拼命的上網　悶壞的胸口讓我
想大聲的吶喊
我努力不放　
你冷淡　你讓分手就這樣我連做夢也感覺受傷
一年過了　還是一天？　計算著慌張
計程車上的音響
我們最愛的情歌
這一刻卻重重擊破思念的心臟夜深了我怎麼辦　寂寞了誰在身旁
心情變得好複雜　想她　念她　恨她一個人你害怕嗎　
細數過滿天星光說好永遠不分開　多假多假多假
讓記憶長出翅膀飛翔
(沒有你)心放空了　寂寞好了
堅強外表下　我脆弱　情人節開始失常
別人慶祝我卻很失落秋天過了　冬天漫長歡愉而感傷
我們天真的勇敢我們追求的夢想捨不得也只能收藏旅行的時光
寂寞感冒全都可以好的
愛多甜　傷多痛　都釋放

on my way home

2010-05-13T02:53:00.002+08:00

As i was on my way home today, I suddenly thought of this: How horrible it must have been, to live on this world deaf. There's no many things you can't do,appreciate,listen/hear.

I really admire those musicians who are still able to be one of the best in the world despite being somewhat handicapped in one way or another, one of them will be the famous percussion soloist. She's brilliant..

Can't imagine how i will survive to play music if I suddenly go deaf one day. Unimaginable. It's gonna be worse than hell probably, not able to hear what you have to say, not able to listen to music, not able to practice effectively? that i don't know.. bla......
lol

Misfortune

2010-05-05T23:53:00.002+08:00

Misfortune

I have been thinking a lot of misfortune happenings because of dangerous looking objects everywhere. What if one fine day I were to be disfigured, what's gonna happen to my life, I don't think i wanna continue as a musician, but i dun be a musician, what else can i do. The society works in such a way that most disabled people are seen as undesirables. If that's the case, I might as well just end my life and put my misery to an end, but that wouldn't be fair to others isn't it. To others who care about me.

Then another occasion, I forgot what i saw, but i imagine if my hands were chopped off. My life is gone, I can do nothing else already. I don't think i can be like those miracle handicapped people(sorry i got no idea how to make it sound better), and still lead on a happy life and still try to motivate others and say it's not so hard. But the Australian(i think)guy, when he said something about having no hands, how is he going to hold his wife's hand, something like that. How am i going to hold the hands of my loved ones, physical contact is something which is very important, to me at least. I　want to be able to feel them properly. 希望我不會有這一天, some may say I'm thinking too much.

But hey, the future is so unpredictable,anything can happen. I might just die tomorrow, for no real good reason. But i just wanna let you know,you are in my heart.

Life

2010-04-30T21:58:00.000+08:00

Life is fucked-up-ly unfair and fucked up.

aimless

2010-04-18T21:29:00.002+08:00

I feel aimless recently once again. As if I lose my goal in life, don't know what to do in life.

But, is that true? no i don't think so. I know what i want, or at least I am aiming somewhere ain't I? But it's very vague, I have yet to pin down specifically where and how and why. This is not good.

I need to find more time. If only 1 day = 100 hours, that would be good, but that will be horrible wouldn't it. Lol.

I feel stupid. Able to comprehend is one thing, able to explain is another, able to bring out how you feel is another totally different thing. Sigh. me = bad application of knowledge learnt in many aspects. Sounds like a bad thing eh. Ohhh dear. Life oh life, art thou gonna be easy on me? (oops, lousy old + modern eng)

Excerpts, Repertoire, History, Theory, Aural, Sight singing.. all these are current, short term, temporary. Yes they help to build up fundamentals and everything. But in the long run, what's in for me? Ohhhh, how i wish i can see the future.

remembered

2010-03-03T03:09:00.003+08:00

i just remembered what i wanted to say in the afternoon.

So as i continue my way to the train station, was crossing the park, a toddler was blading his kick scooter past me and he lost balance when he was trying to avoid me and he feel and i bend down to help him up and he's just so brave, not crying or whining and continued..

and he fell again afterwards because he dropped from a slightly higher ground -.-"

really cute, and the maid(i presume it's the maid, mum would rush forward or scold the kid, i guess) was laughing at him falling and asking him to get up again and say thank you to me. hahahaha..

I ain't really hardworking. I just.. love fluteing that's all.

Reflection

2010-03-02T18:41:00.002+08:00

Reflection

As i was leaving my HDB this morning, i saw this funeral-furniture-truck. you know those that transport the funeral chairs and table etc. The moment i saw those, it suddenly brings back memories of my grandfather's funeral.

I refuse to believe my maid when she told me my grandfather died, when she was fetching me from school. I was thinking it was a very lousy joke to make and it sounds absurd. When we were under our blk, i saw people setting up for a funeral and she told me again i still refuse to believe it.

When we outside my unit, i saw shoes, and i thought oh yay my cousins and aunt are here. I went in into the room happily only to realise they are all weeping. That was when i realise what my maid said was true and i ran to my mum's bed to wail,cry,whatever terms you wanna add in.

That sounded quite crazy huh, suddenly mentioning about funeral outta nowhere, what's new~ clement's bizarre ._.

But one thing's for sure. Clement's getting whinny-ier these days... lol

I can't remember what i wanted to type over here, but oh well. This is suppose to be a happy blog ._.

bla, so now from danzi to mozart.

April 6! Mozart Flute Concerto No.1 at NAFA Lee Foundation Theatre! Me! Do comE! if anyone reads this blog. lol

winner

2010-02-25T00:59:00.001+08:00

yay! Thanks people for supporting and helping me out! :D

Really shocked to know that it was actually me, couldn't really believe it. But.. honoured definitely.

Theory test is... gone case.. seriously. lol

stress

2010-02-20T22:34:00.004+08:00

stress

I realise, or rather i have already realise it long ago but it's always/probably at the back of my mind, that i can't really handle stress well.

I get so upset over puny little things when they ain't as important as things that involve the nation of something... I go bonkers when I am very stress... It's as if my heart's really heavy, I can't breathe and as if I haven't slept for one night. I wanted to tell you about it but i was worried you might get worried yourself and think that it is your fault which caused me to be stressed up. But no it ain't, so don't think too much about it eh..

This stressed up feeling...

totally sucks....

Talk about handling performance stress... lol.

Prepared = er... mmm ok..
Unprepared = dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

so what's my current situation? I don't know. I get stressed so easily damn and it's not like I'm some 14 yr old kid. Not acting like my age huh...Wake up clement, let's go back fluteing right now.

...

2010-02-09T23:15:00.001+08:00

I hate it, boo to the day.

Thanks for coming yesterday.

exhausted

2010-02-01T16:00:00.000+08:00

exhausted... very exhausted. It's just a few hours of school and i'm so shagged. damn.

exciting

2010-02-01T09:31:00.002+08:00

exciting

Finally Ayo audition is over, but yay, that's not the only thing i was looking forward to( but it's still a big one though!)

Now i shall continue to danzi and make sure the darn concerto sounds decent as a whole~ ahhhh fingers, please work well with my tongue or i slap all of you! -.-"

So it appears musicality is really much more supreme over many aspects of music. You can have excellent tone, excellent technique, you have no music, begone. Or so it seems in many places, especially the western countries.

When are we gonna learn that, realise that? I mean I'm still obsess with trying to get good technique. Oh wait, i do need it for my career....

Tiring days it has been, but this is only the 3rd or 4th week of school, whoa. wonderfully. hopefully i get a break in between (other than my 1 week sch break) 10 more weeks to end of school! rawr!@#$%UI

New Blogskin

2010-01-16T23:15:00.004+08:00

Yay! New blogskin!

Thanks to someone =D

Today has been a rather short day, oh well, as compared to yesterday o.o Time just flies like a plane, ZOOOMMM. and it's always 11:16pm now ._.

here's something nice for we all :D

OH THIS IS ME IN THE FUTURE. HAHAHAHAHHA

just that the flute looks abit short ._.

and this is the current me i guess? o.o

hours of practice.

2010-01-12T00:54:00.002+08:00

I really do hope that if by doing 4 hours of practice (at least) everyday(or so) the hard work will pay off.

Just worked on some more technical stuffs today, and i really did what i was told, start slow and speed by BIT BY BIT. reason being, to play in a relaxed manner so as to get the muscle memory working well and playing without tension when playing fast. Oh well, i did try that. and after on that for quite a while, i tried to move back to the original tempo.

Guess what? disaster strikes..

What was i expecting? a miracle? nah, i was just hoping i can adapt quickly and ZOOM and continue with other stuffs, apparently my muscles ain't fast enough to adapt. DAMN YOU!@#$%^&*(( ha, i'm scolding my own body ,how stupid. -.-

Money money money~ it's so funny, in a rich man's world~

omg, i actually can memorise some pop song lyrics. LOLOLOL! oh that's from abba in case people don't know what's that. Been(or rather ongoing) spending quite a lot of money to invest in myself recently -_- dung dung dung. but oh well, rather essential i guess. footwear, lessons, war.

yay. confirmed, 3 wars upcoming, 1st one's coming in the end of the month, the other 2 coming in early feb -.-" yayyyyyyyyy i'm dying from working on too much pieces all at one shot. big mouth and ambition (BECAUSE OF NOT PRACTICING SLOWLY ALWAYS) damn.

