this Weekend.

SAT:

Went to bugis with weihao & dalston in the afternn for some shoppin n makan... was supposed to meet them at 4 but end up meetin up arnd 4.30 cos we got mixed up with the meeting location and oso got one Prudential promoter talked to me bout some advance savings plan... it was sth like they take out $75/mth and there'll be a 3% interest on it den until duno when i can take out... sounds like not bad mayb i'll give it a consideration. haha. after that got myself 2shirts n a watch... n after that went for dinner den go for SYCO concert.

I can say this yr's SYCO concert's awesome. They started with 将军令 and i tink the conductor did a very gd job for his 处理 of the song... and i like his conducting style.. the concert carried on with 2 other songs which i neva hear b4 but was quite nice. Then next was 丰年祭.. got abit blunder for the cello bow on guzheng part but overall was one of the better 丰年祭s that i heard b4..

2nd half of the concert got even better with 2 solos and Gada Meilin. The suona solo by Chang le was terrific la.. seriously.. i've neva seen so zai suona-cum-stage performance b4... comparable to SCO players.. after reading his profile den i knew it was a no wonder cos he's from a family of suona players from China. well.. another foreign talent. (: The guzheng solo piece by Yvonne was equally nice and oso majestic at the same time. It's my 1st time listening to Gada Meilin.. heard many ppl talkin bout how nice the song is and finally heard for it personally. Hope to train hard and get into SYCO end of this yr..

SUN:

Went for practice at cc as usual... lian wif the dizi section for a while and corrected some small mistakes like sitting postures and breathing properly. Today's practice wif them was better than last week's so.... Good! got improvement haha. Halfway while lian-ing wif them Boo asked me go teach 2 sec1 percussion 奋勇 and i nearly lost my voice speaking n counting beats to them in the noisy room.. both of them can make me vomit blood sia.. haha.. keep playing wrongly on the same bar lah.. but it's understandable cos they are sec1 la... after lunch was plainly anyhow la.. the group of us was exchanging instruments to play.. awhile play suona, awhile erhu, awhile cello, awhile yangqin... had fun though.. haha. B4 going home, played a round of bluff wif xiaotou they all... haha(our usual entertainment when we not lianing music at cc)..

ok thats all for the week.
