everything is over all of a sudden.. back to the reality of studying life.. the boring one.. =( although until now i still dun have the motivation and mood to start doing my tutorials or study whatever think tt i have missed and dun understand at all.. =/
okie, lets talk abt my last concert.. the very last one.. dun think will have another chance anymore so actually i think its quite a sad thing.. =( although i have to admit tt the whole journey was really tough and more of downs than ups.. haizz... saddening stuffs...
start of the day was late for co.. but anyway a lot of ppl were late also so nvm la.. most of us like si qi chen chen leh.. sian.. not like last yr.. haiz.. went to SCH in a very cramp bus cause its all filled up instruments.. reach SCH and morning prac went slow but smoothly.. finally we had play through cao yuan and guan xian fully without stopping.. was feeling quite sleepy throughout cause the song is slow and i gt a lot of bars to rest..
went for lunch.. hmm.. not bad.. same as last yr de dinner.. erm.. nothing much happen during the afternoon prac also.. just tt atmosphere was still a bit dead.. it was full dress rehearsal and we have different tie colours for different sections! =) guan yue one is lime green! hahaa.. i think its not bad with our black attire.. but the concept is like the band one.. but nvm lah, its nice! =) very soon, it was dinner agn.. lol.. time flies in SCH.. we had our very last minute to chiong and prac the parts we not very gd at.. okie.. i dunno wad happen, dun understand y, but it is definitely weird not talking to somebody suddenly.. the loss of words, awkwardness between us, distant draws further and further ever since after syf.. i really dun like tt.. and i wish to know why.. was glad tt there was juniors and another alumni there to cover up and lifted the atmosphere abit..
night falls, time is getting nearer to the actual concert.. lots of others are getting a bit higher.. busy doing make up and doing up their hair.. this year din have anyone to do our hair.. so yea.. i din bother having make up on but just spray some glitter.. hahaa.. but it was too little den md help me spray blue colour! lol! omg! somebody said i look like 'ah lian'.. =X i was in quite a confusion cause i din put the tickets at the counter.. haiz.. din handle this well and had to rush out to pass the tickets to some others to help me..
concert starts! first song, bei jing xi xun.. hmm.. was okie.. din played quite well for the xin di part.. wasn't in the right mood i guess.. second song was lovism arranged by ser yang.. din get to hear the full version though but i like some of the songs like guan huai fang shi.. =) remind me of some memories.. third song was wu tian lan diao.. a chui da sectional song.. a bit of unstable at first but went alright after tt.. =) i quite like the melody but its repetitive.. composed by lin lao shi! i wonder wad is the comment for this song.. fourth song was cao yuan xiao jie mei.. huirong rocks! she is super gd.. our pipa soloist.. =) but we shld all feel a bit guilty for not able to play better as accompaniment.. next was intermission! went out to look for some friends and juniors! =) mood turn much better after seeing them! really glad to have my classmates for supporting and the juniors too for all their flowers and present! =D after intermission, back to stage for our last performance.. guan xian was nice but draggy.. i am still very amazed by the suo na part most! hahaa.. think he is damn pro.. lion king was a bit slow but alright.. its a nice song anyway.. den here comes the last song which a lot are waiting for! our stunning syf choice piece di er ming zu!!! okie.. i am actually quite looking forward to this song cause its our syf choice piece and also a piece where i dun have to rest so long and bored.. hmm.. glad we din really play too badly for this song! haha.. although most think it wasn't as gd as syf tt time.. but i think i was okie.. =) relieve tt i finally played correctly for tt part of the song.. din wanted to play it at first de.. nvm.. finally had our encore piece of mama hao.. our conductor said a few words before tt and its actually quite touching.. haha.. i mean true la.. so everything just come to an end with our second encore of di er agn.. when the last note end, i already started to feel quite sad.. i dun think i have the chance to ever go up there agn.. SCH is a place tt i have been visiting quite frequently in the last month.. so yea.. a bit sad..
went out to look for friends + collect ticket money + took photos.. =) feel quite bad for not caring abt my dad.. haha.. he is so nice to come on his own alone to watch my concert.. xD the one who supports me all along to start this co journey.. went back to sch after tt and to mac with some random ppl.. reached home at 1 plus dead tired.. had some trouble washing my blue stained hair.. lol.. =/
didn't take a lot of photos this year.. atmosphere wasn't the same too.. so kind of a yi han ba.. =( everything just end too abruptly.. whats left is only emptiness and memories..
my classmates! =D
ahsco juniors + senior! xD
my dear friends! jting and yingsi!! <3
i love dizis!
lastly, the guan yue (but not complete)!

