Dear Diary,
MONDidnt went school. cos lecture was cancelled then only 2hrs practical then the timing was so sian 2-4pm. by the time reach home couldnt prac dizi liao.. so whole day.. prac dizi.. prac till my ears very painful.. think neighbours more pain.. lol..
Then called Shu Rong to ask her about when is SYCO re-audition.. then told her i till now havent receive my scores yet! then she said is this coming thurs! shuay man.. thought audition will be like evening time.. but then guess wad.. it's at 2.30pm.. by right mine is at 3.15pm.. but i last one.. then sian la! i told her i having my diploma exam on thus too at NUS 2pm.. then should be ending at 2.30pm.. then from clementi rush down to SCH need time at least 30-45mins.. then asked her whether can i join other instruments or take earlier.. but she said cant.. then sian liao.. hai.. i told her tt i'll rush down asap after my exam.. and luckily she agreed.. stupid postman!
TUESDidnt feel like going sch but cos' Geoff teaching new stuffs..surround sound miking.. so impt.. so went in the afternoon class de..so morning can prac dizi..poor ear.. then 5pm had an interview at SCH for usher.. Royston recommended me.. Then Hazel was interested too.. Lessons ended early at the right time.. 430pm.lol.. by right should be ending at 530pm de.. heng ar..Learnt many new things.. surround sound rocks!!
then went with Hazel.. then also shun bian went to collect my SYCO audition scores.. -.- one page only.. quite easy.. jiang jun lin song..lol.. Basically i think i screwed up my interview.. the person like face so black.. then say in an uninterested tone 'We'll consider your application..blah blah".. hai.. but the pay good $7.. they want to hire for long term de and we only can work on weekends.. so think i most prob won't get e job.. so ma fan too.. have to put on make-up..tie up hair.. my hair so short and uneven how to tie -.-"" bleah.......
This reminds me of when i was working at Orchard Cafe.. so ma fan also.. eewkk! But think Hazel's interview like quite well.. =)
WEDReally really didnt felt like going sch..cos next day KABOOM day..lol.. But went cos need to be responsible of my group work.. wait pang seh Chiew Hsia i'll feel guilty..lol.. anyway lessons from 9am-12pm.. Surprisingly, we didnt continue on our last week's assignment.. erica told us to redo the indian commercial clip background music.. haha. the clip was so funny!! go check it out on youtube.. its about a permanent ink marker advertisement. We watched a few different movies for a very short while.. to hear the background music.. whaha.. i wanna borrow Home of the Range DVD.. looks nice!! Then erica gave us a clip done by some SP students from other course.. the clip not very well done.. so bit confusing.. robot.. like copy transformer, matrix and star wars idea leh.. sian.. must do that for our next assignment.. put music and sound effects into the clip..
Then after lunch with our gang, i headed home.. prac dizi!! My ears more and more painful. can hear ringing sound.. poor neighbours..but surprisingly no one complained about my flute leh.. lol
THURSToday's my BIG BIG BIG day! whahaha! 9am went to hong lao shi's house for last min prac and things to take note of.. Lao shi's so great!! He's the best dizi instructor i have! Happy that he's concerned about me.. yesterday asked me wanna have lesson today.. =)) hehehe.. so I decided not to let him down.. but when i reached his house.. hai.. i went to toilet 2 times.. diarrhoea.. think too nervous le.. hai.. reminds me of 2004 when i was taking my grade 7 exam.. i also had diarrhoea.. hai.. Then lao shi so funny.. he chose some parts for me to play.. dun need to play the whole 3 songs finish.. cos only 30mins.. if play finish 3 concertos.. will be about 1hr..lol.. Then I made a lot of mistakes esp the kuai4 ban3. too nervous le.. Then lao shi encouraged me and wished me good luck..
After that, went home and rushed to change my di mo.. prepare stuffs like scores and other things.. then i decided to take taxi.. cos scared will be late. OMG man! the taxi driver super disgusting and weird!! he kept making a disgusting sound.. like keep blowing out his pi3 sai4.. so er xin! should have sat behind instead.. then he didnt know how to go to the CFA studios at NUS.. then made a lot of U turns and stop.. purposely wanna delay time.. then ended up the fare was $16.70!! damn ex la!! hai.. then ended up i had to walk a long way up to the Studio by myself cos' he didnt know where is it.. >.< Then i reached 1 hr earlier.. supposed to reach at 1.30pm. then 1.30pm then they start the registration. so sat down to cool myself down.. then cant believe i was the first to go in.. followed by Pei Qi.. both of us so nervous! lol.. Luckily my diarrohea ok liao..
Then I went in greeted the two judges Li Zhen lao shi and i think the other lady is his wife ba.. they quite old man.. but friendly.. Then i told them i was going to play BangDi Concerto first. Then i was like waiting for him to say something about the song.. but he didnt.. so i asked him.. whether do i need to play the whole piece throughout or i could choose parts to play. Then he said he'll choose the parts for me to play.. Then the 1st song went quite well.. surprisingly he didnt ask me to play the solo part.. i was hoping to play tt part cos i prac very long le.. that part very shuang to play.. but sad.. lucky too. cos if i play too fast and nervous.. the whole thing flunk liao. The only part which i was scared was the last part of the piece.. but dun need to repeat.. so lucky it went well..
The next song was ZouXiKou concerto.. Then he also chose some parts for me to play.. Hai.. i flunked the man4 ban3.. Cos my Bb da di.. the di mo very tight.. then when i blow halfway, the mouth hole suddenly full of my saliva.. then very slippery.. Kept adjusting it till i lost concertation of the piece and mood.. cos it was to be sad and slow.. hai.. then dunno why i like ran out of breath.. the yin she didnt come out.. Li Zhen lao shi say my qi4 very weak when i blow da di.. Then the fast part i managed to blow well.. i hate da dizi!! so hard.. make my fingers so painful cos' very wide gap then need a lot of qi4.. no energy to blow le.. lol..
Then last song was Bai She Zuan concerto.. hahaha! lucky man.. i was praying he dun ask me to play the kuai ban! cos dunno y these few days i keep flunking the kuai ban.. then last song no more energy to play fast notes le.. i blow till i sweat man! Then it went well.. i played the 2nd half of the kuai ban but was ok.. hehe.. phew.. finally over.. Then Li Zhen lao shi commented on my perf.. he said i played well.. but just that my qi4 very weak when blow da dizi.. then asked me to prac more on it and taught me e correct method of controlling your qi4 and mouth gap for da dizi.. then my 'fa' note was a bit sharp.. then taught me the correct fingering for 'fa' note. =) overall, i think he's a great da shi! hai.. hope PeiQi and I will do well!! but really happy that i did not stop halfway... =)
After that, I wished PeiQi good luck and RUSHED to SCH for my SYCO audition! Shu Rong called me and told me to faster rush to SCH.. Then Min Yi called again and said everyone finish le.. left me.. hai.. so guiltly.. the 3 judges including Lin Xin You lao shi, the new conductor and Guo Chang Shuo lao shi waited for me for 20mins! hai.. then went in and explained and apologised to them.. they so funny.. they were understanding and even joked asked me to treat them to meal.. lol.. made me more guilty.. The audition was super fast man.. like less than 2 mins and i was done! then they waited for so long just for the 2 mins.. -.- lol!!!! but really happy that everything went well today! thank you everyone for giving me so much encouragements, accomodating me and helped me raise my confidence! ^_^
Tomorrow.. stress liao! got recording for my song1.. whee... but havent think of harmony yet.. so hard.. =P
take care everyone~~~~
