den.. I Remember Clifford.. i was backstage.. was talking about how come esplanade doesnt give that stagefright "kick".. LOL.. VCH has alot lorr
den went back for Spaceship Yamato..
the 4th mvmt is repeating in my mind "as we speak".. so yearning.. *sigh* lol =/
eh... i sort of luan abt the order of the pieces liao leh.. -.-
theres this percussion ensemble piece.. mario!
den they incorporated ipads into a CNY piece.. sounds damn funny hahaha..
when they came backstage we were all singing at the stage door.. LOL
oh yea.. theres the accidental chord or what that came from one ipad after the ending.. sounds like a fitting ending.. but its accidental!! HAHA nice
theres the Concertante for solo alto sax (Breyann)..
we got ready.. Chiang came in.. looked for the score.. gave us a stunned face.. looked again.. went out.. came in again with no score in hand!..
i was going "uhoh.." with Chiang giving the =S
haha
so... miscues.. trying to to hear for cues in breyann's solo.. speeding the second part.. tried to slow down.. cannot haha.. but breyann still can play at tt fast fast tempo.. eh ehhh.. woahh.. haha
During New World Symphony.. caught this one audience at 3rd row stall seat stage left.. dunno she staring or stoning while looking in my direction.. i reached the middle slow part and stared back den she looked away.. LOL fun
anddd... alsoo.. my reed kept giving way during new world... cant play the fff parts with good tone.. rawr!
almost cried after finishing tabidachi.. the crying is infectious de lor.. Dx

den went back.. gave out the wood treble clefs phone dongle during that "self declared christmas" that happens after every IBM/MD.. HAHA..
super tired noww... heng i took off tmr woah.. K.O.
all in all.. i dont remember performing in the esplanade this packed.. a few unexpected stuffs happened.. but they made it all the more memorable.. x)
the hard work.. the dedication.. the applause.. the laughter.. the smiles on the faces.. the tears after that.. the self declared christmas..

iPhone for people who hate iTunes
Sony Ericsson Aino
lol.. actually i was quite sian.. just browing around SE de webbie..
and i saw this and went wooaah.. lol
it has most of the functions iPhone has.. except for that nonsensical compass thing (in singapore.. what for..) and voice recognition/commands..
keypad oso is a better alternative to that touch qwerty keyboard.. (ok la.. this is personal opinion.. =P)
8.1Mpixel.. own iPhone de 3Mpixel.. =P
Aino dun need to work with iTunes!.. convert here convert there.. -_-
Aino can play both AAC and MP3 =P
Sony oso got better audio technology lah.. =) (this one.. dunno is personal opinion ornot leh.. xP)
Aino 55MB+microSD.. cannot compare to iPhone 16/32GB lah.. =/ (microsd max 2GB nia rite?)
dun have voice functions..
dun have compass.. but Aino oso have google maps.. like iPhone
ok done.. one post just to show how much i dun like iTunes.. xD
my sis was having so much problems JUST to get her iPhone to play her music as a ringtone.. -_-

Have you noticed that
sometimes when you cry
no one sees your tears
sometimes when you are sad
no one understands your pain
sometimes when you are happy
no one sees your smile
But you just have to fart once,
and everybody knows!!
haha.. not original.. =x
