EDITED:
gosh, had to wake up early to meet up Elmo as we have to reach CC by 8.30. She even wake up earlier to make fish porridge as breakfast for me! got touched. other then putting too much pepper, it was delicious! hehe.
as time passes, more people came and help out to shift the instruments to the trucks and eventually board the buses. and so we depart the CC and head towards Esplanade.
as usual, the unloading of instruments and arranging of the hall layout when we reached the Esplanade. shortly after that came the intense full dress rehearsal. 1 - 5.30pm. it was tiring! i had to drink alot of coffee to keep myself awake!
finally came the actual performance, overall the programme went relatively smooth except for Mike's baton flying off during performing after the intermission.. LOL. he made do with his bare hands throughout the second half of the concert.
and finally the concert is over.. Damien level up le(*play Final Fantasy level up music*)! from this concert, the most challenging piece would be《古道随想》. there is alot of counting as compare to other scores i have seen. its from there i have once again learnt something new. not only that, WeiQi, a new bassist who recently joined us taught me something too; never give up. there are times where i really feel like slacking especially one part in《古道随想》where it prove to be technically hard to play, i chose the easy way out. but then seeing WeiQi struggle to play that part, it makes me so ashame of myself for someone who have played bass so long and yet chose to turn down the challenge ahead. haha.
it was then i realised i have to buck up! u just have to put in effort to make things perfect! =D. and so i practice that problematic part over and over again until i get it right when i got time to spare in MDC.
after the concert, most of us return back to CC to put back the instruments back to the store. it was late and so elmo and i left there shortly hoping to allow her reach home earlier and allow me to get into the last bus back home.. and i sort of managed to hope into the last bus. phew!!
i hope u guys are there listening to us playing, Rui Xiang and David..
