left for Singapore Conference Hall (SCH).

and with the pink ties people! (lukas and meng tian)
tuned our instruments.
went into the concert hall at about 2pm.
final tuning of instruments and started our rehearsal at about 220pm.
started with 'XI SHUANG BAN NA'.
i dont have that mood yet.
realised im not prepared for the concert emotionally.
realised i played the notes with no feelings.
went on rehearsing the songs accordingly to the programme booklet.
slowly and slowly.
got the feel.
first time watched the soloists-pei yan and mei yi play their pieces.
it was GREAT! =)
especially pei yan's solo!
i was mesmerised by her, to be honest.
woo!
ended rehearsal at about 540pm.
irvin prayed for ACCO, hopefully it will be a success.
went to eat dinner (packed food).
slacked and talked.
then it was 7pm.
got back to the backstage for tuning of instruments.
made sure that all the liuqins are tuned accurately.
checked again and again whether they are tuned already.
dont want any of them to go out of tune on stage.
nervous.
then it was 730pm.
people are going into the hall.
we stood at the backstage, getting ready to go onto stage.
nervous.
nervous.
nervous.
waited 10 mins.
that 10 mins seemed so long.
made sure my liuqin did not went out of tune during that time.
had a handshake with iming. THANKS for that! =)
then the door opened.
i was the first person who walked to the stage.
i was very serious, and nervous of course.
there were many shouts from the audience!
woohoo!
thanks for that, guys! (although i only heard one) =)))
started with our first song: 'XI XUN DAO BIAN ZAI'!
woohoo!
cool man!
the whole song was played well!
didnt make any mistakes except for my solo part. =(
then came 'YAO ZU WU QU'!
that was okay except for some mistakes with sheng.
the third song was pei yan's solo piece.
then came erhu ensemble, playing 2 songs.
then...
THEN it was INTERVAL!!!

then it was combined orchestra again!
'NI SANG QU'.
'YU LING LING'.
'XI SHUANG BAN NA'.

just that the audience didnt really shouted enCOre.........
BUT, the conductor conducted the audience when we played the 2nd enCOre song!

GREAT JOB, AUDIENCE! =)
after the concert, bong came to give me the flowers that my class bought for me.
THANKS FOR THE FLOWERS GUYS!! haha.. =)
THANKS TO ARIATI AND MARSHELLA FOR THE FLOWERS TOO! =)
packed everything and brought the instruments downstairs.
took pictures again!! =))
then the class went back to school with me!!
THANKS TEACHERS and the driver for allowing them to stand on the bus! =)
then it was debrief and photo-taking.
did a CO cheer!
3 cheers and 3 cheers and 3 cheers for CO!
HIP HIP HURRAY!
HIP HIP HURRAY!
HIP HIP HURRAY!
woots!
in the past, i want, i hope, i yearn for enCOre to be over.
and now its really over.
feeling empty.
feeling weird.
feeling sad.
no more CO practices.
no more scoldings from conductor and teachers.
no more stress.
no more concerts for me.
but, there's one thing i will never forget.
THE TIMES WE SPENT TOGETHER:
-the happy times.
-the lunches we had.
-the outings we had.
-the secrets we shared together.
-the big news we found out.
-the gossips we had.
-the CO practices we had.
GUYS!!
the concert was a GREAT success!
THANKS for everything you have done to contribute to this!
SPECIAL THANKS TO THE TEACHERS and THE CONDUCTOR TOO! =)
also, to alyssa, meiqi and meiyi!
'tonight
we remember
the moments spent together
because its the only time we had'

left city hall and boarded train..
when i reached buona vista, one girl called me. she is from suntec nokia care centre! OMG OMG! and guess what? my phone is repaired already! WOOHOO!!~~!!

9:50 PM
sometimes i wonder why life is so unfair..
i know life has its ups and downs.
everything will not go the way you want things to be.
there are certainly some difficulties and uncertainties you have to face and conquer, sometimes all by yourself.
no one to help you.
no one to give you a hand.
all by yourself.
ALONE.

9:36 PM
i hate being sick..
these few days i have been eating food that is tasteless and bland!! even though i added a lot of spices, it still tastes the same!!
argh.. i seriously hate it..
now i think even shark's fin and abalone dont appeal to me.. =(
HELP!!
i want my sense of taste back!!
anyway, enough about that.

then reached home quite late at 11 plus..
LABOUR DAY, 1/5:
was sneezing non-stop in the morning but still decided to go for the mini class outing.. it was really MINI!! i think only 6 people went. maybe because we didnt ask the WHOLE class if they can make it.. but some of them really cant make it..
so the people who went were: Bernard, Bong, Cynthia, Derrick, Fang Yu and ME! Bernard came to meet us later though. quite pathetic.. =x
went TOWN to watch the movie FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. OMG OMG!! this movie is SO DAMN LAME!!! though its a bit funny.. cuz i was not used to the people speaking ANGMOH when they are dressed in olden days clothes..
Cynthia 'broke' her shoe and went around searching for a suitable pair. haha.. both of us practically tried on every pair in the shop! LOL.. =x spent about half an hour la..
then went around searching for a suitable birthday present, but in the end didnt manage to buy it because of several reasons.. anyway, everything was done already! haha.
the few of us were crazy imitating the mannequins in the shop!! OMG.. we had fun!! LOTS OF FUN! haha.. =) (BONG!! i want the photos!!)
went home at around 10 plus..

went to see doctor at polyclinic.. WAH SIAN!!! waited so DAMN long la.. shouldnt have gone in the morning.. or i might as well say shouldnt have even gone to a polyclinic!! should have gone private one... but anyway, 3 hours are wasted! but THANKS to bernard for msging me! keep me occupied! haha.. =)
went back home. ate my lunch and slept for 2 hours plus.. wah.. sleep is all you need when you are sick!! SHIOK! haha.. =)
SATURDAY, 3/5:
forced myself to go for CO cuz its the last few practices we are going to have already.. that few hours wont worsen my illness that much.. i think..
luckily i didnt sneeze during CO.. if not, it will be damn disrupting.. =x
and i made a right choice by bringing my jacket today!! cuz it was damn cold......
and yeah.. have to work harder already..
2 MORE WEEKS TO enCOre!!
