Solitude

Listening to Vienna Boy's Choir , and its really good . Young boys singing ... well , sounds like heaven .

Anyway , today was fun . Had choir with DrGoh ... and he was in a really good mood . Though the Altos didnt perform quite well , he didnt flare . Well , who would like to see him get angry ? Nobody . We were marching on the spot while singing ... and had fun laughing at his jokes . Williana sang the solo part , instead of the Tenors , whom obviously cannot sing that part properly . WeiDa has a huge voice ... thus , there isnt much choice left ... but to pass it to someone else . So , today's choir was fun . Went through the pieces , and there'll be a test next week . RenQuan was very bad , he started scolding me all the bad words that Jovan taught him ... maybe i also taught him some . Anyway , Edric has this ear ring that symbolises a sperm , he said that its meant to help increase his sperm count . Well ... right ...

After choir , had ensemble with MrYeo . He was funny ... we were laughing at silly things . Anyway , went through some scores ... and im told to play the Pipa pieces next time . I wore the ring on my toe , with my toe socks . Anthea bought the same one ... so i wore it on my toe instead . Kinda revolutionary ... ? I think it looked disgusting ... but i didnt care .

Had practice with LiYang and Gabrial in the percussion studio . Well , it was kinda messy ... indeed , hell messy . Nobody knew their parts well ... and i just followed the rhythm , which is the most important . My notes ... i'll look into detail tomorrow . Gabriel was so busy counting his own parts , and LiYang was super busy trying to find her pitch . Me ... ? I was busy looking around at my entry .

Commuter concert was ... fun . YuJia came today and she played a solo . I think the best programme would have to be QuJianQing's solos . They were abstract and of great standard . In fact , many of the NAFA peeps kinda fell in love with the YangQin . Sharon told me that it sounded pretty nice . Honestly , i think YuJia and XuHui's instruments are ... old and doesnt sound that nice . YuJia was still as diva as she already is ... and her playing was great . Saw YouGuo with Samuel and WeiLing ... well the seniors , didnt wanna join in ... because i'll be a fish out of water . XuHui's playing was sensitive . Her dynamics have a drastic contrast ... she played really soft and yet really loud at times . I loved the duet ... the last programme , a Zheng and Pipa duet . Anyway , was a great concert ... ? I went backstage and said hello to YuJia , and she said greeted me in English . Adams was speaking to them in English ... and obviously not one of them could understand him completely . QuJianQing was kinda fine , she replied in English to Adams when he thanked them for coming . Well ... it was fun , though many fell asleep i guess .

Had a long practice with Sharon and LiYang . She needed me to go through her parts , because i play mostly ... her notes . Well , the practice was long , because LiYang couldnt find her notes . She is a good vocalist , and she can reach very high notes without much effort . She couldnt find her notes because its all in augmented intervals ... and what im playing isnt what she'll be singing , it might be a minor second away . Well , it was complicating . Sharon's piece is atonal , and i must say that LiYang's parts are really hard . She was funny , she kept telling me not to be so crazy , because i was very obsessed with my playing .

Had fun playing the Piano with Jeremy . Poor boy has to wait for Fairul ... and he went off first in the end , because it took him too long . Fairul's rehearsal ended rather late ... so , too bad . Jeremy was ... bullied by Daniel today , poor boy . Well , he's a poor boy , right ?

Then after that , had fun playing 'Canon in D' with Audrey , on the synthesizer . The synthesizer generates and modifies sounds electronically and can imitate a variety of other musical instruments ... u know ? Well , we played in so many versions , and it just kept going on and on and on ... till HuiQi told her to stop . Then SiHan told me that some people are gonna get kicked out of school because they have outside engagements ... without informing the school , or head of music ... which is Adams . So , i went to ask Alan and Daniel ... then they scolded SiHan because it isnt true . Anyway , for safety purposes ... YongRui and i would go sign the form and let Adams know too .

Waited to Sebestian , then together with Fhairil , we took bus 851 . Before that , Samuel , SiHan , YongRui and Mark came together ... and we settled outside 7-11 . We were buying food ... and entering again after finishing . SiHan bought so many things , and me too . In the end , bus 80 came first . Mark took the MRT , and YongRui left already . We sang on the bus ... and then Ivan came in , with his friend . Then we sang for them to hear ... we were really crazy on the bus . Then Fhairil told Sebestian the stories he told me before ... so meanwhile , i thought about tomorrow's schedule . Well , think im gonna practice with Sharon again tomorrow . Or else ... i think i'll go be productive and do some work . Lecture will be held by Karen tomorrow , because ... MrYap has gone for reservice .

When things are gone , they are gone , and no wind can carry them back . Let the rain wash away the pain ... and let it cover the prints left on the sand ... for that they bring back sad memories . Well , things are pretty well over . And now , i think it might be time for something new . Something ... i havent quite tried before ... Come on WeiKang , do something . If not , then maybe Sharon's piece will mean a different meaning ... and it'll imply to me , as solitude already does .
