Yeah, Jingshan CC is invited to perform in the Esplanade Moon Fest performance and im the 'lucky' one to be involved in the show! Thanks to Mr James Wong who simply cant turn down his boss request to work on Friday and Saturday when i have told him like a month's time to make necessary arrangement. After a give and take situation, James managed to skip off the Saturday work and that's where I come into the picture; to fill up the bass vacancy tonight.
i had to thanks Leonard for aliasing the transport for me this Monday and we got ourselves a 40seater to transport the players and instruments Esplanade this afternoon. With bulky stuff like the drum set, double bass and yang qin.. haha, luckily i have learned a thing or two from MDC about loading stuff onto the bus. Optimizing the limited space we have at the bus for bulky stuff.
The show didn’t went that well and the pieces wasn’t well played either. The reason could be lack of sufficient practice to create the "mo qi" amongst us. Then again people by natural are lazy and less committed for unsatisfying performances.
Playing 3 sets can be very tiring and painful for my case! My fingers almost gave in as they are developing blisters on the tip of the fingers due to constant abrasion with the bass strings. Trying to create substantial volume meant greater abrasion between the fingers and bass strings. I couldn’t keep up with loud volume during the 3rd set. The fraction hurts! In the end i resort to playing with the bow.
Accompany Baby to one of the cafe and have muffins. She insisted me to treat her for being a good girl. Lol. How can i possibly turn down? Lol.
After the show, baby’s dad fetched me home! Wee! Without the fetching, i supposed to return back home late. =S. Thanks baby! Love.
