back from malaysia!!..went KL and genting..haha..it was quite ok..went on a little shopping spree..and ended up buying 4 nice shirts!..chocs...cookies..and cakes!...wah..every day eat a lot..until i got one big fat tummy..and it looks so ugly when i m trying new clothes!...and so sad!!..i failed to get new pants..new bag..and i forgot to look for slippers!!..(those beach kind de)..haiz...tried to get those kind of slippers...err..like between formal and casual kind de..but thanks to my big fat foot..i can't wear them!..rah!!..so in the end this shopping spree not very successful..
wah..when trying to take the cable car up to genting highlands...there was like so much pushing to go up and escalator to queue..all the poor kids are like squashed between adults' asses and being suffocated la...i think the luckiest person there is my brother...cos he got the freshest air due to his height..and there is like totally no order...once the security guards open the barrier ppl just try to chiong in the less than 1m wide opening...like wth???..i nearly couldn't go pass tt barrier cos my foot got stuck in some pram..haha..so my mum just simply used her whole body and stretched out one hand to stop other ppl from going in and tried to pull me out with her other hand..haha!!..come to think of it...it's quite dramatic..after tt when we are on escalator..she still scolding those ppl for being uncivilised etc etc etc..and then we still had to queue for like more than 1 hour for the cable car...rah..and in the end when we reached genting we just shopped..and i can't play the theme park etc!!..cos my grandma came along with us and i can't expect her to sit on a bench with my mum and watch me play right..haiz..but hope tt next time can go with friends and play more =)..
anyway..was reading zhengyou's blog..and saw a few ppl's comments abt good music..haha..was thinking tt good music just simply comes when every single person involved...regardless they are part of the audience or the performer..feel connected to the music and eventually moved by the music at the moment..haha..this should be the so-called perfection for me..to achieve this performers definitely have to have technique and musicality..haha..remembered ttk always say tt music not only have ying1 (technique)...always must have yue4 (musicality)..tt's why music is called ying1 yue4 in chinese..but i think musicality is more impt in defining quality of music..cos that really differentiates which music moves ppl and which music don't..everyone can achieve technique if they are taught the right way and are willing to put in the time and effort to master the technique..but musicality is not so straightforward...not only do we have to listen..we have to filter through what we have listened and play with the correct style..like western music we can't use the baroque style to play chopin's music..and for chinese music we have to be able to differentiate the different styles of different places and genres..like how to do the hua yin etc..plus if we belong to an orchestra...it is even more difficult as we have to blend in different playing styles together as one to produce music as a whole..and this has to be achieved through bonding and listening out for one another...and no one will really want to listen to music tt has no musicality...cos tt will be no difference from a robot's playing..tl always said tt the reason why ppl still want to listen to other ppl play music is tt the musicality adds a human touch to the music..and tt is what moves ppl..which is quite true =)...
haha..so much for those boring crapping..shall have to start packing for my camp ^^
just moved on @ 11:48:00 PM...
