established string quartet requires 2 violinists and a violist.
hey guys...today's practice was... ... ... super tiring.
...heh...
got a few comments though...i hope that everyone is as serious abt kronos as much as syf, if not more... i think we should really put on a GWH standard...no...in fact we should put on a platinum with honours standard...
tickets are sold out... people are coming to hear US play... we should be practising doubly, triply hard... and some ppl, including seniors, can't even get tickets... it's really quite rare... perhaps we should hold kronos somewhere bigger next year.
string.e has always and is still being blessed...
(1) the gold is a blessing.
(2) having mr. tan as conductor is a blessing as chan is pretty busy with his other commmitments...
(3) our dear and dedicated committee members are a blessing.
(4) so are the rest of the dedicated string players...
(5) the mdms and many more...
perhaps we should work towards and aim to bond string.e closer together...perhaps a chalet or sth would be good? meals are always good for bonding too...got to know a really cute albeit a-little-cheeky boy this afternoon during lunch...(benjamin... just don't delete that sms yah?? *grins*)... jiang lai, dawn and andris will know what i'm referring to...
also, i remember that during my time (yesyes grandmother story...) we were constantly being compared by chan to "the people at the other orch" and he kept on saying how we are soooo quiet whereas they are full of energy blah blah blah...
perhaps it was us being too quiet or too inanimate that "chased" the previous conductor away? haha...it's only a thought...perhaps the guys can consider including mr. tan in their male-bonding tau-pok-ing sessions... =p
i guess string practices were quite tiring for us then cos it came at the end of a super long day (the same exhausted looks are still present on current players on tues nights as observed by some seniors...=) )
ultimately we are all in it for the music...it's good to turn up for all the practices and try to keep absentee rate to the minimum... to quote, "we have very little time left"... it's really a rare coincidence that syf and kronos should be so close to each other...and we should really be (or look like we're) enjoying ourselves. and since it's THIS close to Kronos...let's all give our best!

Haha... Mdm Emerald speaketh! Before I go any further I must comment on having noticed I'm the only one posting under the "comments" - is everyone else really that silent? Anyway, cliche as this may sound, it really doesn't matter what kind of award you get. I really hope that you guys will deliver a sincere performance to reach out to your audience of record-breaking, history-making numbers.
I must apologise for being unable to join you this year as my sunday nights are currently spent on a wonderful island off the eastern tip of singapore, but I will try my best to join you in any future functions you don't violently object to having my presence at - rehearsals, outings or whatever.
Finally, I wish you all the best for Kronos 2005 and I look forward to hearing more good music from you all soon! :-)
