GENUS Concert 09

6th June 09, was a very fun and interesting day.

Met up wif AJ, fellow guitar member and embark on our quest to peninsula plaza to buy guitar-related items. And how interesting it is to actually realised that a bottle of Dunlop's String Cleaner and Conditioner 65 actually cost wayyyy much cheaper than Yamaha selling it. The shop we went to, Music Theme sold it at $6.50 whereas Yamaha Plaza Singapura sold it at $11+? U see, thats how big a difference it is, and btw, music theme's strings and cleaners are the cheapest in the whole of peninsula, so yeah, abit of advertising here on my part.

So i brought my Daddario strings EJ45 like $9, and thats very cheap. A check on Ernie Ball Slinkly's for accoustic are also quite cheap, like $22?

Okay, back to topic.

This was my first time going to a guitar concert, and ofcourse, it was great! Never knew that GENUS performed that well, and how ironic that i didn't even know of GENUS if it wasn't for the fact that i joined YJ's Guitar Ensemble. And this year, there's some Ensemble from germany named JUGENDMUSIKSCHULE PFORZHEIM GUITAR-ENSEMBLE.

Dun bother mouthing it yeah.

Basically, the whole ensemble played some really nice music that i didn't know of. So much goes to my musical knowledge. Even better was when like 2 members of GENUS are able to arrange some pieces. WAH!!! So talented, arranging orchestra level pieces. And some of them are able to play different instruments too, like flute, percussion instruments and the likes.

I wonder if the rest of the ensemble is the same.....

After the entire concert ends, which is like 2 hours and 30 minutes later at 10.30pm. Melvin, Zhen Xiang, Manna, AJ and me went for late night supper at clementi's macdonalds. Really lucky that Aj kinda reminded me that the last train is going to come in 5 mins time, so we fast walk to the station and exactly 2 mins later, the LAST TRAIN ARRIVED!

My, this is the second time i'm taking the last train home. U can see all the tired faces in the train, and the near empty stations especially when the train is making its passing around the city area. Never noticed such things before, the 'calmness' of a station that u couldn't normally see because its always so crowded...

Arrived at bedok round 12.30am+ and went to buy supper for parents at mac. 2 double cheeseburger + MacChicken EVM. Walk home after that cuz there ain't any more bus in service. Even the walk back home seems relaxing, empty walkways, quiet void decks. An excellent change in environment from the ones i was always used to seeing, very much like the concert i attended. Different music, lots of people. Okay LOL


P.S ACCORDING to my frens, i was noisy in the concert. Just because i felt it was worth shouting for the good music they played, so i kinda went at the top of my voice cheering them on. And i even shouted: "WOOH! MR ALEX!!!" hahaahahaahhaahhaha, crazy fun that i lacked so much in life....
