Ytd's syf closing ceremony was our last moment together as hcico 09, the gwh team. Hcipipaliuqin has given me so much, and im so grateful to each one of you for making it so enjoyable.
Here's a recap of what happened. The night before, i smsed liuqin what to bring and so on, only pingxi replied, at 12.05am, wished him happy bday. I couldnt sleep, i was thinking about the concert and how everything's going to end so soon. Went to school, yanliang, long peng and i, we were all so excited we couldnt concentrate in class, i was super impatient for lessons to end. My lessons ended at 2 plus, went to eat with my co classmates. I didnt care about revising for my tests the next day haha.
Went to co room, took out all the blazers i had kept in the cupboard the day before, to let liuqiners try them on. Erhu left earlier than us, for their rehearsal for the finale, at around 4.30. By 5pm, benedict and jiawen were still not here. Jiawen was supposed to be on mc, but he didnt want to miss the concert so he came haha. Benedict had gone to his fren's house to study for chinese test, i actually told him wrongly that we had to leave at 5 plus. We were supposed to leave at 6.30 so we had some time before dinner then set off for esplanade. Tanbo zi dong again went to our usual spot behind to practise together, and tangc was saying good things about tanbo haha. Dinner was next. Before that jiawen was having a little difficulty finding a suitable blazer. For dinner, most of the tanbo ppl were sitting in a circle, but tangc was kind of blocking the way haha so liuqin sat and ate together. After dinner, we practised again, kenneth and benedict were putting chalk on their knobs. Almost everyone went to toilet before boarding the bus. The bus journey wasnt as bad as rehearsal's, probly bcos we were used to not making any noise in the bus.
At esplanade, we had to sit in some loading area for quite long, very warm. Liuqin were practising our solo part again and again haha. Honestly, i was quite gandong, cos u could see that they were trying their best and how much they wanted to do it well. Reunited with xyz, cellobass and chuida ppl in the fourth floor waiting room, ran thru kentucky. Then went to first floor to wait along the corridor outside the backstage. Waited very long there, somemore got to wait for 20min interval. Px and ken were sitting on the floor haha. Wu ls gave us the programme booklets to view. We were all laughing at the description of our co and our syf photo. Then zhentao ran down the corridor, and the whole hcico, everybody lining up along the sides, were laughing, quite mean lar haha. Went in to backstage at around 9.20pm. Quite a few scary things happened there, px dropped some strings from ben's file, px's and ben's liuqin zouyin, and the most scary was we only had one spare liuqin yixian left, cant afford to break any strings. Lucky their liuqins were tiao'ed zhun in time. Waiting backstage was quite nervous. Ben was the first to enter for our row, beside cello, so he was holding his liuqin in a way that was quite nice, diff from the rest of us haha. Then we walked onto stage, heart attack. Our gada was definitely better than our kentucky. Altho it wasnt our best, it was better than our usual dazu. And for gada last part 1 55 part, i was super impressed with benedict, i could see his huanba and mine were totally coordinated, he played it so so well. I saw my parents, but i didnt realise ben's mum and my mum were sitting next to each other haha, they were talking to each other, and my mum told me they both thought liuqin only had two of us. Ben also managed to spot px's parents haha.
Walked off the stage, so relieved, everything's finally completed. Got back to salt centre, erhu stayed behind for finale. The rest of the co were released first. Tangc declared friday a break. And yijing officially handed the co to the next comm. Our job has been done, it's now on to you guys. Took some photos together as hcico tanbo 09 at our favourite spot at the back of co room, where we had extra fenzus, pracs before syf and concert, where we always put our bags, and our storage cupboards, and with the spoilt liuqin's cupboard door haha. It was a memorable spot for us. The photos are below.
To pipaliuqin, thank you for being such great friends. To my fellow liuqin juniors, i am super proud of you guys, you all have been superb juniors. You all have grown up, i still rmb u all last time quite slack and bochap about co one. Chiuyin, take good care of them. May you all always stay together!
