Performance at Suntec for ICP 2009

Woke up at 6am.. yes.. 6am.. it's been a long time since i wake up so early.. surprisingly i managed to get myself up quite fast after hp alarm rang...

Met up with Yvonne and her parents outside the Convention Hall there.. Had a short talk with her dad, after which i found out from Yvonne that he's a warrant officer in the army.. =S haha.. Had a conversation with Mr Lim from MOE and Mrs Heng, the principal from Nanyang pri.. and found out that Mrs Heng is also an enthusiast in CO and she asked us about the more prominent figures in CO which was also from her 'era'. She also gave me her namecard and kind of invited us to go to her pri sch CO to like perf and entertain the kids.. Funny thing was, she kept telling us not to panic for the perf when we are actually not really panicking.. :D

Performance was quite short.. I played my 五梆子 and Yvonne played her 战台风 on guzheng.. i had a few mistakes here n there but tink i managed to hide it off.. =P Got the chance to went backstage to hear the performance when it was Yvonne's turn and i tink she did quite well and up to her usual standard. After performance we each went home separately. :D

qUoTE oF thE daY: I was thinking of a 'formula' for producing a piece of good music. And this is what i thought- EXPERIENCE and hear how the actual piece sounds like. ABSORB it thoroughly into your mind. ANALYSE the music; why it is played the way and how the original musician played it. PRACTICE and REPRODUCE it in your own style, yet not changing the meaning of the music, with heart and soul. -jon
