oh where was i? i was literally falling asleep last night when i was blogging. oh, concert rehearsal!

yah, so concert rehearsals were going on, and i was kind of falling asleep (too tired). but they went on fine, and after the kids went on stage to rehearse, i was a little more free. some trouble came when i asked them to go collect their food themselves as i had to rehearse. the person in charge refused to give them their food, saying that he wants me to get the food for them. argh. as if i didn’t need to rehearse!! actually i didn’t need to lah, the piece was Ross Roy (played many times liao). so ok, i got them their food, briefed them a little, and everything was ok.

my own dinner was a more relaxing affair. sweetie and i went to sit at the stairs with our fried rice and i ate slowly, not wanting to rush and have no time for resting. after dinner, it was time to organise them again, and this time without much screw ups. everything went on smoothly till the concert. played the best Space Battleship Yamato yet, and one very messy Danceries, before going down to get them organised again. after they played, i handed them over to Tim, who brought them into the concert hall to watch the rest of the concert. intermission was kind of short (relatively), and sweetie and i met up with nick, huishan, daniel, qicai and i forgot who else (oops…). got some chocolate stick that looked like 3-in-1 kopi, which i later devoured at home.

the second half was without confusion, and i played like there’s no tomorrow! everything was ok, entrances were not missed, notes weren’t too far away. and West Side Story was the best we’ve ever attempted! not forgetting ending the concert with a very high note (on a very high note too)

sent sweetie back to eunos before getting on one of the last trains back home myself. so i squeezed in some bits of time to blog last night after i bathed, but unconciousness took over, so yup.

anyway, joe, it’s ok. like i’ve told you, it’s better to falter now and realise that we’ve got a long way to go than to triumph and be complacent! let’s do our best, NCWO
