I had lunch with Eric before I took a train to KLCC. I brought my trombone along because I promised Miane Sng to join him for practice. Again I lost my way to DFP! - Alright I admit it's my kind of sickness, losing sense of direction. Luckily I met a girl, she was just there looking at me, so I turned around and asked for her help. She got a bit excited and so she started to ask a lot of questions about me. "You're pure Chinese or mixed?", "You're a music student?", "Where do you study?", "Can I have you phone number?", "Do you have Facebook?", "You're so special! How old are you?" ...
I was just too busy answering her questions until I met Miane, finding for me.
Miane gave Sheng's name tag to me. I followed him to the backstage where we could find empty practice room. It was a smart, focus and essential practice, I was so glad to meet Miane. Few simple basic tips but very important:
1. Breathing! It's how you produce a good tone!
2. Toughing for exhaling, use TOH! Yong Siew TOH!
3. Lowest pitch and highest pitch need to be highlighted.
4. Play 1111,1234,5555,54321 for every scale.
5. Posture! Look into mirror while you practice everytime!
6. Focus air stream on a center object
7. He told me about judge's favorite piece, but I forgot
8. Don't tell anyone about the practice!
At 8:30pm, Lip Sheng bought me a ticket to the masterclass. A talk by conductor, Benjamin Zander. It was the greatest talk I had ever attended. I sat next to En Mustaqim and Miane Sng. And again I met my friends, En Pidot, Abang Rizqin and Alwin. Lip Sheng was sitting quite far away.
" How fascinating!" whenever a mistake is made.
" Shinny eyes that see possibilities"
" Can't make music without a broken heart." at last. For true music, love is compulsory.
A lot of thoughts he shared, it was about music but it was not just about music. His book is now in my wishlist.

Attended MPYO's Mozart & Tchaikovsky concert. Ticket sponsored by Lip Sheng. I met Lip Sheng and Miane Sng after concert. I got a dream, about joining the philharmonic orchestra together with them someday, and I wish it will come true.

"I'm glad that I've met a lot of my favorite people."
