Shan Hui, Daniel and me went to the Amadeus concert today, Let's Begin Again. It was a splendid performance, the concert technique was like ours; solemn and heavy songs at first, and the second half is much more contempary. I guess Miss Ong wanted to create the ambience that suited all of the audience(Even though most of her audience were her students and that's why it was a full house). She repeated some songs that were ours, but her ones are more challenging. That is why I think Miss Gan didn't like her; she didn't choose better versions of the same song for us.
Anyway after the concert we kind of surprised Miss Ong by showing up.
She was beaming with a gleaming brown-gold gown, cascading shoulder-length brown hair and gripping to bouquets of flowers given to her with gratefulness. People swarmed to her like fans and she greeting them with hospitality. We just stood there below her, off-stage, and she turned to us. Then we just chimed, "Miss Ong do you remember us?"
And she gleamed, "Of course! The three of you!". What is so great about seeing someone after so long is to smile at their surprised reaction; mixed well with ecstasy and excitement. I know we all might just be another batch of students she taught, but everyone shares a deep relationship with her because she is just so likeable. And she actually trusts us, and that is what makes her character admirable.
We had to wait for another good 15 minutes for her to finish talking to her students, and we stood at the corner of the right-audience seats, she came to us, with another guy in black tagging along and leaning not so far away on a chair. We told her what our choir was going through, how unmotivated we are without her around, and the defiance of the sec 1s. I'm glad I got her number in the end, or else it'll be hard to find any of her contact after that.
It's sad the rest didn't come because she was expecting more guys to attend the concert. She was really excited that we went, I mean she actually remembered us.. but as usual she got me and Shan Hui's name mixed up. It was great to see her again, and she is really the best conductress ever. I miss her, can't she teach in our school again or something? We should make some kind of petition for her to come back.
Oh well, tonight's song is Tuesday Morning by Michelle Branch.
