wind ensemble concert

The last wind ensemble concert that I really enjoyed was the Christmas concert performed by PJ Youth Symphonic Band, in 2008. The songs were really good, and among the players are music majors, talented youths and full time musicians.

The first concert that I might be going to watch this year is performed by Sekolah Dato Abdul Razak, Negeri Sembilan.

Date: February 27th, Saturday
Time: 2.30 pm
Venue: RTM Broadcasting Complex, Negeri Sembilan

Since five years back, this all boys school orchestra slowly started to emerge as a winning band.

The most memorable performance that I enjoyed was when they played the song Starflash by Otto M Schwartz.

This year, their concert performance aim is to display their showmanship as well as to raise fund for the team. In this coming concert, one of the pieces that they are going to play is El Camino Real. It is a wonderful Spanish style music composed by Alfred Reed.

How good is this piece? Below is the recording of the song played by Osaka Korean Brass.

Come and watch this nice performance, if you’re available!

updates

Having my online blog updated regularly, people can get to know what’s going on with my life, even if there is the least chance to meet each other that often. Well, as long as you visit my page, of course.

Firstly, I’ve got my phone number restored, thank goodness.

Okay, am not going to lie here, this is the real story.

After me and my two housemates looking all over the place inside the house, we couldn’t find my handphone. The kitchen, my wardrobe, underneath the couch, in between the cushions, inside my bag. So I declared that my phone was stolen when we detected it through Maxis that “the phone location is in Bandar Utama Jalan 2/3” which is a drive away from my house.

The next morning, as I about to place my bike helmet on my head, there it is, my phone, lying in my helmet. Strange, my helmet was always in the house and not in Bandar Utama. I think the Maxis friend finder service is not really that accurate.

Now that my phone is not a worry anymore, I have other worries.

Worry number one, how to generate more income after working hours.
Worry number two, how to decide on the next housemate since both my housemates are leaving.

And of course, I am living my life with a stand on these four aims:

Possibility of a comfortable, beautiful apartment that I am living in.

Possibility of excellent health, being stunningly fit and hot.

Possibility of a huge incremental shift in wealth starting from 2010.

Possibility of a world class trumpet player (which I have to give it a break first; I have a huge ulcer and it’s not healing even after two weeks)

Definitely there are barriers inside these aims.
For example, I only have grade five, I do not have a huge capital to generate money, I am living within the budget of my salary, and the list goes on.

We shouldn’t limit ourselves with excuses. Anything is possible.

what i lost and what i found

At the risk of making myself sound like a blonde girl again, I have to say that I had fun this weekend. When I put away all the thoughts of finding evidence (eg: see? I told you they don’t like me) of the negative, I became laid back, and I got that if I want to be appreciated again, I should at least chill down and let it be.

However, on another story, yesterday I discovered that my phone was stolen.

I realized that it was missing. Tried to call a few times- no answer.
Send text messages, no answer.
Used the friendfinder sms feature, we discovered that it is in Bandar Utama, a drive away from where I live.
And the fact that we got that result, it means that somebody did press OK to "approve the friend finder request".

It was taken out from my bag; the same incident to my previous lost wallet. I am disappointed because it means that I am not careful, and I am also sad because at this moment I do not afford to get a new one. And I am disappointed because maybe it is true that I am so hopeless and tend to lose each valuable that I’ve got.

Simply said, today I should be in mourning mood or cry or throw a tantrum or just act very, very, very sad.

Life happens. I think I choose what works; stop thinking about it and work my life out.
My father lose his handphone(s) all the time (not that I want that), but that doesn’t stop him from being successful.

I’ll just be careful next time.
