Welcome 2010!

Spent the last day of 2009 dancing with my fellow Crewplayers' Players at World Trade Center. We spent over a month to rehearse for this count down show and I was loving every moment of it! At first, I was super worried that I couldn't keep up with everyone, couldn't remember the steps when the music plays. I had to book a studio to practice with my spare time to make sure that I won't bring the team down. I have gained so much from this experience. Thank you DY for signing me up!

CPJT & CPT dancers:



On stage :D video is posted on facebook links. Don't have the original clips though.




CP family picture! Go Crew Players!!!




Looking back at my 2009 resolution, I think I have achieved most of them:
- learn thai boxing (checked! well, kinda... i took a couple lessons & couldn't fit into my busy schedule ;P)
- Have fun with my dodgeball team DLS! (CHECKED!)
- Cello exam in Apr/May (Checked!)
- Dance more (Checked!)
- Eat healthy (Checked with occational MackaDs & KFC... oops!)
- Spend more time with family & friends (not so much with family but with friends... )


For 2010, my resolution is... hum... I'm actually feeling quite content at the moment. Every single 2009 resolution is still on the list: dance, dodgeball, cello... yet I'm not brave enough to say I should drink less :p There's a goal though,

I want to move out!

Not sure if it's possible. Moving out is not that simple for me. Wish me luck!

2009

好多人都話2009過得好快, 我都覺得係. 究竟我2009做過d乜呢?

去左十次旅行
3轉上海, 北京+北海道 各2次, 台灣, 曼谷, 沙巴... 原來無離開過亞太區. 最好玩係夏天ge北海道. 最激係喺沙巴踩海膽. 最離譜係喺上海工幹但係玩到成個袋唔見左! 最有教育意義係北京文化自由行. 無論工幹好, 自己去玩又好, 2009 都玩得好開心.

考左cello 5級
無distinction, 考到個merit都好滿足! 其實可以再好d, 2010繼續努力呀!

打左兩季dodgeball
雖然個人仲係打得好差, 但係recruit左幾個勁人入DLS! team spirit好! 好enjoy打team sport, 唔講唔覺今次係我人生第一次玩team sport呀! 希望長打長有, 我地下季想囉牌!

做左n次姊妹
每次都嗌到失聲, 玩得盡慶! 能夠做你姊妹的確係我ge榮幸. 祝你們都相親相愛, 生活愉快!

去左300次Antique
唔知點解鐘意去Anitique玩多過去老蘭. 人地唔知會以為我係full time員工添呀! 希望下年少d夜蒲, 多d訓覺.

Dance Dance Dance
認真地需要進修舞技, 唔可以再hea跳. 上左CP Junior Training之後更加覺得自己需要多d時間苦練下... 年尾個count down show會係我一大挑戰. 同其他同學仔練舞先發覺自己跳得有幾差. 雖然只得分令鐘, 但係我希望唔好甩, 將獅子座ge表現慾盡情發揮!

Mission Accomplished

Thank you my midnight cheerleaders for dropping by to boost up my confidence! I never would have thought that you can dance hip hop to my 3 pieces. LOL! I just realized that you can't stay alone the night before a big thing. You DO need accompany and comfort. Watching Sam acting as a crazy conductor in front of my music stand, and solving a sudoku puzzle with DY was pleasantly comforting. You girls can drop by anytime in your PJs and glasses!

So I woke up happy this morning. Had breakfast, then had one last round of practice before I put on my all black witch-like performer outfit. Luckily got a cab under the rain. Arrived the exam location and registered early.

"Michelle, you're next!"

"oh... but my pianist is not here yet!"

Moments later, my pianist aka my BFF stepped in the door. heh... Thanks for being here so early after a fun night out :D

Then it's my turn. To my surprise, I wasn't nervous at all. As I wished, it was a male examiner from UK. Looked a bit like my high school orchestra teacher with the same size of belly. We started with scales: E flat major, D minor, G minor, B flat major, C major. B flat major appegio, F major appegio, C minor appegio, Dominant 7th key of G, Dimished 7th starting on D, Chromatics staring on D... etc. I played one by one, not perfect but I played them all. phew. Then BFF walked in and did the 3 pieces with me. Again, not perfect, but I didn't go brain dead in the middle of it. Then sight reading was BAD. I hate A major! Oral was okay, questions were not that difficult, but still made some mistakes. Before I knew it, IT WAS OVER! Finally done with cello exam! It wasn't great but I think I definitely passed :) I will find out the result in 7 weeks.

