taiwan birthday!
07-31-08heee~ my second ever bday overseas. happy happy.
taiwan’s a pretty nice place. but i really need to know chinese to survive here. =((( i guess i’ll pick it up when (if) i stay here long enough.
the architecture’s really japanese. but the people remind me a lot of those from the hdb estates in singapore. never knew there were so many chinese people in the world. we’re in tainan, which is south of taiwan. so it’s pretty laidback, not like taipei city i think.
anw today’s concert didn’t go very well for me. my embouchure is just plain screwed up. i’ve been trying to change it for two weeks now. and it seems to be working (half-working actually - i’m in the midst of the change). i didn’t practise on mon and tues and today (wed) i just couldn’t use both the new and the old one. so basically my holding notes sounds like a beginner’s. i hate to use this an excuse as it makes me sound weak, but i think that that’s the case. so i shall have to live with it for now, despite also being in the midst of concerts. arrrgghhhh
damn. it.
but T says i should just stick with the new one and keep to it. hope tmr will be a better day. *crosses fingers* i should sleep soon. tmr’s a long day and i haven’t packed yet.
ohhh and my reeds kinda suck. the good one back in singapore is SUPER DUPER reedy blasty now. i don’t know why… and i hope it will change back when i get back =((((( i don’t know if it’s the humidity, the altitude or just cos i’ve not practised for two days that causes the reed to be like that. so now i’m using an old and very hard reed, which makes my lips tire easily. then again the tiring of my lips could be cos of the changing of embouchure. but again these could be excuses and i’m a person who hate excuses.
argh.
happy birthday to me once again. hope tmr’s concert will be better.
I’m impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and information was very easy to access.
