29 January 2011
I woke up feeling pretty nervous, as I was going to play in the Viola Day afternoon concert at St Gregory Centre at 2pm. The two songs I played were both Dvorak's, and the second one was a bit difficult (imagine alternating 4 and 7 flats and slides from 1st position to 5/6/7th).
Anyway, I think I did an okay job for both songs (at least I didn't screw up too much and sound like a banshee). My hands were shaking slightly when I was playing the first song - nerves got the better of me, but I settled down fairly quickly. And the second song, Dvorak's Quintet in E flat major was just fantastic (thanks to all the other 4 players of course).
I managed to get some pictures with my dear friends too!
And then, Alicia, Daniel and I went to town and we took more pictures (on Facebook).
After that, I went to Dyana's house and had bihun soup (rice vermicelli soup) with Ruzel, Teha, Hans, Mira and Seha. It was soooooo delicious and sooooo Malaysian~ We then went to ASDA and bought some groceries in preparation for Chinese New Year.
My arms then tired themselves out making a batch of cookies. They're called Melting Moments, as they supposedly melt in your mouth XD It's just cornflakes, raisins, sugar, butter and flour though :D
I'm gonna bake batches and batches of them and pack them in decorated containers for my friends before Wednesday!
Ruzel, Dyana and the gang baked a chocolate cheese cake too!
And I'm almost 50% done digitally painting a chrysanthemum for a virtual CNY card for my family and friends.
I'm surprised that I could do so much and feel so satisfied and fulfilled in a day.
All together, it was a really productive day indeed, and it makes me cherish my dear friends and family more as without them, I wouldn't have been able to do all these!
