...Intrepid and fearless to the infinite possibility of time assigned to play with
Confidence flowing in every syncopated emptiness they sanction.
The unstoppable ascension of music rises and rises
Like heat of mystical source in some all too familiar sauna.
It suffocates you a little,
But just a little,
And you just start sweating uncontrollably,
As if this world had the guts to make it
So even our skin cries when we feel beauty.

And it all came to an end just like that in 90 minutes...a little too soon. Although the playing last night may not be of a high standard, I felt good after the concert. It's my first ever Percussion Ensemble concert, and probably for some of the rest as well. And I'm thankful for the people who came down to support us...like the people from ACJC (just to mention a few)...Andy (the other half of the drum duet), Samuel, BJ, Qien, Joy, Samantha Ho, Ying Da...and not forgetting Matt from VJ, Dan from CJ, and Caryn and Xue Qi from AMKSS. Thanks again!
After the concert, we headed for supper, and Joel, Mich, Viv and me shared a cab (we kinda got lost after we alighted the cab =x). Nonetheless, we managed to find the place...and well we weren't the last to arrive...so it wasn't that bad. The others arrived shortly after. And there was...Me, Joel, Mich, Viv, Qi Lin, Wen Long, Andy, Sam, BJ, Qi En, Kris, Ben, Jon Tang, Dan, and Shaun. After supper, I cabbed home with Mich and Sam. After Mich got off the cab, I was alone, and this emptiness kinda just got into me. And I guess that was when I kinda realised that there was an emotional attachment to the Percussion Ensemble. remember telling Viv and Mich after the concert, "YES!!! My Sundays are finally free." Come to think of it, I think I will miss these times...when we had practices on almost everyday...cabbing to Mr Ngoh's studio in Kallang Pudding for the previous week...reaching home at about 9. Yes, it definitely did make my life much busier, but looking at it in a different point of view, it made my life much more fun. I can't imagine how free my Sundays would be from tomorrow onwards...so much so that I'll just be spacing out in the morning wondering what I should do...reminiscing the good memories during the past few Sundays, and the week before...
This is probably gonna be one of the most memorable highlights for me in this year.
Kristen, Michelle, Vivien, Wen Long, Danial, Jon Tang, Shaun, Bi Ze, Joel - The people whom I've been seeing alot these past few days, who've probably been practicing as hard as me for the concert, if not, even harder. I really hope that we can have a Percussion Ensemble similar to this again. This is one "ACS"perience that I will always remember...

Came back from Percussion practice about an hour ago. Gave Wen Long a lift. Listening to Sunset Road as i'm blogging. I guess I'm kinda addicted to it...the sax part is...(therapeutic???) It's a pity that I can't get the nice marimba solo right just as yet...at least it sounded better than Monday...sigh...GOTTA BUCK UP! Sometimes, I just find that I'm stagnating. I'm just hoping that everything will go smoothly on Friday night =X
CZARDAS!!! CZARDAS!!! CZARDAS!!! (Cha Er Da Shen Wu Qu...LOL) "The therapeutic running notes..." It keeps playing in my head.
It's midweek already and it's been a busy one. I can't wait for it to be over!!

I'm actually feeling quite crappy now. Had percussion ensemble prac just now. I guess we do sound much cleaner compared to where we started...sigh...I'm worried about my solo. The thought of the entire concert falling apart this friday intimidates me alot. It's sort of like an investment kinda thing where I invest my time into practicing, when I could have been doing my school work, and if the performance screws up, everything will just go down the drain.
SIGH!~...

Caught Harry Potter on Wednesday...didn't think it was fantastic or even good at all...
Well then again...which Harry Potter film was great????
Band Night is coming real soon...I really wonder why it's in August...when the prelims are just around the corner...and it's so difficult for me to sell the tickets. DANG!
But first...there's presentation in 3 days time...
