Prodigal

Well , love hurts indeed .

Anyway , no need for the eyecandies already , because ... i can already feel the sweetness . But , i fogot to say ... im diabetic .

Today was tiring . Another long day in CSCO ... practiced like crazy , and Mike arranged this new seating arrangement . All the principal players of the TanBo section all sits in the middle , so that the sound will generate from there ... not really sure how it goes , but then JiaJin wants YiLeng to sit beside him , or vice versa , so he requested for Mike to change the arrangement alittle . Well , how sweet ... ?

Anyway , let me promote the concert here . This coming concert is a 10th year anniversary concert of CSCO , thus the programmes are ... powerful . The concert will be held at Singapore's Conference Hall , and it will start at 8pm . The tickets are selling at a rather high price of $18 this time ... because its for fund raising ... for the Australia competition next year . For the government schools ... they cannot get this form which will allow them to redeem back 60% of the ticket money from their own school . Anyway , the programmes are followed as such ... a traditional piece with a grand opening ... in this piece , u'll hear traditional drum solo episodes . This piece has a mixture of other elements ... like the TeoChew , so its not entirely Chinese in nature . Anyway , the next piece will be a Dizi double concerto . This will be interesting ... usually this piece either comes in a Dizi ensemble or ... just a trio or duet , but this time the composer wrote it in a form of a concerto for two Dizis , and this piece was premiered in Singapore by our very own Woodwind instructor , TonyAng . Following the Dizi concerto , is another concerto . This time , its world premiere . PhoonYewTian , famous local composer both in the Western and Chinese music circle . He wrote this piece for HuangZhiGuang , virtuoso Suona player . And he will be guest musician , and thus playing this piece with us . This new piece is fresh and has elements of both Western and Chinese . Very repetitive , and the key is always modulating . Well ... the material is adapted from tradition folk songs . After that is an interval ... Anyway , the programme for the first half is already about ... 30 min . Kinda short ... but , the next half is longer . The next piece is a suite , consisting of 3 movements . Composed by another local composer , LuoWeiLun . Ive played several pieces by him before , and his styles are distinctive . Melodic in nature ... and harmonic structure has his own styles . Modulation is simple , and obvious . Well , this suite was premiered in HongKong , and never in Singapore , so we are locally premiering this suite . The piece has its material and theme based on the sea ... thus u can hear many wave-like effects in both musically and technically . The next piece is something like an orchestral piece , played by SCO before only . And this piece is very nice , abstract in nature . Well , another piece with the composer's very own artistic styles of writing . Last year we played his piece before in our concert , and it was very well acclaimed . So , hopefully this time it'll be better . Last piece is a grand rather traditional suite or fantasia by the late PengXuiWen . This piece might bring some peopel to sleep . Well , in order to really appreciate Chinese music , one must not just look out for technical stuff , like listening to the forms and stuff ... I think the audience should feel the taste of Chinese music . The imperfection of Chinese music , and its flaws ... are indeed , its beauty . So , imagine the scene that the music is describing to u ... and taste the performing styles of the Chinese instruments . Of course there is the encore ... and i will not tell u what it is ... because the pieces arent very easy either . Hopefully , some NAFA peeps will come watch ... well , i wont force those who hesitate or arent really willing to come . But , if u are interested ... please approach me , really appreciate it . Thanks ...

After practice , went to eat at Breeks with Jasmine and Sharon . Raymond went to look for his friend ... And in Breeks , it was hell . Jasmine and Sharon went to withdraw money , and so i was alone in the restaurant , fixing Dad's ring . Still cant manage to do crap about it , hopefully tomorrow somebody will help me . When they were back , i dunno why ... we were suddenly looking at Jasmine's IC . I was wicked , i took it and stuck it on the window . And outside are passerbys , and they were looking the IC . Sharon was laughing like hell . It was really funny ... because the IC looks weird . And then the student pass even worst ... There was this funny group of guys who saw the IC ... and then one ran back with a phone , wanting to take a picture . Its fun to see such people . Well , i think WeiLiang are those types . Anyway , then while eating our lasagna , many jokes and funny expressions came through my mind . Really cant think what was so funny about the meal ...

After that , went to shop for Sharon's VCD , and my CDs . So , meanwhile ... i was again speaking in dialects . And that sends them both into laughters . I kept repeating this phrase ... i think Jasmine and Sharon sure can still remember it .

Walked to CityLink and into HMV . Well , the CDs there are expensive . And i was walking around looking for some CDs ... like The Choirboys . Well , i bought some ... and Jasmine and Sharon was stopping me , in the end , they were taking CDs and telling me this looks nice and that looks nice ... So i bought more than i intended to . So , i spent another $90 on CDs today , and $21 on a meal in Breeks . I used the CSCO money ... because i didnt bring enough , but dun worry ... i paid back already , because afterall its in my wallet . Well , i wont swallow any CSCO's money , no worries .

Anyway , i cant handle money affiars , i think MiYan should do it .

Now , or always , im a broke man . I think i shall go shop for clothes . Maybe im a shaggy dresser ... i dun doll myself up like others and i dun intend to , because i know i wont look good . So , who cares ... ? I shall just be myself .

Tomorrow is the commuter concert of Chinese music . YuJia will be performing ... im so excited . Samuel and WeiLing might come down tomorrow ... so long havent seen them . Well , tomorrow will be a day i'll look forward to .

Jasmine said that my blog is getting boring . Well , im not pretty sure how boring it has gotten , but i must agree that sometimes i dun really have much to blog about ... so i pick certain topics to crap . Anyway , i know ... its boring ... but at least it keeps my blog to a minimum of at least a few hundred words . I have a copy of all my original posts in a wordpad , and its a few hundreds page long if i were to print it . Which one day i will ... and i shall bind it too ... but before that , i shall go edit all my posts of mistakes , be it spelling or grammatic . Ask me for a copy if u want ... which leads to this question ... What for ?
