THE BEATLES

That's the theme of our this semester's concert .... amazingly ... i wrote a whole long lot of stuffs on my pc's notepad on one very lonely night somewhere in October when i couldn't go online .... but i won't post that entry because there are just too many personal stuffs in there ...

SO yeah ... The Beatles .. you know them ? How can you not!? The ever most famous band during the 1960's .... how cool... if they don't choose this theme this sem i won't know so many of Beatles' music ... and how nice they are ! AHahhaha ... We've been working on them in almost every subject ... Instrumental of course ... i wrote in the last entry that i did not post up that i get to play the drum set for the YYO and instrumental ensemble ! Which means i'm going to be playing the drums this time !!! WOOO HOO!!!! So cool ...

Thanks Uncle Charles .. you rock ... for the opportunity to play it ... so u know what , guess my experience in Sedaya wasn't wasted huh ... hahahahha for taking up drums as minor during that miserable 2 and half months there ....

Oh anyway ... not only that .. more good news coming up ... I was just talking about breaking my own record of the numbers of repertoire i'm playing on the Electone this sem ... last sem i had 7 altogether ... today marks the 9th week of the semester and i arleady have 10 songs ! WOO HOO!!! Broken ... haahhahaha ... so many of them that C.H doesn't have enough time to check all ... had to take different lessons to check different pieces .... but most importantly ist hat Windscape is 99% done .. =)

Then oh ya ... i'm more excited over the coming concert in January 07 rather than my assignments and exams .. it's like i'm so involved this time on the concert night that i'm getting a little off-focus from my "MUST DO" work ... yesterday my bunch of classmates sat down and were chatting .. they started talking about me when i wasn't around .. saying how they salute me for being able to cope and everything ... how i really work very hard for everything and so eden was telling them "

"Err.. she is super workaholic kind of person .. thats why .. she won't be able to sit still"

She's right in a way but in another way i HAVE To do it ... or in another way Jesus is the one who pulled me through ... God is great .... though i feel i have no time for myself or Him but He's always here with me .. =)

Then oh ya ... more good news ... Not only i get to play drums on concert night ... C.H asked me to be the "lucky one" to duet with Joyce and play a medley of 3 BEatles' songs ... she will be playing the melody on the piano and i will accompany her on the electone .. although the midi background has been done but i still need to re-arrange parts for myself to play .. and so u see .. i've got another arrangement job ... thanks C.H!

Besides that ... Eden and I are also the lucky Emcee's for the night! Arrrghh that i'm not too happy doing ... haahhha coz i hate writing emcee scripts ! ARrrghhh and i talk so fast my friends had to keep reminding me to control myself that night . Arrghhh ....

Oh and also ... James (jazz piano teacher) wanted to me to play Penny Lane on the piano solo but knowing there are already plenty of piano solo performances by the graduating bunch this time , i shouldn't be playing but James wanted me to try ... so i've been practising but not perfect yet .. so because also my relationship with C.H is getting better now , he's starting to ask me a lot of things now ... and so i told him about it because C.H's the chairman and in charge of everything ...

C.H was shocked to hear that but said it's ok he'll just write my item down and bring it up in the tutor's meeting which was held yesterday afternoon ... so yeah ,... I don't really ahve the confidence to play actually knowing piano is not my major and Elaine is already playing Penny Lane ... so i told him

"Its ok ... if i don't play .. i'm fine ... or you talk to James and decide later"

And so ... when i went for James' class before the meeting i told him the situation and guess what ... James gave me an alternative song instead. . Blackbird ... super cool man that song ... it's tricky but easy as well ... then he finally said

"If you can play then play if can't then don't play on concert night"

I was OK>... no problem ... so they went for the all important meeting with ALL tutors whether part or full time ... it lasted 2 hours and finished just as we finished our lunch time concert .... (BORING!) and so .. while hanging around the corridor ... C.H came around and told me another GOOD news ...

"eh .. need to tell you .... during the convocation you will have to play the electone solo while they are walking into the hall... play this song called ******** (can't remember title) "

"HAR!? CONVO!? wait wait ... what time is that?"

"2+pm loh .... why?"

"oh gosh .. that means i have to take leave!!!"

"Well everyeone is compulsary to attend the convo wat .. even if ur're not involved"

"Yes meh!? I thought only those graduating?"

"i don't know .. u talk to Julie .. and ask properly ..."

"arrrghh i have to cancel all my jmc's ...crap la.."

"I also have to cancel my classes leh!"

and the argument went on as to compare who has more classes and more students .. ahahha how ridiculous .... finally he walked away and rushed off .. so after confirming the situation with Julie in conclusion

I have to attend the convocation and so i have to play the electone.

Was expecting a confirmation of news about my piano solo but instead got another shocking news .... another job ... well the convo won't be at night with the audience and all .. but at least i still get to perform though i'm just the provider of the background music while the most important people are walking in ... I feel so honoured!!!

GOD YOU ARE THE BEST ! FOR ALLOWING SO MANY GOOD THINGS TO HAPPEN NOw!

You know ... i was just thinking how i first came in for my first sem last sem and i was just involved as a whole but not individually here and there or any solo performances ... but was expecting things will be better next sem .. but

DIDN'T EXPECT SO MANY GOOD THINGS TO HAPPEN THIS SEMESTER SO FAST!

JESUS THANK YOU!!!! I LOVE YOU! =)

I know everything that is happening now is blessed by God and i am so grateful and appreciative .. i will continue to work hard and not disappoint Him because i do it only for Him and Him alone .... Thank You LORD! I also know you have the power to give and to take back everything just like what happened to Job in the bible but i just want to tell you Lord i really am touched and glad at how u blessed me in college . =) Just when my thoughts were filled with doubts of switching my career and studies after this you prove me wrong again .. i don't know but i can only say your plans for me are only good plans .. =) AMEN!