Oh a separate note, it's not that i didn't realise what would happen, it just, slipped off my mind. It had disturbed me for quite a while actually but it just... went away after some time subconsciously... sucks when insensitivity kicks in. Sorry, will bear that in mind.

FLUTE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

contradicting fellow

2010-01-04T23:51:00.002+08:00

I think i am a contradicting dude~ and i guess my horoscope's rather accurate, well according to what my sister found online XD.

Why i say that?

For instance, i love to flute ._. but i'm lazy to play the flute sometimes. Like today, i think more or less i played my flute for at least 5 hours (of course i loitered in between from 12pm all the way to 8pm i guess). Now i feel like playing it again! but i just feel so lazy -.-

Yes and some will be asking "don't your neighbours complain for playing at such an hour?" the answer is.. no :D they don't cause they can't hear me, or so i think. And no, my room is not sound proof. lazy to explain, need to draw too. bla.

and damnit. yeah i know it's my fault, but couldn't you voice out your god damn opinion before it was done? and then after they left then you start complaining, like wtf wth wtsh. oh the last one's what the shit hell. LOLOLOL. and now it's totally my fault. damn.

ooo.. sudden change in mood huh, random. lol

I don't think i can

2009-12-31T03:21:00.000+08:00

really Keep my promise/what i mentioned just now,it's bugging me quite a bit...

sorry.but i guess it'll come later until I'm sure its ok to sleep. Oh well.......(:

don't worry.am perfectly fine~

cool:p using my new phone to blog...heh

2009-12-28T23:18:00.003+08:00

rawr. i shall go get a new phone tomorrow!

Oh. that sounds so perfectly random. HAAHAHHA.

Tsk, Clement, you are nuts..

Yes, i agree with myself very much (:

ahhh flutey, we need to fight soon again. 2 wars. make that 3(exam too) coming up!@#$%^
War No.1 : Prepare for war no.2
War No.2 : SHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! and hope for the best, not like i stand any chance, but still good try.
War No.3 : If i get that god damn bloody horrible grade again, i really wanna knock myself on the wall and make sure i smell my own blood.

Ohh wait, that gruesome. Change that to make sure i don't even see that grade. Yes, that's better ((((:

Oh man -.- What kind of lousy reasoning was that?!? Beats me:D ask my brain~

Oh, i played duet today. hahaha ahhhh, too little scores, maybe it's time to dig for more scores. YES!!! THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR GIGS :D:D:D come come~ who wanna help me find score ^^

i can't...

2009-12-19T21:51:00.002+08:00

smile for nuts. or rather, i don't know how to smile with my teeth being shown. i can only :). i don't know how to :D. OMG! HOW STUPID AND HORRIBLE CAN THIS GET TO BE ?!?!?! >.<

and here im . so pathetic. bla. Anybody wanna come for Sembawang Symphonic Winds' concert on 2nd Jan '10, Saturday at VCH 7pm?? Tix at $12 free seating!

Repertoire:
Theresa Teng Medley
Phantom of the Opera
New World Symphony

Do contact me if you're interesting in attending the concert.

yay, uncertainty uncertainty uncertainty~ sucks like hell. There's this terrible feeling that comes every now and then whenever i was reminded of , or thought of that particular thing. I hate that feeling, but i can't get rid of it until i face the issue probably and settles it. But that would probably take awhile for me to gather the courage and talk about it huh.

Wanted to post some nice sceneries which i took in taiwan, but i can't exactly find the mood and patience to upload them, maybe next time. Tsk and someone don't believe a 3.2megapixel phone can do that. tsk tsk.

Don't worry I will take good care of him ^^

rawrfcuxjmqexdf98yoi1j23wker

2009-12-09T21:48:00.002+08:00

I am officially an idiot.

First we did illegal stuff -.-", next i drop my wallet, then i emo-ed.

Next i ran back to the scene of where i think i lost my wallet, had a serious bad stitches feeling/alternatively my mum's friend suspect i might get 盲腸炎.

With the speculation, after bathing i don't feel good, seems like my temperature's rising. Yay, now my temperature is : 37.5 37.6 37.9 37.3 37.6 ... So which one is it?????

AND MY DAMN LEG'S GONNA BE ROTTEN SOON, TMDTMD TMD IT'S NOT HEALED YET.

Ok fine, let's amputate my leg so i don't need to go ns, can continuing study.

Wow, what a lousy post.

eggs

2009-12-03T00:40:00.002+08:00

I have committed a 'sin' -.-" why?

I ATE LIKE 8 EGGS WITHIN 4 DAYS. HOLY COW. THAT'S LIKE ...MORE THAN 1 WEEKS "WORTH" OF EGGS. -.-

Have totally no idea whether is it just me or am i really suffering from too much eggs. feel rather 'heaty' / face itches!

The weather's getting colder and drier.Bla to the weather.

Done some investment on myself today :D gotten 3 new scores more suitable for gigs. bwahahahaha... or should i go gagagagagaga? -.- tsk.

lol, initially i wanted to post what i had in mind first..

2009-12-01T08:01:00.003+08:00

but my ah gong was watching news and i have to say this! OMFREAKING-G. for the next few days(including today!) it's gonna be below 20degrees here!wheeeee, and with that i can continue what i wanna say....

And there i was thinking 'mmmm...right, aussie was so much colder back then' and i changed my mind when i went out this morning to buy a NEW lip balm :( (old one was attacked by unknown person but speculating right at the moment) and get my beloved breakfast :D. There i was,being very confident-.- why? i was just wearing a tshirt with sweater and shorts. yes. SHORTS.legs were cold T_T but not like i can be bothered to go back into the house and change to my jeans or something. oh well ._.

Who in the freaking world will wake up at 7.30am and just to go out get a freaking lip balm? me =.=" oh man, what's going on~~~~hahaahha.but this is cool, auto-waking at 7+ :D, you don't see me doing that everyday.

joke:
進了早餐店后，看到了我想要吃的三明治，本來想說“老闆！給我一份18號的！”但我沒講出來。因爲：爲什麽他們只擺出18跟20號呢？1-17and 19四到哪兒了？！？！

這是我才恍然大悟== 白癡。。。那是三明治的價錢啦...... -.-

ok so maybe that's not really a joke.. but definitely something stupid that i will/would do -.- a cup of milk tea + sandwich = $18 NT = approx. $0.90 SGD. AHHHHHhhhhhh這麽好吃的早餐才9毛錢！太酷了！~ =.= 我在耍白癡/三八。 okok, i will be fluteing soon i guess, didnt work on it yesterday, just touched in for awhile only on sun. bleah.

Nagging point: LIP BALM, THICK CLOTHING

quotation: 'aiyoooo... so naggy'

muahahaha(evil grin)

-the end-

Pressure.

2009-11-28T22:35:00.003+08:00

Yes, Pressure. I'm FEELING IT.

Seems like there's gonna be quite a bit of competition in the near future, sounds like time to really buck up soon or i will just fall behind.

So many are coming up, so many potential mates/colleagues/however you wanna name them.

突然感到鼻痠....

I realise what the hell i have been doing. And that don't feel great, the way how i treat some of my family members. After hearing stories,facts, I don't think I should behave like how i should but just couldn't control my actions,behaviour, at times. This sucks. I guess i need to change slowly huh. haha...

I like this last photo. Took it myself (:

suddenly...

2009-11-24T12:50:00.001+08:00

I miss my old friends.

Pain.. hahahahahahahha

2009-11-20T22:34:00.001+08:00

my heart was pounding rather hard as i watch the conversation going on ._. hahahahahhaahaha

3.

yay 8 more days... oh no 8 more days... contradicting eh. hahaha

2009-11-15T21:54:00.001+08:00

sorry

brain oh brain

2009-11-13T02:43:00.002+08:00

Oh dear brainy,

Can you be a smarter. Stop making yourself feeling paranoid. It's unhealthy and it's just plain weird for one part for a person to tell the other part of the person.

So please be sensible and stop spouting nonsense to the rest of us.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Mind.

ok, whoever sees that is going to ' -___________- ' WHO WANNA BET I'M WRONG! =\ be honest!

EXAMS COMING!

2009-11-08T16:08:00.002+08:00

ONE THING DOWN, MORE TO COME!

I can't believe I'm actually really studying for my exam... Simply astonishing...

Just wanted to show this part which i saw and was o_O surprised by it.

Was studying for Development of Concerto and reading up on Bartok and this came across! Ok, so this is quoted from the book ' A history of the Concerto' : 'The fourth movement, Intermezzo Interrotto(interrupted intermezzo) . . . . . . . . . . . The main themes are folklike, while the interruption is a quotation by the clarinet from shostakovich's seventh symphony.. . . . . found the theme so ridiculous that he decided to parody it. Jeers and rude noises from the orchestra greet the tune.'

