5th day of school exam

Hello everyone!
I'm back again.
This moring's BM paper 1 was pretty easy.
Although i only wrote 357 words(min 350),
but i think i got quite a good chance of doing well.
As 4 Moral,
the 1st part was easy.
The second part(essay) was hard.
I guess maybe it's the 1st time we had essay 4 moral,
so we think it's hard.
Anyway, I'll stop writing about school life.
I guess nobody's gonna read my blog if
everything i write is about school.
Now, 4 my music life.
4 those who likes classical music,
there will be a classical concert(or performance)
organised by Avant Garde Music Academy.
It will be held on the 12th of June 2009.
I still don't know the exact time yet but i know it's in the afternoon.
It will be held at RTM auditorium.
The price of the ticket is RM10.
I can't pretend that i'm not exited about it
cause i'm gonna perform!
Yeah, finally i can perform!
This will be the second time i'm performing on the piano.
The 1st time was when i'm still grade 5.
Now, i'm diploma standard.
I guess i'll be better than b4.
Besides me, a few more very talented n good people r gonna perform.
One of them is Morgan Then.
Christian Law is gonna perform too.
Besides them, I know that Philip Law is oso gonna perform.
So, 4 those classical music lovers out there,
especially those from Avant Garde Music Academy,
don't miss the opportunity 2 watch this memorable performance.
Well, i guess that's all 4 now.
Nothing more to say.
Hope to be able to update my blog soon.

Performance at the Spring!!!

No time to post for last whole week cause of practises.....

Anyway, yesterday was the performance day at the Spring.

I didn't went for the afternoon 1(2-4pm) cause i'm busy.

But i did went for the night 1( 7.30-10pm).

How's the performance?

Well..... It was the BEST perfomance i've ever joined.

WOW! The G-5 were absolutely faboulous!

Eugene was just AMAZING!

When we 1st began, there seem to be only a

countable amout of people watching.

Then, when Eugene went on stage,

all the people in Spring seem to be gathering around us!

Man, i wish i have the attracting ability that he posesses.

Other than him, Morgan was electrifying!

All of his piano solo seem to be PERFECT!

The MC of the night, Christian was not bad either.

He pulled out great stuff since he only had

2 days to practice cause he just came back from Australia.

Bryan was awesome.

His clarinet was so nice.

The drummer, what's his name again? I forgot 2 ask.

He was very good considering the fact that

he didn't have time 2 learn the last piece

and it was the 1st time he played it.

So much for the G-5, about the 3 clarinetist.

Bryan, he's the best among the 3 of them.

Jordan, he's fabulous!

Camillus, he awe-inspiring!

He played a solo piece dedicated to his parents cause

it was their anniversary.(oh, how sweet of Camillus)

At the end, he even shouted "Daddy Mummy, I LOVE U!!!"

Now finally, about our performance.

Our group consist of 1 pianist, 2 flutist and 2 saxophonist.

Samuel was our pianist.

Joshua was our 1st flutist.

Beatrice was our 2nd flutist.

Philip was our 1st saxophonist.

And i'm the 2nd saxophonist.

Our performance was about perfect.
But in the midst of the seniors and pros,

we seem like.......(u know what)

The other groups played with background music

and they copy music from the Net or books.

But we wrote our piece ourselves!

And we had no background music.

So we were the umm..... not so good ones.

Anyway, it was a fun and interesting night.

I really missed it.

I hoped that we would be able to perform with

each other again.
Here are some pics we took at the Spring:

Band Performance at The Boulevard!

Tonight, we had a band performance at Boulevard.
To me, it was a total success!
It was quite fun and enjoyable.
If I got the chance to join St. Joseph school band again,
I will definitely join.
One of the interesting thing that happened is when Waie had his solo part,
All the girls started to shout "Waie! Waie!"
To tell u the truth, it was funny.
Waie sure does have a lot of fans....
(at least i think he got more fans than Timothy)
We perform about 16 pieces.
But then, they said that we need to perform once more
because we were asked to perform for 2 hours.
So, in the end, we finished at about 10.15 pm.
I wanted to join the performance at Boulevard on 24 dec 08,
but my parents won't allow.
So, finally, I didn't went to the performance rehearsal.
Wariq also decided not to join.
Well, that's all for tonight................

Performance Night At The Boulevard!


Tonight will be the night St. Joseph School Band performing at the Boulevard.

I'm joining them tonight so i feel excited and nervous at the same time.

This morning, we had a rehearsal at Boulevard.

It was okay......

After the rehearsal, one of the organisers, Mr. Gary,

ask Wariq and i to perform on 24th Dec 08.

i was shocked.

Ok, so this guy wants me to perform another time with another group at Boulevard?!!

i said i'll think about it.

I told him that i may not be able to attend the practises and performance.

That's because i still hav practises for the performance

at the Spring on 27th Dec 08.

He said that i don't need to worry about transportation problem.

He says that he can pick me up.

He also added that tonight, there will be a rehearsal.

If the rehearsal went well, we don't need to rehearse again.

I told him that i'll think about it.

Then, i thought of something.

I ask him whether he needs a guitarist or drummers or other musicians

He said that he needed a few other types of instruments playng.

So, i recomended him to Jackson Lim and his band, the e-clips.

I ask Gary to call Jackson and when he heard Jackson's voice,

he recognises him because they met each other at Banditogether 2008.

Gary ask Jackson where he is and surprisingly, he is in Boulevard!

Jackson come out to the main entrance and they started to discuss about the performance.

Jackson says that his band bass guitarist(which is han lun) is in KL.

Gary said that they need a bass guitarist.

So, Jackson phoned a few of his band members and friends.

Then....................

I didn't know what happened.

My dad was already there to pick me up.

Well, tonight, i guess it will be an exciting night.
Here are some of the pics of our performance:

The band was conducted by Jason Yeo, an ex-josephian.

Omens of Love




Alexander's Ragtime Band

What A Great Holiday!!!


Wow! This hols is really proving to be an exciting one. Many things happened during this period of time!

1st:
The Avant Garde Charity Concert was held on 29th December 08. I was performing 3 times that
night! Don't get overexcited, cause it's not a solo performance(thank goodness), it's a group
performance! Man, it's a scary and nervous night! If i do something wrong then, i'm dead!(Or that's what
Mr. Ant says) Anyway, I've somehow managed to do everything right that night. However......when our
group was performing , something went wrong with the speaker system! The music beat was too
soft! It was disastrous! Two of our keyboardist(Sam n Jolynn) were so nervous(that's what they say after
the performance!) Luckily, we still managed to pull out gret stuff. As for the other two performances, it
was 99%, no,100% perfect! St. Joseph school band n Greenroad school band was Terrific! <Gonna
Fly Now> sounded just like the original version(maybe, maybe not). But..... in , the
Tomorrow> the little kids that are singing sang so badly out if tune that if not for the good music that we
play, no one would hav enjoyed it!(just kidding, to anyone who reads this: no offense. Don't sue me when u read this!) Anyway, i would like to thank everyone who has participated in this concert.

This is the group that are playing <Omens of Love>
