Ard 11+am Elsie called to wake mi up, she's outside my house door...

cos today's the both of us are performing together again~!

with the Moulmein C.C. Wind Ensemble~....

to tink abt it...

the first time i join MWE was back in '95.... when i just entered poly....

so MWE n nyp is like the stage 2 of my band life.... (stage 1 of cos was in sec sch lah~!)
so a lot of my youth, my happiness and sadness.... was spent ard nyp n mwe.....

tonite.... elsie's first time performing with MWE....(elsie told mi b4.... the 1st time she ever been to a concert in her life.... happened to be MWE's, years ago..... when she was sec1 or 2 ard '98-'99.... (the years when i just enlisted into SAF Bands))... and tt concert, i'm still with MWE.... ^_^

I left MWE aft the jan'00 concert to join Mus'Art then Westwinds...... ironically.... now i'm kind of back with MWE..... i guess my bondings is still with MWE.... cos of my fond memories...... the only differences now is tt most of the members there now are new faces top me..... all my lao jiao kakis... all busy with their own working life now~ (only i so free~! ^_^).... the person i might missed the most is probably my dear friend who went to Our Father at such a young age.... He's none other then the late Benson.....

I can remember the days in MWE, when we spurs one another on.... out-playing the low parts.... cos he's a tuba player... while i'm a bass trombonist that time oledi~ even after i left mwe in 2000, he's one of the few who still contacted me..... i remembered he actually tried to made time for me, cheonging arcade at tampines, companying me when i was down....(down? aiyah... i got dumped by someone lah~! lol ^_^)....

With His mortal life spent, i prayed that he'll have his eternal peace by the side of Our Lord~!

and so.... after elsie came over to my place, she bought a McDonald's bagel for mi....

then i woke up n freshen up b4 eating....

she played a little of GB....

then ate some of my family's lunch before taking a cab to NYGH....

yup, MWE's concert is at NYGH auditorium.....

had the usual reh b4 concert....

then dinner time n change into concert attire....

was surprised to see quite a few central band people among the audience......

after the concert, took bus74 with elsie, peiling(B. Trb), zisheng(Bassoon) and Joseph(Euph).... all my nyp jrs in a way... hahahah...
we took the bus till AMK Central and had our supper at the mos burger....

after our meal, elsie n i left first..... she's staying over at my place tonite....

after taking our showers, * elsie played GB while i watched Taxi2 till ard 3am.... and slept~!
