hmm yesterday was certainly busy. but then again, "busy" would be an understatement xP
the competition...UHH. I screwed it up majorly but lol it was good experience. and I realised that shuwen my ex-rgp/netball senior was really nice. she lent me her file to stuff my score in because my useless bits of paper flapped around uselessly. stayed to watch that st. nick's student perform. the melody was heartwrenchingly beautiful; not the conventional type of shu qing chinese pop you listen to; but despite that it still touches the heart. very unorthodox harmony too but I loved it so much I actually stayed to watch even though wl/kellie/val/yufang went off already.
rushed down for concert reh xD ate with andrea and sam. dinner tasted lousy as hell and I gave up trying to eat. but it was quite amusing to watch the choir members get creative and tear off part of the cover and use it as a spoon. rested briefly and changed into sandals so ahh my walking function would not be sufficiently impaired. sam and I walked to esplanade and went to the library there; it really is quite amazing despite the fact that I couldn't find certain definitive recordings of great works like du pre's recording of dvorak's cello concerto. I listened to previn's tango and faure's sonata no1 played by anne-sophie mutter. x) browsed around a bit and found a sufficiently interesting recording of beethoven's tempest and waldstein sonatas. one particularly fascinating piece was kreisler's syncopation played by gidon kremer ahh the structure is quite boring yeah but I love its rhythm. before a (very patient indeed) sam hurried me back I had quite enough time to listen to souvenir de florence hahahaha. hmm on our way back we stopped at the river. what an indelible image. the lights from the streetlamps; dipping and dancing among the ripples of the water. the inky blackness of the water. seeing the water lap gently against the shore (well maybe technically not shore) and sam being reminded of "soil erosion". seeing the waters recede and roll back once more; uniform in its fate. glancing at the cloud-covered sky; still a somewhat musky blue and the clouds fading, trying to blend.
we jaywalked across the road to vch (oooooh jaywalking gives me an adrenaline high xP) and made a detour to victoria theatre. arrived back a good bit before the second half where we were due to play.
my brother and his friends are somewhat insane and hyper. lol. even that is an understatement. haha they arrived back not long after us and I couldn't really stand all that hyperness so sam/andrea/brenda and I went off - this time to the circle seats. the usher was unbelievably grumpy. usher: "do you have your...tickets?" me: "uhh...we're up here to..uhh...enjoy the sights." well I certainly do prefer quiet talking/thinking/silence to loud exuberant spirits. ahh well. the concert itself, as I said before, gave me a lot of insights but also experience. lol. wanted to shoot the whole bunch of adults at the end though because they held us back for so long. grrr. waste of my time; but sam was right; mrs mohd would give an arm to record the "speech" about the importance of hwanghe LOL. supper w my family after that (bcos of lousy dinner hahaha) but I was quite sleepy so I couldn't really think anymore.
haha lol gg off to play UT I think; or something else; not sure xD