Holy cow~ and while i was quoting this passage, my windows media player was playing that part, how cool can that get to be? ._. and i heard the jeering parts.. -.-" really evil, Mr Bela Bartok.. even if you don't understand music, you can tell that the tune was being made fun of, that is just how obvious it was -.-" Bartok's dislike for Shostakovich.. LOL!

OK , back to studying the rest of the darn stuffs. Shucks i dio dao lor, bet must be sleeping like a pig =\ -evil grin- eh heh heh.

自大狂

2009-11-02T23:00:00.004+08:00

看到你真得很想揍你。該死的自大狂。
算了，反正你也看不到，送你一句：吃屎吧！= =

人家跟你好好講，態度就不能好一點嗎？起碼也像樣一點，裝一下不會死。
沒禮貌的傢伙。認識你真的是。。。非常的他媽的=.=

拍謝~ 非罵不可..噁心的傢伙。
真不知道別人怎麽受得了你，你可憐的女朋友呀。。。

哦，今天心血來潮用中文打字. 超難得的哈啊哈哈，今天的遭遇還真是點點點（...)呀~ 不可思議的事情都踫到了。我還是賭我會贏。

你如果真的是男子漢的話就該跟他講清楚，曖昧很好玩哦-.-?!真是的，他不信我說的啦，自己跟他講拉老兄/小弟。

ps.我今天看到本尊了。

2009-10-28T00:57:00.004+08:00

So this is how the orchestra pit looks like. cool huh. it's really really squeezy down there >.<
Oh look a fairy! Nah, one of my senior, vocalist.

And here, introducing this! Meet Telemann the paper crane/ The paper crane named Telemann :D hahahahahaha.

2009-10-24T22:50:00.002+08:00

feels like shit..................................

oh wait, no i didn't say that in case i got caught for copyright infringement.

mind's in a nonsensical mess now. massive mess. ok not really.

And i was so motivated to practice just awhile ago........came along at the wrong time man....

tmd la.so many things due and this kind of thing must occur at this kind of timing. yay.

2009-10-22T04:33:00.000+08:00

耶！做完了！= =" 在外國都已經天亮了-.-"

早安呀各位！

我要睡了，晚安！

ok that totally makes no sense. see ya peoples

2009-10-22T00:38:00.003+08:00

and sometimes i can't but wonder if i'm being used by others.

Putting that aside, work and stress is coming in, 吃大便拉

這麽多東西要做了還塞更多作業，可以睡覺才有鬼勒。

and there was this stupid thought that came into my mind: drinking!

must be outta my mind, using that to chill. stupid.

ahhhh clement lim a clement lim 你只能怪自己办事效率低呀

2009-10-21T00:13:00.002+08:00

Oh and so i found new upcoming friendly Samaritan...What did the person do?

Clear the pathway with 大力金剛腿 that was blocked by a humongous piece of leaf :D

i realise

2009-10-20T00:22:00.002+08:00

there are many weird kids around ._. .... ok then again, who am i to judge? i'm weird myself.LOL

And i pondered, what am i trying to achieve? Why am i doing this? I mean, by helping out, yes it is a good thing. But what is the purpose of doing it so?

Staying all the way back till so freaking late o.O , hey no, if it so happens both or either one of you saw this entry, NO!!! i ain't shooting or complaining or whatsoever. I'm just reflecting upon my own action.

I don't see a good reason why am i helping out. Or rather, there is nothing wrong with helping out right? Like, helping a friend to solve a problem, fulfill certain requirement etc. etc. Or maybe should i say, the question is: Is there a need for a reason to help someone out?

Oh just earlier on i offered help again. How does it help me by helping others? so maybe it's like the opposite of 害人害己？ <--- means u harm others = u harming urself.

Now i feel stupid again -.-" isn't this a rather simple thing only and i'm making such a commotion. rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Ok, so this could be probably just be another mundane rant of mine. lolololololol.

And i came across this message just now. Just wanted to say: Hope you're doing fine dear friend.

freaking irritating

2009-10-18T21:53:00.003+08:00

Is this the best example as a role model you can show to the younger generation? Is that it? The ability to put work before everything else. EVERYTHING ELSE i say. damnit.

It is just so freaking irritating see this and not being able to do anything at all. I felt useless and what if in a situation where life's really at stake? I'm just glad nothing really exactly horrible came out of this incident, but it made us see clearly what the hell you are made up of.

So yeah, talk about people huh. Reflect on your own freaking actions before you judge others damnit. It doesn't matter if you can say it nicely to others and you can't frigging do it yourself. Actor.

Right so back to business. Because of that time was really wasted away, literally.

Stupid me.

The stupid feeling stayed there for a long time and it's finally going away. coolios.
Wonder if it will come back again if i try this.

I thought the percussion ensemble was impressive (:

The other half could have been much better, aieh. jia you bah.

Cadenza

2009-10-12T22:26:00.002+08:00

Great, just when i decided to start writing my cadenza assignment I'm officially stuck -.-' Why? simple. In the past, cadenzas were written at the end of the movement(for classical), but as time goes on, cadenzas can just pop out anywhere, the front,the middle or the end.

And my dear lovely Mr Mercadante so happens to like to have his cadenza section right in the middle of the piece and here's the question: CAN I HAVE MY CADENZA CONTAINING THEMATIC IDEAS THAT ARE GONNA COME OUT ONLY IN THE LATER PART OF THE PIECE WHEN IT'S HAS YET BEEN PLAYED BY NEITHER THE SOLOIST NOR ORCHESTRA?!?!?!

ok, i'm noisy. Let's see what other assignments i have;
theory group presentation,homework
and i suddenly shivered. lOLHAHA
Band directing's videoing and preparing on how to take on a live band who will give you headache.

That's all? how come it seems a lot. oh right. stupid lousy timetable and other stuffs i have. Rawr.

Ps.Chocolate don't last yo ._.

2009-10-09T00:08:00.002+08:00

The end of year issue just keep on coming back. damnit.

Ahhhhhhhh. not a productive day... my lessons.... dung, my marks.

I wanted very much to post 2 videos up here, but i can't . not meant for general audience. one will make u -.-. the other will shock u to death. LOL

life is so... not fun, from time to time. or rather very often.

When there's no more support, everything starts falling apart.

dead meat

2009-10-01T03:29:00.002+08:00

Whoever reads this post would probably feel like killing after they read this post, when they found out the timing.

But since i mentioned it already they will probably check it out after i wrote it, so yah. LOL.

Crazy me, but yeah i was watching this movie 'Farinelli' , about a castrato's live. Really nice music in there. Bla.... I don't know what to say. It's nice basically.

IGUDESMAN & JOO are really lame -.-"

Even their biography is -.-" read this if you want or you can really just skip it:
.
.
.
.

Aleksey Igudesman and Richard Hyung-ki Joo are two classical musicians who have taken the world by storm with their unique and hilarious theatrical shows, which combine comedy with classical music and popular culture. Their clips on YouTube, to date, have gathered over 15 million hits, and they have appeared live on television in several countries, including an exclusive interview for CNN. Equally comfortable performing in classical concert halls, as well as in stadiums in front of crowds of 18,000, their unified dream is to make classical music accessible to a wider and younger audience.

Aleksey and Hyung-ki met at the age of twelve, at the Yehudi Menuhin School, in England, and since then, have remained strong friends and writing partners. In 2004, following in the footsteps of luminaries such as Victor Borge and Dudley Moore, they created their first groundbreaking show, "A Little Nightmare Music". Since then, they have performed with major symphony orchestras around the world and have played at some of the world's biggest stages and festivals.

Many of classical music's biggest names, such as Emanuel Ax, Janine Jansen, Gidon Kremer, Mischa Maisky, Viktoria Mullova, and Julian Rachlin, have joined them in their zany musical sketches, and recently, they performed exclusively for one of classical music's greatest conductors, Bernard Haitink, who thereafter said, "Igudesman and Joo played at my 80th birthday celebrations. I nearly died laughing. I'd like to invite them back for my 85th, but that might be considered reckless...Great musicians, great fun."

Their performances reach well outside of the classical field and last year they toured Europe with legends of the pop world such as Robin Gibb (Bee Gees), Midge Ure (Ultravox), co-creator of Live Aid and Band Aid, Tears for Fears, Simple Minds, and Kim Wilde.

Individually, Aleksey Igudesman has worked with musicians ranging from Academy® Award winning Hollywood composer, Hans Zimmer, to multi Grammy® Award winning vocalist, Bobby McFerrin. Richard Hyung-ki Joo, has worked with Academy® Award winning composer, Vangelis, and was chosen by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Billy Joel, to arrange and record Joel's classical compositions on a CD, which reached no.1 on the Billboard Charts. Aleksey and Hyung-ki have also collaborated with the actor, Roger Moore, on several occasions for UNICEF.

