remix orchestra

did a little afternoon shopping for eason's cd. haha i was getting ready to get his autograph! and then i realised that the cd booklet was all black, and i didn't have a gold/silver marker for him to sign with =( then i went to synwin to get spare strings in case mine broke during the concert haha.

then there was too much time to spare, so i went back to raffles city to go chippy's for fried mars bars! omg the queue at donut factory was uber long. but the donuts look pretty. i walked around raffles city and looked at das erzgebirge-haus for a long time.

i never got the pass for the concert. the plan was to get him to sign on the back of the pass that had his face, and all the proof that we played in his concert =( but i do hope i got eason's signature. oh yes, ruolin's sister had a gold marker! we all passed our stuff to his manager to get him to sign it, but we wouldn't get it back till the next day. he was really so busy!

i recorded a few of the songs during the rehearsal. omg i like 富士山下 and 幸福摩天輪 so much! 世界 and 一夜銷魂 and 夕陽無限好! ah everything! 幸福摩天輪 is so bouncy and cute! eh eason's really friendly and funny. he came in during our dinner break to take photos with us! then he shook each and everyone's hands! omg his hand is really big.

the strings weren't involved in the first half of the concert, so we all stood by the side to watch it haha! and for free yay! oh he really knew how to hold his audience. and he kept dancing and jumping around i didn't know where he got all that energy from. oh he sang 'look what you've done' too. there were fireworks! not for the faint-hearted.

the concert was so fun, i really would like to do it again if i could =( it felt like being back in hong kong somehow. when he sang 幸福摩天輪, in which only a quartet played, i was listening and swinging along haha! and then when i closed my eyes i could picture everything in hong kong again. all my best memories came back clearly to me. 聖誕結 had confetti towards the end. haha everything was flying back towards us. and then i was worried if the confetti was going to attack me >.< i was wondering when the confetti would stop shooting out of the machine, but it didn't! omg there were like tonnes of confetti attacking us. the funniest was that the pianist's keyboards were all covered up in confetti, and he was scrambling to get them off before the next song!

everyone was really high at the end of the concert. omg eason shook our hands again on our way down the stage! once again, his hand is really big. then he went on to sang some encores. and everyone was screaming, waving light sticks and being really high haha! but he disappeared so quickly after the concert =( as though after he got off stage he just walked into a car and sped off.

ok, all in all it was fun. everyone was nice to work with. we made much less money than the professionals, but it was fun! haha consensual exploitation. oh but it's sad that we couldn't take back the scores with us.

i saw ms low at the expo mrt station after that haha. and i missed the boon lay train at tanah merah by a large margin. so annong and i were running to beat the crowd to the queue for taxis. but the taxis took so long to come i ended up having to pay the 35% surcharge. it cost me $17 in all to get home, but everything was fun!
