Play It

Well , just came home by bus with Sebestian , and i think he should be reading this when he gets home . I mentioned to him that i blogged about him , so now maybe i shall blog more about this freaky guy .

Had class in the morning . Karen was nice and funny ... then i kinda understood the things she said . Then , after that ... had lunch with SiHan , after his rehearsal with his composer . Anyway , couldnt buy the webcam today ... because i had not enough money , well ... we're going to buy tomorrow night . Going down to Orchard tomorrow ... anyone wanna come along ? While eating ... we were bitching as usual . Mark , Samuel , LeeTung and SiHan ... i wasnt involved ! Im joking ... well , its all the usual funny stuffs . After that ... everybody rushed for their own practices . I went to level 6 and saw many people ... preparing themselves for audition . Wonder when i will see Raymond ? Today there was this Pipa girl ... YeoYee's friend , she came for the audition ... Well , i dunno what ... but we just didnt have this connection at all ... kinda felt cold .

Played at the computer lab ... with SiHan and again , i lost ... Practiced with Sharon , Gabriel and LiYang . We had to rehearse at the empty space outside the stairway . It was ... warm and i sat beside this really smelly dustbin . LiYang also smelt that horrible pungent aroma ... right ... and i couldnt take it . Sharon conducted the piece ... and thus it sounded better . Before that , we were in the percussion studio . Then , the other year 2 MOE teachers were all talking to me ... and asking me to play something because , i dunno where they heard from , that im very good . Maybe not , but good to work with ... because i can generate ideas , and at least i know how to improvise . I hate it when the performer just plays deadly according to the scores . Well , so i played something ... then this girl asked me whether i know Thomas and ShunHong . Please , who wouldnt ? They were my seniors ... or just some people a year or two older than me . Then she said that they were flirts , well ... i can tell ... Well , some people just wouldnt know how good or bad they are ... and yet they think they rule the world . Some people would just think that they know more things ... and they wouldnt need to study in NAFA to know everything that we've studied . Well ... maybe thats the case , but ... thanks , no need for the show-off sessions right ? ACS bastards are like that ... Im speechless , or ive already said enough ... ?

Sharon's piece was just in time , 3 min long . And , i had a hard time playing the last few bars ... because its all the artificial harmonics and the high notes ... in short time values ... and coming in at unaccented beats and ... offbeats . Well , i think she might score pretty well .

Went to slack at the lounge . Didnt know the access-course people were all there ... i brought Andy there to do his theory . Again , he went crazy . But then , before that ... some people went home ... like Melissa , Jeremy and gang . Well , then i taught Andy . Fairul came and said that i cant teach and stuff ... but in the end , Andy did very well . So , im a good teacher ! Then , since Andy knows how to do already ... so i helped him do abit of his work to save the time ... so i could help him with more of his other parts .

Then ate with Sebestian and Richard after they practiced . Poor boys are so stressed about their principal studies with Angeline . Well , she is fierce right ? Im not very sure ... But , i think thats good isnt it ? Then Richard went home first ... because he has to eat at home . So i ate with Andy and Sebestian . Now , time to bitch about Sebestian . Well , he's another Jovan or Noozli case ... a punky kid with yet a different soul inside . Just a facade of his appearance , he's a little ... nice guy inside . I bullied him just now while playing games . Then this other people in the computer lab started saying that im cute ... because i made so much noise and i was wearing my hairband for awhile because my hair was hanging down .

Now my MSN has this Ju-On picture , and it freaked many people out before . I havent blogged about this before ... because i couldnt remember to . Well , this freaky pictures i got , has freaked many people out , and people like Audrey had to close my display picture to talk to me . Some yelled ... and some complained . Then now , Breno scolded me ... and asked me to change my picture . I dun get it ... it looks fine to me ... Anyway , finally ... i know how Breno looks like . He looks decent ...

Felt so bad for pulling Sebestian back to play games with me . He has principal study tomorrow ... and sadly , i dun think he practiced enough . So he wanted to go home early ... and have a good night sleep , but i pulled him back ... and i taught him and Andy some aural hearing . Well , they cant hear ... and its fine , Sebestian could hear a little , Andy needs some help .

So thats it , and dun be afraid of playing on stage . Like i heard from some today that they are afriad to play on stage , because they will feel the stress ... and if they play a wrong note , thats it . Well , for me ... nobody can play like i do , so i play how i play . So Sebestian , only u can play like urself , so just play it .

Recieved mails from Gary and Mike . Well , obviously its all about administrative stuff again . Im too busy with Dad's stuff ... i dun think ive much time to do anything for the orchestra now . Ive done quite alot already ... writing pieces , calling people up , checking money , giving out scores , sending emails , publicising the concert and even playing for little performances . Well , but i know its insignificant , but its little efforts that ive put in . This Sunday , everybody has to write a list of things that they've done for the orchestra and show Mike . Well , i think he doubt the committment of the committee members . But if thats the case ... i really dunno what to show him . I'll admit that ive been doing it ... not whole heartedly , but with a sense of duty .