Later this year, the German TV Broadcasting Channel, ZDF, will air a documentary, or rather "Mockumentary" on the Igudesman & Joo story.
.
ALEKSEY IGUDESMAN

Aleksey Igudesman was born in Leningrad at a very young age. He has never won any competitions, mainly because he has never entered any. During his studies at the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin School, he read the entire plays of Bernhard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, and Anton Chekhov, which didn't improve his violin playing (incidentally, he is a violinist) but made him feel foolishly somewhat superior to other less intellectually endowed, yet harder practising, colleagues.

After studying with Boris Kuschnir at the Vienna Conservatoire and being told many times by many people that they were rather worried about his future, he embarked on a successful career playing, composing, and arranging for his string trio, "Triology". They recorded several CD's for BMG, worked in Hollywood with Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer, and performed with Bobby McFerrin, Julian Rachlin, Janine Jansen, and other people who are less famous, but just as great.

Aleksey Igudesman writes a lot of music. Often he goes to bed writing and gets up writing. He sometimes feels a little insecure about his music, although it is published by Universal Edition, and tries to compensate for it by being rather extrovert. In fact, his psychiatrist tells him that he is insecure about a lot of things. Aleksey is not so sure about that.

Back at school he met his "IGUDESMAN & JOO" partner, Richard Hyung-ki Joo. After a few initial small differences, resulting in several people holding them both back from smashing chairs and music stands on each other's heads, Joo offered Igudesman some fish and chips, which he simply could not refuse. This in turn led to collaboration over many years, which culminated in the creation of "A Little Nightmare Music", a show they tour together making people laugh.

After Gidon Kremer heard them several times, he wanted to join in the fun, so to speak, and asked them if they would like to do something together. The answer was obvious and "Being Gidon Kremer" was born.
Ever since then, Igudesman & Joo have been writing and re-writing the script for the show a million times and are rather glad to have finally settled on something they all seem to like. (Well, until the next time Gidon comes up with 10 new ideas of how to turn everything upside down!)

Aleksey Igudesman plays on a Santo Seraphin violin from the year 1717, which is kindly loaned to him by ERSTE BANK, (the nicest, sweetest, most charming, and best-looking bank in the world) since he doesn't have the cash to buy his own and they don't mind him doing a bit of advertising for them.

Richard Hyung-ki Joo was born. He is British, but looks Korean, or the other way around, or both. He showed his first signs of a sense of comedy whilst nappy-changing and shortly thereafter, showed his love for music when his parents would find him at the record store listening for hours to everything from Mozart to Bee Gees. (Although the two are never to be confused, Hyung-ki is often heard singing "Don Giovanni" in the style of Barry Gibb).

He started piano lessons at the age of eight and a half and two years later won a place at the Yehudi Menuhin School. There, he discovered that he was among geniuses and child prodigies and was convinced he would be kicked out of school, year after year. In fact, he was not kicked "out" but kicked "around" by teachers and fellow students, such as Aleksey Igudesman. After these painful experiences, Joo invented a new type of piano playing known as "Karate Piano". No matter how difficult his years at the school may have been, it only strengthened his love of music, and he also realised that the world of classical music had little to do with the spirit in which the music was created and began dreaming of a way to bring this great music to a wider and newer audience- a dream which has recently been realised through his show: "A Little Nightmare Music".

Hyung-ki, spelt R-I-C-H-A-R-D, and pronounced "Dick", is the only Korean Jew, (spelt J-O-O) in the world. He has performed at the White House, in a red house, and sadly not with Bernhard Greenhouse. However, Reachhard Yankee Jew, has performed with luminaries as diverse as Larry Adler, Gidon Kremer, Yehudi Menuhin, Yoko Ono, Jerry Lee Lewis, George Gershwin (after Gershwin's death), Arturo Toscanini (with a Music Minus One CD), and Nicolo Paganini (during a dream which then changed into a scene from an Indiana Jones Movie, as dreams do).

Hyung-ki has small hands and therefore finds some piano repertoire quite difficult to play, such as the music of Rachmaninov, who had Big Hands, (HK:"BUT ONLY HANDS SMALL!"). Anyway, even with this small hindrance, he loves to perform chamber music with fellow artists such as Renaud Capucon, Thomas Carroll, Michael Collins, Janine Jansen, Mischa Maisky, and Julian Rachlin, and happily performs recitals and also concertos with orchestras that include the London Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, Warsaw Sinfonia, and the "Con-fessional" Orchestra. He also has a passion for teaching and has taught at institutions that include the Yehudi Menuhin School and Guildhall School of Music, although his passion does sometimes lead to screaming in an unintelligible language.

Hyzjxiiung%key's other achievements include: unofficial world record for "Fastest Tooth-brusher", watching the movie "Mission Impossible" 8 times in a row within 23 hours, and possessing a spectrum of over 500 different types of laughter which he hopes to record one day for a famous recording company.

Skip to here.... So i was watching their videos over and over again and find them really entertaining and inspiring. It's really a good mixture to keep audience really entertained. Something i would like the do, well not to that extend probably but still something fun and entertaining, but of quality work still (: .

Ok, i'm gonna die if i don't sleep soon. Good nights everyone and happy children's day to all babies. hahahahahaha

School post

2009-09-29T13:00:00.002+08:00

So here i'm in school blogging, partially because i finished lecture and had a heavy breakfast thus not going to lunch tilll... i have no idea what time. lol..

Glad that i'm learning something new everything, even if it's not academic, more on preparing of my career.

It was only until yesterday i realise how naive/dumb/silly i was to think that to i have started out early by performing ever since sec 2, i was so proud of it.

But now i think of it -.-" crap, a lot of schools, i'm not sure if it's most, but yeah, lots of schools gave their sec 1 the platform to perform in concerts already. And there i was going 'YAY I PERFORMED IN VCH WHEN I WAS ONLY SEC 2'. No big deal huh. Maybe just my school. lol.

I started out late, ok maybe not too late, but not early too. Just average i guess?

And i feel really slow now -.-" i only know how to play all my scales when i am. .. . . hahahaha.

I'M SURE SOMEBODY WAS TALKING BAD/CURSING ME AFTER LECTURE! I SNEEZED CONTINUOUSLY MORE THAN 5 TIMES JUST NOW!!! OWN UP OWN UP! lol

post no. 444 (si si si)

2009-09-25T22:52:00.002+08:00

die die die. lol ok not funny.

I'm so tired that i'm sure i can sleep for 1 whole year without waking up.

All because of ... tsk tsk tsk.

HOW I WISH I CAN HAVE A RECITAL WHICH WILL BE HELD 9PM ONWARDS, AND THE AUDIENCE DON'T MIND THAT IT LAST TILL 11PM! but sadly. i'm sure that is not going to be possible.... stupid lips.

Hate waking up and when i play the flute, sounding horrible/uncontrollable.

my hair..... no it is not Mohawk, neither did is it skin head, i mean bald. BUT!@!@$#%^**^&(*(

lol

2009-09-23T19:10:00.003+08:00

right. so it didn't sound TOO bad.. but still.... argh.

Why am i always so drama? lol.

once again, i feel stupid and retarded. I seem to feel that always. lol.

---------------------------

As usual, contradicting. Time passes so quickly yet so slowly....

yes...holidays coming... exactly in.. 59 days..where i can finally have a real real real break( i guess)

but no.... 58/9 more days to sufffer, that's long..... but it's so fast -.-, exams coming...

2009-09-22T23:13:00.001+08:00

This is soo... bla... pressure....Hopefully tomorrow will turn out fun.

Talk about pressure, shessh. Don't like it, but was told and i hate to admit this, i have to adapt to it.

2009-09-21T10:26:00.000+08:00

THIS IS SO ._. , THERE'S ONLY 3 PEOPLE IN SCHOOL NOW! SO COOL!!

lol,not that the school campus is humongous -.-

Tired!

2009-09-20T20:56:00.002+08:00

Rawr.. finally get to sleep enough and here i am feeling so tired.Kinda irritating but i feel sick -_-". Not funny.

I dreamt something weird, 2 in fact.
1. I dreamt my teacher treated me a meal which was promised to me weeks ago (but i haven't received it in real life of course)
2. I dreamt that my senior who rejected the accompaniment took it up o_O (ok i'm not sure if i am dreaming or it is real, but i am too lazy to find out).

Today was... bla, not a productive day. Besides warming up and preparing for the gig, didn't really prac my stuffs.

Hopefully tomorrow's a better day. Has to be. Must be.

I wonder how's the day of the kid who 'boo's. (NO! NOT BB OR BCX!!!!@#$%^&)

16th september didn't feel like a normal school day.

2009-09-17T00:36:00.002+08:00

now is 17th september! ok that's pretty stupid, everyone knows that.

16th didn't seem like a normal school day. how come??

Right. 'cause i didn't went to school early to practice but instead i became a tour guide bringing people to their destination: Windworks. ta dah.

And i was happily trying out flutes and SOPRANO TROMBONE and eventually i forgot I GOT TO REACH SCHOOL BY 12PM BECAUSE THERE IS MUSIC PLATFORM TO ATTEND!

So i had to fly man. LOL but good thing i'm saved. Almost died(just kidding).

