My first dizi solo concerto performance

Dear Diary,

Yesterday 23Aug2009 was a special and memoriable day of my life. Haha! I had my first ever Dizi solo concerto at the Esplanade Concert Hall, after waiting for 8yrs of my life in CO! I am so happy that my last wish to play solo concerto with the orchestra accompanying me has come true! Although my wish was to have SCO accompany me for SYCO annual concert solo..it is still a wish come true and a great experience/opportunity for me! My next target will be to try hard for SYCO concerto next year cos' I was not selected to play this year =(

I'm so glad that the concert was a success! But what I really regretted was not playing perfectly on stage..=( I didnt know why my lips were suddenly so tight till I couldnt play out the high notes at the beginning of the piece. However, I was glad and thankful that I managed to save my piece and play better at the back. I also received comments that I was hunching my back while playing too. This i really have to change.. haix.. haha.. and I got a shock when I heard my recording which my best friend had secretly recorded for me..I kept rushing my piece throughout.. but thankful that I didnt flop. lol.. phew~

Actually for the past few rehearsals from thursday-saturday, I only went through my whole piece once, which was on saturday. Then sunday I went through the whole piece again the 2nd time during full-run, and the last time was during the concert itself. For the past practices, ZLS skipped my 2 cadenza solo parts.. so i didn't get a lot of chance to play the full piece =( then I was quite sad that my song was usually the last piece to rehearse, when everyone was alrdy very tired and wanted to go home. Maybe it was my fault for not being on time for practices. haix. or was it becos' ZLS thought that I have no problem at all so didn't need much practice? But actually I was very scared and not very confident..but seeing everyone so tired..even myself..and also the lack of time..I didnt dare to request anything..

I was also quite unhappy with whom I thought was a more closer clique of friends..I have known them even longer than my other groups of friends..and despite asking them 3times.. most didnt even bother to reply me whether they're coming or not to watch my concert. If they could just reply me even though they aren't interested to watch, or find the tickets too expensive, at least just reply me and I can understand. But then they didnt even bother. The reason why I kept on asking them whether they wanted to watch was because I really hoped they could come or at least give me a reply so that I'll know. If I don't treat them as impt, I wouldn't have wasted so many msges on them. So forget it. Maybe they are just friends for entertainment purposes and not friends who will be there for you to support you when you really want them to be present and share your happiness tgt. haix.. I was quite sad over the past few days..really disappointed..kept on thinking why.. now I realise.. and I shld just forget about it and 看开. Its really better to have 1 best friend who supports you, than so many friends who dont care.

What I am really grateful of are those friends who came to watch and support me although we aren't really close or don't hang out often. I am really thankful touched and happy that y'all came! Some even came to watch despite having their exam week! Thank you SPCO peeps!! =')

I also want to thank so many ppl for encouraging me, wishing me good luck and asked me to jiayou! All your encouragements and good wishes really helped!!

Thank You firstly my Mother, Ah Mei, Ah Jie.. my family~my loves~ though I was abit disappointed with my aunt.. long story~ dun wanna say le~

Thank You my Bestest Friend Forever-Raymond! Without your encouragement, advice, support, listening ear, to be always there for me, I think I would have alrdy sunk into depression. =)) For the past few days you've been listening to my tears. Sorry! =(

Thank You my dizi lao shi-Hong Lao Shi! Without your guidance, I think I wouldnt have played the song better..=)

Thank You my poly buddies Chiew Hsia and Yue Ting! Even though I know both of you aren't really interested in CO, y'all thought of coming to watch but I know Uni Life is stressful and busy! Thanks Chiew Hsia for listening to me too~! and your great support!! ^^

Thank You my friends who msged me great wishes/came to watch my performance! Thank You - William, Koen, Jackson, Joanne, XueQi, XiangLe, PeiCheng, Mervin, Jake, James, Shirley, Sam, Beeyan, Hazel, MeiHui, Jonathan, HsienHan, SYCO peeps, SPCO peeps, EVCO peeps, my Echomusic Vocal teacher Esther, Simon, Wanling, my dizi Student Hana, and I am sorry if I missed out anyone else!

I am really happy to receive so many gifts and flowers! its the happiest moment ever! Thank You Esther and Simon for the flowers, EVCO for the flowers, my dear AhMei for the flowers, SPCO and SYCO for the flowers and chocolates! Thank You dear Raymond for the cute Monkey~!! Its really so disappointing that Esplanade doesnt allow audiences to present gifts..=( I know you wanted to surprise me =) I love the monkey a lot! Thanks for helping me record my solo!!! <3 Thank You dear AhJie for the cute sheep named Debbie! Quite sad that I forgot or didnt have the chance to take photos with the others! =(

Thank You MinHui for the bananas! It really helped! and I felt so stupid la..I was in a rush to find ppl after the concert ended that I actually forgotten my dizi! lol! so blur me! Thanks for helping me carry my dizi even though you had to carry so many things and 2 ruans! Oh man.. I really felt so guilty! You've played really well and I enjoy chatting with you!! haha.. and our peranakan costumes! ^_^

Thank You ZLS for giving me this great opportunity to perform this solo concerto and also the 2 tickets you've bought for minhui and I each! Im so sorry if I didnt do my part well as a student/member in the orchestra! =D

Thank you ppl for your honest comments you've given me! I'll try to improve on my weaknesses and to focus on my strengths too!

Thank You! ='))