Now that there's no more dodgeball games, no more cello lessons until Lesley comes back from the UK, for once I have zero goal. ZERO!

快樂是...

快樂是... 今天不用上班。


快樂是... 自然醒來。不用狂按snooze三至十三次才起床，再煩着要穿什甚、襯哪雙鞋、然後發覺忘了warm up化妝間內的 hair straightener...


快樂是... 和Mallow午睡。



快樂是... 一整天在家狂練琴。因為明天就要考試，好緊張好緊張！不想歷史重現。害怕失望。


快樂是... 期待Mallow沖涼吹頭剪髮修甲後的香味。


快樂是... 明天後天大後天也沒有安排活動。很久也沒見過那麼空洞的schedule！會感覺空虛嗎？


快樂是... 在fb status收到juju的問候 :) 知道你去旅行曬得一身健康膚色，很美！


快樂是... 和BFF每天見面。到北京記得穿少一點 ;-)


快樂是... 和PIC msn，有些問題只有她懂！


快樂是... 和他一起看巾幗梟雄。


快樂是... 終於上到網。終於又寫得出無聊事亦不介意沒人看。


快樂是... 好像懂得放開了。

< Humoresque >

練呀練、練呀練、練呀練‧‧‧

由一把位練到七把位，再由七把位轉返去四把位‧‧‧

呢首幽默曲的確好幽默！究竟要練幾耐先會練得幽默而唔搞笑呢？

Found My Chill Pill =)

Ah Charn was sold and I bought a new cello a few weeks ago! The end of one relationship means the start of another one. heh... new cello is MUCH BETTER!! hahaa... so loud and ambitious just like its owner!! wahahaa... When I bought it home, I didn't know if I should name it or not. I was just gonna call it "my cello". Then one day as I was riding the minibus to work, the name stroke me! It came to me out of no where. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you my Chill Pill! =)
It's exactly what it is!!!!

Practise makes perfect! hehe... practising at Lesley's.


The 4 of us will go very far! Taking lessons together for the next 3-4 years to come =)
Lesley's cello doesn't have a name. Since it's so shinny, let me just call it Ling Lap Lap!
We'll be taking grade 5 exam in April 2009!! Lo Lik ar~~

亞燦的故事

噚晚上咗第一堂啦! 數數手指, 原來我8年無拉過大提琴啦!! 今次學返真係要多謝Lesley。 唔係佢lau我一齊學嘅話, 我個cello都唔知會喺屋企ou都幾時。可能ou到生蟲都無人知. Lesley 同我講, 我地嘅相遇係命中注定架~ 大家都係學到grade3就無學。 而家咁大個人先至學返, 如果無個伴我諗我會唔好意思自己走去學lor。努力呀! 我地一定可以學到grade5,6,7,8 架~



以前拉school orchestra嘅同學仔都會幫自己件樂器改名. 我都幫我個cello改咗個好貼切嘅名。各位觀眾，佢叫亞燦！佢喺中國出世，喺命運安排之下被人賣咗嚟香港。亞燦有一般土產嘅特色，就係有啲貨不對版。明明話自己係個size 4/4嘅大提琴，但係就比真正full size嘅大堤琴瘦少少, 一定係佢貪靚學人減肥啦！十三年前被我老竇以超低價二千幾蚊買咗返屋企, 我用咗三年唔夠就被我遺棄。亞燦一直留喺香港嘅雜物房，過咗十年不見天日嘅日子。我就喺美國另覓新歡。佢有佢嘅生活, 我有我嘅忙碌。直至噚晚，亞燦終於有機會做返一個會出聲嘅大提琴啦。以前教我個missy話過，你個琴就好比你男朋友, 你要珍惜佢，同佢經歷風雨，一齊成長。噚晚重遇亞燦，就好似返兜十年無見嘅舊男友一樣, 感覺唔陌生，但係大家都變咗啦, 亞燦把聲好吵，四條弦太舊吧！支弓變黃，甩頭甩骨，已經唔用得啦。換咗新弓，亞燦好似好少少。就係咁，我嘅回歸第一課又同亞燦一齊度過喇。


雖然同亞燦有些少感情。但係今次重遇，我更確切知道佢並非終身對象嘅才料。而家決定要繼續考五至八級，我更應該揾個新partner陪我奮鬥。所以我決定要買個新琴! 原來一個好嘅琴都唔平架... 不過既然決定要學, 不如破釜沈舟, 俾自己多一個堅持嘅理由。如果唔學就會"徙"咗個好琴啦... 亞燦，我希望你明白，亦希望你原諒我再次同你分手。