Had orchestra, and the next thing i did was go home ._. Pretty early for Wednesdays.. but guess i have to do that now every week, all thanks to Mr S. Lee AH! i wonder if he reads my blog.*hoy, you, don't tempt him to read my blog, yes you, you know who you are. kok you a >.<*

Isopods are disturbing-looking creatures. Warning. Not meant for the faint-hearted ones. So to prevent people from being too curious and clicking links, I suggest you google it yourself. They are = ="... the tongue-eating ones.BLAH!

On a less-disgusting note, Paganini is really disgusting too, ok i mean, he is really PAGANINI for a reason darn -.-, so unplayable on the flute(almost).

Loaded myself with too many pieces i guess, at one shot. Bolling's suite for flute and jazz piano trio~ Faure's fantasie~ Reinecke's concerto(3 mvt of course)~ enesco's cantabile and presto + my own fun pieces mendelssohn violin con and erm... actually. thats all huh.

WITH ETUDES AND HORRIBLE SCALES T_T

2009-09-15T01:15:00.001+08:00

oh man i wanted to post a joke, real life joke which i personally experienced, but i was stopped :( .

SO! TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT! PLEASE ASK ME AND I WILL TELL YOU FOC!

ps. it might get published :P *wink*

eww. ok ignore that last **, too -.-"

Moonlight Sonata

2009-09-10T00:36:00.002+08:00

I have come to realise, out of all Beethoven's Piano Sonatas.. Seems like Moonlight's the one i loved the most right from the start even till now..

The start. The over-ly played one. The dreamy one.

Ok fine, though classical period is suppose to be absolute music, i like to say i can picture a story in my mind for moonlight sonata.

The 1st movement started off moody. really moody, or emo as some of us may call it today. The depression, the heaviness and everything sad is just all in your head, the suicidal thought(now, isn't this familiar) The feeling of everything's lost.

And just when you thought everything was lost, a ray of light shines into your window, and you see the peacefulness outside where people are happy, then comes the parade passing by and then the peacefulness comes back.

that was when, the outburst of emotion comes in. In the finale/ok fine, last movement. all the energy comes poof and all anger,emotions are being poured out as if there's not enough time and you must have it done with very little rests and breaks in between to get whatever you need to do to be done and ends with a loud bang.

2009-09-07T02:06:00.001+08:00

barely touching the tip of the ice berg. i have so much more to learn.....

2009-09-07T01:28:00.000+08:00

the concert was..i think it was amazing. very.

and seems like today's my first no-nonsense conversation, serious one, with mr simon lee. LOL

2009-09-04T23:41:00.000+08:00

one of our most famous flautist in the world, playing i would say one of the hardest concerto for flute?ok, make that one of the most famous hard concertos for flute, since i don't TOO many flute concertos.

oh man, memorising this just seems impossible and he did it -_- . ok fine, then again, we are talking about the best flautist in the world today. heh heh..

HOW TO PLAY THIS BY LIKE NEXT YEAR LA?!?!?!?!

2009-09-04T23:07:00.000+08:00

To be or not to be...

To buy or not to buy?!?!?!?!?

The feeling is now so dreadful, it's almost... disgusting? not a nice word to use, or rather should i say, abandoned? unfruitful?

Can't see the direction anymore, used to thought there was, seems like there isn't any actually huh...

Am i heading towards the right direction? or rather, am i doing what it takes to get to the right one?

homo sapiens

2009-08-26T22:54:00.000+08:00

Lol, i really think we, human beings are weird erm. creatures,beings.

Ok, fine i should not say all. i mean most of us.. ok no, too generalised. some of us(actually, what difference does this make? beats me, but probably would make some feel better)..

So i was saying, some of us are so easily affected by things that don't really affect us directly in some way or another actually... For instance, i am from country A and i see people from country b suffering from natural disasters. And guess what? i hardly even know them, not to mention even seen them before in my whole life, and i just.. well would get pretty upset seeing them injured, dead , went missing when they hardly affect my life.

Ok , so maybe that wasn't such a good example. ok , say....

com'on, gimme a clue.
.
.
.
.
.
.
say teaching. Say there's this teacher and a student. This teacher tried to teach this student something, and this student refused to learn. The teacher gets upset. Why? it is not as if the student will affect the personal life of the teacher (unless they are related somewhat, other than teacher-student relation) weirrrrrrrrrrrrddddddd..

Another one, say something happy. you know what. i can't think of any good examples..

basically i'm just trying to say we are such emotional creatures, we get emotionally affected by things that happens around us(that means anything around the world,almost!)

ok wait, something actually came into my mind. so if we get affected emotionally, it means something's affecting us right? and we only get affected when things that are around us gets erm, affected, does that means we are selfish?(that's alot of "affected"s i know) because you see. If If IF say john played this game and won top prize and mary knows it and is very happy for him. Mary is not John's sibling or anything, just a friend, ok maybe good friend.

So Mary is happy because John, her friend/good friend, won top prize even though he might not share anything with her, she is still happy! Because HE is HER FRIEND. HER friend.so that means selfish isn't it? because he is RELATED to her, so he AFFECTED her EMOTIONALLY, because it somewhat concerns her, directly or indirectly.

So is that right? human beings = very emotional = selfish?

Ewww. so what's the point of this post? don't know, randomness.

2009-08-25T14:11:00.000+08:00

Sick = not fun.

Anyone disagree? Guess not.

Rawr.. hate being sick, though get to rest at home, it's so freaking boring. don't even have mood to practice efficiently. Talk about lesson... gonna have it like in 2 days time.

Hope that will be able to have enough strength to work this evening. Shall go sleep now. drowziness is taking place..

Ps. Just realised i was really dumb that night, i actually planned the 'event' when it is still one week away.. no wonder the 'huh? so early..' hahaha..

false alarm

2009-08-23T23:31:00.000+08:00

boo mozart! he made my mum had a shock. or rather my fault

was listening to this...

for tomorrow's development of concerto's mock exam tomorrow... well

so basically what happened was, it's in 2/4 really fast. and the pianist's brilliant and i got excited when i heard those semiquavers and running ntoes and decided to yell/scream/shout in excitement, it wasn't very loud actually but loud enough for my mum and she thought i saw a ghost or somthing and rushed into my room..

my bad =\

wa

2009-08-22T00:59:00.001+08:00

kudos to the musicians! bravo!

1 of the few concerts that i was totally attentive all the way.

Freaking hungry now. stomach growled like 3 times within 1/2 hour. lolol. nights.

saddening

2009-08-20T00:31:00.002+08:00

The following entry is based on a TRUE EXPERIENCE OF THE WRITER HIMSELF, WHICH IS ME!@#$%^&*

while i was on my way to teach piano, i went past this void where these 2 siblings are playing soccer and when the sister was about to kick the ball, the bro stopped the sis by saying ' oi wait, got uncle'

and then...

WAIT! UNCLE?!@#$%$?@%$#%^%&^ HE IS TALKING ABOUT ME!!!! UNCLE! AND THE SISTER TURNED TO LOOK AT ME , SO SHE SAW ME BUT SHE DIDN'T CORRECT HIM! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol stupid and saddening.

Then we move on, seems like the girls i teach hai... not just their fault, partially my fault too huh, not being able to make them learn effectively. one is just too lazy and refuse to learn, the other is trying to learn but not putting in enough effort and takes longer time to think and i can't seem to find a solution for the kid, arghhhhhhhhhh.

holy cow, new york phil's concert ticket is eeeeeeeeexxxxxxxppeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnsiiiiiiiveeeeeeeeee... cheapest is $78! MAHLER SYMPHONY 1 T_____________T!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly 2 weeks ago

2009-08-17T01:24:00.002+08:00

was when i last blogged, cool huh and i just suddenly decided to blog and didn't even thought of the day XD. ok ignore this, it's stupid. lol.

Attended the mr. baroque flautist's masterclass, man.... i think i really gotta do some self reflection, i mean , hey they are probably all around my age so what the thing that makes them able to do it and i can't? rawr..

Must start planning some silly timetable and make myself die from practicing and able to submit my homework and able to let me gasp some fresh air(internet/relax/food etc. LOL) at the same time.

The tone of the pro. is simply amazing, it's so light and silvery and sweet at the same time, something i would desire to have T_T. So i noticed something, seems like those with gold flutes seem to have an easier time to get that time of sound, or am i try just trying to convince myself that silver flute sounds darker? No that don't make sense, i thought they say GOLD makes the tone darker.. lol ah whatever.

The school's amazing, GOOD VENTILATION(yeah, i commented about that for our meeting), so cool the place, as in the temperature cool~ cold~ lololol. big roooooomssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss =(

Jealousy is taking over. lol.

and it was abit -_- hahaha, so bu yao lian, middle of the night till afternoon so hyper. LOL =P

realization

2009-08-03T01:09:00.002+08:00

i just realised something scary. i have to work on my fingerings. as in technical exercises. for like at least 2 hours. to get them moving right and clicking mechanically decently ._.

so my around 5 hours of individual prac didn't really go down to waste~ good. LOL SIAO LIAO LA 2 OR 3 HOOURS TO WARM UP. LOL

Ich möchte die Außenwelt zu sehen

2009-07-14T02:26:00.004+08:00

Figure out the title yourself.

