well, normally I sit for exams, but this time round, no. I WAS THE EXAMINER! you must have thought it was so cool... but in fact... it wasnt..... indeed it was my first experience. If you were to ask me how i felt being an examiner, I would tell you, its not easy, and its very tiring! I finally understand why most piano examiners never really smile at you (except one I've met so far...). Come on, imagine you have to listen to so many people playing the same thing all over again... UGhhhhhhhhhh! Feel the boredom? well, unless they really really impress you of course... I admitted I nearly fell asleep just by listening to them... :P (no offense to those juniors though) I thought I'd rather practice pieces.. haha.. Well for once! Coz normally I'd prefer not practising.......and find thousands of excuses to teach people... =DD Not only its boring, its difficult to give marks to candidates either......It's like, I dont know, you're good, but not that good, what should you deserve? Its tough situation..... And the comments part... HAH!! I later found out that I was the most lenient examiner..... Yikes! you should see the marks SOME examiner gave...... I nearly fainted....... After the exams....... I showed off the design that we came out with to most people...... Comments?

yes, i'm nuts i know. about clothes and costumes and hairstyles, blah... the list goes on.... well, today there was CO meeting. they suggested that i'll guide the ''design team'' for the concert. fyi, design team(to them) - designing posters and tickets. i said i wanted to do the costume stuff. they sort of banned me from doing that, said that we will be wearing black and whites (knew it!)for the performance. thinking: GOSH man, IS the world no other colours except blacks and whites? and my response? you know it..... they told me that the teacher is going to make vests for everyone to match the old red-red costume. my heart broke. really!! and they told me they dont have enough $$$$$ to make costumes(my design), but they have $$$$$ to make vests. i'm really speechless and i admit that i 'beh song' the idea. i dont know why, but i'm getting paranoid these days. especially when people doesnt seem to accept my design and opinions. hmm... too sensitive unnecessarily i guess.... i just hope and hope and hope the ''design team" includes designing costumes and taking care of make up and hairstyles of all the performers. i still think that we need those kind of stuff for the concert. maybe i'm stubborn but i dont care. from the bottom of my heart, i really would like OUR orchestra to look good on stage( talking about appearance here), at least more professional marh.... well, i dont like the vests and blacks and whites (no offence though), its just too simple and plain maybe - like waitresses and waiters? i think that would be perfectly suitable for semi-formal stuffs like i mentioned. as for this grand grand GRAND concert, well... u know what i want lah... didnt they say they wanted to upgrade our image to prove to some other people???
