AH! It's all over. Mono results are out. Sadsadsad. And when I think of what transpired between you both, my character comes back to haunt me.
Thank heavens Majestia is over! Now I don't have to fight for time with
higher-ups and get all stressed about undone work. Which all lie sadly on my desk-uh-in my bag, untouched, unloved and uncared for. And will probably stay that way till, erm. The moon turns blue. Yes.
Literature changes people. It is interesting to see the way their speech changes drastically. No longer immature, they think on a deeper level and analyze things, and cease to be superficial. So when I say,
Stars hide your fires/Let not light see my black and deep desires. You know tis vaulting ambition that drives our foul hero Macbeth and maketh him fall on the other side.
But what am I speaking. Tis a good day.
A fair day. There is only a step that remains to be o'erleapt, or else I shall fall over it. O, the wreckage that is our ambition, hormonal, angst-filled lives.
How could the teachers close the tsd studios during the holidays! I need to study somewhere!
O. Majestia was a happy affair. We 5 bassoonists finally got to wear our beautiful bassoon collar pins that t'were
purchased from the 'Shop at Carnegie Hall'. Haha. Happy happy. And our own dressing room! Unbelievable. With toilet and shower too. And lockers and mirror and lightbulbs around it that were too powerful and what
burned a hole in a blazer. Some songs may not have been our best, but still, it was a great concert. Our first at Esplanade! Amazing. But of course. Carnegie's acoustics were way better. Esplanade just doesn't cut it.
Foule meane thinges! Will this constructinge and buildinge of sewerage systems never ende? Our whole fair hovel is shaking like a leaf in a breeze! Of course, no house shakes like a leaf in a gale right. O, how foule!
Thate is wherefore I neede a calm, peaceful place to studye! O 24, 24, wherefore art thou 24?
To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower.

Phew. Monos are finally over. That stressful, time-consuming aspect of our exams. Slotting for weeks just for that 10 minutes of performance time. It's the same with all perofrmances is it not? Practice like hell for months
and just for that 20 minutes in SYF, or that 2 hours in concert. And once you make a mistake, it's gone. The moment's just gone. You can't just say, wait! that was a mistake! Just carry on like it was supposed to happen.
Phew.
Blardy hell. At least now I know how not to smile and to be unhappy for 10 minutes. I can keep a straight face! Rubbish. Now I can't stop keeping a long face. Blardy busy.
What with concert and seniors' A's and MYE-s and life what it is. And-well-perhaps I sapped too much of my character from my mono. Why. Why was she such an emotional woman. Come on. Snap out of character. 'Tis time to
go away. Stop thinking. It's probably just my freaking jealousy.
BAck to the real world. Band concert coming up! 21st May, Esplanade, 7.30 pm, tickets $20/$25/$15. The $15 ones to be released soon. Repertoire (not necessarily in that order, but most likely to be):
Orpheus in the Underworld
Dona Nobis Pacem
Do Enka Express
MACHU PICCHU!
~Intermission~
Alumni Band'll be playing 2 songs of their choice
Entrance of the Gladiators
The Immovable Do
Star Wars Trilogy
Our highlight. How exciting. 20 minutes long it is. But Machu Picchu is still the most feel-able and express-able one. Oh well.
I wish this would all end quickly so I can get back to studying! And emoting. Hah. Funny. Rubbish.
I am not an optimist!
