My first performance as a conductor ended on a quick note, literally. I beated the two beats normally and resulted in our concertmaster Jinghui looking :O and confused. But it's alright, we all need experience.

DMP philosophy course on art and morality, and our group pondered whether pornography was considered art. We of course fought for the no part, and then started asking the meanings and definining and arguing the cause.

After that was rehearsal from 2pm, pretty much administration and running through of all 3 new pieces for our Year-End concert. I will most likely be singing and playing the piano with David and Daniel on guitar and drums respectively. We'll be doing "Fly me to the Moon". That's for the Chamber Concert.

And then I heard the Mendelssohn's Octet in E flat, where I had to clap, and gosh, it finished together and sounded good. Nice work, guys. We'll work harder and progress!

Before that I was playing a little street soccer in the mid-afternoon, and my team was good. Another clap for me and my team. Being all sweaty as per usual thanks to my high workrate and long stamina (weird. I seem to run all the time. Probably exercise), I was rushed off to YST by my manager/mother. Scolded in the car as per usual, and then I was off at YST.

Proudly displayed the RISE jacket, and went for the rehearsal. I was SOo freaking nervous I tell you. My first YST rehearsal was like, to me so big. But everyone (note 19-21 year olds) was like ok rehearse. You wouldn't believe it, but I was shaking so much that my score was vibrating on my lap and it nearly fell off. Phew. And what, Jenny was sitting beside me. If I actually dropped it I will be so bloody paiseh.

Tempest went pretty well! Can't believe it also but I did play well. Magic moment - checked. Singing run - checked. My ffs and my sf in context of p were too loud - let's say it's the piano's fault.

By the time it was done it was nearly 7 and a visit to the third floor settled everything. Came back to ground, say bye to security guard, and off.

A day in a life at YST.

And you. You're so foolish I tell you. Never forget the sms I sent you - yes, that long one. There are so much more I can tell you, but you probably have to learn it the hard way. Perhaps being selfish is the only way to let you learn...there's not a single hint of jealousy in thy voice. I just don't want you to learn it the hard way.
