Ngee Ann Polytechnic Chinese Orchestra 2009 ... The End

Itz over. The audience emotion and participation is very high. There are lots of cheering and screaming of the performers' names. Thank you all audience.

There are lots of effort behind a wonderful performance. Everybody had practice really hard during the past 3 weeks and some of us went to NPCO from Mon - Fri just to practice. It was really hard work, I nearly collapse from the tiredness. Luckily, I can still tahan until the performance is over. (OK I collapse on Monday but that is another issue)

The young ones also put in a lot of efforts and hard work, especially the committee members. Kudos to you all. Well done and you kids ROCKS!!! Alumni also contributed, thanks to Yong Shun, YuLing, Yang, Wenxi, YanPo, TingZheng and also myself (LOL)

可惜的是很多校友没有回来 support 我们。伤心叻!!!不然表演者会更多,观众会更更多。Pity pity.... 不过也好,今年我们认识很多客卿,也让在籍生有机会接触其他乐团的朋友。

It was a good performance, and a wonderful experience. I found that I always enjoy participating in NPCO performances, even though itz my dream that one day I can sit as an audience and watch the young ones perform. However, be it as a participant or as an audience, it is still an enjoyable process. And it sort of bond me and the young ones together (but they still don't noe my real name is not Shi Jie (师姐) and even guest players started calling me Shi Jie, weird right?). Never mind, it will always be an issue.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic Chinese Orchestra 2009 ... Coming Soon

Itz on ... the performance will be held on 24 May 2009 (Sunday) at 7.30pm in Singapore Conference Hall.

To those who are reading this blog, please come and support us. Ticket price is $12 and free seating.

Ok. That's the sales talk. Now is the actual work ... ^^

Had been very very busy with the practices these few weeks. I think itz tiring me out, am not feeling well now. Next week is another round of rehearsals for 3 days, and itz going to be "See you on stage on Sunday".

Hopefully my tiredness will wear out (instead of my energy wear out) and I will be in pink health for the performance.

Frankly speaking most of the pieces are not difficult, and I should be managing fine. Itz only 1 song (accompaniant to a solo piece) that is difficult because it is 7/8, 5/8 and 3/8 kind of beats. I hope I will be ok with this song cos' I cannot rely on WaWa (my super-duper good junior) as she is the soloist. SIGN .... OK .... I will buck up and be on my own.

Another week to go ... Preserve and press on ... for me and the NPCO young ones.