Just finished flute-ing say 10 minutes ago? yeah, i know. pretty 'early' now, but no fear, neighbours can't hear my playing so no worries about police coming(even if they come, they should be arresting the workers downstairs who are whacking and removing the tiles).

Seems like i really work/practice better at night, afternoon's prac was demoralising, but maybe it could be due to the afternoon's practice and after a long break then resume to practicing, it was better.

The concert was hmmm~ interesting. Was amazed very much, but i am sure it could have been much better.

Bought Mahler's 5th symphony played by Berlin Phil under Karajan's conducting, ah listening to the 1st movement now, the death march theme, ever so depressing yet lovely(ok wrong term but it's very nice basically).

I wanna go outside, to see the world..

concerts

2009-07-10T02:10:00.003+08:00

rawr...

This is insane, there's just too many concerts i wanna watch at the end of the year.

SIX!!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE?! say one ticket is . erm. $18.20 (provided still got that discount), that's 6 concerts. that will be about $109 dollars. then plus that 3 dollar charge... $130!!!!!! then still got the flute concerto concert which may or not not watch(depending if i'm in singapore). bla..

Remind me to start saving money. LOL. alternatively, i can just use the money from my pay. LOL, but that wouldn't be very exciting wouldn't it. but painful huh.

Scenario 1
"YAY! I GOT MY PAY!" next moment ... "OMG MY PAY . ALL GONE AT ONE SHOT 'CAUSE OF CONCERT!"

The end.

This sounds really good. Composed by some kid around my age.

2009-07-08T21:29:00.001+08:00

why do i feel like. i'm behaving like an emo kid now. lol

fake -.-

2009-07-08T01:56:00.001+08:00

If anyone tells you they went like this at 1:54 in a concert, especially classical music.. they are faking you -.-" .. ok that was just too exaggerated...

Rossini's Overture from the "Barber of Seville"

2009-07-07T00:48:00.002+08:00

So i was getting bored in the middle of the night, well if it was lester, he would say 'the night's still young XD'. Lol. but ok that's not the point.

Was browsing through youtube and listening to La Gazza Ladra Overture, Rossini's too, and it came to me... I have never listen to the full overture of Barber of Seville...only know the famous part~ played by the strings.

Which resulted in me coming across 2 videos. One is a live performance, but sadly not video of the musicians, just the music and some posters or something pasted up by the dude who uploaded the video. I think the other was a live performance too, since it looks like they were performing in an orchestral pit. which looks really small and crampy. ok point proven, it's a live performance too.

Here's video 1

And here's video 2

Video 1 is played by.. i don't know who so i can't give any credit huh. 2nd video's by Radio Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart under the direction of Gabriele Ferro(seems pretty young). Basically we have an unknown orchestra vs a German orchestra.

What got my attention was when i first listened to Stuttgart's video(listened to it first actually!), the playing was very fine , very precise. Very neat,melody sound from the winds but somewhat something was lacking, and so i thought could it be... volume or something? i couldn't really find the word. It just sounds like something's missing, so i decided to get another video to compare~ and tadah i got us the unknown orchestra.

So the unknown orchestra, i like the playing more i guess? at least from the winds. The ensemble sound of the orchestra seems to be fuller as compared to the German orchestra, but ok, it could be due to that orchestra is bigger in size than the Stuttgart one, but i will give credit to Stuttgart that they are really neat and fluent. (both are in fact).

But here comes the question: Which would you prefer? A very neat sounding wind section but somewhat the intensity(ah ha, i found the word!) isn't there or rather not enough, while another wind section is that it's very intensified(more than the other one) but it sounds somewhat not as tidy.. perhaps more players or intonation wasn't as brilliant. So neat but not enough or enough but not too neat?

Which one's more desired?

Ps. For those who don't know, Rossini is an Italian composer who lived in the Romantic Period(1820+ - before 20th century), i can't remember the exact date -.- and i call myself a music student. lol. yeah so, he's very famous for this piece and la gazza ladra and williamtell overture. in case people are wondering about william tell overture, it's the piece they always associate with horse race, horse galloping etc. , so there. you got it. don't say you never listen to classical music in your whole life.

2nd concert. random stuffs.

2009-07-04T01:00:00.003+08:00

hmm.. so i have heard of sso for like ages.. ever since i step into the music scene. but... i guess no one would believe this is only my 2nd time watching sso live huh...

so much for being a band/orchestra geek or whatever they call me. mad musician when i was sec 4 if i remember correctly (oh well, for my class,my i-don't know-how-long-ago de clique)

Shucks.. i can't believe i'm actually blogging. it seems like ages since i blog again...

Scheherazade was brilliant! so was my teacher XD, ah.... how i wish i can play like him, bla... (that better not be just a 'hope', better come true if i wanna become what i wanna be.)

seems like, whatever i do, almost everything has gotta do my future career huh. wonder if that's a good thing or not so good.... i mean yeah more exposure... but... aieh, seems like i'm just trapped in....

..

what some calls as well 'trapped in my own world'.

don't like this.

Saw christopher soh just now in esplanade. whoa, i think he. hmmm... 'aged' hahaha, don't know, looks more mature after getting into ns. been so long ever since i last saw him, ok not so long(saw him just before ny's syf) but maybe i didn't look at him carefully. lol.

memories are funny things aren't they.. they just suddenly come and go whenever they/you like to... some past memories came up, made me remember how good the old days were... miss those days , but not like they are gonna come back anymore, everybody gotta keep moving and not stay on the same spot forever huh.

that's some awesome video i was introduced by a kid :) , ok not kid. but yeah OBOIST. LOL. Looking at such videos sometimes makes you go ' whoa.. she's like really awesome. and she's just.. what? 10 years older than me? will i be able to become something like her someday???' bla...

concerts over!

2009-06-23T02:43:00.002+08:00

seems like my blog's dead and people are probably wondering if i died along the way too. but just to keep you guys to your toes, LOL, im still alive here and still kicking i guess. lol.

just finished 2 concerts in 2 consecutive nights, good experience i say. maybe i will get this kind of experience more next time.

2 different bands, 2 different styles, 2 different groups of people. interesting. hahaha.

National Youth Winds.. hmmm,think i will try it out next year again. hur hur hur.

Had a great time. bah.

ps. anyone knows how to write profile for concert?? like. write a nice one. HAHA

hair or wig

2009-05-06T16:29:00.000+08:00

lol. saw myself in the mirror just now, and i just realise, my hair...

it looked at as i'm wearing a wig over my head i guess. lol. seems like to me.

no idea.

exams be gone, shoo. never liked them.

one down , more to go

2009-04-18T02:23:00.002+08:00

It's like. oh well. some stuffs settled , and you can TAKE JUST A MINI LITTLE BREAK and. off you go, back to work!

that's the impression what most of us have now i suppose. lol.
oh well. training. LOL

and what the hell is monetize? seems like a new function on blogger. lol.

it's really wonderful to know that there's wonderful music out there, and wonderful people making lovely music from these music written by those wonderful people who wrote them even though they passed away for like a pretty long time.

That sounded pretty random doesn't it? that's me i guess. lol

2009-04-17T10:47:00.001+08:00

omg . i can like finally blog again. lol

2009-03-06T02:33:00.002+08:00

the more i look up for stuffs on the net the more depressed i get, seems like this won't do eh.

need to buck up more, sleep more, sleep early, work more.

This world just totally becoming smaller and smaller as every second passes by.

DAMN.

Time to be gone.

dead

2009-03-04T01:21:00.002+08:00

lol. this blog is as dead as its owner i suppose. not that i'm dead or what. just.. very inactive i guess.

It's either there's too many things going on or too little things going on that i can't be bothered to write things up here.

And they say having a certain of stress in your life is good, it's healthy. and i totally totally agree with it, if not i guess i'll just probably really be just gaming all day and flute ONCE in A WHILE.

So once again i went about questioning on WHERE in the world should i go after these few years? France or Germany were the answers i was given. ahh.. Language ain't my forte. i'll probably lose my job, as a linguist who does interpreting, within the day i got hired -_-.

Lurker lurking around, popping out once in awhile to check out the surrounding and burrows itself again and waits to see if anything comes pass.

Don't ask me why lurker,some zerg from starcraft, it just came into my mind.

Remembered had been quite a bastard for stuffs back then every now and then i think about them, aieh.... given a chance, wouldn't have tried to done stuffs like that and resulted in committing stupid mistakes. Oh well, part of my live/life experience eh. fun..

2009-02-23T02:46:00.002+08:00

I'm totally in shock now. this is Eastman Wind Orchestra's playing, which consists of just the year ONES and TWOS!(not 3rd and 4th year!)

