WHEEE!! guess who's back?

it's MUA!!

who missed me? i know you did..
ok actually no one HAH.

anyway.. phew it's like finally over!! omg it was as bad as i thought it would be. actually.. ok lah, to me, as long as in any event, as long as there were some good memories, and if it ended with me in a good mood, its good. so.. luckily there's my cute and funny juniors on this trip with me!! so if not for them, this trip would have really been a nightmare.

so to sum this trip all up (its not worth going through each day like i did for level camp), this whole trip consisted of some main things, concert, 'sightseeing'/shopping.

sightseeing
what sightseeing? seriously. ok, most of it were like cancelled cos we were behind schedule, and cos the teachers worried for our health. we only had proper sightseeing on the second last day there where we went to the sunzhongshan ling yuan or something, where his tomb was and they built this great place with 392 steps for him and his tomb, and the nanjing massacre memorial. the nanjing massacre place is really, unforgettable.. damn scary and sad. sunzhongshan's tomb was just tiring HAHA, but nevertheless, i enjoyed that day more than any other day.

in hongkong we like just toured the city but not exactly seeing, learning or experiencing anything. for zhuhai, we reached there late, so everything was cancelled, we only went to the statue at qinglu road, took photos, saw and laughed at how everyone's hair stood up which up till now i still dont know why!!

for the rest of the days other than concerts, everything else was changed to shopping. haha i didnt really shop, just wasted money. i bought a toy model of my favourite volkswagen car! a pair of nike shoes, some monkey toy, another monkey toy, a monkey soft toy keychain which me, ZHANGYANG and xinmin has ((:, 2 pairs of socks, a shirt, a set of olympics fuwa keychain, langlang's autobiography in chinese, a book on cello, a piano score book WHICH I BOUGHT WRONGLY!!! (i'm damn angry lah), and i think thats all.

concerts
omg i have to admit the hongkong and nanjing concerts were one of the best i've performed in. the best was of course esplanade last year HAHA.

the concert at hongkong was a charity concert for the sichuan erathquake victims. we played 2 songs. see, we played for a good cause.. i feel so proud of myself that i contributed haha. anyway, hongkong cultural center was damn cool, the audience seating was much smaller than esplanade's, but same concept, they're all around you. then yin xiang there is superb! when daniel was blowing his xibei solo, omg, the sound just travels all around, sounding throughout the whole concert hall like surround sound system, damn cool. they said xibei and huamulan was very good, and the professional performers there were amazed and couldnt believe we were but students.

zhuhai's was not bad too, but pales in comparison to the hk and nanjing ones. omg our qizou was rubbish. it was so quite bad that after the item, tl really ran away and hid. nobody could find her. she didnt come out until 3 songs later. LOL.

nanjing's concert. OMG OF ALL 10 DAYS, I HAD TO CHOOSE THAT DAY TO FALL ILL. that fine morning, i woke up and found my whole body aching. i knew i had a fever, i recognised that kind of aching feeling you have during a fever. but i thought, hmm maybe not lah. but RARR that breakfast i couldnt bring myself to eat, my mouth could only open so wide for a few strands of noodles to enter. on the bus off for zoutai, i told guanyang, what if i was sick? he didnt take it seriously -.- lol. but anyway, i still went up for dazu first, and tupipa. that time, i was wearing my jacket all the time, even as the spotlight was shining, and you know how hot is it when the spotlight shines. i looked over and saw sieweng sweaing like mad, then i was thinking, wth, why am i not sweating?! cos i knew once i sweat, sure cure already one. BLEARGH. not a drip.

after tupipa i really couldnt take it anymore and went backstage to sit. until tl discovered me and started panicking and ordering around.
“张扬，你的药呢？！”
“水，谁有水？”
“病了为什么没早点说？！”
sian. after that i never went up for zoutai, until phototaking. backstage i heard ttk ask, 那个cello呢？haha. after he knew i was sick and i went onstage, he started to tease me in front of everyone -.-
“哇，我刚刚还跟老师们说你这个小不点是最坚强的。现在连你也倒了。'laokui'!”

