Actually i wanted to start off with blog with ' i reached the concert hall more than half an hour before the concert starts but i was yet.'
Nice oxymoron huh.l lol . but no. i shan't, it shall go like this:
I remember when i woke up , i was feeling abit WTH?! because i remembered this very weird dream of mine. and it's really weird. i think it didn't even involve me at all.
Well..i'm just gonna name the people, don't know who they are? ask me.
i dreamed that Mr Ng was giving Vincent(trumpet) some audition on trumpet(of course), and Vincent seem rather confused and stress, and deep in my mind i was thinking. WHY ?!? i thought he is in the band liao, why have audition or something like that??
ok... that's a very short part, but that's what i could remember as far as i know, until my mum woke me up for school.
yes speaking about school.. the best sleep i had so far was between 10th to 11th january becausei slept a total of 10 hours ^_^ though it's split into 5 , 5. but still! good sleep!
School was -.-. i only have Econs to attend today(or rather, yesterday). and i have to wake at 6, when the lesson starts at er.. 11.30 or 11 ? lol.Seen next week's time table. nutty. Monday end at 5.30pm. LOL!
Reached home at about 3 + 4 +? oh. cool right at this point i remember this thing i wanna mention a few days ago, same thing, when i was going home, crossing the road from causeway point to the other side of the road, i was listening to barnes third symphony, when the whole thing end. i HEARD a motorcycle's sound, and my mind was ' FREAK, i'm dead meat' because i jay walk and i thought i'm gonna get bang down,heart pumping like mad, only to realise it's a one way path and the motorcycle is like way in front of me(in another words,i'm as safe as a goat eating grass[yes, bad analogy]).
ok continue, i reached home bla blabal . left house. try to get back phone, to no avail. went to esplanade. thought of looking for flute scores, gave up half way. and then get food ate finish saw mr tan pass me ticket ...
and the rest is/are history.(ask me to find out more)
The concert was welll.... excellent i will say .for such a big band which is really rather unusual for japan bands as they go for small bands , neat, clean playing. well, tell me if i'm wrong, it's really good to see a huge japan band and yet attaining the same effect =). fabulous.
But like everyone say. japan = very robot-like. so thus, you know what i mean ~ shan't say much. very good playing and everything. just one thing i don't like. too much gimmicks. i couldn't really take it T_T. i mean, yes. gimmicks keep the audience high and everything, but then. besides the GENERAL PUBLIC, hi hi~ there's the serious concert-goers who wanna listen to real music~ yooooooo. the only more serious ones were festive overture and the first song which i missed or i didn't really miss.the rest were all gimmicks and everything. ahhh..
ok fine. so they are good.bla ~good piccolo , bad piccolo :) , simple . good tone,good technique. balance off.clarissa was sitting beside me and she could predict what i was thinking -.-"
It's really cool to see the Japanese Band's teachers-in-charge being the emcees for the night and speak really good english . speaking of japanese, reminds me of our trip.
Mr Kwek was mentioning it to the JC1s about the trip and subsidise. and i was so excited cuz of the subsidise but in the end. dung, i cant apply for the damn thing, meaning to say high chance not going japan since im leaving the school soon, maybe i can try saving up huh. let's see. if fly on 30th may, now is 12th january,there's 19 weeks to go. if i don't spend my pocket money AT ALL for 19 weeks, i might just save up enough to go for the trip. =( i think it's quite hard. ah well...
still hoping if i can go. looking at the band makes me feel that. going japan is really a must.i don't think other than this opportunity i will be going to japan for band stuffs any time soon. maybe the next time i get to go is i TEACHING not i LEARNING . lol, sounds like an arrogant asshole huh =X. but you know!!!! just predicting the future.. ahh welll..it's 2.30am. gu nai(good night, improper pronounciation of clement lim (: )
