yay! back at home liaoz.... blardee hell... shack week for me.
consonance put up the concert yesterday.... and it was lucky for me to be able to book out to join the concert, though i kanna a lot of stupid arrows to get out of the fucking camp... and even when i reached back camp at 2345, i still have to do work (clean weapons) until 3am in the morning... haiiz...
but, all was worth it.
....
i dunnoe what shld i say for the concert. i wasn't in a very good shape to sing yesterday. throat was in a really bad condition from all the smokings in camp, cough a lot here and there...
but i felt happy.
it was a good concert, even though we were still rushing things at the very last minutes (blardee program booklets...)
everyone had a hard time in putting up this concert, and everyone sacrificed a lot of time, money, and effort to make everything possible.
many things are the first time for consonance and for me. first time collaborating with vox humana, first time singing an 8-part song, first time holding half the concert ourselves, first time working with greg and ben for a concert, first time having a "commercial break" (blardee, i missed watching that part cos i have to close the damn door at the other side), and i first time do the choreography for humpty dumpty (...okay, it's second time if u want to count the 10 mins i had in mayflower yesterday).
oh, itz also the first time i had to rush from camp to concert, and concert back to camp. i dun want to have a second time for this though. from the few comments i managed to have, consonance was pretty well recieved. i think we all did well, as a musician and as a performer. we tried our best to bring the correct mood of the music across to the audience, and we went an extra mile to create entertainment for the audience too. the commercial break was definitely a blast lah! (and again, farking hell, i missed it.... *&%*#!^$*)
and of cos, i love kasar! (haiiz... but we really made quite a few mistakes for that song...)
consonance is something that has always trapped me in a corner, and make me have a lot of mixed feelings, and makes me feel very emotional abt it. to those who knows me, and those i've spoken many of my deeper views abt consonance will understand me.
but consonance is oso the place i've made many great friends whom i can trust wholeheartedly. emotionally and mentally, it has also always been supporting me (though this sound really weird... cos it oso the one that made me super emotionally and mentally AND physically drained too). and end of it all, it has always end up making me feeling very happy.
all in all, this is a very good concert. and again, i m both proud of consonance, and be a part of it. =)
while everyone has been giving credits and thanks to greg, ben and zhengchang, i think we should also thank one more person.
and that is, Deqiang. (dun need to describe why bah i guess?)
and of cos, there are many pple whom have been working behind quietly. i thank you all too. you all know who u are. even if u all dun, i still know who u are. =)
to whoever from Consonance that might be visiting this blog, esp to those performing this coming friday,
pls push for more sales!!!
i will be helping on this once i can confirm joining this project.... *pray*
on a sidenote, the word "consonance" appeared on Dan Brown's book, 'Angels and Demons', Chapter 134 page 553, 5th line from the bottom (publised by Pocket Books Friction)
last day of the singing spree... shiok.... finally my throat can have some rest.
anyway, humpty dumpty is still like shit lah!! blardee hell.... tenors need to work really hard for this song siah... haiiz... but for me, dun have any more chance to go for practices liaoz. going to be back in camp liaoz... sianz...
and huishih juz msged me that she wun be coming for the concert liaoz... one less ticket sales. hmmm....
super over lah! sing until siao liaoz..... juz had one whole day of singing.... and tml morning (actually, itz already past midnight... so no more tml...) it starts at 9am lah! all the way to 5pm.... lucky tml's songs are easy easy songs.... probably can anyhow sing still okay....
but today's practice quite fruitful.... though at mayflower din really complete much, but at least i've cleared out some wrong notes on Crucifixus, and got the timing much better for Humpty Dumpty. and finally at gek's hse, managed to get Kasar together liaoz man!!!! YEAH!!! kasar, the biggest hurdle, is more or less conquered and memorised!!
overdosaged.... but i love singing man! esp when u finally managed to get the damn song right! love kasar...
anyway, james gave me a call, asking if i can tuition his.... cousin?? can't remember the relationship liaoz... maybe friend... someone who juz came back from US? can't remember oso....
now come to think of it, i think i agreed a tad too fast.... i realised, what can i teach?? she wants maths tuition on calculus... but, ask me do i can do, but teach a bit different.... gotta read all those fundamentals and proving again, solve questions to know what kinda varieties of questions are there....
and oso, i may not have the time to commit to it oso leh.... going back for reservist in....3 days time. that means, 2 weeks gone.
come back from reservist, got bishan park secondary school's performance to prepare a bit.... till 5th of july.
then hongkong trip, that takes another one week.
and she probably juz want to have the tuition till august.... i dun have time to read up, nor have time to coach her... jiat lat.
hey, james, if u read this post here, do give me a call. i dun mind helping ur friend, but i dun think i have enuff time to give proper coaching or commit. can still teach her, but i dun think i wan the money. paiseh, dun feel confident enuff to responsibly coach ur.....cousin/friend.
i juz realised... i will be singing 6 days in a row for this week...

1. waking up at 7:40am, and meet the Consonance at Serangoon Bus Interchange at 8:30 (slept at 2+am... sianz) 2. waited, and took a long photo shoot till 11am 3. ate lunch at Serangoon Garden after photo shoot 4. went back home with Charlene, Joyce, Edlina and Dolly, and watched Cadenza III again... laughing at Charlene here and there 5. went to ben's hse at 2pm, choir prac till 6:10pm..... super tiring prac though... esp for KASAR!!!! 6. took a cab down with Charlene and Joyce to meet Stella for dinner at The Rice Table, Indonesian Restaurant... super nice 7. took another cab down to bishan, reaching at 9pm, giving Charlene a trip as well since she is meeting client at Yishun. As for me, i went for Wild Empire BBQ 8. TOOK another cab home after the Wild Empire stuffs ended... reached home at 12 mn.... bathed, online, talked cock with wen lee, deqiang and chen peng.... and writing this piece of shit blog
and.... was wondering how did zicong do for this sem..... his MSN nick is quite... scary.....
've bought a new book to read.... shld be able to finish it by next weekend.... then i can buy another book to go into reservist... (wld it be another Dan Brown's book? think so.... am thinking of reading Harry Potter too.... never gotten to read them yet...)
seems like i will be able to do quite a bit of reading this holidays.... so much so that itz more than what i've done for so many years (of cos, other than reading my notes and textbook.... those i think each sem i read thousands of pages lah!)
was surprised that this sem ain't my worst sem though.... i've managed to ace human factors engineering which really shocked me. but thatz a pleasant shock though..... at least the stupid "airbourne" mistake din kill me... hahahahaha....
but i din manage to pull my prob back to the A grade.... mid term too crappy. sianz... blardee A- for maths module really pisses me off.
but, oh well. i guess i shldn't be too greedy afterall.
