come for ac strings concert!
hello hello! i am currently listening to ravel's bolero and its making me feel very happy and dancy. only thing stopping me from bouncing around is the fact that my grandfather is sitting not too far away and will probably think im out of mind (which i guess he already thinks so, but oh well..) and naughty naughty ravel.. he incorporated jazz elements into the bolero! guess who's the nuaghty boy this time.. hmm.. havent really gotten a gown for the concert next week. or actually, ive gotten one but.. I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT! oh my goodness. in the whole entire nearly seventeen years of my life, never would i have thought that i would need, much less want to lose weight just to fit into an article of clothing.. but yes here i am. the dress/gown thingy is my aunts.. and i must say that my mother looks better in it than me. maybe its because she wasnt very nearly bursting the seams like i was.. but of all it was the best already.. the rest were.. how shall i say.. unsuitable. and yes, i would like to extend a warm invitation to everyone out there to come to the acjc strings concert, Kronos! i really wonder why they chose this name. apparently its the name of some obscure greek god who ate his own son. :S but anyway, its next friday, 12 May, Victoria Concert Hall, 5pm. i would love to say that its free, but unfortunately i cant. so, tickets are going at $15 and $20, and you can get them from who else, but yours truly.. *grins somewhat invitingly* and for those of you who actually want to know what we will be playing, here it is: sibelius suite champetre (singapore premier, apparently), paul lewis english suite (another singapore premier), vivaldi cello concerto number i dunno what, albinoni oboe concerto number either 2 of 4, i cant really remember which, granger irish tune, and another piece cant really remember what its called. the first movement is a really really pretty passacaglia and the second movement is called "touch her lips and part". talk about interesting names. but i like it. it lets me play thumb position! oh yes, let me tell you about the oboe concerto. the soloist came yesterday, and i finally heard the thing with all the parts. it is sooooo beautiful i tell you. and the soloist is good. haha, actually ive never heard an oboe up close before, but he made the second movement so piercingly nice. okay, nice is NOT a nice word. according to primary school teachers, the use of the word "nice" shows that your vocabulary is severely lacking. hmm. oh wells.. i gaurantee your money will be well-spent. so come! *nods enthusiastically* (aiyah see lah my english is definitely dying.. i dont even know if i spelt gaurantee correctly) oh yes. as much as i dont feel like complimenting another school's concert, i guess i must give hwa chong their due credit. i went for their strings conert on monday. it wasnt their awesome playing that struck me, but i must really applaud their enthusiasm and ernestness. because their theme was fatal attraction, they had this storyline thingy in between each piece. i really didnt get it until the last section. but while their acting and all wasnt that great, they kinda put their heart into it, which impressed me. cos the intention was so poetic, but then it wasnt really portrayed really well, so it was.. huh? but compared to west side story that i watched the day before, it was a commendable effort. west side story was like seemingly perfect (nothing in this world is perfect remember) but since it was their last day in singapore, theyd done this same thing for tens of times, and i can imagine it has become mundane and routine for them. and so, the energy just wasnt there. hmm.. i think.. so, well done hc!
