Another concert done! Sorry for not updating the upcoming performances section for this concert! The next one, however, will be in England but I'll still update anyway.

This concert was one that I wished I did so many things better. There were some good moments but overall the whole performance experience felt like it was let down by technical difficulties and sometimes lack of concentration. I just hope we can play better whilst in England. Gonna be a tall order since many things will be unfamiliar to us when we're there but I'll hope for the best nonetheless.

Been doing lots of conducting so far as well. It's really taking a toll on my right shoulder. I'm feeling the pain still. This 2nd stint of covering Mr. Yeo has kinda solidified the thought that taking a full band rehearsal is not my thing. I can get things done but I don't feel satisfaction in what I do when I stand at the podium for 3 hours or so and trying to get many young, seemingly lifeless, people to get going. I've met some really fine young musicians and I'm really happy for them! But I kinda feel teaching isn't so much my forte. I hope to be able to try my hand at teaching privately soon. I have a feeling I'll do better at that than bigger groups.

I just played around with iPhoto and it's really fun and cool! I'm glad it's available for free on my Mac! Gonna be using it more often especially with my upcoming trips! From now, there will be less instant uploads from my phone but more higher quality (hopefully!) pictures. The geotagging is pretty cool too! Editing photos is really simple as well and it does make photos a lot more pleasing to my eyes at least!

Alright, time to get some sleep! Goodnight world!
