2 week hol!

so cool right? PLAY! A video game symphony . it was the asian premire!


quote: "PLAY! A Video Game Symphony is a Symphony world-tour featuring music from blockbuster video games. The music is performed by some of the finest, world-class orchestras and choirs. All concerts take place in classy, prestigious venues. Graphics on large screens suspended above the orchestra accompany the scores, highlighting memorable moments from the video games." unquote

It's really cool to be part of such a huge event. =) there were rehearsals almost every evening.

Oh! Meanwhile, peng and i were also stuck on a new Korean drama, the last one to the quartet of seasons; Spring Waltz. I thought it was pretty nice. =) typical 2 guys, 2 girls, someone has to be evil but turns good. The songs are really nice especially this piano piece called Love Poem.
Back to PLAY!, i love the songs. Sherlyn, tab n i are always saying how halo sounds like pirates of the Caribbean, metal gear solid is also really nice!!! =)

This is the view from the esplanade rehearsal studio. Pretty eh? Can you see the rainbow at the left side of the picture?

This is us and the cool mirror. (SO movie starish right? Haha. I know!)

Tama Goh, Sherlyn and I! Tama Goh’s one of the best drummers locally. =) he jams seriously well. Cos of the drum part, i think castlevenia sounded good.


An article printed on the Straits Times about the performance. We had pretty good comments. It was a night of beautiful music and exciting video graphics. =)I feel superbly fortunate to have the opportunity to do something like this. There were guest performances by the hip n happening composer of Daytona usa theme. He did a solo piano, singing performance and threw a sonic the hedgehog into the crowd. One more thing, there was this really cute violinist within the orchestra. He’s kinda short, but it doesn’t matter cos he’s got such beautiful eyes. Wanted to take a photo with him, but couldn’t get the chance to cos he disappeared. =(oh well, bye bye xiao shuai ge.
On Saturday, i had another kind of performance! It was a duet with Marc at Chew’s cousin’s wedding! It was truly an experience.
We performed at the luxurious fullerton hotel.
Us glamming up in the extra room provided. We used much of Marc’s Gatsby rubber.I.... CAN GIVE YOU GATSBY.... *twirls hair and dances around lunatically*GATSBY.... GATSBY.... *pulls face and disfigures it*
We sang At the Beginning cos it was suitable. I mean, “Now here we are, and i’m suddenly standing, at the beginning with you...” don’t you think it’s suitable? Took Marc n I quite some trouble to get the right audio track; we had to remove the existing vocals and change the key to a lower one cos it was too darn high. It turned out ok i guess.

That night stupid chew n marc kept suanning me and saboing me. So embarrassing.. they kept trying to push me to her cousin-in-law’s brother. WHATEVER. And it’s joanne who thinks *AHEM....* =P

Congratulations to the newly weds. May you live blissfully in each others company. =)

OK! More!!! My sis n i went to shanghai for a short holiday. =)it was fun. We lodged with our aunt and slept on her really rock hard bed but we couldn’t be more grateful for her and auntie joyce’s hospitality. I can’t possibly post all the pics here so here are a few memorable ones.

4th day: venturing on our own again! Final day for shopping! we walked even more today than the day before. We walked about 4 train stations distance!

Took a break from walking at Haagen Dais.

Looks good ei, the ice cream. It was good. =)

Eating our well deserved dinner at crystal jade. =) clockwise from top left, we ordered fried silver fish, sweet and sour pork, steamed shui jiao and finally xiao long bao! =P later, we had desert which was peanut and black sesame glutinous rice balls.

Last day: we went to our tua ee’s school to see her little kiddies!!

They are so so cute! Cos it’s an international school, they come from all over the world. The Jap boys and Korean girls are super duper cute. Anyway, they sang for us and we even ate lunch at the cafeteria which served a really good meal. =) it was fun.

Check this sign out.

What do you think it means? I thought it meant no playing the trumpet but it’s actually no horning. BAH.

Bye bye Shanghai, we left for Singapore on 21st and arrived safe and sound. Praise the Lord. On board the plane, i watched 200 pounds beauty, Hula Girls, The Road to Terabithia and Ghost Rider. The first 3 moved me to tears at one point in the show. The last one was just pretty lame.

today, sister quek, quek and i studying.... AS IF.
