Work Life. Meet with Friends. Erhu.

Haven't been able to update a lot lately. That's the problem with working. Haha! There are just tonnes of things to do and hundreds of places to go. Plus the com i'm using is really like ancient slow. so there's nothing much i can do with it as well.

So anyway, so many things have happened lately, i dun really know where to start. Just last week, i already went to 2 Outreach concerts. One at NTU and another at Singapore Turf Club. Different Experience totally. For ntu it was really relaxing for me. All i had to do was to put the season booklets and brochures on the table and that's it! Everything was cleared by the audience and so i had nothing to bring back. The only good thing was perhaps I get to watch the performance and I finally got to meet up with some friends over there. Ok.. actually it's only 1 friend whom i haven't seen for a long time. and that's Jon lau. Lol! Zhongming and xiaoqiang were there too. Plus we went dinner tgt with their some other friends and took train home with zhongming. The rest went back hall. Had loads of laughter with them. And joke of the day was...

Friend to jon: You and A share the same birthday.
Me: Wah... Did u see her sleeping beside you?
Jon: Never leh... too dark.
Me: You also very dark.. i think that's why she can't see you also.
Jon: No leh... I got smile. (meaning can see his teeth)
Me (think for a while and laugh): Eh... Wait.. When you were born, where got teeth?!?!
...

Crazy.

Then had a group tour on fri morning. Exhausted my whole morning, walked here and there to get things ready. Luckily our venue manager was ard and he really did a great job introducing the building and the orchestra to our guests. I didn't really have to do much except to follow them ard and guide them to the places. Got to relax a bit since I had to sit with them in the concert hall to watch the rehearsal. It's really nice to hear them praise the orchestra. Cos it's equal to praising CO as a whole. Haha! They all left with smiles on their faces and i'm really delighted to see such scenes. And i hope they will be back for more CO performances. :)

Sat was Mid-Autumn Fest and to a certain extend i was rather reluctant to work. Moreover, I've only started work for abt 8 weeks and I had to already work for 5 saturdays. (ok i of which i was the performer). But still. it's a bit sian. Like jiaqi had said.. You are going to the same place again this week??? Anyway, not for the following 2 weeks or so before the next major concert! Hee. :))) And a wedding is going to save me from one of the duties. Heh.

That was the first time i enter the racecourse. Heh. But no horses lor. So sad. Seriously a lot of audiences.. Like full maybe? But there were some lousy incidents which happened and i dun wish to say it lah. Like reflects damn badly on Singaporeans. And for one of it, damn bad example for her child as well. Oh man. dun remind me of it.

Talk abt something else... First lesson for erhu was not bad really. He's really a nice teacher. He pointed out my problems immediately. Some of the problems i know, but just dunno how to solve. Anyway he taught me back the basics again. Which i was really grateful. I need it to build up my techniques. So back to changing between inner & outer strings, left hand posture, changing of positions on the strings and vibrato. Esp. the left hand part. I always felt that I wasn't holding the proper way and my hands kept getting off the pole. And now i'm trying hard to change. :) Tmr is lesson again! Going intensive to use up the hours and to train proper for audition as well. Yay-ness!

Yup. Sleeping time! Nites.
