Update!

Ah! I finally managed to download a trial version of Microsoft Word!

Yeah! I've never been so happy for technology in my life before! So here's my new update!

Sorry to all fans (if any) who had been checking this site regularly!

The past week or so have been filled with preparation for my exam on Monday. I?m more or less ready I think! Ready or not, here I come!

I just hope that my sight reading piece won't be something like what Natalie the Goat got. 5/8 time with 6 flats! I probably would just tell the examiner to fail me on the spot. And I hope my aural parts will be easy. If you still don't know, my aural is atrocious. Oh well! I only can hope that I will have an easy time on Monday.

At the SP Band's I Believe in Music concert last night, I saw 2 people whom I would have rather not seen. But since they were there, oh well!

This certain lady I saw was sitting with my friends from secondary school. The moment she saw me as I approached my friends, her expression changed. Why? I don't know and have no wish to know. I'm not interested in what she does anyway. It's not like I had done anything too. So who cares about her opinion of me? I have my friends that are more important.

Let's not be too mean. I sincerely hope that she will cross the road safely, eat well without choking, walk without falling. I'm not mean ok!

Ok, enough about lousy examples of the human race.

The concert was ok. I know that the sections were probably all using their sectional competition pieces, BUT! If anyone from the committee next year is reading this, please do not have a programme with so many slow pieces can? I was quite bored.

And yes, I attended a concert. So some people out there who thinks I'm stuck-up and don't attend concerts. I do, ok? It's just that I hardly do so anymore.

I will perhaps go to concerts for the following reasons:

The band is good. Since no local bands are good to me, so I don't bother going.

I have someone whom I want to support. It doesn't happen often anyway. If I'm not attending a SP Band concert, it probably means that I'm playing in it. And yes, I wanted to go to the Phil Youth Concert to see my student in action. But someone loh, didn't want to go with me. So ended up didn't go in the end. Sorry Rachel!

The band is playing a piece I want to hear badly and I think the band is of reasonable standard. Speaking of which, I haven't really hear Phil Winds in concert before, although I have played with them before. They are supposingly the "best" band in the land, right? Still, I don't like some people there. So full of themselves. Of course not all are horrible people. Kaitze and wife, for example, are nice people. So perhaps I will go see a concert with them inside one day.

I want to save money! Haha. But then again, I didn't go to a concert even though I was offered free ticket.

Hmmm, maybe I really am stuck-up. =P

An advertisement for the SAF Bands!

There will be a jazz concert this coming Thursday at the Singapore Conference Hall at 1930 hrs. Tickets are free, as usual. The first-ever Jazz Delights will consist of the SAF Big Band and SAF Combo Band. There will be guest appearances by some soloists and vocalist. I forgot the names, but I think they are good. For Reader's info, NO, I'm not playing. Oboe in a big band? Are you kidding me?

Anyway, I think the concert will be good so pop along if you are free. Call 6450 5895 during office hours to reserve your tickets ya? At the last check on Friday, there were 300+ tickets left. So please lift that butt out of the chair and use your itchy fingers to press the above 8 number on your phone.

I think I sound weird. Very uncharacteristic of me. Hmmm... good mood perhaps. Haha!
