the original sin
this morning we went out of school for mcdonald's! i got weiyang to try the hotcakes with ice cream. and then we were walking around ntuc looking for sushi and i got a salmon handroll. omg so nice. all this while, jia en was taking her time to finish three hotcakes (42 minutes).
i was reminded of how old my black shoes were when i put them on today. they're peeling like crap, and i never got round to throwing them away. i always kept telling myself at every syo concert that i'll soon stop using the black shoes, so i shouldn't throw them away to buy a new pair. during the rehearsal today i received an sms that made me so happy. and i got cards from ruolin and annong!
famous amos cookies for everyone! omg i even had to feed amanda and zhaohan just because they didn't want to get oily fingers. surprise surprise, weicheng was outside when he reached the singapore conference hall (ugly building façade in the CBD area). eh so nice i got chocolates for helping him get the ticket to watch the syf.
listened to acs play respighi just before us. then we were on. the actual playing was, on my terms, bad. elegy threw me off-guard when something was very wrong somewhere in the counting in the first few bars. and then i really couldn't play verdi properly. on both times, i never got the quavers at figure D. i could even hear myself playing out of time and that was bad. but eight minutes just passed so quickly and we were out.
omg i felt quite shitty for a while.
as shufang said, syf is like a gathering party for musicians, because you can always get to see all the long-time-no-see friends in the musical world. i saw lenard! and he liked the cookies too i guess. everyone loves famous amos. we went back in to watch the harp ensembles. omg so nice. they all looked like floating fairies.
and the long wait for the results, during which ruolin and suhui's vjc friends behind us in the hall took my cookies too. sigh.
we all held hands just before they announced our results. omg chamber got gold with honours! which was so unexpected for me. but, oh well. that's great, right? everyone kept screaming; i guess it was like that two years ago too. we took photos at the balcony, and sang the school song.
and so that was my second last day with chamber. but i'm happy i got to play again. it's also probably the last time i'm putting on the all-black attire.
went all the way back to school to meet gordon for a gp lesson. today i learnt some quotes on socialism and communism. let's see, ronald reagan said 'how do you tell a communist? one who reads marx and lenin. how do you tell an anti-communist? one who understands marx and lenin.' winston churchill said 'socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.'
the moon's so cute tonight. i'm feeling quite dazed, because it's shocking how the exact same person can make you feel both extremes of the happy-sad emotional continuum.
i think i can finally throw away that pair of shoes.
