*SP SOLO COMP 07*

it was around 4.30pm,
when i was called to go back to band room
to prepare for the SOLO comp.

i was still deciding to
PLAY or not to PLAY.

darn it.

fickle minded.
coz, i've only practice the score
3 times. =x

once we placed our instrument,
went to have dinner at KFC.
i was still deciding.
somehow rather,
jenny and yimei
finaly convinced me to play.

practice over the 'cadenza' part.
omg.
i cant get the low b!
shit man...

soon by 7pm,
the competition started.

we drew lots
and i was seventh in line.

the distance between
the judges and solo-ist

OMG lah!!!

soon,
it was my turn.
i was shivering.
the same feeling i had
when i had to stand and play
glenn miller tenor
solo during SWS final rehearsal.
but that time,
i end up not playing the solo
for concert.
so i wasnt nervous.

i just feel that by joining
this comp,
it will test my confidence level
and overcome my stage fright.

so i went in and face
the three judges.
Mr Leanord Tan (lao ban), Mr samad
and Mr Lim Lit Hua.

i went over to the table
and pass a copy of the
song i was about to play.

DEUX MOUVEMENTS
mov.1 complainte.

first comment was from mr samad:
" nice earings"
mr lim :
" thats not earings, it's studs"

*mini-arguement*

me:
" excuse me, may i start? "
*wide smile*

okok....
i wasnt being rude,
coz, i initial thought after playing
i can leave.
KY was waiting for me at FC5.
=_=!

anyways,
i started playing.
*breathe*
.
.
.
.
.
.

*ends*

felt good that i manage to play
ALL!!!
though there were parts where i skipped...
lol.
DARN LOW B!!!!

i had achieved my goal!
=)

-COMMENTS-

laobao:
*stunned*
"your tone....."

Mr lim:
"i wrote in my comment that....
u have a silky tone."

mr samad:
"yes. you are the first single reed
instrument we've heard all day who have
a clear pure tone."

*Mr Lim hi-5ed Mr Samad*

me:
*stunned*

laoban:
"i didnt know you can play......
During combined practice,
u didnt play out. you should have....."
*speechless*

me:
*speechless*
*lost*

laoban:
"i really like your tone and your vibrato was
beautiful...."

me:
*wide smile*

it wasnt 'all' good comments.

i was shoot on my phrasing of some parts,
chaging of some notes was not smooth enough,
and my rubato.... was no tempo-ed.
lolx.

mr samad:
"have faith in yourself. you have alot of potential."
*giggle*
"omg. i sound like paula abdul!!"

me:
=_=!!

i walked out of the band room.
i felt a huge load being lifted.
OMG!
i've done it.
i've overcomed my fears!!!

soon,
everyone was done.
all 12 contestants.
most of them are superb!
omg.
yueyuan!! wow!!!!!!

i was pretty in a rush to leave.
KY was waiting for me!
=_=!

had a mini break in between.
participants waiting outside anxiously.
=x

soon,
after the judges decided the winner,
he called everyone into the band room.
as usual,
*speech*

i was just happy that i received positive
comments from them.

then he announced

3rd placing:
5d!!

haha. since then i knew i have no chance.
5d is PRO!
i was so happy for him...
then... laoban said:

"the 2nd place goes to.... a piece called
complainte by alto sax solo....."

and pointed to me!

omfg.

my jaw dropped to the floor.
i was utterly shocked.
i almost felt like puking.

i heard 5d saying "uh"
loudly.
lol.
everyone was surprised.
INCLUDING me.

sumo won the comp. =)

getting 2nd was just an icing on the cake.
i felt very...... happy?
lol.....

i quickly went off.

*speechless*

met KY and i could not hide my feelings!
omg!

ARGH!!!!

OMG!!!!!

i think he was shocked.

i looked like a mad man.

i immediately called betty.
she was damn shocked and happy.
and so i qoute
"i'm proud of you".

and i called/sms those who have
helped me in one way or another;

*LONG DAY*

oh man..
today was a long day.
didnt slept much last night.

was quite late for sectional.
met up with caleb at DOVER mrt by 10.45am.

went over and had
one on one sectionals.

i've left with
a limited time
before solo comp.

the reason why i think
i should join is because,
i think it is time for me to overcome
my fear of stage fright.

and i think this is a perfect timing
for me to do so.
i dont wish to win this comp.
just playing it out to laoban and judges
is enough for me.

i'll be playing
DUEX MOUVEMENT.
mov.1 complainte.

it's a grade 8 piece.

it will test
my air support.
lol.

this would be my 3rd year playing
the alto sax.

and met up with alice and jon
@ jiwsaw hair bar.
