After being involved in the TDA, i was already pinned down by tiredness. To add on to this misery, i was picked to do duty on 3rd Aug (SAT) for 24hrs. Which means i can only go home on Sunday. Oh my god... This weekend is the worst i ever had.

I had to report to camp early in the morning at 7am. And duty starts. What i got to do is to be at the counter to change pass if anyone comes. So boring isn't it? Stuck in the small aircon house, i can do nothing but to talk and rot... waste of my saturday which could be spent on more meaningful stuffs outside... haix. forget it. Its so boring on saturday.

I only get to go home on Sunday 7am. took me 2hrs to reach home as the public transport does not increase the frequency of their services on Sundays. Poor me. I was feeling so tired at that time. when i reached home at 9am, i took a quick bath, had my breakfast and got to go out again cos i am having a cello lesson with a cellist from SSO!! Its such an honour. Too bad i din got enough sleep... Lesson still have to go on.

He told me that he has to start from basics as i had picked up all bad habbits from different cellist outside. Perfect basic technique is the key to be able to play all songs. That's his idea of teaching cello. So, for that 45mins cello lesson, he taught me special fingering techniques and the art of the bow. I just realised that an upbow and downbow has different way of playing.. that's really amazing.!! After the lesson, I got to pay $364.. oh my... 45-min Session cost $78. But really hope he can do miracles. He said that within one year when i've mastered his basic technique, i can move to a higher level! Hopefully i learn fast enough.. haha

At night i went to watch a concert by Hwa Chong Voices (Choir). Jonathan Kee invited me to go.. haha... Initially, i wasn't interested in choir at all. Dread to go. But when i was there at the Esplanade Recital Hall watching the concert, I was truely impressed by their performance!! NEver did I expect choir to be so interesting. It's like a String Ensemble, with Soprano(Violin I & II), Alto(Viola), Tenor(Cello), and Bass(Double Bass). Each of the section harmonises very well. Their tones are in tune and their voices are strong. Inevitably, the HCJC's Choir got Gold With Honours for their SYF... I was really touched by their performance and it somehow changed my impression of choir concerts... The soloists too sang extremely well as they really have soothing and clear and transparent voices. The most important thing is that I didn't imagine Jonathan could sing so well! haha!!! Cheers to you Kee.. haha..
