~Kaleidoscope of Life~

Well, in my opinion, the concert was a success. Not just in terms of the music, but also the memories left behind: the wacky moments in NYH, the stupid jokes, the weird Hong Kong accents, and so much more. I regret not being able to have taken photos with everyone...

Yes, I know, I'm starting to sound sappy. Give me license just this once. After all, I'm growing old... I probably don't have many years left as a performing musician... Or many performances left to look forward to...

In the end, it's the small little things that I'll miss. I'll miss meeting Hui Boon, Yen Nee, Alex, etc at Can 2 for dinner at 1800, then dragging our feet up the hill at 1850. I'll miss Kwang Ying aiming her camera phone at different corners of the room during practice. I'll miss Hiong Poh's blurness and and Kat eating her green tea shaved ice with chocolate fudge. I'll miss Eddie's err... interesting breathing. I'll miss getting a plain waffle and Nescafe mocca for a takeaway dinner, and Weicong sniggering about it. I'll miss... I'll miss...

If time spent in NTU CO is an infinite series, then everything in this AY has converged to that point, on 27th Feb, 2000hrs. And now that that point is past, what is there left for us? You might as well say time stopped for us on 27th February. It did for me.

To the NTU CO committee: thanks for being such wonderful people to work with. Especially to our chair and vice-chair, Yen Nee and Sylvia. I wasn't the most cooperative person, but you two were the most understanding. Thanks for your tireless efforts!

To the cello/bass section: I firmly believe that you guys are the most insane, most lame, most amazing section in this CO. You just make it all so worthwhile... For the guests, thanks for taking the time to practice and perform with us. Do come back again, yes? For the members, I will be back with more chocolates (dark, upon Edna's request). Eddie-senpai, thanks for saving my precioussssssssss Fire Wood... I owe you your king crab, or whatever... XD

To Yen Nee and Alex: thanks for helping me out on Friday the Thirteenth. I'm sorry to have burdened you two, and especially during your dinner time... Guess I should thank Eddie too. If not for his presense and my pride, I would probably have spent the whole practice time outside the music room...

To Yarong, Mark, JZ, Geng Hui, Cheah Yee, Charlyn, Ivan (Ho), Janet, Ling Shan, Jie Yin, and everyone who came: thanks so much for the support~~ I hope you had as much fun watching as I had performing!

Everyone else, thanks for making those 2.5 hrs of my life so special for me. The euphoria may die off, but the memories will always leave their mark, like "sticky rosin", to quote Soen.
