三月天

NUSCO《三月天 - 汇》演出已落幕，乐团再一次证明我们是有水准的。

今年演出的曲目，有挑战性，有好一段时间没有听到乐团演奏这样的曲目了。在真正演出时，我有被感动到。听到从观众席传来的掌声，我替乐团感到高兴。

第一次以局外者身份听乐团演奏，感觉。。不一样。七年了，我倒是还有一点点想念在台上拉胡的感觉。演出前的兴奋和演出后的满足感，也算是总结一年来大家一起辛苦练习的成果。今年不上演出，我为自己找了借口。曲目太难了，参与演出的“老将”少了，工作开始繁忙了，我累了。

这只不过是一些烂借口。

一个人对音乐的执着和热诚，不足以被这些烂借口阻扰。也许，我对音乐的执着和热诚开始动摇了。

选择引退，也许不是一件坏事。“老将们”总不能一辈子留在乐团，总得让小伙子们有个机会表现。我也不想因为工作上的不顺利而影响练习的情绪。为乐团默默地付出，我想，这就足够了吧。

将来能否再次拿起二胡坐在台上，再说吧。是时候让自己好好休息了。

I wished

I wished life could be simpler.

I wished life was just about sitting down quietly watching the sunset.
I wished life was just about doing what you like to do.
I wished life was just about travelling around the world.
I wished life was just about being together with the people you love.
I wished life was not just about money.
I wished life was not just about working like a dog.
I wished life was not just about enduring what people might think and say about you.
I wished life was not just about satisfying others, and ending up sacrificing yourself.

If only life could be simpler.

Pilipinas Got Talent II

It would be a pity if I don't showcase the amazing talents the Pinoys have. More wonderful performances from the reality show Pilipinas Got Talent.

(Videos are with English subtitles! Yeah!)



*He really sounds like the original lead singer of the band Journey.



*My favourite so far. :)

No more OCBC Cycle

One day, there was a girl (an idiot for one) named Yuhui. She was supposed to go for the OCBC Cycle challenge on this day and she was rather excited about it.

The day before the challenge, all her friends were discussing about the reporting time. The flag-off time was scheduled at 6am, which would have meant that all of them would need to report at around 5am, which would also imply that she would need to leave the house by 4am. Everyone was afraid that they wouldn't be able to wake up on time, and she even joked that she might not sleep after all.

And as usual, when she got home at night, she went to watch her Filipino shows and played her daily Killer Sudoku. At around 12+am, she decided to catch some sleep. She set her alarm, and then sank into her bed.

At 3am, she stirred up and checked the clock. Thinking to herself, she could have another 30 mins of sleep and she went back to bed.

The next thing she knew, it was already 6am and she had 26 missed calls on her mobile phone. She was so irritated with herself, for being such a pig and an idiot. Then she realised that she had set the alarm wrongly. 3.30am on the weekday mode. BAMZ.

At that moment, she really wished she could do something to vent her anger and frustration. A run, a photoshoot, or something. She saw her work file on the table, and started doing her meeting minutes.

She regretted her stupidity, and couldn't wait to be away from this country.

A tour guide once again

The past week has been somewhat bustling with activities. I became a tour guide, once again. Well, I'm the ambassador of Bago City. :D I hope my friends have had a good time spent here, and I wished they could have stayed longer, not because there are that many places in Singapore to tour around, but because I just want to see them. :)


No prizes for guessing where this is. :)

I really really really miss everybody in Bago City. I can't wait to be back. That will come pretty soon. :)