yeah! long weekend! xD but its going to be over soon.. =( haven been having enough rest for the past few weekssss... so finally i am getting back my slp.. =D but ar... neglected my hw and tests and lectures.. hehee.. no mood to do also.. =P been slacking too much already.. need to get back my momentum soon! i can't wait for holidays to come!! 3 more weeks to go!
okie.. i shall start with last mon, the rehearsal day.. =) had to reach sch early in the morning and prepared to go to SCH for rehearsal but den it rained.. =X rehearsal went quite smoothly i guess.. we had 4 hours in there from 9am to 1pm! o.O wad a long time and its like damn expensive i think! 1hr alr a few thousands le.. =/ somemore time spend there wasn't very efficient also lah.. conductor spend almost an hour to prac the erhu how to change their erhu.. lol.. went back to sch after tt and watched the video taken for rehearsal.. den it was sectionals and i think a lot of us gt quite high.. hahaha.. not only our section but other section too.. x) we need to prac taifeng so we went crazy with it! exaggerate all the actions and blow out loud.. the cello ppl carry up their cellos and play it like a guitar! lol! damn funny.. but it was really enjoyable.. =) also enjoyed the day without sch! xD haha.. the feeling tt there was no lessons and all abt co like mon was great! :D
tues was our final practice.. not too much of prac.. but din played as well arh.. but not impt anymore.. our morale and everything else is quite high.. =) our pres had a long long long talk before we end.. so we end prac at 7pm and he talked until 8pm plus.. lol! our senior came back to help us re-paste all the dimo for ard 14 dizis and this took all the way until 10pm!! o.O zzZZzZzzzz.. this is 1 day before syf.. hahaa.. anyway, i din really slp tt night also.. not because i feel too nervous or excited leh.. was busy doing something for my friend.. din really complete in the end but i am satisfied with my artwork! hahaa.. x) slpt at ard 3.30 and need to wake up by 4.30 to go sch! had to reach sch by 5.45am.. =/ tired....
SYF! : it started raining halfway when i almost reached sch.. =( got a bit drenched.. okie.. so early in the morning when everyone else is getting nervous, we played through the 2 pieces once more.. had to prepare early and go to SCH.. i think we are really kiasu sia.. need to reach by 9am and we reached at ard 8 plus am.. super early lor.. but its a gd measure to avoid the morning jam.. *excited* haha.. maybe cause due to lack of slp, i was getting a bit high ar.. finally, the time reached... we are the third group to perform.. was feeling alright when we are still outside unlike others.. ;) but ar.. the time inside flew! before i really get ready and prepared, the first song started! suddenly my heart start to pump like mad.. fingers were trembling due to the coldness and nervous? and air blown was shaky.. =XXX feel tt i din played well for my first few bars.. =( din do up to the expected.. everything just happen too fast and the second song started!! the fearful song tt everyone is scared of cause we need to count the bars from head to toe like crazy! cannot miss! started quite okie and my friend was really impressive with her solo part.. those going concert will hear tt! =) by this time i have calmed down a bit le.. but still carefully counting my bars.. following strictly to the rythem.. hear some of the other solo parts and they were great! esp the suonas who did especially wonderful tt day! =) i love the erhu jazz part most.. haha.. the way they move is very nice! xD whoo~! okie.. maybe cause i was listening to them to their music and counting so hard tt i was quite tense up and nv really relax to enjoy the music.. towards the bad gt a bit huang and some mistakes.. =(( hopefully it wasn't obvious.. there it goes, just the 10 plus mins on stage was over! felt a bit upset tt i din played my best but yet relieved tt it was over!
