KBox with Conductor Yao Shen Shen =)

Dear Diary,

Today didnt go work.. on leave every monday to prac my dizi for competition.. practiced my dizi the whole morning.. don't know why i feel that i'm like just playing my pieces without feeling.. my thinking was just to be able to play all the notes correctly and loud.. cos' im always commented on my volume not loud enough.. haven't play till the maximum of what the dizi can produce..

so 230pm went to Hong Lao Shi's house for my first ever lesson after stopping for about 4months le.. =) didnt expect lao shi would extend the lesson till 5pm..haha! =)) then first thing.. he showed me the new purple bamboo F diao bangdi.. quite nice to blow.. cos' i told him my F diao bangdi very hard to blow high notes.. so I bought from him a new dizi.. yay! but quite ex.. think so far its the most expensive dizi i've bought ba.. but hope it'll help me for my competition.

then Lao Shi commented that nowadays he feels that my Qi like weakened.. haix.. and my notes not in tune.. some flat some sharp.. so asked me to check with the tuner..

He asked me to practice my long notes.. so that my Qi will improve..

Then sad thing was that..when I played my 2 competition songs for him to listen, he told me that I didnt have any feelings.. blow till vey straight and too accurate.. haix.. but its so hard to play with feelings.. think i must prac and focus more on the dynamics from now on le..

felt demoralised.. but i know i cant keep on feeling this way, if not i won't improve at all.. i'll overcome it!!

after that, supposed to meet min hui they all at Orchard at 530pm for dinner with conductor.. but I had to go home put my dizi and stuffs first.. so I reached around 645pm.. =)

went to grab a quick dinner at long john's before meeting them..

lol!!

I thought would have a lot of ppl coming for Karaoke session with Conductor Yao.. but when I went to meet them, only got 5 of us.. Conductor, Min Hui, Su Min,Wan Ying and myself.. Conductor Yao was the only guy there.. so funny!! haha.. he was a bit paiseh at first but when we started singing..he was so cute! Though he's older than us by a few years.. he's just like us.. young at heart.. haha.. so funny.. while singing, he did all those hand signals and actions.. to show out the meaning of the songs..and dancing..haha.. then also play PSP.. -.- haha.. first time see a conductor who can gel with his students so close and also without any 'Jia Zhi'.. =D And he is really very good at singing too!!! We sang a lot of 90s songs.. so quite a different experience for me.. cos' usually when I go Kbox.. is sing those usual songs..haha.. learnt quite a few songs tonight =)

I really enjoyed the whole time with everyone..!!

I still remember the first time I saw Conductor Yao was during the day of my Dizi Diploma exam.. I had SYCO audition on the same day after my diploma exam at NUS.. then I had to rush down to SCH for audition.. and I was moved to the last one cos' they actually moved forward the audition.. then the judges including Conductor Yao were there and they waited for me for 30mins.. so paiseh la! but no choice cos' my diploma exam timing was fixed and so coincidence both fell on the same day!

But Conductor Yao was very friendly and smiley.. totally different impression as compared to last year's conductor. He even joked with me..haha.. Then during this one year of his guidance in SYCO as a Conductor, I never seen him angry or scolded anyone before.. gonna miss him.. heard that he's leaving SG back to Shanghai this thurs.. so fast... but i'm happy cos' get to spend the last time with him and SYCO peeps =)) hehehe...

I wish you All the Best, Conductor Yao!! ^^
