TJC's Chinese Orchestra Concert was held at Singapore Conference Hall! So Class. Unlike Guitar Club, which is always held in the school's club. Nonetheless, Guitar Club's concert is unique in its own way!! Though it may be on a tight budget, but it's really really enjoyable! Especially last year's one! Hehe. Okay, back to the original topic. Well, this is the first time I'm watching the TJ's Chinese Orchestra Concert..(Hey, you can't blame me. No one around me seemed interested in it.).. and well, I thought it was a blast! It's really fantastic! Fabulous! Wonderful! The music was strong, emotional, powerful, and yet sweet, light-hearted, and sincere at the same time. You just got to be there to experience it! Whiled they played, you could actually imagine the entire place being transformed! They were that good!
Especially the dizi! Hehe. Of course I'll notice them. How many times did my family complain about the shrieking, ear-piercing music I create? Haha. Uncountable. Nice! The dizis sounded so nice! Hehe. So nice so nice. Of course the other instruments were fantastic too! The soloists were amazing. Just looking at their fingers fly across their instruments leaves me gaping. Just amazing.
I shall not carry on, lest I further tarnish the undescribable euphoria one experiences at the concert. =D
Hmmm.. This will be an informal post. Totally. Nothing really happy happened so far, thus the desolate state of the blog.
Even this post won't be a happy one.
Hmm. Just don't read on. Really. I have warned you.
Today has got to be the most depressing day one can ever have.
The agenda for today:
6:45 a.m. - Wake up
8:00 a.m. - Be at Temasek J.C.
1:00 p.m - Leaves Temasek J.C. and rushes to SMU
2:00 p.m. - Arrives at SMU
4:00 p.m - Leaves SMU and rushes for lessons at Simei.
4:30 p.m - Arrives at Simei.
7:15 p.m - Leaves Simei and rushes to Singapore Conference Hall.
10:00 p.m - Homeward Bound
Notice anything missing from the agenda? No? You must be blind.
Where's breakfast? Where's lunch? Where's dinner?
It's so crappy. I didn't eat at all the entire day. Never mind, too depressed to eat anyway, that's why I'm now in front of my computer typing this nonsensical entry instead of muching away on a biscuit.
In the morning, I went all the way to TJ for some prize persentation which I wished I never went. I felt really stupid there. From my entire class, no one else got the same prize as me. Damn. So there I was, sitting alone , not knowing who was on either side of me. Damn. The other two girls from my class who were awarded prizes at the presentation were seated far away from me, and lucky them, they got the same prize and thus, could sit together. So for 5 hours, I was busily trying to entertain myself subconciously, while trying not to feel like an odd ball. Okay, fine, it did not work. I felt like a total alien. Never mind, at least I had something to bring home. Oh yeah, and while they were awarding some of those really old alumnis.. (those first few batches of TJCians).. I realised that one of them might have interviewed me before. >.<
Thereafter, I went to SMU for another time-wasting event. Hmm.. well, I think you've guessed it. No one else that I know was going. So there I was, alone again in the lecture theatre, trying my hardest to keep awake while the speakers droned on and on. Hmm.. just boring, and again, it felt really weird. It's like everyone was seated wtih friends.. well, it's kinda hard to explain. Oh well, afterwards, I went to the tea reception provided, but it was the same food again. I felt as though I've been invited to a similar tea reception at least 3 times. Surprisingly, one of the lecturers approached me and she actually remembered interviewing me! Gracious. Did I leave such a bad impression? O.O
Later, it was time for some knowledge to be gained. During the journey there, I was frantically trying to complete my homework...Hey, I've been working on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday!!..but of course it could not be done. Nonetheless, I finished it during the lesson, so it's still okay. Lessons were okay. Rather interesting actually.
By 7:00 p.m, I was really famished, but still, I had to rush down to the Singapore Conference Hall. A promise is a promise after all. Upon arrival, as expected, I was late. Who can rush from Simei all the way to Tanjong Pagar in 15 minutes? Haiz, I remember asking him if I would be denied entry if I was late, but he did not give me a reply. Oh well, I was indeed denied entry. Dotz. But there were quite a number of people outside too, so maybe it's okay. The not-so-okay part would most probably be the fact that everyone had a clique whereas I was alone. Haiz, by then I think I experienced the ultimate depression. Once the ushers said that it was okay to go in, I was... I don't know how to explain that feeling. Embarrassment?.. Anyhow, I quickly found a place and sat down. It had a good view though. I could see him since he was seated at the side. So yeah, maybe that's the good part.
Then came the interval. I didn't want to move. Where could I move off to anyway? Yeah, really stupid. So I just sat there. I should have seen what was coming. I mean, this is TJ's CO!! ARGH! Of course I'll see alot of ppl I know. By then, I was really really too depressed to answer the, 'Why are you here alone' question. Thus, I just kept my eyes fixed on the programme booklet I managed to get my hands on. Come to think over it, I think I read the programme booklet 10 or 20 times. Dotz. The interval was like, really really long. Super ultra long. Way longer than long.
Haiz. CO brings back bad memories. Never mind.
Don't mistaken me though. The concert itself was really enjoyable. Truely. Just that I wasn't in the right state of mind to really feel happy then. Though, when the lights were dimmed, and the music was played, it's like WOW! Really. The concert was breath-taking. I'm serious. It makes you have this HUGE urge to want to be part of those playing.
Haiz. Crap. I'm now hungry and tired. Not a very good combination. I initially wanted to see if Burger King was still open, but I couldn't find it!! I don't know what happened. I just could not. Grrr... Never mind, tomorrow will be a better day. =P
Hi bro, if you managed to struggle through all those rantings, hmm.. well just would like to say, well done! Haha.. I saw you smiling so broadly at the end of the concert and you slumped in your chair and sighed that HUGE sigh of relief. Haha. The concert was really nice. I'm glad you invited me. Have fun and relax a little now ba! ^.^ Though I have a feeling you might be out somewhere with your friends right now. Haha..
"No, I do not regret."
