The beginning of sem4

16 June .  A heavy long sigh escaped from my lips once the arranging class ended . This also marked the beginning of our sem break . 

Finally , a break !

Since the semester 4 begin , it is no longer similar with the previous semester , especially when you come to arranging . Every week there are homework . Non - finished homework . Some more , not only arranging , but also we are throwing a concert for our project . Ladies choir stuffs . I am helping with the merchandise for the August concert . Everything dashed towards you .
 Don't worry . It kills , and you'll alive . 

For the past week , we were studying  20th century music . The most terrible period among the others . You don't understand the music is about , you can't recognize the music pattern but  when it do , it take a few time to get it . Counterpoint over . Oral and music business done . I don't know how I go through all these but at least I am survived . 

Meeting .
After exam, we are having an hour meeting bout the concert . When I entered , I could feel the stiff atmosphere in the class . Everyone is putting up a long dull face . What my opinion for this concert is , this concert is going to be terrible . Before we organised a concert , we need to have money . So we decided to have a fund raising . So what we do on fund raising was movie day . But then the fund is too little , so we have to do another . We do canteen day , sold food . 

After we got our money , we have to proceed to the concert stuff , like audition , rehearsals . For audition , no one came . We just sat there 3 hour waiting for people to come , but end up one one came .  The first rehearsal are terrible , until the second better . Tickets selling are terrible as well ,  not even up to 10 . So , personally I approached Evon  to help her sell . At least , the tickets are sold up to 20 ++ .  I am the stage manager for this concert . Seriously , I have no idea what to do . Luckily , with senior guidance , I learned , I pick up . 

Hopefully everything goes well .

First gig

September . Has been freezing my blog for a couple of month . A quick update on August which I accomplished my diploma piano recital , Singapore competition and lastly Grade 7 violin exam successfully . Last month Eugene called me asking me weather can help out with his Erhu concert and I agreed , because I used to help him in the PP before .  Same member as before , only first violin we have a new member . They fixed the rehearsal in MIA every Monday and Friday , but I told Eugene I can only make it on Friday . So our first rehearsal went not bad . I'm happy for myself because I'm able to play the whole offbeat passage . It never happen before I decided to use it with metronome . See the power of metronome . So every Friday I travel until the performance day . The day before the performance we still have one last rehearsal which everyone promise to attend but cellist do not turn up so you can image everyone faces at that time . Because there is a offbeat passage which only...

Seventeen of May

Second day of my "sem break" . My friend bought me to a cafe that I longed very very long time ago . The reason why I love this cafe is because it is outdoor and I was attracted by its greenery and decoration . Batik almost made up most of the decoration of the cafe . The moment when we walk in , I expect the surrounding to be quite spacious but it doesn't look like what I expect . Before I know this cafe I saw it in Instagram . Here are the expectation and reality , but it doesn't disappointed me anyway . So we went to the counter and order . The boss introduce us what's on their menu today . From the conversation , we only get to know she study arts in  MIA before .  Their breakfast looks attractive . I choose so careful because breakfast used to be the first things before all my activities begin .   At the end of the day , I ordered a croissant with scramble eggs . We look for the for our seat because we are the first customer , so I can't decide where ...
