i just had a great concert with SPband, and a last one with laoban for the next 4 years. will update more when i get pictures!

i have random things in my mind to randomly write about.

let's start with yesterday. i had my first recital. i hope i could say it was ok, but the recital just wasn't well prepared enough. there were more audience that i expected, really. though i see pple i expected to see, pple whom i didn't expect to see attended the recital. nothing really bad happened. well, in the lack of better words, it was ok. thanks to those who attended anyway, especially you, gf.

i'm guest playing for Symphonia, SMU's band, for their concert in february, and if rich enough, WMC in july. i hope i'm rich enough. the last time i ever sat on a plane was 5 years ago with SPband to Perth. it's not really the plane ride that i miss, the air pressure annoys me anyway. it's the chance to go overseas with pple, having fun doing so. seriously, i hope i'm rich enough. it'll be cool to spend my birthday somewhere else.

i am ashame to say this, but i failed the most important test for the sem. i failed my principal study. i got an E, and re-test is in jan. i really don't wish to talk about this, but this might stop friends being defensive when i didn't even have the intention to be a quarter of the bitch they know i am after confirming my results. i missed your presence, and i don't deserve to be knocked down everytime i have my mouth open that night.

taiwan serial dramas. i was just flipping channels one evening when i chanced upon channel U's 7pm slot. and i was taken aback how pitchy ladies can get, especially taiwan's. i always thought cantonese are the pple that talks decibels higher than normal, how wrong was i?! those pple in my tv was yelling and shrieking at the top of their voices. taiwan series can be nice at times, i'm not condemning all of them. but there's half of them that are entirely bimbotic, no, spastic. that makes one of the bigger reasons why i'd rather rewatch sitcoms like FRIENDS. at least i don't feel shallow understanding their jokes.

Mr. Leonard Tan aka laoban, is leaving for studies in the US soon. i'll be playing for his last concert with SP band. it's a lost to the local music scene with him gone for years. and when he's back things would have changed. there'll be a bigger chance for the loacal music scene to become better with him around if things were to change. well, i'll miss playing under his baton.

my incapability to understand kids these days are becoming more incapable. it seems to be a trend to be emo, and trying too hard to copy one another. i myself might have been like that, but i believe i wasn't quite as emo as they can be now. before u think i'm stereotyping, let me say this. i do know some of them that aren't as emo, they actually think and not copy. for i enjoyed myself better being in their company than those emo-momos. i don't have to spend half the time looking at their long faces, or asking what's wrong. well, maybe it's me, i care too much.

i love my trombone, serious. but apparently yamaha thinks it's not good enough and is coming out with a improved version of it next year. it's good news, really. i'm just jealous.
