TKWO workshop

hmm.. today was the immediate workshop for trumpet...and other instruments: clar and trombone.. i think today was the earliest day i woke up throughout this sept. holidays..lolx..the rest were like..erm...10 to 11 am plus...

reached ACSI..and omg..their sch is damn big..more like a office building to me...esp the insides...the carparks..the structures...

we were registering our names in the sch..when jason found tt there's error in his participating details..he claimed tt he was participating for the immediate lesson only..which the error was for advanced(observer)...then..he suddenly remembered tt he signed wrongly on the edusave form given to all of us..lolx.. he made us all rather worried..due to his CARELESSNESS!!

next...we were in the lecture theatre..waiting for the instructor, Ms Mamiko Ando..trumpeter of TKWO. the no, of participants turn out to be very much less than i expected...because..before the application form was ready...we had already decided and informed our teacher..for applying the workshops for us... Ms Mamiko arrived...and we all remained silent..well..throughout the whole thing..hardly any pple were chatting away...

Ms Mamiko's playing is superb..impressive...her warm-out exercises were crazy enough..fast and a wide range of low and high notes... then... she introduced to us when she started playing the trumpet..and how she was impressed by a trumpet playing...from the song " Olympic Celebration "( i forgot wad's the tittle..)....omg..she was super loud... goose pimples were felt by nerves of my arms and face...

well..though the workshop was gd..but..there was 1 thing tt spoiled my mood...u see...4 pple were late for the workshop..and when Ms Mamiko was conducting the lecture.. they just walked into the lecture room as if nth happened..then..when Ms Mamiko gave us a break of 10 mins while she went out ...these 4 pple went out of the theatre and played their instruments... then..when Ms Mamiko returned to the theatre...and the break had ended...those 4 pple were still outside playing their instruments!! somemore.. Ms Mamiko had to personally go out of the theatre and ask them to come back in...this is truly ATROCIOUS!! dont they have any respect for Ms Mamiko?! plus..Ms Mamiko is from TKWO...all the more we shld respect her..she's trying to be as humble as she can..i can see that...because she did told us of some of her difficulties in playing trumpet...

there's too much for me to blog everything i learned from this workshop..they all need understanding..so..yea..i understand can liao...haha...at the end of the workshop..Ms Mamiko played a small piece for us..a concerto...but i didnt hear clearly wad the tittle was...gonna check it out 'soon'...i actually wanted to take a photo with Ms Mamiko..but she left in a hurry..so..haix.. so sad... :(

after which...me,zy,jason and jr all went to jurong to have lunch..jr 's having the advanced workshop..so he left for it first..while the rest of us went to IMM...wanted to go to Band World..never been there before...but..mr toh was not in..and their shop was closed..though we knew tt the staff were in the warehouse..we walked past it...but none of us have the 'courage' to enter...

thus..we spent the time in wandering in IMM..with our heavy instruments..my hands were sore from it...the arms were like jelly..no strength at all...

had my dinner with my dad and bro...went popular bookshop..saw ferran..he just had a basketball competition...den...blah blah blah...nth interesting happened afterwards..except tt i realised how much hw i had not completed...sianz..tml den do..gg play harvest moon now...
