ups and downs of esplanade
haha. let me explain the reason for the title slowly.
the up was the wonderful wonderful experience of holding our concert there! it was a great great experience indeed. the feeling of projecting my polished clarinet sound into the great hall, when it was empty and when it was packed with the wonderful audience, was indescribable! simply euphoric! i finally managed to fill the hall with the tone i have trained so hard to project. and it was indeed a pleasant experience! i’m glad that i was at my best yesterday. at my bestest form. there will be one day, one fine day, when i overcome all obstacles and stand proud at esplanade hall, giving the audience my best performance ever! let that be my goal.
and now for the down. was supposed to watch a concert with huili today at the esplanade concert hall, but guess what? i did the unthinkable… ok, it wasn’t that bad lah. but it was bad enough; i forgot to bring one ticket! i totally forgot that both the tickets are with me, and so i only brought one! thank god huili wasn’t angry with me at all. phew. in fact, i think i made her panic for a moment. oops. well, that’s $11 and an opportunity to watch a concert in the esplanade wasted! i learnt my lesson the hard way again.
my tuition kid will be going back to korea on thursday. i gave him a junior pictionary and he was so thrilled! haha. i’m going to continue teaching him when he comes back in late january. could feel the hospitality when i went over today! his mom even asked me what i wanted to drink. haha. i tried to choose something safe, but i ended up with lemonade, which i took only two sips of. oops. i can’t have lemonade lah. well, income will be cut by a good 2/3 for about 1 1/2 months. i better watch my spending!
ok, time to go grab some sleep