managed to stay back in SCH to listen to the rest of the other schs.. =) heard pjc play feng nian ji! haha.. i just think our fnj, ahsco i mean was the best and the greatest! <3>
btw, i saw junle at SCH there doing part time! hahaa.. so coincidence.. =) okie.. so break for lunch.. my section went further out to eat at raffles city.. sat there to discuss abt the judging this year.. took a long time and finally back for the results.. so miss the afternoon section de performances.. =( saw some vj friends! :D yeah! really glad to see ppl familiar ard.. too bad we can't have a full group photo of the ahs ppl! =(
okie.. then here comes the super nervous part.. the results! we had to wait very long before the results are out.. so during tt time, band syf results came out and i feel quite sad for them also.. lots of friends there and they must be crying and very sad.. =(( heart ache for them too.. i'm sure they did their best le! can't wait for their concert too! at tt time, we were all afraid we will be like them, the fate of tj performing arts this year is really quite bad.. so naturally we were scared too.. knowing tt this year competition was really stiff.. although we receive gd comments but still.. finally, when the mcee mentioned the "rong yu jin, gold with honours!" cheers covered the whole SCH! happy happy! xD further on, 4 more other schs were awarded gwh too.. and yup, all deserve it! tjco and ajco started cheering loudly when we were out of the hall.. cause both of our conductor, huang sheng, schs gt gwh! i think he is damn imba! although i am scared of him, dun really like him in the past, but i think he is really a gd conductor who knows how to manage an orchestra.. the way he handle things to some extent i agree.. like wad he said in the last few days.. "we shall not look at the medal, respect for each other is more impt, its the process"
we stayed on in SCH for a long time to spam photos randomly cause everyone was overwhelmed with the happiness.. :D as for me, sadly to say, i have to admit i wasn't as excited or agitated like i wad used to feel.. well.. yea.. indeed i was happy but i feel numb to the results.. nvm abt tt.. so finally after we left, we headed for vivo city the large area at the top for some celebrations.. huang sheng treated us to snacks and drinks.. =) tt's our dinner u see.. hahaa.. some played catching and there we are, just sit down and talked till night falls and celebrated my friend's bday! i think the result to her is the best bday present le.. =)
now tt syf is over, no more late practices, no more intensive training, no more dinners together.. the abruptly suddenly makes me feel empty.. =X i think its cause the last few days together, the 3 days together was really enjoyable.. i really really finally felt into the co.. tt's the way i have been wanting to have.. the process, the bondedness, the enjoyment, the common goal, the heart and mind together... wah.. finally gd memories which i will rmb.. =)
let the memories carry on for another week when we chiong for concert alright? let it end in a beautifully way..
TJCO clinched!
wonderful section - DIZIS!

TJCO GWH!!! YEAH! WE DID IT! xD tjco clinched AGAIN...
yup.. i am happy that we have gotten gwh! xD was quite worried and afriad tt we can't obtian tt cause quite some other schs are also very strong.. this year competition is really stiff.. with the introduction of dhs and rv.. hahaa.. so in total there were 5 gwh, which is considered quite a lot cause there are only 16 schs.. these include hci, dhs, nyj, aj, and of course tj! =) all gt their own strong points also and each of their choice piece were splendid! shall elaborate abt the rest of the details another day cause i am super duper tired today.. only slpt for an hour last night from ard 3.30am to 4.30am.. =/ coz need to reach sch by 5.45am! yup... so its a happy and joyful day today afterall! though i dun experience too much excitement like the rest.. think i felt much more happier 2 yrs back when ahsco obtained our gold.. although it was just a gold but the feelings and emotions were beyond desciption of words..

oh no.. its kind of late now and i have to get up super early in the morning to get to sch by 6.30am.. =X i still can't slp.. partially due to my 2hrs nap in the afternoon and tt i dun wan to slp cause of lots of things undone... procrastinating too much over the weekend although it was a short one.. had practice on fri and sat which lasted until quite late on sat..
sat was a tiring day.. slpt at 4am the night before.. =X dun scold me pls.. sometimes just dun feel like slping and i am enjoying the peace and quietness late in the night.. =) but it will result in the tiredness the next day.. maybe tt's wad i want to... trying to run away from reality.. bad bad..
we din really play well on sat and gt some scolding from conductor.. but after a while he calmed down and talk to us.. i think wad he say really makes sense.. giving our best, respecting each other and afterall its the process that counts.. although we all know tt we wan tt medal... recently the co has become much more of a co i have been hoping for.. at least much better than before.. all the encouragement and attempts for bonding together.. isn't tt great and much better? lets hope all these are not too late.. however, i dun find myself joining in the morale of the rest and feel for the change.. it has been quite relaxing and easy going for me for the last few practices actually.. is tt good? i am not stress at all!! and i think this is the worrying thing.. =( i dun feel as much for syf as i used to do so, not like the rest also.. is it cause i dun care? i dun know.. i hope not but i feel so.. =/ to me, i am already numb by the practices and take it quite easy going.. it may be a gd thing ar? i am confident already like wad ppl have always been wanting to instill in me? not in a right feeling, not in a correct way.. nvm.. i need to stop thinking abt these..
haven study for my econs test on tues!! dead.. haven do maths and chem tutorials which will be scolded by tutors for sure.. =/ most imptly i have been dragging and not progressing on the thing i wan to do for a friend whose bday is on syf.. o.O 2 more days left.. =/
