leaving for india in about 20 hours time... playing for a super rich family's wedding.. they are paying for all the accomodation and airfares, including travel insurance, and they are paying us $700.. cool? ohhh yes!
anyway, have a hectic week after i come back.. too many things to do.. history homework and not forgetting dr goh's concert on the 21st.. he keeps telling me to make sure that i come back from the trip, or his piano trio is down the pits.. well, he can always ask my uncle..
dunno what to expect there.. hope the things will be cheap and decent.. anybody considering to buy slaves? white slaves: S$750, chinese slaves: S$700 brown slaves: S$200, black slaves: free (get 3 and get free deodorant)

Nightmare..
ok..
so i finally post... uh, nothing much happened actually... come to think of it, actually yes, but shall just tell you the main stuffs...
the day before yesterday, which is on a thursday night, we had snyo rehearsal at vch and was waiting for a cab with adriel.. we waited for about 45 mins before one finally decided to stop.. before that, we were waiting with our cellos at the roadside.. then one car stopped in front of us and asked if any of us had a quartet.. adriel doesnt, so i told them i had one.. they asked me if was able to play for their function somewhere near the end of december.. they look like those southern indians, or maybe northern.. whichever has the fairer looking people.. and they look with a foreign accent.. well, there was this girl behind in their car, and she was a little... freaky... they asked for my name and hp number so that they can contact me.. so i told them my name was joshua, which is what i tell people who arent chinese... so the girl who was behind the car was starring at me the whole time and kept saying my name... isnt that like freaky?? anyway, thinking of the incident, it actually sounded like musical prostitution... me and adriel, standing at the road, and a car comes by and asks for our service... lol
anyway, the snyo concert was yesterday, and something happened which will probably scar me for the rest of my life.. it was time to play ibert's flute concerto and people who were not playing for this piece were leaving the stage.. so i flipped our scores to the concerto, and to our unpleasant surprise, the first page wasnt there.. so i thought it might be jumbled up somewhere behind.. i searched.. NOTHING.. omg.. i turned to adriel "crap.. we dont have the first page.." we starred at each other for what seemed like eons.. then our genius sl thought of something "can you go backstage and get it?" so i went.. i ran.. i looked, i got the spare first page and ran up on stage again.. luckily there were still people setting up.. and i put the page on our stand.. so finally, i calmed down a little bit.. so we started.. 1st page was ok, 2nd page was ok, then when we turn to look at the 3rd page, it wasnt there!!! OMG! but luckily we were able to memorise the first few bars of it.. and i was in a state of shock... after what seemed like ages, we approached a few bars of rest and i quickly flipped to the 3rd page.. and guess what.. our original 1st page was on our stand, it was just flipped to the 2nd page!! omg... it was such a stupid mistake!! ngahh!!!!!!! this is one of those typical musician's nightmare come true, apart from forgetting to bring your instrument before a concert, forgot to bring your scores, late or totally forgetting to perform for your concert, or for string players, forgetting to bring your bow...
i feel stupid...
anyway, i bought a couple of mr bean animated shows just now.. they are so crappy and funny.. should watch it when you can.. and if you didnt notice, his feet and legs arent connected to each other..
enjoy#$!&%#
