nyehnyeh<3

HAHAHA! THIS IS DAMN FUNNY. oh and SHARP KIMMY SPOTTED IT!(:

woke up at like 5.45am(: wait no is 6.45am!-.- got dressed with make up and everything and yay! i passed mrs ho's check! shir came over to do too. HUILIN DID MY EYE SHADOW! nicenice. hahaha! gathered at 830 and went straight to carnegie hall for rehearsal/soundcheck. all i would say was that it was just disappointingg. i screwd like &*^*&%!-.- felt so guilty and demoralised! went back to the hotel after that and ate bagel with huilin ysabel joan shir. talk ate and got ready for the afternoon's performance. omg. the first american group played saint saens's dance baccharale. not sure about the spelling but yeah!! jiale and i were like O.O. especially the col legno part! but i guess they could have done better. 2nd group totall pwnx. they brought electric guitar-.- not bad hurh. didnt hear the 3rd one cause by then we were at backstage.

OMG WE WERE FREAKING NERVOUS. oh but i think syf was worse-.- ANYWAY, JIALE PANGSEH ME. -.- she had to come in later. anyway here comes it. the moment we have always been looking forward to -that 20 mins on stage.

started off with vln2's entry. wasnt together but still it was pretty good. celllos came in followed by violin ones. didnt really felt the pulse hence causing a minor/slight tempo un-sureness. but by the end first half it was brilliant. soon we palyed 3rd mvt. i thought it was the best best mvt and nocturne we palyed EVER so far. intonation was superbb(: i was so scared i cant hit my high A. at the end of the cello solo, it was vln1's to take over. at that time, all i thought was to enjoy the music. even though if i didnt hit, just enjoy the disonance! soon we took over. my gosh. i love my high A. it was the prettiest/niceest/sweetest A i playedd(: ahh i willl NEVER ever forget that moment. i felt so happpyyy. heh. the next part was cello and vln1's "romance&sl*t" dialogue. stella and i decided beforehand to flirt with each other on stage. haha! so at the end, i looked at stella and viceversa during the concert. omggg it was so funnyyyy. i was laughing by the end the first phrase and i think i influenced shir (she stood behind stella) hahahahaha. it was super funny. and it's the first time z kept smiling throughout the whole concert. no frowns, no anger, no slight sign of irritation. it was just heavenly. fourth movemnt came and the ending was good (at least thats what i heard from the front desk) i rmb how i left the bow at the last note, a highhighhigh D. it was as intuned as my nocturne's A. that moment when i realized it was all over. we stood up and what we faced was cheering and a full-crowd standing ovation. i thought of all the hardwork that we had. screaming at intonation, mising lunch for sectionals, getting super tired during ensemble and those pills i had to swallow (cause i kept falling ill due to the intensed and fully-packed rehearsals). nyse, we did it. it was the best time we played. we moved and the sound really came out. the desire to acheive the best and the feelings we put in especially for nocturne. enjoying the applause, i felt so proud of nyse. i nearly teared on stage, but decided to keep blinking so that the tears wont flow and i wont embarass myself. Not too long after, we made our way off stage. On the way, i thought of when we will it be the next time we will play this piece. end of year concert -without the sec fours in which means NO JIALE. omgD: the sudden realization that violin ones can no longer depend on our dear concertmistress and we all know standing alone, we dont really sound good. i guess tingwei felt the same and she started huggging jiale once we were behind the concert doors. seeing that, my tears could no longer control. tingwei and i started hugging jiale and crying like a baby. -.- if i am not wrong, i think we got chased off by the officials there cause we were stucking up the walkway.D: went back to the dressing room and cried even more. like mad-dogs. ): it was just simply awesome. felt so touched by nyse's determination and love for the music. mr lee debrief and told us that he heard other american orchrestra commenting on us, saying how that asian girls ensemble sound so amazing!(:we went to clear our stuff and gosh we were all digging out the past and laughing at it. on our way back, loads of americans approached us and complimented nyse. one guy tapped my shoulder from the back and said,"good job god job. brilliant!"

ahh you know what. i dont feel like talking about the rest of the day. its basicially going for celebrattory dinner at planet hollywoods and off for evening concert at carnegie. went midnight shopping til. near 1am.(:
