I just came back from the concert. In the end, only Rayner turned up. Byron decided not to go at 6:55pm. His reason? Because it will too awkward for him and will only make me even more angry at him. What a “lovely” reason. I don’t even want to talk to him at all now. Apparently, he does not know exactly why I am angry at him. He can’t even understand the reasons listed here. Neither did he apologised (mainly because he don’t know what to apologise for?). :sigh: I’m speechless. Anyway, this lost friendship that he is grateful about, as you can read it here. Oh well… At least Rayner came for the concert, although he left during intermission. :oops: I do apologise of not meeting him suddenly at the train station. :blank: Oh well… My sister, sister’s friend and I were almost lost. Yes, we were almost lost in Singapore when Singapore is already quite small. Fortunately, when we were feeling super lost, we saw the Singapore Conference Hall building. Thank God!!!

Prof Seah had an encore although no one shouted for an encore and guess what he played for the encore? He played Mendelssohn’s Wedding March and dedicated that piece to his wife. Awwww…. :lovestruck: This is so sweet!!! Now, that’s called romantic. Playing a classical piece on the school piano at night is not romantic. It’s creepy. How can that be romantic? I understand perfectly why the girl will reject that guy.

Imagine if your boyfriend play that piece on a concert and propose to you. Awww!!! :love: Such a romantic and unique proposal! :hk_love:

I like the symphony piece in the concert. The first half of the concert was okay. I love the concerto piece. The solo violinist was good! His right hand was extremely good. However, I felt that the symphony piece has more colours and more interesting to look at how the conductor, Prof Seah, conducted orchestra. He will point to the section playing the main parts of the symphony.

In my opinion, overtures in a concert are like appetisers. It gives the audience an outlook of what to expect of the concert and how the conductor conducts the orchestra. We can see how good the concert master/mistress of the orchestra is and the style of the conductor. However, it’s symphony piece that shows how good the orchestra and conductor is. After all, it’s the team effort that counts in an orchestra. No matter how good the musicians are, if they can’t work together and blend into emotions of the music, whatever the orchestra plays, it won’t be that nice.
