Personaly i like the thursday concert. I think it's quite good (coz i didn't screwed up). i felt extremely high after playing it. however, the friday one is really disappointing. Mr Li Chuan Yun is a GREAT violinist!!! the violin looks alive in his hands and his fingers really look like FLYING on the fingerboard!! it's us who screwed up his playing (came in wrongly, not together with soloist, out of tune, blah blah blah...). I guess we simply cannot accompany others =.=lll

On thursday, our section went for section lunch together (exclude Benjamin who had MEP test, TC who had Lab session and Rayner who rather to go to sleep than going out with us). By the time we went back to VCH, Rayner was there already. then HE BLAMED ON US FOR NOT INVITING HIM TO GO LUNCH WITH US!!! I asked him on that very morning and he rejected!!!! now he accused us for not inviting him.... wth... >.<

Before the friday concert , Dinah suddenly broke her sandals. So Yuzhe, Sandra and I walked around the whole Raffles Place with her to get her sandals (she got Band Camp aft concert and she refused to walk around with court shoes). It's not a easy task coz Raffle Place supposed to be CBD and a high class place (accoring to what we have learn in urban geog ) and it's difficult to find the kind of aunty's sandal that Dinah requested..Though we still managed to get one in the end, i felt like i had enough exercise for the whole week ..

anyway, during the rhsl, we had quite a few funny incidence going on within our session. Below will be the laughter corner :P

***********************Here It Goes***********************

Dinah was using the Beethoven Symphony 7 4th movement to do Singapore work out during the rhsl. It's really funny coz the beats actually FIT into each other! She's doing that to me, then Rayner sudden;t turned around and saw it. He gave such a funny face that Dinah laughed until her tears were out :P

***

Tedson was doing the " hey yoz what's up" handshape to us doing the rhsl. it looks funny coz it's quite random for him to do that. We asked him to do it to Rayner. He stunned for a moment, then HE DID IT BACK TO TEDSON!!!

it's then our turn to stun. after 10 sec, Dinah started to form a cross using her fingers and shown it to Rayner. Tian Chen did the Catholic prayer actions. Sandra was wondering is it Rayner or Rayner's twin brother. i juz looked at all of them and laughed :P

***

Dinah:"Rayner , do you know why i always sit down and play bass?"

Rayner:"dunno"

Dinah:" coz i can't stand you"

Rayner:"....."

***

We were playing bridge as a section before the thursday rhsl. at the end of the game, Dinah realised her partner was actually Rayner. she practically THREW AWAY all the cards in her hands and screamed aloud :"OMG, why are you my partner! I dun want you to be my partner!"

***

After Rayner got piss off by whatever Dinah did and decided to leave us to join the other table formed by RI guys, Benjamin replaced him and continue the game. he won the bid and call for King of Heart. however, when he is calling for partner during the game, nobody appears to be his partner. then Dinah suddenly realised she took the wrong desk of cards that are short of 2 cards! which means Benjamin had no partner need to win 9 sets all by himself! [it's until the end of the game that we realised it's Tedson who tried to play on Ben and hid the fact he is Ben's partner :P]

***

Aft wed's rhsl, Dinah and I went home by MRT together. at City Hall, Dinah's eyes suddenly light up BRIGHTLY . then i realised a foreign not bad looking guy juz enter the door (really typical thing that Dinah will do). [p.s. Dinah's standard for her future boyfriend is : 1. AngMo 2. Rich 3. Handsome]

Before that Dinah was wondering shall she alight at Paya Lebar or Tanah Merah. Aft she saw tt guy, she decided she will alight at Tanah Merah so that she can spend more time looking at him. Half way, the guy suddenlt ALIGHT AT KEMBANGA!! Dinah was screaming :" NO~~~" and the whole MRT was suddenlt very quite. everyone was looking at Dinah and her desperate action. Quite embarrasing though coz i was juz beside her :P but it's really fuuny.

******************************* End*******************************

This is the 2nd last concert i am playing for YO this yr. maybe for the rest of my life. Dinah, Rayner and I are leaving for A'level break after the July concert. According to Rachael, YO is thinking abt transforming into a 18 yrs old and below orchestra (to fit into the name of Singapore National YOUTH Orchestra), so all the cureent JC2 players may not be able to come back again. Sandra's Dad had appealed to Mrs Wong to let her leave right after yesterday's concert to let her concertrate on O'level. Benjamin is thinking abt leaving with us and pretend he has O'lvl break (though he's in IP programme of DHS). It's quite sad to think abt leaving the YO Bass section coz i am really close to all of them inside =(.. but i guess i cannot run away from it. that's the way life is..

Lastly, Jon Lee is leaving for NS after this concert. ALL THE BEST JON LEE!!! GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN IN NS ~~
