Dec. 2nd, 2008 02:39 amPractice today was good, the sound was on the whole satisfying, and it's partially due to the fact that I have learned the songs already, so I can enjoy blending in with the rest of the people.
Anyway, had dinner with a bunch of new people, which is pretty rare for me, but since my mother is out of town, there's no dinner at home anyway.
The eight of us, 4 from AJ, and the other 4 from Vocal Consort, had dinner at Thai Express. Not my favourite cuisine, but who am I to argue? But hey, it was edible and definitely not worth the price.
We talked for quite a bit, rather I listened more, and I'm afraid that the rare times that I spoke up, might be pretty offending. Especially to people who don't really know me. Oh well. I am not exactly well versed in the social art of befriending people anyway. Aka, open mouth, insert foot. I mean, I sort of try to think before I speak, after the enlightening words from Min Jie and Jia Li, but I find my tongue works faster than my brain.
Went over to Kino after dinner in which I picked up a copy of Howl's Moving Castle. Yes, I finally got off my arse to buy it after wearing out the library's edition. I must have read it like 5, 6 times over the past 7 years. I wanted to get Fire and Hemlock too, since I didn't really understand it at the point of reading but there wasn't any stock and I wasn't comfortable with letting people wait for me.
We parted ways after Kino in which I took the bus back, making a short detour at Lot One, checking out the new library which disappointed me, and bought some trinkets for myself.
Quite a productive night. If I managed to convince myself to touch the piano, it might have been better. >.>
