hehh. whoever who didn't see the prev entry too bad. poof and it has disappeared forever into the annals of umm. blogger history? anw i have decided to humour myself by blogging. okay partly bcos people are persuading to blog. although i don't get why i was supposed to be dead two weeks ago.
:) my first goal in fifa '05 is such a BEAUTIFUL goal. it was chelsea vs doncaster..a sure-win match for chelsea if not for the fact that i was playing world-class mode and that it was one of my first attempts to play fifa. anyway. someone fouled robben and the ref gave a freekick. my freekick hit the wall and a defender booted it out to somewhere near the halfway line where john terry was lurking. john terry beat the striker to the ball. andandandandand! he muscled the striker away, dribbled forward a little and with a fine touch of his left boot, transferred the ball to his right boot and swivelled to the left slightly and pushed away his marker. and then! he hit the ball, straight from about 5m from the halfway line. and it zipped past the heads of the defenders who were watching it. haha the expressions on their faces- priceless! they were like: omg is that really the ball? the goalkeeper was even better. he saw it too late and he was off his line. so he dived and at that exact moment the ball sailed over his head into goal. all this while my brother was telling me, "the ball won't go in." and it did! it's something my brother has certainly never done before and i have claimed bragging rights. heh. i just realised that i am rhapsodising way too much about a goal. =p
*grins* anw today i had quartet practice! i feel like such a failure after it. but i love quartet anyway. there's this sense of intimacy and warmth about the harmony between the instruments that you can never get when playing in an ensemble. sigh but i still feel like a failure. bcos all of my fellow players are so PRO. the cellist is assistant sl of hc strings, the violist is sl of rj strings, the first violinist..umm concertmaster of hc strings. [i guess you all know who it is] eurgh. i'm not supposed to be in such established company. if my brother had his way of course the concertmaster of rj strings would be doing first violin..but no, the person in charge had to ask for me. HAHAHA. it is not amusing i assure you. but the pieces are nice. and we all generally agree that canon is overrated and one of the worst pieces on earth. umm. we're playing bach's air on g string, canon *coughs*, suite and light! ohh how i love suite and light. esp thoroughly modern varnish. and the groovy strings thing. very rock and roll-ish. soap has a really nice melody too. heh and during the break when the person in charge was writing out viola score for another piece, for some reason they started playing rigaudon. :) my bro played solo and i was the one plucking the first violin part. okayy so all of them with the exception of me are PRO. very zai. this experience has got me hooked onto playing quartet again. the only other time i played with them was after their o's and my psle..which is umm. one year and a few mths ago? i love playing quartet okay so i think i have said that but trust me, those who have never played in a quartet before will never know the magic of doing so. QUARTET! ahahahah. my brother so lucky. got to form hcjc strings quartet. it's called mystique. oh and playing quartet helps one to nurture musicianship as well as bond with fellow quartet players! quartet also have a list of pieces that they can immediately select and play for functions...this is called shu2 lian4. and the camaraderie between the players is also very obvious. sighh.
falling in love with tchaik string quartet.
