Strings


It's 2:29 AM right now, and I'm not asleep. Not studying. Not doing anything but blog. And "Going to blog" was a phrase I told myself like 5 hours ago? What have I been doing? No one knows seriously. But anyway, hi! It's been a long time since I blogged and.. Yeah, whew, glad that MST is ALMOST over, yes I have one paper left on Monday. One last paper! :D

Hmm MST was... Alright I guess. Not gonna say I screw this and that (even though yes some of the paper were really tough) and neither am I gonna say I'm so gonna do well for this and that. Lets just hope for the best, I've given my best shot, so... Why bother thinking whether I'll screw this and score that? Just hope for the best! Heh

Friday was alright, I went for a movie outing with some of my DBS mates. We watched transformers! And it was awesome! But pretty draggy, not sure why but just draggy. And it lasted like 2h 45 minutes? A tad too long isn't it? I didn't know the movie was gonna be this long so I didn't go for the PTN :O So sorry to my DBS research! We didn't want to keep you all waiting :O

Anyway today or yesterday, or.. wait, three days ago AKA on Thursday, while studying with Nivedha, Chee Ming came and asked if I am able to play clarinet for a concert next Saturday. It's a music school concerts with strings (Y) and he asked me to play together with him, together with some other band peeps and SPSE people. And so I said yes! It's an awesome and great opportunity man :D

So today we had our first rehearsal at NP. It was our first time playing, and seeing the songs we gotta perform. Some the SPSB members are Cecillia, Zhen Yang, Sham and me, and Chee ming of course. And I think it's really great that we were able to play the song with only like a few hours of practice! And the musicians are sooooo cute haha, little children playing strings! How awesome is that, future musicians I suppose :)

This is my first time playing along together with a string ensemble. Even though our parts are really minor, like only for a few parts etc, it's really a great experience. And I mean, I don't really care of the length of my part, cause to me the experience is what I treasure the most. Being on that stage together with fellow musicians (young or old) and strings! It's like a dream come true.

Oh well if it were to be an orchestra, then one item of my life's to-do list is gone.

But nevermind! Good enough hehe. And I so can't wait for the actual concert next Saturday! :D

Anyway after that we all head home, and yup that's all for the day. During the rehearsal, the string ensemble was playing Explosive by Bond. I really love that song, and salute to the vioinists who are playing the melody part just now! I was really blown away :D And thanks to them I really fall in love with that song again, and... I tried it on the piano! Haha

My hand was so "sour" after playing, duh it's fast and rhythmically hard. My hand is pain now too hah. I shall show you the video recording of my playing one day :)

Alright 2:49, I gotta go and sleep! Planning to study tomorrow morning so yep! Lab Bio here I come! Shall tame you within a day haha. Bon nuit!

I guess music, is where my heart truly lies in?
62 more days to Inner Mongolia OCIP!
