"iwaswonderingifyouwouldliketogototheballwithme" =D

The devil says, "hate".
The Lord says, "love".
Difficult, yes, but I'll love the one who hates me.

It's official.
Jia Yan will be my concert partner =)
Hahaha!

Yesterday's String Chamber Evening at the same place (Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, NUS) was superb.
It was performed by the students of the T'ang Quartet.
They were so professional can!
Veh Veh the expressive!
I was just wow-ed by them.

If anyone thinks this kinda concerts are boring,
they're WRONG.
It's possible to just sit there for 2.5 hours just watching them and appreciating the music.
Especially when you're sitting at the 1st few rows.
Can observe how they play, their eye contact and cues
I didn't doze off this time! Wahahahs.
Must introduce western orchestral music to more people.
Lol. It's dang cool la.

There was this (1st) violinist Loh Jun Hong, I thought he looked super familiar.
He has a very innocent and sweet face. Haha!
Damn adorable. hehs.
Nah but I saw him in the papers before.
"Loh Jun Hong began taking violin lessons at the age of seven. Within a year and a half, he made tremendous progress and was admitted into the gifted programme at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA). At age 10, he became a member of the Singapore National Youth Orchestra."
" ... the youngest Singaporean to be granted a place at the National University of Singapore. He had turned down a place at the renowned Yehudi Menuhin School in Britain to be the youngest musician at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, where he continues to be groomed by Qian Zhou."
No wonder.
Only 16 years old.
Actually he's the 2nd youngest to be admitted.
Abigail Sin's the youngest.

Hilarious
Especially the one on being late for lectures.

VARSITY LIFE



PRODIGY STYLE TYPICAL UNDERGRADUATE STYLE
GETTING TO SCHOOL Mum fetches SBS, MRT, etc
START TIME 7.30am for a 9am lecture, because they're used to having flag-raising ceremony at that time in secondary school 9.10am for a 9am lecture, because of traffic jam, woke up late, bus broke down, etc
FIRST THING AT SCHOOL Book a practice room Head to the canteen for breakfast
HOW THEY STUDY Very hard, because otherwise they'll end up being just a PSLE student Relax, man. We've got O levels, A levels, even a driving licence
GRADES Mostly As, mostly on Dean's List

Bs and Cs, mostly hoping not to be called to the Dean's office

DATING Near impossible. Age difference is a big hindrance Easy peasy. Undergrads the same age everywhere
