafa wins the upcoming concerto competition, thats what we're gonna play, and if we actually do, well, all i can say is good luck to the orchestra...

and i must say that many people have been reading my blog all along and i was rather oblivious to it.. nobody told me? lol... lucky i didnt gossip about you-know-who doing you-know-what at you-know-where with you-think-i-think-you-know-who... go figure... haha...

ok, nothing else much to say.. oh yes! i saw a copy of singapore's encyclopedia on my dining table a few days back, and it was opened to the letter 'C', and immediately, i saw my brother's name with a description.. it goes like this:

Chan Yoong Han (1974- ) Musician.
Chan Yoong Han studied in Australia and the United States. He has performed in music festivals worldwide, and as a solo violinist in concertos with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. A distinguished member of the orchestra's first violin section, he is also one of Singapore's most active practitioners os chamber music. In 1998-99, he curated, organized and performed a series of eight solo chamber recitals entitled Motifs and Murals. Chan also won the Young Artist Award (Music) in 1994. <----- its supposed to be 2004!!!

well, thats not the first time they misinformed the public about him.. the worst case was when he appeared in the newspaper a few years back, i think when he gave the very first performance in the esplanade to the public when it first opened... they spelled his name wrong 3 times.. no, the mistakes were all inconsistent.. first it was chan yong han, then chan yoon han, and then chan yew han or something like that... haiyo.. newspaper editors nowadays...

so i was flipping through the encyclopedia for people that i might know, and of course one of them who came into mind was our beloved lecturer...

Goh, Zechariah (1970- ) Composer. <--- cool!
Zechariah Goh Toh Chai studied piano performance and composition at the Univertiy of Kansas, where he was awarded the Anthony B. Cius Music Composition Award in 2000 and 2001.
