Haha.. Today was a very fun day.. Here's why.. Started of with cell this morning. Supposed to meet at 12 but usual abit later. Met at macs den proceeded upstairs (parkway builders). Had to leave early cos i was going to have ensemble practice at nafa. The lift took very long to arrive which caused a jam. They should install more lifts there. Took a cab to nafa. For those who didn't know. Nafa has three buildings. Namely the school of visual arts, the school of performing arts and the school of fashion. The bad thing is that they are not in the same area but seperated along a road with many junctions. So after wasting lots of time walking around, i reached the building and went up. I was the last to arrive. Ivan said that we needed to practice somewhere else as there were other people using the room and we aren't students of Nafa so we didn't have the privilage of using their room. Went to the staircase to practice. AGAIN!!! Anyway, there was enough space where it could fit three people and three stands. Chairs too mind you. It was rather hot and so it was hard to concentrate. Malcolm and i kept making mistakes. We had some problem with dynamics. I guess i'm not too adapted to the crystal mouthpiece yet. It was a good practice overall. Its nice to play with players who are really into music. Regardless of their schools. Also, there was a newspaper report on a body found floating at the canal outside my school. Freaky.. After it ended, me and ivan took a cab (AGAIN!!!) to city hall to meet nicholas and jeremy. So we met them at 3.28. As we were abt to be late in meeting the rest of them. I walked very quickly thru citylink mall. As usual. I never fail to walk fast in that area becos i always seem to be in a rush there. So yup, walked to the convention centre entrance as agreed. Didn't see them there. So maybe they went to the place liao. Walking up escalator, called corne. Saw him when we were at the end of it. Opened my can of BU SHUANG and gobbled it as i thought they were going in soon. But i was wrong. They walk here sit there talk here walk there until me and ivan went to the entrance of the place. It was smaller than i expected it to be. I thought it was the convention hall. Like those where my church once had service. It was like a conference room lah. A big one. So we settled down. Waiting for it to start. Throughout the whole thing, the emcee was quite lame and we were making very rude remarks... haha. Waited patiently for the duo to perform. Not too bad, still sounding too classical though. Not bad liao. Had this interval before they announced the results. Ivan. nicholas and jeremy had already left before that. Guess they couldn't stand it and they had other plans. So we made use of time and i let those who wanted to try my mouthpiece try lah. With string as the ligature, supposedly to make ur high notes sound less shrill. Got the expected feedback. High resistance.. haha.. Got the results. The duo got 100 bucks voucher. haha. not bad lah.. they had nothing to lose. proceeded to macs. macs... gossiping and lots of chatting happening as we were there. Haha, nice to go out with people who Talk.. Lots of crap... Interesting crap. Wanted to zap scores for xinling and gary but couldn't find a place that does there on our way to the mrt. Sorry gary.. to keep u waiting so long.. Borrowed corne's cam at the mrt station and tool some bo liao pics... haha, alighted at eunos. For information abt what happened after i left, please refer to corne's meilan's or gary's blog.. for now lah.. i'm sure the rest would update soon. Had pizza at home.. wow.. second round.. feeling stuffed now.. Growing fatter.. haha... Anyway, pics of the day.. enjoy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() battery dead.. haha Kenneth blogged at 9:28 PM. |
