SYCO concert 2009

Though there weren't as many activities for this year's sy compared to last time... or rather it wasn't possible for me to join in all of them... hahaha! BUT i think this year is a super memorable year. :)))

Didn't do many crazy things with the usual ppl... cos of work... But still the bond is there and ya.. actually i dun even need to say more abt it. I love my SYCO people. :) Ya... This year's concert was quite in a rush.. and it's really heart-warming (at least to me) to see so many ppl coming at 2pm to have a last min prac even without the conductor. We know that we haven't been doing our best all along. but the concert itself. Dong Hai was really out of expectation. surprisingly! haha. Tian Ying wasn't really that good.. dunno why i was kinda in a daze at the starting. and ya.. none of us came out correctly on our cue. lol. That was bad.

白毛女 is like my most not confident song... although there's like SCO teachers playing tgt.. this is the song i'm most unprepared for all these years of combined song.. i think i really didn't have enough time to practice properly... and didn't put in enough effort. sighs.

And sad that we didn't really have a lot of time to take pictures... And i realised that i didn't had any with Minhui at all! hmm.. u mean we nv met on the concert day? hahaha! And i actually took quite a few with joel.. weird right. i think it's the memory. hahaha. forgot took with who and then joel kept on appearing. that must be why. lol. Koh Minhui! Must take picture next time hor. haha!

Supper-ed with a lot of ppl after concert. Like one of the most ppl went event. haha! zhiwen, boyi, sylvia and desmond joined us too. :) Ya. and Mr Quek joined us too. Sat there for like a long long time. Wanted to leave that time Xiangle and Tingkai wanted to come over to find us... so in the end we sat there for even longer time. HAHA! We like went home at 1+am? can't really rmb. but ya.. cabbed with tingkai and via. Cool. I really love my syco ppl. :)

And ya.. dun need to say abt my post-concert syndrome again right. -.- First time like that!!! crazy. hahah. But nvm. Another 2 performances coming up! :) Quite excited.. both are going to be new experiences. Yeah. One at SYF Presentation. This is scary though.. it's with the GWH schools... omg. Of cos it sets us a bit worried for whatever is going to happen. We are going to show them we are better. isn't it?! Lol. Then next on is Botanic Gardens. No Beautiful Sunday this year. Not sure if will get to perform for the chamber one... hmm... oh wells.. :)

Lastly.. Some pictures. :)


Supposed to be the whole xian yue. but as u can see... some are missing. lol. dunno what they so busy with. tsk tsk.


The whole SYCO. Kinda crazy to get the picture taken. but last year's nicer. haha. more organised and ya. can see better too. But still look at this big family. :) <3


And ya... surprisingly i think this is the first single picture i ever taken with laoshi. Like after so many years of tutelage under him. lol. And that's when i'm already not having any lessons under him, privately or at sy. irony.

Yea. that's all! Have to update abt other things already. haha!

Birthday 2009

Thanks to all those who rmb... and thanks for all the wishes.. presents... and time spent with me! :))) I had lotsa fun for this year's bday! :)))

First of all was the picnic session with my Beloveds at Marina Barrage! Yeah! Finally we are there. Enjoying ourselves with food and nature (err... ok. man-made) =P First cake for bday this year! Nice chocolate cake from Chocz. Hee. As usual (except for last year), we celebrated Qin's and my bday tgt. A bit late for Qin and a bit early for mine. But still. i think everyone enjoyed and had fun out of the least we spent? :)

What we have:
  • A big mat and one small one.
  • Fried Beehoon
  • 123 Chicken Wings and Pork Chop
  • Mini Burgers
  • Egg Mayo Sandwiches
  • 4 Bottles of Drinks
  • Potato Chips
That's all... Eat and laugh... and take photos... A lot of ppl flying kites there.. nice. We went to sit under the canvas (or if u call that a canopy. haha) cos it was drizzling and we are going to eat u know. But good cos got shelter from the sun. hee. Nice background we have for the photo! :)


The 2 birthday girls! :)


Grp photo! Yeah. Where is horng horng and char????

Then met up with my dear JC friends too. They gave me a stack of Kinokuniya vouchers!! Yeah... ok. Not really a big stack lah. hahaha. But good i can buy storybooks. Hee. Thanks jiale for getting it. :) Yup... So it was just a simple dinner at Bakerzin. And Kim didn't come! Tsk tsk. She went to some other friend's 21st Birthday party. But well... i didn't turn up for hers too. hahaha! so we're quits. =P


The 2 birthday girls. Happy to have a close friend with the same bday! :)


Grp photo. Just before we left. Look at the empty dessert place on the table. haha!

