Eighty-8
Actually the 'g's a treble clef... Ei(treble clef)hty-8, the concert organised by the VJC Piano Ensemble. 7.30pm at VJC's Performance Theatre. My second time there... the first was about a year ago. I've got a church friend who performed in three items and her elder sister who graduated last year performed in one. Didn't know the elder one's performing... we only got flowers for the younger one :/
Eunice Olsen was the guest performer, together with someone called Calin Wong who's supposed to be quite good at the piano. Eunice Olsen played on the piano while Calin Wong sang... two Jazz songs, "Quando x 3" and "Over the Rainbow". Well, all I can say is that perhaps Calin Wong isn't suitable for singing Jazz songs. Either that, or I don't know how to appreciate Jazz. Anyway, Eunice Olsen became the "配角" because she was playing at the piano... I didn't even hear her speak loh.
All in all, the concert was enjoyable. I quite like a piece titled "Elektrik" performed by two alumni members... a bit of the Maksim style. The background music bass accompaniment was a little too loud though. A pity. The melody part was good, although I was straining my ears to try to catch it.
Saw the cousin of a good friend of mine... went over to say hi to her. She's now a teacher at VJC. She was from the same batch as me when we were at TJC, two classes away from my class I think. My friend told me that she didn't know who I am... so, since I saw her, I went over to say hi. Yep, me saying hi to someone whom I've never spoken to before... and at a public place somemore. Ha. Oh well, we're supposed to know each other by name anyway. So it's nothing. I hope I didn't frighten her or something... since the first thing I did was to call her name from behind her seat.
I went down to school earlier in the afternoon to clear my locker, only to discover that I only have an empty box in there. An empty packaging for a Creative mouse which one of my coursemates helped me get when he was at the Creative fair last year or early this year I think. Oh well, I had to take back the lock anyway, so it wasn't really a wasted trip. Met a friend who had graduated and was in school to use the Internet because her laptop's internal modem wasn't working. Erm, it's been faulty since the beginning of the year loh...
Dropped by the Co-op before going home. I bought ream of printing paper as well as an eraser (the kind whereby the eraser dust will stick together de) for my cousin. She's always losing her erasers... hope she'll take good care of this one. Came home from school, bought food (lunch + dinner), ate and left my place to go down to Bedok MRT to meet my friends before we headed for the concert.
Hmmm, Xiaxue's blog was hacked and restored. I'm waiting for her entry on how it got restored. I think Blogspot helped her... there couldn't be any other means of a full restore without involvement from the Blogspot team.
