99% Preparation...

They say its all 99% preparation and 1% moment. Perphaps i wasn't prepared enough. (or over prepared?) Sometimes think too much and in the end got it all wrong. Well, it happens elsewhere too.. but then, some people are just able to.. why not me?

After yesterday's practice, was quite demoralised by the screwed up solo.. Wasn't that i wasn't able to, but sometimes when it comes, it didn't come. I guess it was over prepared for "over the rainbow". Too much weightage on certain things le.. especially when the whole orchestra wasn't playing.. lol.. very stress de lor. Wanted very much to hand the solo over.. but nobody there to take.. what can i do? But then.. like this also not a long term solution wor. Sigh leh. Run also cannot, fight also don't know can or not.. lol.. think is play dota meh? Just quit game can le meh?

Disappointed with myself over "over the rainbow", but then was glad to hear some guidance, and some words of encouragement from the instructors.. hahaa.. 1st time hear praises wor.. hahaa..

Nice was the orchestra for the day. We had a lot of strings and of coz, our tuba is back.. very nice to have a base for support.. for once i didn't feel that the middle section is the support.. and for once it wasn't empty. But then.. pian pian i had to screw the solo up.. wahhaa.. felt so bad to waste all of their time lor.. my bad =(

Was actually much anticipating nutcracker to boost morale.. but then no time.. ahaha.. pract ended later, and went JP mac for late dinner. End up reaching home after 12am.

Let me see if i can achieve anything within this week.. if really can't.. haha.. maybe i can try harder to look for a replacement horn player le.. lol.
