I'd better blog before my blog goes on hiatus again! haha!
TUESDAY!!!Went out with Nette on Tue to mug and caught a movie after that. We watched 'Slumdog Millionaire'. It's really nice but kinda sad to see the harsh life the Indians led (in the movie lah!)... Sighs... My favourite part is the part when Jamal called Latika in his last question. Instead of asking Latika the final question, he actually asked about her well-being! Cos his ultimate intention of joining 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' was to find Latika. Knowing that she's safe, he'd rather give up on the top prize cos he had achieved his aim. Nice right!
THURSDAY!!!Returned to Nanyang to watch NYCO's audi prac on thur. Don't wish to comment anything, but I'd say that they've improved a lot since Chinese New Year. Well, there's still room for improvement! ;) OH YES, Laiweng wanted to give Mrs Ee a surprise that the three of us (Ester, me and her) learnt suona, but surprisingly, Mrs Ee already knew about it! When I just arrived at the audi, Mrs Ee asked, 'How's HCCO's erhu??' *bright smile* And the rest of the co started laughing. I was feeling blur at that moment, so I replied with an 'ERRRRRRRRR....' Only till break when I went to xianyue, then Yingxuan told me that Mrs Ee was the one who announced to NYCO that the three of us learnt suona. LOL! So she asked that question deliberately cos she already knew I 'switched' section. -.- Quoted from Denise, 'Mrs Ee has her own sources!' LOL!
FRIDAY!!!As usual, Friday's a JINGYING DAY! It was Shunta's first time wearing his army uniform n he looks funny in it. HAHA! Before GE was GE soccer match, DAJI vs XIANYUE. Didn't watch, so Im not sure who're the players. But according to Yuheng (though he's from tanbo, he represented xianyue ytd), xianyue lost. lol! Sherry's AEP friend came to discuss concert designs with us. Her art is really good! Her drawing of the sweet wrapper was very real! I really look forward to see our concert designs! HEHH!!
SATURDAY!!!Today's my fifth lesson with jls! I think suona is getting more and more interesting and jls is a very nice teacher! Hehh! We were supposed to have sectional lunch at Golden Rooster at 12.30, but all of us were 15min late. LOL! (ehh no, i was supposed to be punctual, but SOMEONE reached Woodlands interchange late. haha!) Golden Rooster was super crowded at that time, so we packed to school and ate at Laiweng's class bench (cos she has a cool class bench haha!). This time we're smart. We bought our snacks before going to school, so we do not have to run to coro to get food during our break. HAHA! While we were eating, we met Chris Seah (suona senior) lol. He joined us for the first 20min of our prac.
After lunch, we were intending to prac the technical stuffs before jls came. Unfortunately when we were finally ready, jls arrived. Lol. Jls got chris seah to teach us for the subsequent two weeks cos he has performances. Wonder how it's going to be like being taught by him... HAHA! I like my shao zi today cos it's slightly sharp. In other words, I could use less qi4 to blow to get the notes in tune. Hehh! Oh! And my gao1 yin1 improved today! Cos I could (finally) chao1 chui1 on my zhongsuo (after two weeks of failed attempt)! (yes, i'm getting it!!!) Pracced both the syf pieces today. I feel lucky to have Tammy, the zhongsuo pro, cos with her around, I can hun4. :P HAHA jkjk, of course I'll prac my parts till I can play lah! There's a part where the zhongsuo has to use the pinky to press all the notes. It's super tough especially when the lower register is a little retarded (in the sense that the note either comes out late or nvr comes out at all). Amazingly, Tammy could do it! Apparently I hunned4 at that part (by playing the first and last note haha!)OH! Our vibrato has improved too! I'm so happy! HAHAH! But the frequency is still quite inconsistent. Yay, nvm. Practice makes perfect! (: I think the vibrato thing is very fun. LOL!
Today I made a big discovery --- Chinsian is actually a very funny person! When Tammy almost fell, she was such a saddist that she kept laughing at Tammy. As we were walking to coro after prac, Chinsian almost slipped and fell. Tammy was the only one who witnessed it (i think) but she didn't even laugh like Chinsian did previously. AMUSINGLY, Chinsian laughed like crazy about her fall. Though I wasnt sure of what she was laughing about, I also laughed like mad cos I found her laughter very amusing. LOL! Jasmine asked, 'Sheila! Why are you laughing so hard? Do you even know what you're laughing about?' I replied, 'HAHA! I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT I JUST FIND CHINSIAN'S LAUGHTER VERY FUNNY!' Then Jasmine started laughing at me. LOL! VICIOUS CYCLE. HAHA! Then Jasmine told me about something similar that happened during our NYCO committee step down:
Chinsian was running towards me, but somehow, she slipped and fell. As expected, she laid on her knees and started laughing non-stop over her fall. At first I wanted to go and help her, but after seeing her laugh, I couldn't stop laughing that other people had to help her instead.
HAHAHA! I cant even remember this incident already lah! Oh well, I think suona xiaous are very fun! It makes me look forward to saturdays!(: MY TEMPORARY SECTION, SUONA AND JIN LAO SHI! <33333