THIS IS FIRST AND SECOND YEAR'S STANDARD OF PLAYING! SO FREAKING HIGH. OMGOMGOMOGMOMGOMGOMGOMG. and so they are not the pros yet. Eastman Wind Ensemble consists of graduates and UNDERGRADUATES. so THEIR PLAYING WILL BE EVEN MORE IMBA. god...

scary.

oh on a lighter note.lol. i'm still a sucker for gummy sweets -.-" , calling out to all. buy me gummies and i will be under your command! LOL

seek for improvement

2009-02-18T22:42:00.001+08:00

possess: tone, intonation,dynamic,expression
lack: technique.

conclusion: fail.

remark:work your ass off

Amazing -.-

2009-02-17T00:47:00.002+08:00

wheee, my blog died for like like more than a month. and it's still here!

cool isn't it, and i wonder why do i always start off my damnm topic with something, must be something that i eat everyday. lol.

So today amazingly , i came across a rat that doesn't run away when a person is standing right in front of you. That occurred while walking home today, or rather just now. i was just in front of it, and the rat just stopped and sniffing around, and when i say 'shoo' and just nice i decided to move along -.-".

I decided not to walk across it in case it gets tense up and decided to attack me, not a good thing. lol.

Follow up next. my imagination ran wild. i thought i saw a monster or something really weird/scary jumping into the mini drain, me being me, definitely starting to feel spooked and when i look again, a cat jumped out -_-"

Amazing imagination isn't it. next i was approached two cockroaches -.-".. man.. how many pests/surprise do i even need in a day.... LOL

Singapore Art Scenes is just... blah... 1000 words journal reflection, on WHAT YOU TELL ME?! WRITE WHAT. CLOTH CLOTH CLOTH CLOTH x 250 TIMES,that makes a thousand words for you...

ahh.. oh well, all the lame stuffs starting to came out. speaking of that, reminds me of naruto, was watching naruto and there's this episode where there's 2 fatties 'bad stupid idiot guys', and they freaked out when they saw tsunade(fifth hokage) and called her great sister -.-". if you watch naruto, im sure u will know where i'm talking about. just so freaking stupid and funny.lol

new year new year

2009-01-30T23:41:00.003+08:00

i wish a happy new year,
i wish you chinese new year,
i wish you a happy new year
and get many hong bao!

sing it in (we wish you a merry christmas) tune.

ok i just made that up all of a sudden. it's was as we know. super lame and crappy.

So it was chiense new year,or rather it still is, but this year. or rather the recent years it's getting more and more boring.Stay at house for the whole 3 days(including eve), stare at people, wait for hong bao, go back room, play com, dont dare flute. not gonna AA.

Hmm. i wonder how's samurai gonna sound like, can't wait to hear it being played.

Been rather lazy, ahh. damn. now now, that wouldn't help me alot in the future isn't it. And look at what the hell am i doing now. wasting time.

It's an amazing thing you know? as in, you know what's right or rather what you should be doing but you( i mean we, or most of us) has the ability to ignore it and continue doing what we SHOULDN'T be doing -.-" Isn't that interesting. lol, ok i guess not. half the people who read this will go '-_- clement.. you left me speechless'... as for the other half.. i donno. *fill in the blank yourself*

Hope i get in. New York is so gonna be exciting. February, March then April eh. oh well. that's all for now folks

not enough.

2009-01-15T22:39:00.002+08:00

I practice 4 hours in school, and i almost died. but guess what? It ain't enough.

DEFINITELY not enough to get me into juliard. yah. i can dream my whole life and i still don't get in,neither will i be able to get into RAM, RCM or paris conservatoire.

i doubt 4 hours will really get me anywhere. ahh...

the feeling of playing flute with a sore throat ain't nice, oh well, at least with medication it's gonna be better soon i guess..

The feeling's really bad, why? the amount of input is not the same as the amount of output produced.. then again, could it be i was using the wrong method?argh...

so there's CPE Bach, JC Bach and WF bach. hmm WF.. haven't heard that one for a long time..

SO 4 HOURS, IS DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH, I'M OFF TO PRAC MORE, DAMNIT.

OMG!

2009-01-13T02:44:00.001+08:00

THIS IS FREAKING DAMN COOL!!!!!

OK EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE/HAVE NO INTEREST IN CLASSICAL MUSIC, JUST CLICK AND TAKE A LOOK AND LISTEN TO THIS, YOU WON'T DIE!!!!!!!!!! this is just so coool. unbelievable. astonishing i say. hahaha

having things in mind not posted.

2009-01-13T02:02:00.002+08:00

Me being me, having things in mind and not posting out after a couple of days = forgot what i wanted to wrote. lol. oh well.

Just when you thought you never have to read that again..
.
.
.
.
.
.

AND SUDDENLY 'WITH HEART AND VOICE' CAME STRAIGHT AT YOU AND SAY ' TOO BAD BOY, YOU GOTTA PLAY ME AGAIN WITH ANOTHER BAND MUAHAHAHA!'

and so sadly, i have to play with heart and voice again -_-, after teaching not enough, now gotta perform the piece. wth man =.= .
and that first piece of the day was just sooooo awesomely cool haha. Leos Janacek's Sinfonietta. insanely interesting piece. Tell me if you have the recording and do send me eh~ hahahaha.

But overall, today(or rather, yesterday) was another insane today.
here's my timetable for the day.

0830 wake up
1100-1300 Orchestra
1400-1600 Band
1600-1730 Singapore Arts Scene(FASHION! OMG!freaking hard -.-)
1820-1915 Principal Study(aka flute lesson!)
2015-2200 Orients(i hope i got the name right T_T, basically swo woodwind quintet) practice

tiring day~ oh well, should have arranged my stuffs properly and after that was home and do work till 0150 of 13th jan? hur hur hur. interesting life i got~.

To ensure one's standard mantain, one gotta keep practicing. By ensuring that practice has been done does not ensure one's standard raised. That is something important i learnt.

Homeworks are never things that students like to do, unless you're somewhat a workaholic i suppose =X.

question: what would happen if musical terms are used for singapore arts scene(fashion)'s assignement? e.g this kind of clothing could be found during the BAROQUE PERIOD, the colour was CRESENDO-ing and if you observe the waves on the shirt, it should signs of RITENUTO and ACCELERANDO.

LOL!

and i was told mozart has a fetish for poo. hmmm, time for consulting doctor kan. hahahaha...

school's life starting again, time to 收心了阿不然就完蛋了，真是的。
the end.

400th post. death? lol

2009-01-08T01:05:00.002+08:00

400. si bai. take away 1 'i' and you get si ba (die ar)

lol. so not saying anything doesn't mean not realising or not knowing anything. it's just. sit by the ledge and see what happens, to see if predictions do come true.

so here's this tiny conversation which i have with xiao chuan tonight,riverside people ,especially band ones don't know him shall die!, he's the top scorer in riverside 2003/4 can't remember, 6 pointer, everything A if i rememeber correctly, plays the euphonium.

blabla blabla. and we went on to talk about youtube symphony and beethoven's eroica a little bit

so that's about it for now i guessed.

happy new year~

2009-01-02T03:29:00.002+08:00

yo people, it's the 2nd day of 2009 and i guess i was 1 day late wishing everyone happy new year! *not that it really matters to anyone i guess*

oh well, new year sure was boring. but what to do~ never mind, let's just hope that the year gets better, and so they say a new year ,a brand new beginning( OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT).

Been playing half-life, yes i know it's an old school game or it's pretty outdated but hey it's fun killing monsters and tooting my flute as usual at the wrong timings, i should swoop the times of how i do things you know. like flute in the afternoon then play game at night. but that just doesn't appeal to me. lol.

oh well, happy new year. may your wishes come true and whatever there is you wanna add in, fill in yourself! tadah. 3.33am

christmas eve special

2008-12-24T23:47:00.002+08:00

So today i will bring to you christmas eve's special event. on WHAT did CLEMENT LIM did on CHRISTMAS EVE???

.
.
.
.
.

and we shall take a SHORT break(NOT) so stay tuned!

