BBC orchestra

Somehow i am appreciating simple things in life..

Chinese O level exams ended yesterday and i thought that it wasnt that hard, unlike most of my other classmates. I'm just glad that the preparation before it was enough to make me stay calm when spamming answers. 2 hours isnt a lot, but anything more would actually make me sleep, seriously. So now, lets just wait for the results which is...

BBC concert was complete ownage. I think this is the best one i have gone to within this year. They are just super uber ultra duple powerful, the phrase is out of my vocabulary level =P Mozart's piano concerto was quite enjoyable, though its slightly different from all the recordings i have heard.EncoreS were definitely a blast. Timpani player was cool, followed the conductor's baton before playing, never out of time. All those running scales and melody by the wws were close to perfect. Double harpist, 8 double basses, 4 horns, all we need is half of their standard =P

Chan was quite funny at rehearsal today, i think he was greatly affected by how we played the bernard tan piece. I mean if you changed the meter it sounds about the same as E.T ( the music in the movie where they went on their bicycle and fly..) sounds abit jazzy, and i totally dont like to count how many times we have played the same motif.. cool piece for sightreading though with so many accidentals throwing us off time and time again. Rutter sounded great, if we can play together. And i agree that Hoe Yong is super patient (dont know whether he is reading this, hehe) apprectiate the things that he done with us, i mean just look at respighi, the first violin intro especially.. thanks =P

More 10 - 5.30 rehearsal coming up, and its 2 more weeks. I like those lunch breaks in between. Looking forward to it though. Its sort of cold tonight. Next concert this thursday and MEP paper on friday, thats why i need to study now, not really start cus i started not long ago.. Sis bday coming up, i have no idea what to buy for her, maybe just write another song bah, but i dont really have time. haha. See you all tomorrow, and please rest well, this period is called super stamina training =P
