Concert review

In response to ame's post: Yes, indeed we need to lighten up. I know you want to help, just like what all friends would like to do. We share our joys, we share our problems, but unless one is willing to say out all of his problems (which isnt that likely), unless one has the time to sit down and talk about issues they are facing, we cannot help them at all. I indeed appreciate such friends, friends who are willing to lend a helping hand in time of need, but certain problems need to be solved by ourselves, that's part and parcel of life, and this is what make us stronger after all these problems. So dont worry too much, what you have done is sufficient already. Sometimes all we need is somebody who is willing to listen to our problems, thats all. Smile =P
To Shua, i know why you post that random post. Not having Wilford as room mate isnt the end of the world, and i still gave you water afterwards. But sorry anyway, seriously...

The concert last night was very enjoyable. Though the duration of the programme isnt worth $9 in my opinion. I especially enjoyed the first piece, Vivaldi for 4 violin. Reminds me of MEP concert when i was sec 2. I played the first movement, yay. Though the soloist werent really together with the orch most of the time, but they still made it up with their NEARLY flawless performance. I mean they are like 10-12 Years old, there's still a very long way to go. BAch double concerto was sort of owning, however, i didnt really expect the style they played in for the second movement, it just doesnt fit into baroque period, maybe i heard too much recording of that piece already. Gabriel vs Junhong still has a very big gap i must say, and i also dont understand why wilford presented flowers to Junhong, leaving the tall lady to give to Gab, its just funny.. Last movement of Holberg was nice, and me and ame jacked ourselves one time each, she wanted to clap after the violin, viola solo part, and i was laughing at her, then i told her "you can clap now" after the orch finishes the slow part, but i didnt know they were going back to the solo part again, so my bad, lucky she didnt clap. LOL. Overall, its a very nice performance, expected a 10mins piece encore though..

On a VERY VERY light note, I finally understand the trick in asking for a lift home is to ask very early, best time is even before we meet up for the concert, and there isnt a lot of people living in the west =P But nvm, reached home at close to 11 last night, lucky i didnt watch LOST, they said it was final episode then thanks a lot, there's part 2 coming up next week, maybe there's part 3 to it. Maybe all of us should watch "I am Sam" this sat at 10.30pm on channel 5, i think its a nice movie, not recommended for non-emo people. And shua, listening to Andrew Lloyd weber doesnt always make me emo, though it did last week.

Exams in 3-4 weeks time. Isnt a very long time away, nor is it very short, and i hate it so much because my bro will be happily playing away before i even start on my papers. But im grateful i got a nice home to study in, didnt know most of you need to go to library etc to study cus its too noisy at home. I mean, its so quiet here, and i like it. Arghh, Prokofiev.. hate physics. And smile =P
