It's the soccer fever now.. been staying up late & watched soccer matches thru my TV here with Gerald.. He watches thru the webcam. Haha. But I still do wake up per normal... hoping to study soon.
But this morning, smth made me stick on to the internet again. I received an email from my ex-Guzheng instructor/conductor. Thum Soon Boon. They'll be having the 100 Guzheng Grandioso 2006 in Botanic Gardens this Sunday. This is the 2nd time 100 Guzhengs come in together again. The 1st was in 2000.. when I had a share of 1 of the 100 people. If anybody could have seen, it was really grand. I was performing.. so I didnt exactly viewed the whole thing until I saw the video. The stage was so big.. surrounded by a pond with Lotus flowers on them. My parents came.. Xiaoying (my cousin in the same Guzheng tuan as me) parents came.. All the audience were sitting on the grass patch in front of us. Tt feeling.. was so good. Whenever I play the Guzheng, I think of nth but the scores & music I'm playing. I love it.
Yeah.. but to the email.. i read it. He was asking the ex-Guzheng ppl to go n watch it. So we can have a gathering too. I so much wan to go... But cant. Y cant it be 1 more week later?! Argghh.. by the time the start, I would have alrdy touched Sg.
I love my Guzheng so much.. But I hardly touch it anymore. Why? Cause I love playing in a grp.. our every performance was in a grp. Tt's when the music comes alive.. the different grps the whole Guzheng grp was spilt, were playing different parts of the song. It's only when we come together, tt the song is complete. When I play alone, there'll be so much lesser melody in it. During tt time, I was usually playing the rythem part. Sigh... I wish I could play better. Learn my own scores. How I miss those days... the grp, the performances & the Guzheng practises. There were tough.. But it's smth so memoriable.
While typing this blog.. the music plays along. This is a vid is from a link my instructor paste with the email. He's actually the President of a Guzheng association in Singapore. Blue-ocean Guzheng Association. The 1st in Sg. Wooo.. I'm so proud of him! But this guy... damn fierce. He can scold till u cry 1.. my friend did. Scary! B4 our practises, we'll always ask "wad is the weather forecast today?". Tt's when we decides on the behavoiur we can show to him. Hahz!
