The One And Only Koh Cheng Jin.

HELLO i am Koh Cheng Jin. I am currently turning 15 this year. I am a girl, from SOTA's MUSIC FACULTY :D and SNYO's V2/V1.I love God and Life, and friends are very important to me. I love Beethoven and Plum blossom too. Plum blossom thrives in winter, and I admire their endurance, like those of Beethoven's. :)

Current favourite composers:

Mozart: Music that allows my soul to wander around, (joyful music) always never fail to put make me happy, (dark music) never fail to make me ponder about Mozart's other character which is not commonly seen.
Beethoven: Music that allows me to know him better, and to see how music is the best form of expression that should be hold in high reverence.
Tchaikovsky: Music that allows me to realise that...life= music, and romantic music are not always mushy like korean dramas' music. It can be dark too.
Bach: Music that (similar to Mozart) allows me to experience a roller-coaster ride and being in a forest with polyphonic animal/nature sounds.

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~Author Unknown

LONG TIME NO BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-to be continued.

OKAY.
I NEED TO REFRESH THE STUFF GOING ON IN MAH HEAD.><

On TUE, some Thailand visitors from the B????????? Institute came and taught us to play the Kull Piang-Or, the traditional thai flute., during IA.:) It's blown VERTICALLY and it's kind of similar to the recorder. Then we learnt how to play Loy Kratong, a short song that describes the festival in thailand when people put candles on water and let them flow away to the ocean with no boundaries, while they make their wishes. ^^ i really hope singapore has this kind of festival too...:) it's be so nice in the darkness.

On WED, during CCE, we watched some performances by the thai people. It includes Thai Boxing(Muay Chaiyi? or sth).., Thai Classical Music, Thai Dance....SO NICE. And the last dance when they invited audiences to dance with them around with a circle, with the Loy Kratong song. :D awesome. During the thai classical music perf, the artist(s) (something songmuldee or something mongoldee i dk lah..o.o) PAINTED and it's SO BEAUTIFUL!! I LIKE BOTH PAINTINGS. One is about NATURE, the other is about two lovers...So talented..i bet i cant even paint something like that. sigh. muahah. Hmm now i wish to go to Thailand for the immersion trip next yr! AHYA i wanna go chicago, thailand and everywhere! LOL.

On THURS(which is yesterday), miss yang didn't manage to accompany me as we have to rush for the YO YO MA- AND THE SILK ROAD ENSEMBLE thing. YAYHEHE.
We went to the esplanade concert hall(wooots where snyo performed!^^) to watch their reh, aka workshop. OMGOONDESS, ALL OF THE MUSICIANS THERE ARE PROFRESSIONALS!!!!!!!!! not to mention YO YO MA himself. He can INTERACT very well with fellow musicians while making music, and he's full of confidence in his playing, which is a good but rare thing seen in musicians!!! all his notes are in tune...and that principal cellist beside him.
They also played SHI MIAN MAI FU, a well-known pipa SOLO virtuosic piece. It was arranged for erm quite a number of string players, a guitarist, a sheng, double basses and cello and pipa and erm i cant remember. oh oh oh and cymbals and drums and the tick-tock thingy. AWESOME! gave me a feeling of WAR and battle.
ONE THING I NEED TO MENTION. THE SHENG IS REALLY POWERFUL. I HAVE NEVER HEARD A SHENG BEFORE, SRSLY!! AND IT'S MADE UP OF 21 BAMBOOS OF DIFF PITCHES...THAT GUY WAS REALLY GOOD! (not to mention his VOICE AND SINGING too!) SHENG FULL OF FORCE SIA~~~
EVEN THE CONCERT MASTER ALEXANDRE IS THERE! AHHH AND MR CHAN YOONG HAN! =D AND MORE PRO PEOPLE! I CERTAINLY GOT MY HORIZONS WIDENED BY THE INSTRUMENTS AND THE PLAYERS THEMSELVES!!
THAT ENSEMBLE IS THE BEST ENSEMBLE I HAVE EVER WATCHED!!!!!!!!THE FIRST ENSEMBLE I WATCHED THAT CAN INTERACT WELL WITH EACH OTHER. PURE AWESOMENESS. I WISH IT WAS LONGER!!!!!!! GAAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA

P.S my dad went to Paris, and i miss him. I'm grateful to him for blocking fb and blogger and twitter at home, and it certainly helped me alot by letting me concentrating on my studies. Thankyou dad and i have realised the goodness of doing that to me. Thanks and have a pleasant trip there. :)

BYEBYE FACEBOOK BYE BLOG! continue to die, blog! ^^ XD

YESTERDAY, 29 APRIL IS A DAY TO BE REMEMBERED. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I CAN SEE YO YO MA AGAIN. LIVE.
