The first paper signifies the end of your schooling days...



May 2007

Today was my first paper; quite ok I guess... Don't have much confidence in scoring well for it... Next event on my calendar is the deadline for the project... There's still quite a lot of to take care of...

The next interesting event is the Creative Arts Programme at the end of this month... It's a Seminar held once a year for for Secondary 2-3 and JC 1 kids and we'll be there to teach them percussion for their closing ceremony... Last year's workshop was fun; it was the first time I got to teach music and the first time I had to write musical notations... This brings back memories... Haizz... I was younger then... =Þ


Percussion performance at Closing Ceremony

Sometimes its amazing how accurate such tests are, at least most of them are... I'm not talking about those irritating and illogical tests that people think up of in 5 minutes...

Finale...


Didn't blog on day 4 & 5 cause the lessons were earlier, so no time to do it... The workshop is finally over and my simple life goes back to normal... The photos and videos will come soon I hope...

Let's go back to day 1... Remember the guy I chose to play the lion drum on day 1? He never returned, he left the camp for good...

On day 2, I chose another guy (Edmund) to play the lion drum, he was quite good also and was eager to learn... I was relieved as I could get another person to fill up the numbers to the chinese section...

On day 3, Edmund told me he got a burnt and showed me his lobster red hands... Oh no!!! What am I gonna do?!? I had no choice but to get yet another guy (Benson) to do the lion drum...

On day 4, Benson got a bad headache and couldn't be there for the rehearsal... Oh God, please don't play me like this... Luckily, Edmund's condition was better and was able to do the drums... I didn't dare to push him too hard in fear that it might aggravate his injury...

On day 5, everyone arrived in one piece and were all ready to perform... Whew... The performance was great, they even played better than me for some parts... I was backstage throughout the performance, but I heard the crowd went wild... Can't wait to see the video...

About the curse to the lion drum, I've never gotten any problems like that, other than the occassional accidents where I hit my own fingers... Guess the drum don't like them huh...

Day 3...


Damn... The guy who was suppossed to play my chinese drum is sick and I doubt he will be coming back... Now, I have to teach another guy from scratch...

Finally found out where the other workshops are and saw some not bad looking girls there... Will be going to a production meeting as soon as I finish typing this, then maybe I could ask their instructors if I can sit in their workshops... Haha... Wish me luck...

Day 2...


The first day of the workshop went great, except for the part where we forgot what to play... They are mostly secondary school kids so not much to look at; too bad the older and nicer looking ones are over at the other workshops which I'm gonna sneak by one of these days...

I'm in-charge of the chinese section where you have the lion dance drum, cymbals, etc... All the boys wanted to play the drum, but there is only one of them... Geez... They all think it's very stylo to play the chinese drum (though I think so too), but they never know how tiring it is to play it... You have to play at such speeds that the stick flys off easily so you have to grab very hard at it... That's where you get the bruises and the extra large forearms...

Let's see if I can sneak by the other workshops tonight...

Day 1...


Today is the first day of the of the workshop... Though we had had lots of practice, some things were still not made clear... I blame it on the poor management, but there won't be any screw ups cause I will make sure he does it when the moment arises...

Have been having a throat problem for the past few days, think it is an ulcer in my throat... Was having a bad night yesterday, so I'm finally gonna see the doctor later... Hope it's nothing serious and curable fast... Can't even eat properly... Damn...
