Thursday, besides Bio FPS, was generally okay. Went window-cd-shopping at gramophone and HMV, seems like gramophone is stocking up on an RCA-france cheap label that i fancy. 2 cds of rvw's symphony 3-6 for <$30, when i have enough money to spend i might just buy it.

We had dinner (treated) by Mr. Ong, and so we bought chocolates in return for him. I mean, he's one of the only teachers that treats people to lunch/dinner and etc., and he teaches very interestingly as well (the only teacher that I know that talks about bio, physics, chinese, history, lit, ss and geog in a CHEM lesson).

Went for Prometheum 12, and was very entertaining. 1st half wasn't exactly tip-top, although 2nd half was highly entertaining, especially when one sees jerald han doing a solo. So cool right?

"Never let you down."

Friday was bad. I overslept past bishan MRT and woke up halfway between bishan and angmokio so i wasted quite a bit of time.

Rehearsal was fine, but there was somewhat of a highlight (or rather, lack of)

halfway through william tell...

Lights go off all of a sudden.

"William Tell" continues, then breaks down since no one can see anything.

As I/Kai Cheng check the lights, trombones start playing the theme of the finale of Shostakovich's 5th Symphony.

I laughed.

If you have ever heard that piece you will know why I laughed. How appropriate.

Today was quite fun. The mini-rhsl i had was quite fun and cool, except the place is quite ulu and i need to prac more.

Then was the RI Open House, where Zhiyuan was having conducting sectionals.

And then we decided to do random stuff including "improvisations on a theme of DSCH" and went crazy playing atonal music. We just went mad in front of the parents lar.

And now i dont feel so stressed anymore. besides concert.