On the actual day itself... my colleagues were so nice to treat me to lunch @ Secret Recipe. (Yes... i went to work becos i would be doing nothing anyway. no difference) I was happy cos i barely know them for like less than 2 weeks. So it was quite a surprise. :) Really nice ppl to be with.. Nice foodie when out with them for lunch... but also means spend more money. lol. And long lunch sometimes too. Oops. Yea. Had my favourite Chocolate Indulgence after that!! :)))

Evening was spent at SCH. A rather last min decision to catch the SCO-Jazz Concert. Thanks to SCO for the complimentary tix lor. haha. if not, i also not sure what would i be doing. probably just go home and yada yada. cos no one 'dated' me what. Oh wells... birthday is really just like any other day lah.. for the past dunno how many years, my bday had been rather plain and eventless. It's either everyone thinks that i will have something on my bday or that they just didn't bother. but think abt it, if anyone bothers, i won't end up without programmes right? Haha. what an irony. Nvm. Anyways.. so Sis and i went to the concert. It was awesome anyhows! Perhaps better than the last one! lol. And Huang Laoshi's crystal erhu is really like damn cool! We screamed at it the moment it appeared on stage. And Thanks to Xunqi, we were able to take a photo with the Erhu! :)))


Yeah! The 闪闪亮亮的二胡! Haha!

After the concert, SYCO peeps decided to go for supper! So we went to our usual Xing Wang HK Cafe again. Eat and laugh and whatever. lol. The usual syco stuff we talked abt. Cabbed home after that with minhui and joel chia. :) Thanks for the card and the Garfield keychain. :) It's the only card i received this year.. and i like it! :))) It's sitting on top of my work table now. yea. until i get off from this job end of the month lah. hahaha.


All who went! :) And yet xiangle pangseh-ed AGAIN. Haha!

Then sat was a meal out with my family @ Sushi Tei. I know i damn suaku this time cos i've nv been to Sushi Tei. Like what the right.. hahaha! Anyway.. nice lunch we had and after that bought some drinks and went home cos some syco peeps coming over for Wii. In the end it was quite funny cos of some funny incidents.. HAHA! Jojo, junan and junyuan stayed over... jojo and i played Wii almost the whole night till morning. lol. terrible. Actually i was quite tired. but ya. i very 了不起. haha! Fun day with them... Sylvia even bought a cake and the few left sang a birthday song for me damn quietly cos quite late already and they were also trying to be funny. lol! So ya.. this is part of my bday celebration cos still got cake. haha!

Then Sunday was NUSCO peeps' turn. It's supposed to be a Wii party! It wasn't meant to be a birthday party and it was not a birthday party. But i was still presented with Tangs vouchers when Eric, peiying and huiyan came... so i have to put this activity down here. Haha! Ya.. and so everyone was enjoying the Wii i could see.. and HEAR! Very excited grp of players... even noisier than my syco ppl. Finally syco found some competitors. lol! Our dinner came from 85market. Cos almost everyone of are westerners and have nv tried food here before... i make them sound like foreigners... hahaha! Yea. Apparently the photos have not been uploaded yet... so ya. Next time. :)

Post-concert syndrome -.-

I know.. i haven't been blogging for a long time... and haven't been updating all the exciting things i've done since like may... But June is really a very eventful month... and I will really try to update asap... with nice pictures... and blah blah blah...

Just wanna say... I think this year's SYCO concert is really fantastic... and i really miss the concert very much!! So much so that i think i have post-concert syndrome... cos i thought it was still concert day when i woke up on sunday morning... BUT... concert was already over on sat!! so emo lah! This is the first time i felt like that! We all done so much for the concert... including mr quek... coming early for little rehearsal just before the concert. I think the idea is there. We bond. We want and we can do it. Plus this year's after concert supper was damn fun too.... Had lotsa chats... and lotsa fun. :) I hope sy never ever lose this passion and happiness... A lot of ppl!! :)) Including Sylvia, Boyi and Zhiwen.... A pity they didn't join this year. if not should be double fun. HAHA.

Ok.. more details soon... i need to like go and sleep so that i can wake up tmr for work. Hee. Nites.
