Yesterday was the long-awaited, greatly-anticipated, first time ever for me, RHYTHM 22! Woots I'm so happy!!! Haha firstly I met Hui Ting at White Sands where we went to get Hui Xuan's card. Then I gave her the birthday present (pencil case + card) and then sang "Happy Birthday" to her in Japanese. Then Natalie came and we went to take prints. Realised we were late and ordered McDonalds before hopping onto her parents' car. We stopped by Natalie's house first as she forgot her tie and band badge lol. Reached DHS at 12. Took my instrument and file for the alto 1s. We boarded the last bus, reserved just for Saxes!!!! Ok then we went totally, CRAZY!!!! haha it was gift-giving time!!! We exchanged presents la (a Rhythm tradition). I gave letters to the junior high ppl and crackers to the senior high ppl. I received:
*** Hui Bin didn't bring her postcards sobs so we all didn't get anything from her... =(
Oh yeah plus a really cute bookmark that is soft, cuddly, not paper nor metal, sheep, cute bookmark from ANNABELLE!!!! Haha i'm so touched 'cos she's not in my class, cca or watever. I dun really know her, except that she is a really kind, generous and sincere person. She gave me a present for Rhythm!!! Haha thanks! =D Anyway we just reached there, rehearse, play a fool and stuff. Plus took lots of pictures. Changed into blazer.... At 7.30,
THE REAL THING BEGAN.... (Drumroll please)
Lol first up was the KangQiao peeps (not sure whether is it like that spelled, if not someone correct me in the tagboard) followed by the senior high and alumni band. Then Mozard flute concerto, Bass Clarinet Concerto and Poema Alpestre. I didn't really get to hear much of the pieces except those that I performed in, which is BC concerto and Poema but i thought the Kang Qiao people played really nice when I heard bits and pieces. The singing was not bad too. Wow I love the Percussion Concerto!!!! Anyways got no time to play Saga Maligna because we exceeded by half an hour. That was the piece in which I played the best. Haiz nvrm la I'm sure that no one intended for us not to perform that piece, only because of time constrain. Nevertheless I will always remember this concert for as long as I live. Lastly, I went home with Zi Ying and Cheng Yu. Had an enjoyable ride home and chat, only my irritating brother hor..... lols that's all!!!
