~Musical- The performance was this week on thursday, friday and saturday (4th, 5th, 6th) and we had a full day rehearsal on both monday and wednesday. Initially, Mr. Moss the director was really angry and upset because he felt that the actors weren't doing their part, but by Wednesday he was feeling better about things. Ms. Leong said that we were okay though, so what he was saying didn't really apply to us. I was wondering if its just a drama thing, where they always say its the worst performance ever so that you'll do better, like a kind of derogatory motivation. The performances themselves were received really really well, and it felt extremely satisfactory to perform. THe cast party at the end was very touching and everyone was a bit teary (not to mention the good food). It's been a really long process of putting the play together, but it was worth it. I think all of us bonded as a result of the pantomine- as in not just the musicians, but everyone involved.
~Old Folks home- as mentioned, we couldn't make it becuase of musical practise. I think Cheryl or Lidia called Ms. Tang.
~Tutoring- All sessions are postphoned until the holidays.
~Reading buddies- I was the only one to go this week (without Rebecca and Shaeny) and i was read with 3 kids. I'm quite surprised at how almost none of them have any reservations reading to a semi-stranger, except maybe one or two of them. i find that i enjoy reading with Jan Marco the most, because even though he doesn't really read very fluently, he shows an intelligent response to the book and good understanding, which is very encouraging.
~Mentoring- I couldn't meet up on Friday because of the pantomine so we've postphoned it to next week.
~Theory- Again no class. Wilson was performing at the jazz fest this week.
~Piano- This was the week before the piano concert and so i really really practised and Saori agreed that i should do all four pieces for the concert. The concert was on a Sunday and it was quite nerve-wrecking, but i'm glad i did it. Surprisingly i got the excellent performance award and also the audience's favourite award. I was rather shocked, but it was pleasant to achieve that.
~Solfege- I couldn't go this week because of the matinee of the pantomine
