7th June. Saturday. A day worth jotting down on this little blog of mine, i'm gonna let it shine~ (see rhymes!)
Dear diary, (omg i almost spelt that as dairy)
Ernest and I went for Jonathan's concert today. Sounds normal? Wait. Not just any concert. It's CO. CUTE OCTOPUS! Cute right? But no, it's chinese orchestra. If i'm not wrong it's the Singapore youth chinese orchestra.
When we got into the concert hall, i told Ernest, 'eh the place smells like chicken rice.' But the smell evolved when the concert started. It kinda smelt like Ascience or Asience or however you spell that shampoo lah!
We laughed when they started playing.
The trumpet things were so noisy i tell you. But the ER HU (spelt like this?) were super soothing leh. Felt like we were dining at DIN TAI FENG! And yes we were craving for xiao long baos!
Similarity between BAND and CHINESE ORCHESTRA? The conductor still swing and flicks the baton the same way leh.
Differences? Where should i start? I'll just name out a few lah. No time and finger energy to type. The tone. I'm so not used to trumpet-like things that sounded like a really lousy clarinet.
Oh but when the CO played a happy lively part, it sounded like little children playing and running around throwing siew mais at each other. (i really can picture the siew mai drop on the floor and bounce bounce bounce) On the other hand, when a band plays a fast paced lively part, it's like ang moh kids playing and running around too BUT, instead of siew mais, they throw hamburgers! (hamburger falls on the floor and shatter! BOOM! k drama)
Most memorable part of the concert. Interval. No not funny. I'm serious. I loved the sambal kangkung and sting ray! Lao pa sat rocks.
Oh dear me, this is gonna be a long post.
OH and jarrod's back from nepal! After err, 3 weeks i think? I kinda lost count.
After the concert, we went to town. Yes i know we singaporeans have no life. But where else can we go! Town's like the most happening place in singapore apart from my room right! Ate Swensens. And fee thought the flag on my ice cream's the AUSSIE flag! Blonde moment. (HI FEE I'M FOCUSED NOW!)
Entertained the drunk Adam. It's so fun to have a drunk friend with you i tell you!
It's a beautiful sunday tomorrow! So, come on down to Esplanade for a free concert!
Oh and Ernest said my english not good leh. Cause too aunty.
Oh sidetrack again. My mum went up to the ticketing booth and auntily said, 'harlow~ can i have three tickets to NADIA?' 'huh? you mean NARNIA?' 'ya ya three tickets NADIA' jiawei walks away with paper bag over his head*
Gonna club tomorrow. I'm clubbing too much lately. BUT WHO GIVES A DAMN other than my mum dad grandma eight aunties and seven uncles.
BYE
