Okay todays the day of the competition and we have to be downstairs by 8am and im still in bed at 7.40am..WTH.... dam late lah... had a quick shower then wore my shirts bought my blazers, instrument and etc.... went to lvl 1 and had some small quick bite of breakfast before leaving the bus to MusikVerein :), for the benefit of those without the knowledge of Musikverein, its also know as the golden hall, its one of the best hall in the world, with very nice acoustic installed in it.. thought is not really that big... i can only accomadate approx 1000 people or less, and the hall it self, is not called golden for nothing... its practically made of gold. during the travelling time... as usual camwhored alot, since im wearing a suit..i cam whored alot too lol.. got ready for the competition in the dressing room... i was quite nervous actually... while waiting for the band before us to perform, we were just slacking around there..until its our turn to go upstage and w00t!... went up the stage to play a chord, followed by Festive Overturen, followed by PecosPeuble, the acoustic of the hall was just so nice... it fel so heavenly... the seats that im sitting on, are the exact seats sat by the vienna phillharmonic orchestra, the air in that hall, was the same air that was breathe out byt the Vienna Phillharmonic Orhcestra... just nejoyed the 25mins on stage... its the best hall one can ever perform in.. well we played not bad.. not the best that we had played but yeah still good. so we went back to the bus and head back to the university of music again where we had workshop for us... an australian conductor, not austrian, went through the songs with us... hes quite good, but his gesture was so funny that we used it as an inside joke for our band lol. then there was a presentation of an instrument which look like a French horn, the guy presenting it was from the Vienna Phillharmonic, he played a few pieces with that instrument and it sounded beautiful, i went to cam whore abit more first b4 leaving back to the hotel to get change and went for the orchestra rehersal(tiring sia..) while those not involved get to go have free time :(.
Ok so i had my rehersal at some sports hall opposite the hotel, when the acoustic there was nice... the stuff in veinna, everything is so artistically good, no wonder it is the capital for the arts, they have graffiti all around the city, and those graffiti are really a work of art, its dam nice, its like the gangsters there must have at least a degree in some arts before they can become one o.o. So after the rehersal, i went back to my room to keep my instrument and stuff... met the rest of them at the lobby, and i heard some thing about "ZARA jacket 15euros" i went to to ask around and cheebyee, the jacket really 15euros only...dam cheap lah... the rest of those who did not need to attend the rehersal went to their town and shop, and im so dam jealous lah... anw, had dinner at some ate some shitty lousy dry food... though i ate quite alot.. but its still shitty food... i had some photos of those .. but haven upload yet :( . so after wards went back to hotel and slack around.. but went out with some of my band mates to explore vienna on our own during the night.. i forgot to bring my camera along with me to take those pictures :(.. but vienna is dam nice lah... sad case lor... anw explore explore explore finish liao went back hotel, now this time i went to some other person room drank some alcohol over there lol, some stuff happen over there but i dun wanna say it on my blog cause its dam wrong :( lol but after that i went to my room and sleep :)

6/7/08,Sunday,Vienna.
Okay todays the day of the competition and we have to be downstairs by 8am and im still in bed at 7.40am..WTH.... dam late lah... had a quick shower then wore my shirts bought my blazers, instrument and etc.... went to lvl 1 and had some small quick bite of breakfast before leaving the bus to MusikVerein :), for the benefit of those without the knowledge of Musikverein, its also know as the golden hall, its one of the best hall in the world, with very nice acoustic installed in it.. thought is not really that big... i can only accomadate approx 1000 people or less, and the hall it self, is not called golden for nothing... its practically made of gold. during the travelling time... as usual camwhored alot, since im wearing a suit..i cam whored alot too lol.. got ready for the competition in the dressing room... i was quite nervous actually... while waiting for the band before us to perform, we were just slacking around there..until its our turn to go upstage and w00t!... went up the stage to play a chord, followed by Festive Overturen, followed by PecosPeuble, the acoustic of the hall was just so nice... it fel so heavenly... the seats that im sitting on, are the exact seats sat by the vienna phillharmonic orchestra, the air in that hall, was the same air that was breathe out byt the Vienna Phillharmonic Orhcestra... just nejoyed the 25mins on stage... its the best hall one can ever perform in.. well we played not bad.. not the best that we had played but yeah still good. so we went back to the bus and head back to the university of music again where we had workshop for us... an australian conductor, not austrian, went through the songs with us... hes quite good, but his gesture was so funny that we used it as an inside joke for our band lol. then there was a presentation of an instrument which look like a French horn, the guy presenting it was from the Vienna Phillharmonic, he played a few pieces with that instrument and it sounded beautiful, i went to cam whore abit more first b4 leaving back to the hotel to get change and went for the orchestra rehersal(tiring sia..) while those not involved get to go have free time :(.
Ok so i had my rehersal at some sports hall opposite the hotel, when the acoustic there was nice... the stuff in veinna, everything is so artistically good, no wonder it is the capital for the arts, they have graffiti all around the city, and those graffiti are really a work of art, its dam nice, its like the gangsters there must have at least a degree in some arts before they can become one o.o. So after the rehersal, i went back to my room to keep my instrument and stuff... met the rest of them at the lobby, and i heard some thing about "ZARA jacket 15euros" i went to to ask around and cheebyee, the jacket really 15euros only...dam cheap lah... the rest of those who did not need to attend the rehersal went to their town and shop, and im so dam jealous lah... anw, had dinner at some ate some shitty lousy dry food... though i ate quite alot.. but its still shitty food... i had some photos of those .. but haven upload yet :( . so after wards went back to hotel and slack around.. but went out with some of my band mates to explore vienna on our own during the night.. i forgot to bring my camera along with me to take those pictures :(.. but vienna is dam nice lah... sad case lor... anw explore explore explore finish liao went back hotel, now this time i went to some other person room drank some alcohol over there lol, some stuff happen over there but i dun wanna say it on my blog cause its dam wrong :( lol but after that i went to my room and sleep :)
