okay, ive said this before. my mum's basically veh nice without anyone bugging her. so, after pleading her for sooooooo many times, she allowed me to go for dhsco concert! yay haha.. but that was only at 1440. in other words, i only had like, 1hr++ to get ready and everything and reach VCH b4 4pm to get the tix from huang. den i called harry, he told me to meet him at city hall mrt station at 1515! siaow lorh, he still ask me dun be late... kaox, i told him to go first, cos i'll be late, but in the end he reached there jus 1 minute b4 me, which was at 1350...?! hahaX, still ask me not to be late.. anyway, wen i was walking towards VCH, ling fu qiang stopped for me! LOL~ veh dua hor... hahaX~ anyway, den we waited for qinglun and his friend, they were LATE. so i went in first with harry, it's upstairs seat. free seating den i sit beside hls and his wife. lols, so wierd.
there was a total of 13 songs! inculding 2 alumni and one encore. their standard is definately veh veh good. as in, for a sec school la. during intermission, qinglun oso said wad. den harry was like, veh xian mu rite? so nxt life muz study harder and get into dunman. -.-'" totally. qinglun was shocked..as in, not that its the first time he's hearing dhsco, but he was like, how they teach one arh..? lidat wun teach until vomit blood meh..?! ROTFL. yah, but they all got xiao ke wad... of cos wun vomit blood la! oh, qinglun and his friend did lotsa notes on this concert. for HOMEWORK. haix. if only im in nafa. so damn cool man. do concert analysis for hw... lols
i dint see chenyang. i duno why.. hahaX~ same place leh, he oso sitting upstairs... but anyway, doesnt matter. den after the concert, we straight away zao liao. den harry wana go eat subway. he dragged us all to subway. i dint eat la, watch them eat. damn gao xiao lorh. qinglun and his friend were saying abt harry's "hao jie shao". hahaX~ cos subway veh veh ex and qinglun and his fren play dizi de. he say guan yue pple eat alot one. so they were complaining that subway veh ex and "chi bu bao". den tt qinglun's fren(i seriously duno whats his name) went to buy TWO MORE BUGERS from burger king!!!!! crazy lorh. i was like O.O kao, den after tt he still not really full *jaw drops*. anyway, we went off liao la. and guess wad (wad?) I SAW MY ZHAR BOH!! lols, saw amanda with her parents, shopping (or izit going for dinner?). yeah~ guess its fate! hahaX~ den we went home lorh.
anyway, harry had been promoting TJCO concert for many many times just now. i oso told hls to promote in zhco. harry said there'll be 2 concertos. erhu and pipa. he said this jingqi guy is performing. and he's DAMN PRO!! his song is super diff de. imagine 2 whole A4 size paper of 16 fen yin fu!!!!!! OMG, tts like, duno how many times more diff den di yi erhu kuang xiang la! *jaw drops* n he said zixian is playing hua mu lan. he was saying how fast she's going to play, den qinglun was like, SIAOW! hahaX~ yeah.
oh, when we were walking from VCH, qinglun was saying that he and tingkai planning wear like roster and grasshopper for their duet this yr. we were al lafing our heads off la! den qinglun want us to buy flowers for him and run up stage and gif to him. den muz shout 'qinglun wo men yong yuan zhi chi ni!' ROTFL den we were suggesting that qinglun dye his hair red and stuff lidat. den he will be lafing away during the song. imagine how comical tt will look like... GOSH.
qinglun oso mntioned something when we were eating. it started when he asked me to join payco. den i was saying how stressful tt'll be, cos of those pros inside. den he said, why. i duno. i mean, i'll jus feel damn stress wad. he and harry said the same thing. "wads so good abt being shou xi?" good question, i duno. harry mentioned that theres nothing great abt being principal. it only matters when u r a profeesional musician. i agree. cos basically, there's nothing extra for a principal to do. the most is gong fa and zhi fa. but in pro co-s, principal earns much more $$. however, its still not going to remove that sickening habit of mine. i'll still feel stressed, guess im too hao4 sheng4.
okay, now to the concert.
i cant rmb much liao. lols, shld haf written notes! hahaX~ anyway, they're really great. guo lao shi is really daring. so many songs in one concert. but actuali, tho their quality IS there, i feel that there's area for improvement.
QI2 (tempo). they really veh bu4 qi2.. i tink zh win them in this area. as in, xulaoshi expects alot of this. she make sure that everyone is on the right tempo and "breathing" together with her. i agree with her that this is the MOST IMPT of all areas to note. cos even if intonation is veh good, theres no use cos everyone is not playing TOGETHER, so u will still tink that intonation is veh bad.
one thing they're veh good in, and i tink zhco will NEVER be able to beat them in is their intonation. their sounas are (so far) the better ones in spore. as in, sec sch standard. their intonation is damn good. i dare say that even syco's souna cant beat them. actuali, harry mentioned that syco isnt even up to dhsco standard. with the exception of ruan. cos truthfully speaking, syco standard is realli like shit. lols.
overall their co is quite zhun3. there isnt alot of MAJOR yin1 zhun3 problem. pple who dun understand music wun notice. but sadly, pple who DO play music, can hear it quite obviously.
next thing that they're rather natural and veh good in is their movement. really makes alota difference if u see one co without movement and one co with movement. i think like wad harry said, its how they learn and how they are taught to play the imstrument. they're natural.
one last thing and one veh impt thing of a successful co. is their mindset. up there is alrdy correct, so of cos they'll do well. they are serious in their co. not like ours, reali jus join for the sake of cca points. they do it for passion and respect for co. its like, when they haf co, u tell them it starts at 8am, u will actuali see everyone there at 730am. other co 9am start and u slowly stroll in at 930am, they oso dun care de. they still beg u to come for co pracs man. dhsco is different loh. u dun come den dun come. they dun lack players. and they dun dare to be late, cos basically, if ure late den u can might as well dun come. pple there are dying to get into da zu co. pple over here in zhco is dying for xulaoshi to be absent and they can slack for the rest of the pracs. i seriously think zhco need a student conductor. other schools all haf lorh. if not conductor not arnd, den dun nid to prac liao la. waste time only. i admire and respect the pple in dhsco. their seniors are like, there for them de lor, all veh willing. see their alumni can tell liao. see how much pride they all haf in their co. see how proud they are of dhsco, how willing they are to go and hlp out. kao, if only zhco can reach the point where everybody haf the right mindset......
i tink im toking too much co language liao. pple are not going to read my posts. but i still wana say, that i tink ling fu qiang is like zhen jing wen lor... poser. their erhu sai ma is so disgusting can. if ure not capable of it, then dun play do difficult de sai ma la, play the original one la! haix, make the song sound extra nan ting.
dhsco is changing liao. they dint use to play songs that other amatuer co-s play b4. this time they are even playing songs that acsb played b4. i tink guo ling qiang lao shi is changing. lols.
