SYO concert today... i must say i'm pretty impressed.. i went for the concert thinking that it'll prob be one of those "normal" concerts the SYO has been putting up.. Casteels really has the magic touch.. i bet everyone who was in the audience agrees wif me... compared to the Rach 3rd concert, it was a MAJOR improvement! well done everyone! =) And of course, the musicians get credit too!
soloists were great too.. unlike the french cellist? the one who came and played schumann and missed like one whole entire section of the work.. i don't remember if he was french??.. but i must say tt Jon did a great job.. it did blow me away.. vieuxtemps almost rose up from his grave to applaud for u jon.. haha.. and yes.. the bassoonist did a fantastic job too.. thought i can tell tt the orch almost died of boredom wif all the "pom cha cha cha x a zillion times" haha.. it's classical! well done to both soloists! oh yes.. i thought they deserved more rounds of applause.. tried to keep the applause going.. but failed.. and stupid audience only know how to clap at the wrong moments... like for Holst...
Holst planets... after i heard Mars.. i knew the rest of it was going to be good.. i was very impressed wif the comical mvt..think it was 3rd mvt.. was it mecury?? the unbroken line that was passed from one instrument to another.. amazing.. impressive.. tremendously well done!.. very impressed wif that.. Holst was good.. brasses were powerful for once.. and i just can't really complain about any section for this concert.. well done everyone! Oh yes.. other than the "hidden female choir".. why were they so flat??..kinda wasted..otherwise it would have been really good.. oh well.. overall it was a fantastic concert. =)
Jon was just so overwhelmed wif gifts and congratulations aft the concert... he deserved it.. i didn't even have a chance to shake his hand.. just passed him the card..hope he read it and didn't drop it since he had a pile of stuff to carry.. i must say Joel's quite poor thing too.. helping his bro carrying so much stuff.. Post concert events weren't that fantastic..other than congratulating the syo ppl for a job well done..i saw ppl i didn't want to see..
someone tell me why it hurts so much when u actually hate that person but at the same time just can't seem to get over him? tell me why when he's with someone else, i ought to be gleeful and claim that they're a perfect match (as in equally disgusting) but i just can't? tell me why i just have to keep bumping into them? tell me why they're ALWAYS walking in my direction no matter how many circles i turn? God's playing a joke on me? Why does it seem to matter when it doesn't really matter? Why am i still overwhelmed with emotions when i see them? It's over, i know. Why can't i let go? If he's reading this, he'll prob be smiling to himself tt he got what he wanted? Why should i let someone of that calibre laugh at me? Why can't i have the strength to just walk past them and shoot arrows at them? Why was i so indecisive bout entering Cartel, knowing that no matter what, we'll still enter? Why was i worried bout how to face them when they should be worried bout how to face me?! Why was i even avoiding eye contact with them? Why does all these have to happen?
wide range of emotions tonight??.. yes yes.. i would think so too.. just that it didn't exactly end on a very happy note.. thank God that my friends were there for me..
God bless all and me too!