-.- rarr. haha anyway it was good he said that. wearing a thick woolly jacket in front of a spotlight couldnt make me sweat, covering myself up with 3 blazers couldnt make me sweat, but just one remark from ttk like that made me sweat like hell. LOL.

anyway, that night, i was better, think cos of all the excitement haha. backstage, it then hit me that omg, this was going to be my last performance as junior high. ahhh!! qizou that night was ok, better than zhuhai's at least. tl only disappeared for 1 song this time HAHA. everything else was great. the best was the encore!! we had 2 encores, one obviously junma, but cos we only prepared one encore song, and the audience wanted another, we gave them...

CHUIDA's LONG TENG! since they loved it best.

so when they screamed encore again, chuida stood up, took off their blazers and got ready to play. the audience screamed even more. whoa then damn cool, they just played from their places in dazu, haha. that has got to be one of the best encores lah, damn cool can, they just stood up to play. they seriously loved longteng. when they were playing it earlier, during the gu duan, even when they havent finished, they were already clapping cos they liked it so much. at zhuhai's people even cheered for them and screamed encore, FOR CHUIDA. haha.

the next day, my fever was gone -.- but it gave me a cough instead, which has now worsened and am coughing till i think i can wake the whole house up LOL.

other than concerts and shopping, overall, omg i think this trip has a theme. its like QINGLU or something. seriously, this trip was like a honeymoon for the couples. sc and ac, gy and yy, wc and tp, kw and sg, bq and eu, mr and mrs lee, and mdm ilyana even brought her husband along this time -.-. there was this one night where all the couples except one sat next to each other during dinner, they're all not even from the same dui! another day, it was like qing lu zhuang day or something, not for them lah, but everywhere i went, i see people on the streets wearing qingluzhuang! ok mr and mrs lee and gy and yy were wearing too lah. then during shopping that same day (xinmin me and ZHANGYANG shopped together), we walked into a shop which sells all qingluzhuang! in zhuhai we even toured at 情侣路 can. seriously, they could be so open about it during that trip.

anyway, thats about all i guess. oh no, i almost left out the most important thing. I'M A JINX! seriously, i'm a total jinx to all the cellos that i used. guess who's cello spoilt again. MINE! guess who's was the worst case again, MINE! crying leh.

first flight, upon getting back our cellos at the hk airport, i find that my one of the wheels on my cello case is missing! out of the rest, 3 others just had cracks and mine was the only one totally gone. went to the aviation service place to report and try to claim, only mine couldnt be claimed cos i stupid signed that baggage tag cos the woman at T3 counter asked only ME to sign it! that time, cello was fine inside.

going from hk to zhuhai, at the customs, cos i had to juggle my cello and wenyi's luggage, and had to chuck my handcarry, luggage and cello into the xray machine thingy, i fumbled and let my cello fall front first. it was a loud crash, but cos alot of people, i just picked it up, chucked it in, took it out and left. outside where we assembled, then i saw the crack on the case. at that time, i remembered tl said, if cello case ok, inside sure ok. BUT now cello case not ok, i knew inside sure die already. T.T that whole afternoon we spent like 2 hours at immigration cos we were stuck with our cellos and luggage in the rain with no bus. after a while when cargo cleared customs, they joined us in the rain too. we were like dunno how many hours behind time and our lunch was cancelled that day.

that night when we reached the hotel, the first thing i did, i unlocked the cello case and asked wenyi help me lift up the case to see if my cello had anything wrong at the fingerboard there, since the crack on the case was at that area. looks like we checked the wrong part, cos when she told me it was fine, i turned around, saw the f-hole and saw something long and yellow run down half my cello. no it was not a banana or anything sick -.- it was a CRACK. RARR. i'm like damn sick of it already, so this time i cried much shorter and lesser as compared to last year. i was even laughing at how i'm such a jinx can hahaha. and wangls was laughing at me -.-

ok yay, the photos finish transferring to daniel already. took damn long cos its like 258MB. and i think daniel fell asleep -.- he's not replied for one hour LOL. goodnight and hope you're not sleeping by the computer or anything haha.

bah shall post photos of the trip another day. seriously, if not for the people who went, i'd die during this trip haha. I LOVE DYB AND LANDUI! for now, this sick person needs to continue her langlang book and sleep.

goodnight (:
