Loved today's bible meeting and the short time spent with Suelyn, Suresh & baby Jazz before the meeting. Some of the subjects discussed at the meeting today was on Marriage, one's relationship with God and some of the scriptures included in Hebrews. Had a lovely dinner before rushing to Whampoa for the orchestra rehearsal.
Today's rehearsal was more of a shock to me. When I walked towards my seat, Terence told me there was a change of seating arrangement. My violin desk partner is now no longer Terence, but a girl by the name of Rachael. Mr Foo pointed to me the place where I am supposed to seat, which I spotted a guy sitting there alone. Next I did the most embarrassing and halarious thing someone would ever do. I walked towards the guy and asked, " excuse me, are you Rachael?" The guy just looked at me, obviously quite at a loss for words. Rachael is supposed to be a girl's name. Great, I had just asked a he if he is a she. When the seatings were settled, Ms Hawa told me I have to play the top melody now instead of the bottom one which I used to play, as now I'm seating at the right desk of the first violins seat. This is bad. When I was seating with Terence, I could remain blur as I always do and his playing, which seldom made any mistakes, could cover up my mistakes whenever I was dreaming. Now, no more Terence to cover up my mistakes. I had to stay alert, and probably help Rachael to cover up her mistakes, if she happen to make any. That means, sayonora to day dreaming when playing in the orchestra.