'.... so what the heck was that all about?'everyone who read this entry wonders..

ok so cut the crap, it's christmas eve and i spent my day watching youtube and tooting my flute since 3 pm since i woke up at about 1pm. so it's flute break flute break flute slack flute chat etc. etc.

interesting day isn't it. oh well , wasn't expecting much anyway. haix. youtube symphony, ROYAL COLLEGE of MUSIC, ROYALL ACADEMY OF MUSIC, PARIS CONSERVATOIRE AND MANY MORE. tsk...

this is RCM.

and this is RAM

good publicity isn't it, makes you wanna drool and goes ' I WANNA BE IN THE SCHOOL TOO' oh well, but ha. they are just really that good in music..

so what ? english? french? italian? or even german perhaps?

wait what am i saying? these are the big big big names for music and i have yet to even consider amercian styles, and countries like netherland, russia etc. oh....

all these just seem like dreams that are far away. look at me now, what have i achieved so far. lol. i haven't even got a driving license -.-, ok that's not the point.

oh well, there goes christmas eve and say hello to watch 'cartoon-play flute-use computer' day in a couple of minutes.

so far the days in taiwan

2008-12-14T22:56:00.003+08:00

aieh, so the days got a bit boring because of restrictions even though it's almost like home but it's still different. i think i mentioned previously before on my post but i will mention it again. lol. restricted to the fact that my fluteing activity is restricted and the tv and computer and toddler was very distracting issues to handle. too many channels with good shows to watch,(maybe not com since i haven been using it much), and my toddler cousin! he always wans me to play with him .. ahhh haha. lol.

so this is a little thing of what me and one of my cousin have done over this weekend. went to this humongous science centre like thingy which was freaking near our house,just 10 minutes walk will reach but he decided to ride us over with his bike anyway, 太方便了. that place was huge. but it was bloody empty.. so much for spending so much money and building it but not many people go and visit it -_-

we were standing in front of this really funny mirror which will move and well, our physical appearance will change. you get what i mean after seeing the photos. haha. i like this one better than the next one. hahaha

so that's the other one. and. im lazy to change the direction of the photo . so there, tilt your head or something. hohohahaha.lol.

the weather's nutty. the past 2 days it was rather warm and today was freaking cold -_- and i swear today was the day that i ate 'the most amount of vegetable ever in my life' during lunch cuz we were eating steamboat, and it's every one got one to themselves and well.. loads of veggies. killer. oops. no offence to vegetarians. hahaha.

OMGOMGOMGOMG

2008-12-10T02:33:00.001+08:00

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! YOUTUBE ORCHESTRA! SO AWESOME!

sax. nothing's gonna chane my love for you

as my title suggests. here's 2 videos for you to watch/listen to and well. tell me which one you like more =). as musicians, we should always compare and contrast(LOL) and pick up useful elements from here and there and make your own style and interpretation~

okok, that sounds abit lame, but hey that's true.

AND you can always just listen to it as if someone's asking you which tone is better for him/her to work on~

here's video number 1 played by kaori kobayashi,famous lady with the sax XD. i think

video number 2 by danny jung, famous guy too i guess ._.

enjoy the music =).
got 5 ulcers, bought wonderful scores(they are damn cheap here! but dont have much variety argh!), GAIN WEIGHT. OMG.lol, i sounded stupid.

babysit

2008-11-27T00:32:00.002+08:00

lol okay so i'm now half or almost a baby sitter now, with my baby cousin ok not baby, going 3 yrs old toddler cousin sticking to me like glue like how i stick to my mum when i was young. and i can't really flute much T_T

so when i fluted today, i went omfg. is that really how i sound like now, and 2 1/2 hours of warming up and playing my flute did help la -_- but.. argh. tomorrow must 加倍努力！

i think i put this up before , but it's just so freaking funny ahahaha. it's a mockery to mozart's music seriously =\ but oh well, she's rich enough to make her own er, tapes?discs? and give to her friends as some sort of gifts if i did not remember wrongly. lol. amazing.

so u compare her to him XD

ahahaha. i guess not alot of people will listen to the videos, but oh well~

2008-11-25T11:40:00.000+08:00

omg, remind me not to move like an idiot when im playing. looks yucky..

HOLIDAY!

2008-11-25T00:55:00.002+08:00

whoooo. so finally im blogging again~ but well i ain't in singapore now. hahaha so make a guess where i am huh XD

it's good that holiday's here.. needed a break anyway. school's quite a distraction for me when im practicing. tsk, cant sit/stand still in the practice room, stuffy and squeezing, and the big room. don't like it.. so home-like places are still the based for me.

makes you wonder if i'm more suitable for chamber performances huh. hahaha

Ahh, my aunt flew to italy already.. to er upgrade herself from her teacher i should say? and my godmother was telling her to buy the thing that she felt she loved the most while 'shopping' there to reward herself from time to time.

so yesterday night we went to my aunt's house to visit her XD and me being me, asked my sister to bring her flute along so we can play some stuffs there and see if my aunt wanna be accompanist or something and turned out we didnt do anything much =(

but we did went with her to get her a digital camera!and it's nice and good XD. warning, don't ask me anything about the camera, i only know it's pink and it's good, i'm a technology idiot. lolmy sister's blog might post some info there.so check it out if you want.

Back in my aunt's house.. she took out, no not when we were back. it's BEFORE we went out, she showed us this book for piano,vocal and flute!!! and she was saying we could try it out but lack one part , either vocal or piano, but actually no. cuz my sis can play the piano, me flute, she voice! so she forgot we could play the piano too T_T. but that's besides the point. the sad thing was , by the time we got back from shopping was it's too late to try the piece out, people might complain..

now we gotta wait till hmm.. i dunno, couple of days before we fly back to sg.. ah.. it's gonna be longgggggg...

holidays

2008-11-02T19:15:00.002+08:00

hurray, holidays is coming.

and finally, submission of all assignments, oh well the portfolios basically...All that's left now.. is.. PS exam and papers to take. good, one week break. nooo it's not for you to rest, is for you to study..

argh sad.

's been very tiring and i would say basically alot of crap shit happened la. be it i caused it or not, ahh. tmd -_-.

Grade 8 theory exam, is like finally. finally finally, i took it and it's over...not bad huh, finish it within 2/3 of the duration,finished answer the general questions first, so if you were wondering what are general questions? they are qn 4 and 5, on er..piano/solo works,accompanied. and orchestral scores studies(?? not sure), but bascially, answer given set from the given scores.lol and my beloved qn 1 which is trio sonata... is as everly, horrible, took me more than 1 hour i guess. LOL

All that's left is nafa's theory le...ha ha ha.

today is 2 nov. so means, hahaha, it is er, 11 days old! hahahha. go figure out what i meant. ahhaha, though it's not stated clearly what's it that i'm talking about.

Babies are adorable. hhaha, i can just open a pre-school something and look after babies and teach them music. oh , and i was saying i can teach them beethoven and chopin, and they can learn mozart themselves. Why? They say mozart is too easy for children but too difficult for adults, thus... hahaha. don't get it? go search the net.

20 days left. haha.

early indeed

2008-10-21T01:18:00.002+08:00

yup 'early' indeed. if you ask what am i doing? well the answer is, i just finished flute-ing. heh. 's been awhile since i flute till erm so late.

The source of inspiration/hardworkingness is because IT'S COMING TOMORROW! , and LAO SHI'S SUPERB PLAYING TODAY AND! PLATFORM'S ON WEDNESDAY!1AHHHH. oh speaking of platform.... -.- i didn't prac my piece when i was practcing at home just now! LOL!

That's really stupid -.-" but ohkay.. i was playing around with some etudes and scales... sooo i DID practice =\. Hungarian pieces are niiiiiiiiceeeee...so got the 'taste' i mean 味道. ok , don't ask me what 味道-.-" it's just. THERE. lol..

and as usual, it's 1am + + + , so im talking rubbish as usual. the brain doesn't work well so early. BUT THE STUPID THING IS!!!!... i think i play better at night than in the afternoon -.-". so if only i live on the other side of the globe or concerts are held like from 10 pm onwards.. then.. ahhh~ i will be at an advantage(though the probability of me faint from playing is rather high, not that i had that before.lol)

hmm mmm.. interesting day it is.. ahhh.it's cool to learn/discover new stuffs everyday. well, most of the time.

i feel like making a video soon once again... abit lazy ah.. then maybe i will bring videocam to school.. SAMUEL~~~ HAHAHA

ok that's totally random. BYE

long story short

2008-10-19T01:12:00.002+08:00

it's been ages since i updated. people would think i died or something if they don't have my msn. lol

The more you don't blog, you more you won't wanna blog. Why? lazy.

lol i actually wanted to put up a lame joke which i remembered but i forgot i wanted to say, 's been in my head a few days ago, and now i totally forgotten about it. tsk.

It's really weird, i think. Always having those stupid imaginations.. you know, will when on the escalator, look at the 'floor' i will always wonder, what if i fall and break my fingers and stuffs, what will happen? will i be unable to lift a finger again to play flute/piano? if that's the case, how? be crippled my whole life? teach maths as a handicap teacher in a pri school?-.- i have no idea why maths and primary school, but it just came into my bloody head.lol

School's been good, been slacking quite alot. bad. booo.oh well, but now there's a new super hero in school, so you're keen on knowing who is he? ask around =D.

Went to NUS band concert er.. on fri(since now's considered sunday already), met up with kokwey and the other seniors. been a long since i saw them other than occassionally having kokwey popping out from nowhere. He managed to borrow a yamaha 600 series flute from band!ok i ain't gonna type too clearly about that part cuz i aint sure if it's allowed. LOL. and ahhh! GLORIA! your hair long liao. GAHAHA. i think tie up better =\ the front part. lol

ok people, those who are bored/love anime ones.. go watch katekyo hitman reborn! very cute. hahaha, the main character's tsuna and reborn. reborn's a super power baby and he is adorable =D =D... i went crazy over the show. ok stop. i think now ppl know i'm a pedophilia. OMG. lolol. no i ain't ok, i just love to play with babies and watch babies. hehehehe.

ok i think i'm officially nuts. milk and medicine don't go very well i guess.. lol

It's coming in less than 4 days!!!YAY! MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
