back to the same old saturdays..

it's back to orchestra practice.. =) no more lazing around at home on saturdays.. although i don't really treat practices that seriously, i still enjoy hanging out with a crazy bunch of friends, whom every now and then you can discover something new about them.. haha..

and these people have been quite supportive towards my philippino trips, i must say.. haha.. especially with the one last december.. i've managed to gather quite a lot of stuff from them, and of course they show their support by not deterring me from going.. haha.. =) that, i really appreciate it a lot..

and of course, i get to travel to switzerland with these people, and it was really fun.. =) i bet my parents won't let me go, if not for the excuse of having to perform.. oops.. haha..

even though there were moments when i was down in the orchestra, somehow i'm still in there now.. haha.. i do need a space to rant on unhappy things happening in the orchestra at times, yeah? haha.. the recent harp incident has been quite an issue, and as an half-pail-water-harpist, i can't help but feel a bit helpless when it comes to providing solutions for the problem.. even though it's not anyone's fault, and nobody wish that to happen either, but still.. sigh..

copying scores for the orchestra isn't any easy job at all.. besides the low pay for a laborious and brain-cells-killing job, it is stressful too, especially when the orchestra starts to find mistakes in your work, and finds it hard to comprehend or when the mistakes get too bad.. worse, if you are sitting there listening to people pointing out all the mistakes.. =(

but laughter keeps one going, which perhaps explains why i'm still in there.. haha.. yesterday's barberque was fun.. although my 'twin' helen wasn't there and i was a bit lonely at times, but it was still enjoyable lar, with other people around.. food was good, with vodka too.. *i'm not an alcoholic!!* haha.. and we ended up playing lame and stoopid games till 1+ am.. haha.. now at least i know i not stoopid.. haha..

now i have to seriously consider whether to take up private harp lessons with Ma Lao Shi.. time is not so much of the issue here.. it's (again) money.. it's always expected that private lessons would be expensive.. and i couldn't possibly ask my mum to pay for it, besides, it is my interest, and my parents have been paying for all my music courses for almost 10 years.. the money i've been earning are for other purposes too, like my end-of-year mission.. haha..

*pouts* i can't think any more..
