My 2014 Christmas Holiday Moment

It was a cloudy and wet Monday morning on the 29th of December 2014. I was in the city of Merlion waiting for the theatre gate to be opened. Breakfasts were served during the waiting time. I only had some of them as my heart beat starts to rushed up. The theatre gate was finally opened and I was able to went in for some sound checking, rehearsal, and piano trials. I was waiting for the stage crew to prepare the stage while I read my music piece just to remind me the fingerings, notes, and music dynamics. When the stage and piano were ready, I went to the stage to have some piano trials. I realised that the piano felt really great. The tuts pressure was great and the sound was awesome.

I had a little intermission between the piano trial. I sat down on the audience seat and I saw the brand of the Piano that I use for the trial before and for the performance. I realised that the it's Steinway and Sons. No wonder the sound and tuts pressure were amazing. Not so long after that, the Orchestra came. They begin the strings trial to make sure they used the right tightness for their strings instrument. After all of that rehearsal, I was able to eat my lunch outside the theatre. After that, I went back to my hotel to have some rest before the concert.

The time had came. I washed my body and wear my suite and tie. I rushed to the Esplanade theatre as I didn't want to be late to attend the last briefing before the concert. Briefing was done and It's time for me to get ready for the concert. My hand started to sweat and my heart beat starts to rushed up again. At this point, I was just thinking of all of the practices I had did for this concert and hope for the best. I saw audiences started to enter the theatre. My heart beat was beating as fast as a cheetah could ran and my hand was sweating like I just washed my hand. After every music piece that I had played, it gave me at least chance to be a little bit more relaxed to prepare the next music piece. After 2 and a halve hour of intensity, the concert was done and all of the performers including me felt so relieved. All of the performers chat and laughed together just like an employee who just got an extra $1000000 cash.

So that's a part of my holiday moments. Happy New Year 2015!!!
