holiday rehearsals

I wonder if any of u out there actually thought of what mr chan said today (well, besides the ppl whom i know will think about it). I wonder how many of u were actually affected by it. Oh well.

But whatever it is, I am inspired by what he said and i am determined to get Mendelssohn right. After listening to it and practising it and enjoying it so much, I don't think any of you can bear to see mr chan just take it off the programme can u?

If u can, U ARE INHUMAN.

haha. either that, or u just don't like making music as a group; in other words, u don't deserve to be in chamber.

"I don't have a problem with u at all if u don't get it. I have a huge problem when u don't even try".

So, please practise! and practise smart. Do it slow first, use metronme, etc. And another thing -- don't rush!!!! I cant emphasise this more. Its everyone's fault, including mine (i am guilty of it too, ahh); but if everyone at least tries not to switch to autopilot mode but watch mr chan and listen to the other sections, we should be fine.

Maybe even move a mountain or two? Mind u, NOT volcanoes. They only mean disaster =p

Each section needs to be more united as a section too. And cellos and basses, we CANNOT succeed without u guys! U are the most crucial now. So please try hard k? :) I just hope that all of u have the same goal in mind: making this work. And not just play to get by. Because the pieces we play have its own priceless rewards. And not anyone has the opportunity to play, so treasure it.

Serious things aside, i took interesting photos today! hahaha. however my camera won't be available anymore starting from tmr onwards...it will be in hongkong and china...so joshuanaught! please bring ur camera every single day, and rmb to charge it. We need to compile the pics soon.

Anyway:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAMILTON! :D
