J1 Music Concert (:

I don't really know what to say...
The program was simple.
My piece didn't go well at all.
The audience turnout was like ~100 people
But I kind of enjoyed myself much more than a lot of concerts that I've been through.

After the concert, I got an sms from Adriel.
A: How did the J1 concert go?
H: Haha quite well. At least twice the number of audience you guys had last year :P
A: Oh. I can't even remember what happened for my year's lol. Why would anyone want to hear Rj music students perform is beyond me.

Then my reply was really long... ><
H: Hey don't say that lah. It's the attitude towards the concert. The performance itself isn't the key. Our pieces were all very simple but we tried to make it as fun as possible. People don't really go for FOC school concerts to watch recitals, but there to support their friends and treat it like a relaxing way to spend the evening :) That's why i don't really enjoy concerts that are there as performances (like last year's chamber concert omg ><), but concerts that are there as a way for musicians to relate to the audience, like having storylines, whacky emcee speeches, unique pieces that are maybe coupled with fun costumes like pirate eyepatches etc :D

When I go for a high quality performances, sometimes I get WOWed by it.
But when I go for simple school concerts, the program isn't that great but people do leave the place with their hearts feeling a little warmer inside :D

Haha Willette has told me not to be so emo, especially on my blogs xD
I don't know.. I think I just do a lot of self reflection myself, and when I start writing a blog post, all these feelings just start flowing out.
Just a few days ago, I asked Daniel Bonaventure, "Do I look very unapproachable?"
I guess its my image to others from the outside. I know I might be quiet. Do I really look very emo?? ><

Quiet people like Benjamin Ni and I are usually those kind of people that really seeks friendships and treasures it a lot.
I prefer to go hungry and take a bus home with Yiyang after concert rather than sit down and eat dinner alone ><
I prefer to stay with JonShin and Willette and eat dinner with them, and then eat dinner at home again -.- because I guess I really want to spend more time with friends.
Actually self reflection (or emo -.-) means I do it alone, so if I hang out more with people then that will curb it I guess =D

Shucks man, I hope I'm not going into another emo rant.
The feelings just flows out. You get what I mean right?

But point is, the concert is super fun and enjoyable. It's been a really great (and maybe somewhat tiring) experience, and I guess our music batch grew closer together :D
We must have another concert later in the year or maybe even next year and really make it a hit man =D
Yiyang will be passing me an entire recording of the concert on Monday. Anyone who wants anything just ask okay?

Yes concert is over, but still got so manythings left ><
1. I'm still stuck at Stochiometry for Chem.
2. I don't understand what the first page of the Binomial lecture notes is about.
3. I have 2 chinese compositions due.
4. Gah PI!!
5. SNYO Audition in like 2 weeks OMG ><
6. My cello teacher asked me to go play for BHSO. The repertoire is super enticing okay, especially with Chan Yoong Han starring in the Sibelius concerto. But that would burn off my sundays (and Saturdays got chamber already). I'm still at a lost whether to play for them and lag my homework more, or work on my homework but give up this wonderful experience.
7. CHAMBER SYF IN 25 DAYS. LETS OWN IT.
