finally got home to eat dinner after so many months.... all those of u who eat home-cooked dinner better appreciates whoever who cooks the meals.... count urselves lucky.... yah.... oh well...
didnt practise today at all... so sad manz... haiz.... oh well.... managed to get the Gil Shaham tickets.... thank God.... and really should thank him... luckily i didnt spend $50 for the tic which now costs $15 for the music students... thank god manz....
oh well.... when to watch PLMGSS'es Harp Ensemble at the Esplanade concourse... thank god it wasn't a paid performance... if not i'll stand up and shout manz.... they were damn bad.... pls lah.... HARPS you know.... you all cannot go out of tune while playing.... the least u could do is TUNE PROPERLY before performing la........... come on man.... most of the harps had different tunings... such a turn off... and pissifying...
went to HMV.... got myself a cd for $9.95... "cathedral Voices".... quite nice.... bought it coz i saw Barber's Agnus Dei... which was originally Barber's Adagio for strings.... oh yah... went to Esplanade library today as well.... was sitting in one corner listening to Reich's Music for 18 musicians which lasted for 1 hour... haha... amazing how he can compose such long pieces.... and then went to search for Penderecki.... managed to get a cd ... well two actually.... which consists of all or most of his pieces.... damn nice.... so much "noise" this man's music makes.... damn interesting.... made alot of heads turn when i was in the mrt due to the tremendous volume and "noise"produced from the earphone... HAha...
Ah well..... took harmony test today.... quite screwed i feel.... but seemed like i could do it... so maybe still have chances of passing.... found out that my attendance completely sucked for harmony lecture.... out of 11.... attended only 4? HAHa.... oh well.... it seemed like i could still do my work... why so particular with attendance if i could do well and better than others? oh well.... maybe better only la... haha....
ITs september... I've GOT TO BUCK UP !!!! and i have to play in a clarinet masterclass next week.... so exciting yet stressful.... dun wanna throw Jean's face... must learn all i can from this guy....
