tjco concert: song sheng zhu yun 2005!

wah~ today was great! ok, i woke at around 8.40am and i prepared to go to school.

my dad fetched me to school and i reached there at around 10.30am in my white long-sleeved shirt (sleeve folded up), black pants and leather shoes. then the dizi section practiced at the 2nd floor because the alumni was using the co room and there was temasek academy open house. so we practiced till around 12 i think when xu guang told eveyone to pack up. we moved all the percussion instruments and stringed instruments onto the truck. then all of us got onto the bus and we went off to singapore conference hall.

by the time we got there, ichun had already reached liao (she had an appointment with the doctor this morning.). so we put our stuff into a room and then they had rehearsal while people who were not involved in the pieces yet did our own things. so ichun and i hid at the stairs and practiced our pieces. we practiced until their break when we were found by the rest of the dizi people. then yuan xu asked ichun and me to buy some bread for those who are hungry. so we walked quite a bit and bought some bread and hum jin peng. so we brought back and then everything was ravaged by those pipa girls. i didn't know girls could have such big appetites. lolz. it's ok la, then we went in for the rehearsal for the encore pieces.

after that we had dinner. after dinner, ichun and i went to man the ticketing booth with the help of jiayi and meihui. wah...it was total chaos! there were dunno how many people and so many money transactions! oh! my mum and my bro came! ed and qi en came a while later! well, at least we got the right amount of money. total amount received was $1602 i think. wah, never handle so much cash before. talked to my supporters during the interval before going backstage.

after some more waiting, it was finally our turn to perform! we managed to pull the 2 encore pieces off! ureshi~after that, we packed up and went back to tj. dunno y like even though there's more things to move as compared to band, the workload seems to be much lighter and done more efficiently. i think it's the attitude ba. even the girls did their best to move as much as they can.

after everything, some of us went to mac for supper with some alumni. we met the some of the other people there. we talked cock again. hahaz. i guess it's just part of co life. then we took cab home. wah first time seeing many of the alumni people.

thanks people like ed and qi en who showed their support! thanks zirui for the flower! thanks the sc ushers for the choc! thanks to all my dizi seniors (ok la, practically everyone else in dizi) for giving me guidance and putting ichun and me into the concert even though we've only touched the dizi for around 3 weeks. thanks everyone!

hahahaz. now everyone in dizi has got at least a nickname!
felicia: felix; felix-jie~
luuan chin: xiao chin-jie~
yuan xu: ah xu ge~; yuan yuan
xu guang: ah guang ge~; bunny
ichun: zhen si mei; junjun; hao du gui(avid gambler); xi jun(germs)

huh...today is probably the last time performing with the year 2's...so sad...everything seems so fast...

oh! i found my xing huan(uhh..new love)! it's called ba(1) wu(3). it looks like a dizi but it plays like a harmonica with key holes and the fingering is similar to a picolo's i think. i think it's in the dizi family. if we r going to play any song that has a part for ba wu i will fight for it! haha. it's quite easy to play la.

i'm sure there's going to be more excitement in co. well, until next time, cya~ oyasumi~
