just finished watching death note, bought the vcd.... i somehow regretted buying this cheapo version... but well.... aiyah... i'll explain.... thinking that it was a rip off... i decided to buy because the packaging itself looked decently fine....

then when i switched on.... what the hell? it has both jap and mandarin both simultaneously happening at the same time... then after awhile... only mandarin... JAPANESE & MANDARIN VERSION it says on the back cover.... ok... tried to switch the language and stuff... but to no avail... alright fine.... i'll stick to the mandarin then...

thing is... i'm a subtitle person.... dialogue does not match subtitle, grammar, sentence structure , everything doesn't match... fine then... will just listen.... then its ok already... HA !

today, wen yi (violist in snyo) completely made my day... shan't talk much about it ..... (if not alan will say "see... i told you you would write it in your blog" ...) haha... ask me if u wanna know why....

Ravel... argggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ...... its inhumanly possible.... or humanly impossible ... damn tough la!!!! arrrgggghhhhhhh and having such a sensitive player beside me doesn't help much.... dunch caount ...dunch pleh ihn teeoon .... vad chiu van me tu doo?

went for ashtanga yoga.... fwah kaoz.... its extremely similar to ashtanga led... just that its slower... hold postures for eternity.... damn tiring... but really cool class... every single one in the class must be regulars.... i could catch up or actually already know the postures coz its similar to the led class... but i tell u.... the people are like so flexible la!!! ... try standing up ... use ur hand to hold ur toes in front of you with out stretched legs.... everyone can do it except me!!!! haha....

damn.... i need to go more often.... more motivation... haha.... ciaoz....

wah... u might be wondering how come i've been blogging almost everyday now... aiyah.... i always like that one.... after awhile... this blog will hang for damn long again...haha...

just came back... ok not just... but came back from Duke Ellington orchestra concert , opening concert as part of the 9 days of mosaic music festival at the esplanade... this year's line up is absolutely Atrocious... because they want you to go for almost every other concert... argh... and i've spend quite a sum on the tix for several concerts....

but its worth it... broadening my OH so small knowledge of other genres of music... and also for me to get a break from all the lousy music that i have to deal with... aaaaahahaha...

the concert was rather disappointing at the start... took alittle while for the orchestra and audience to warm up... and soon it was super high.... never seen such virtuosic playing from trumpets, saxes and double bass before... the saxes... fwah....... super fingers.... and i must say... you've really got to know all ur scales man, to play jazz.... the improv like no body's business....

and damn poor thing to be a sax player in the 'jazz band' ... because u have to double/triple on clarinet and flute... and the trumpets have like free high notes ..... if my 'completely-off-perfect-pitch' doesn't fail me... the trumpets can reach like the 2nd C above the freaking staff.... like oh my god... i never thought it was possible to hear it once in my life live ... but i was like..... goosebumps all over.... and the tenor sax 'duel-duet' haha...damn cool la... trying to out-run, out-range and out-volume each other... can see the musicians really enjoy awhole lot manz.....

Bryon Stripling and Freda Payne were guests in the concert.... bryon stripling played solo trumpet and singing as well.... i must say.... its damn tough to play jazz... absolutely tough i tell you.... if u thought classical music was tough... wait till u play jazz.... i know i know.... classical music is tough in making 'complicated music' sound simple... but jazz is.... sounds damn complicated and it is very complicated to play..... oh well... there will be a never ending debate... so .... all music is tough in their own aspects.... FINE.

Its is extremely fun and nice to watch Freda Payne perform... her small actions and her really cool retro dance steps.... really fun to watch i'll say... and there was a point in time during the concert that these two couples walked out of their seats to the side and started dancing... i think the orchestra happen to be playing one of their dance routine's music.... coz both couples were in sync and not just weirdos coming out to dance.... it was really nice to drift off from the orchestra and just watch them dance....

but soon .... one esplanade staff came and chased them back to their respective seats.... sad.... i swear most pple from my angle were watching them instead... haha....

after the concert...i was so fresh... and hungry.... didnt go to anywhere to eat... haha.... it was so damn crowded everywhere... i had to take a train to raffles place and take back the eastwest line.... coz if i waited at cityhall... i would have to at least wait for the 3rd train... so yah.... and damn crowded too.....

oh .... after concert... went to hmv.... was in therapy mode... so bought afew cds and vcds... haha.... gtg.... ciaoz.....
