Interesting coincidence

Life's really a joke at times. The most fascinating thing can happen lor. Last Wed, I was at a client's place and was chatting up with a regular customer when she introduced with me to her colleague who wanted to talk to me about a deal. Guess what. After the customary shaking of hands, my customer's colleague started talking to me and as we chatted more, something interesting struck me just out of the blue. Boy, he really look and behaved a lot like MR BLACK PANTS!! The mannerisms were all so similar that I would really have believed he was Mr BP's brother, if not for the fact that Mr BP only has a sister and no brother. Gosh. But the consoling thing was, I realised I had quite forgotten how Mr BP looked like, until I met this customer on Wed. It seemed like so long long time ago when I went on dates with him. Wow.

Anyways, on a different note, for those who are interested to know how Andy looks like, he was actually featured on TODAY newspaper yesterday. Wah, didn't know how 大牌 he is until now leh. According to the article, he is the youngest professional dizi player in Singapore and the first Singaporean to be accepted to the dizi MA course in China. Plus, he supposedly won the Gold award in a prestigious dizi competition in China last year. Wah. Cannot imagine that during the periods last year when he was not in Sg, he was actually winning competitions overseas. I suddenly feel like my teacher is a superstar.

And the interesting thing? He actually smsed me on Thurs morning to inform me about the article. So farnie! But if he hadn't done that, I definitely wouldn't have known about the article. Ha ha. And before departing for this 1 year course, Andy will be performing one last time at NAFA next Sat, 1 Sep. Its his solo recital and I heard he'll be playing some interesting pieces. So far, P and Corinni seemed keen to go with me. Must support support a bit lor.

The new teacher QL, is as expected, even younger than Andy. Think he should either be in his late teens, or early 20s. I've only went through 1 lesson with him so far, and I already kinda miss Andy's teachings. QL seemed more lax and easy-going. Although Andy was very strict, I think I really learnt great deal from him. But a change of teacher could still be beneficial after all, as I realised both of them think of different ways to teach the instrument, and although both methods are not the same, there are merits in both of them. This is especially very interesting, cos both of them had learnt from the same master.

Anyway, to end off....anyone keen to watch Andy's last concert with me, gimme a call ok? I'm going for the cheapest tix anyway, at $10. Chinese music concert usually quite cheap one. Haha. But I seriously think it'll be worth a watch. And I bo bian have to go one, so might as well get more people to go together.

So call me ok.
