WHAT

wooooooooooooooooooo....

am in my school's com lab now... joyce just brought in nafa's recording of our concert with peter esswood, the one with fingal's cave and smetana's moldau... you know what?? we actually SOUND GOOD!! amazing....... maybe its just the recording that covered up our mistakes... wow... its really good... just cant believe it...

for those people who knew, i was really pissed on monday.. no, i'm not pissed with mr hartung.. he's a very good conductor.. the reason i was angry was because, for some reason, the cello section was rushing in the vivaldi and bach concerto.. hartung was literally screaming at us, and he almost wanted to give up on us.. no, not on the strings, on the cellos, in front of an audience... i cant believe it.. i cant believe that i couldnt hear that we were rushing.. i was following the soloists as close as i could.. did i really rush? was it just the tendency to rush that he was pissed with? i dunno... the utter humiliation we faced.. i should be able to tell when we were rushing...

the next day, i was feeling better... until string's class.. when dr goh came in and talked to us about the rehearsal on monday.. he said he was impressed with the progession the strings have made, specifically the violins and violas, which he says is probably the best section now.. he didnt mention the cellos and bass.. what could i say? the cellos and bass are left behind the violins and violas.. we didnt improve since hartung came? this shouldnt be the case.. so i'm really dissappointed..

another thing i was shocked about was when clarence performed for string class.. after his played, hartung asked ma sai about his playing.. for those not in nafa, ma sai is a very virtuosic double bass player.. best in nafa in terms of technicality.. i wasnt happy with the fact that mr hartung was actually comparing ma sai and clarence's playing.. come on.. it is very discouraging for the player leh... so in the end, clarence didnt get any constructive comments about his playing.. i cant believe it..

string ensemble concert at vch on thursday and nafa orchestra/chorus concert next tuesday... i'd better play well or else i'm screwed.. stupid vivaldi cello solos...

on lighter notes, remember i said i was dreaming about lim yau and soon lee? well, the day after i dreamt of lim yau, i dreamt of him again.. this is sick, then the day after that i dreamt of lim soon lee again!! omg... i think i'm super stress now... i dreamt of someone last night also.. its really weird la.. shall not disclose names for now or people will think too much... haha

well, my church's anniversary celebration is coming soon... am i excited about it? somewhat yes, but i'm still not over the fact that i cant play for it..

celebrated my brother's birthday yesterday.. i bought him a dc comics artwork book.. it looks good.. i had a hard time deciding on what to buy him, so i bought that.. probably the worst present ever got for anybody.. i will make it up on christmas... anyway, we went to eat at a brazilian restaurant near the queen astrid park area.. i tell you, the queen astrid park is filled with filthily rich people with bungalows that look like fortress with high concrete walls.. its ridiculously huge for singapore... for those who have been to my house, their houses are like as long as my house's building, which contains about 10 families!! go see it for yourself... anyway, side-tracking... so we ate at this brazilian buffet.. it isnt one of those where you walk around and get your food.. the food come to you.. there are waiter's carrying skewers of meat around.. they have medium-rare beef, chicken liver, honey-backed ham, lamb, beef ribs, pork, fish, grilled pineapple blah blah blah... and we had wine too.. it was the most i've drank so far.. 2 glasses.. and i finally knew the right way of drinking wine.. ask me for those who want to know.. haha...

well, i've talked to my sis about certain stuffs about someone.. conclusion? i shall wait.. be patient.. get to know the character, make sure that its really what i want, ask God and see what happens... fine... i shall wait.. no hurry.. push it and your life is destroyed.. at least for awhile.. i dont want anything to go wrong.. i hope... who am i talking about? for me to know, for you to find out.. haha...
