    Goodbyes
  • OUR final lecture.
    ++Wednesday, April 20, 2011 ++


    It all started when Mr H asked if I would like to join the

    rehearsals and performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony -

    (you know) I nodded.

    That happened during my entrance audition, which was March 2008.

    It subsequently led to a quartet performance, and a Germany concert tour -

    all before July when we officially began schooling.

    _____


    Today, as classmates for 3 years, we had our final lecture together.

    Taking a class photo became mandatory, to commemorate our friendship,

    and the eventful 3 years we spent here.

    All memories, whether sweet or sorrow - are now archived.

    _____


    I wonder if I shall bring my camera to school tomorrow,

    to take some snaps of our last schooling day;

    and so I left the 18-135 EF-S lens in school (deliberately!), the answer is apparent, NO?


    Ancient Facts & Figures: Mervin, Ji Min and I first met and befriended each other

    in this very hall during an evening rehearsal in March 2008.

    I miss our baby quartet. Min Jin, where are you???

    _____


    Now now... Let's work towards our final recitals!

    Alles Gute!

    I thought I must have misplaced it, and I was damn emo.

    Searching through the practice rooms, the music office, the reception...

    It was no where to be found.

    Then there it was - in my locker, afterall.

    Not at the compartment I usually keep it though.

    I hate metronomes,

    but I treasure this very one which I've been using since I was a kid.

    It had seen me growing as a musician.

    Alles Gute!

    NOPE, it wasn't national day.

    We were merely spicing things up -

    an interlude to our daily practice.

    P/S: Specky, long hair. That was Didier when I first knew her.

    I guess we've all transformed for the better.

    Bonne chance!

    the boys, and the gals.
    ++Sunday, April 10, 2011 ++


    Lotsa stress lately- be it school, family or friendship.

    I'm in deperate need to chill,

    and so there was the two gatherings with my high school mates.

    Similar identies we have - coming from the same hometown,

    pursuing our tertiary studies in this lion city.

    The moments we spent together was priceless.

    Watching landing airplanes dashing through right above us;

    and making fun 'bout 阿拉 and his 干捞面... oopsies!

    When is our next outing, mates?

    Alles Gute!

    bye bye Háry János!

    5th April 2011. 8 p.m. Lee Foundation Theatre.

    For us as Year 3 students,

    it was the final orchestral concert we get to perform together.

    The date for our final recital is drawing closer -

    Let's work towards showcasing our best.

    18th May... I smell freedom already! ^^


    Whether in Singapore, or as far as Germany,

    Ji Min was the one helping me with the bowtie before concerts. Thanks buddy!


    A final chord. ♫

    Alles Gute!

    JFK, CDG or LHR?
    ++Tuesday, April 5, 2011 ++


    My sister and I have a deal,

    that before the end of the world (LOL... I mean 2012 ^^),

    we will travel together to somewhere far from home.

    Shop, eat, drink, party... Live the way we desire.

    Where will it be? JFK, CDG or LHR?

    Alles Gute!
