Hee...pai seh...to post so soon after the last 1...just have a stirring of emotion and sudden passion towards pmo today...haha...after practising and all...feel so self-accomplished and have a clear goal to aim at...love hua yue!!!muakssss...
anyway...let's just start with my position at hua yue...hmmm...i start off playing liu qin (sth like pi pa but smaller)...with a very average level...means only 'ma ma dei' la...and kinda quiet(in means of pmo...quiet means not sot..)this is the situation of me until form 3...This year, however,things changes...and why is it so????because this year pmo is taking part in national competition, and only qualified (meaning enough skill) members are CHOSEN to have the honour to participate...there's only 2 liu qins in form 4 and none in form 5...and only 2 liu qins are required in taking part in competition...apparently, a form 4 member should be qualified enough to take part...but being just 'ma ma dei', shu huey n my junior who excels very well are chosen....thus, i lost my opportunity of my 1st time to take part in competition, and there's only me myself to blame for the loss...so, feeling abandoned and 'self-accusing', a second chance came upon me...they are short of 1 zhong ruan player since none of the form 3s nor ex-seniors are willing or able to play...so i was in, but to play zhong ruan...of coz, i seize the oppurtunity to participate...working very hard to catch up with others...because, although the technique and concept of playing liu qin and zhong ruan is almost the same, the skills required differ...zhong ruan is more bulky and the strings are thicker....being accustomed to liu qin smaller size and thinner strings, i soon find it hard for me to press on the string properly...so, i was obviously worst among the others, since i hav to start from getting used to the intrument 1st rather than work on the songs for competition...i struggled to keep pace with them, which only made me more frustrated and dissappointed with the outcome...furthermore, above all of that, time is losing its patience and the date of competition draws nearer and nearer...and, the 1 and only solution for my GIGANTIC PROBLEM is--- practise practise and PRACTISE...
determined not to let myself and my pals down, i accept the only solution available--practise and more practise...interceping with some advices and scolding from teacher and seniors and frens all along the 'journey'...thank god i improve, though still lacking from the required skill...and my dear, dearer, dearest ruan liu fellow frens help me a lot...at the same time brought me into sotsot-ness...i learnt that besides working on skill, i also have to work on feeling towards the music...that, i'm still straggling with now, though its much better when i 1st start off...hmmm,music is supposed to be enjoyed....not suffered...and playing music is not about playing out notes, its about expressing the melody and the feeling within...wa...very hard to understand hor....i also agree...what to do...no talent..play zhong ruan like robot onli...hocky also say i can't be good at everything...and music is not like add maths...it requires more than just a few formulae to solve the answer...
anyway...i felt kinda self-accomplished today...not that i had overcome all the problems i faced, its just that i FELT the music...especially since we had a specialised tutor of zhong ruan, i learnt a lot..haha...today he2 zhou4 dat time, i ENJOYED playing the music, not frustrated as i used to, because i managed to play almost everything ok-ly...i ENJOYED looking at mr.huang hong chang conducting the music, whose face fulled of exaggerated-and-kinda-funny-expressions...n of coz, i ENJOYED the flow of music, i ENJOYED hua yue, i was able to smile when playing music rather then frowning with my eyebrows drew together, and maybe i don't have to let my pals down after all!!!haha....
hmmm....dats y i'm happy to post twice today....haha...and i hereby promise to work very very very hard for hua yue and the competition, so that i won't regret anything in my life...hee...pmo is my second home...and 1 of the few societies that have less politic probs...those which i'm aware with anyway...dats y i love pmo...its a warm n loving n caring n sot-ing society...
all the best to hua yue!!!we r the champion!!!!(or will be anyway....)pmo!!!!!muaks muaks muaks!!!!
