Balloon Poodle.

 

Another gig right the next day!

I don’t really like to go to gigs though, not that I don’t like to earn money, just that I think I better spend my time practising more, coz I gain nothing professional/technically via gigs.

I’ll only go to gigs when I got financial problems! LOL! Usually at the end of month. XDD

 

Performed at a wedding. There was a clown there making balloon stuff for kids. And I requested for a pink balloon poodle!!! =D

I had wanted to get one when I was small, but I never met any clowns that made balloon toys. T_T Haiya… my childhood. T.T

LOL. Anyway I did get one before I turned 20! Tadaa!

Happy day! Off to practise now! Byeee!

I’ve been to Fairyland. =)

 

Went to a gig 2 days ago without the faintest idea where we would be heading. All I knew was there would be cars escorting us there, so I showed up on time, got onto a Buick with 3 other quartet players and dozed off in the car.

I woke up sometimes to find the driver talking to someone using a walkie-talkie. He looked just like a bodyguard or something, wearing coat and all, and using the car’s GPRS system to locate the destination. I was too tired and sleepy as I stayed up too late a night ago, so I ended up sleeping soundly during the rest of the journey.

After like 1 hour, I opened my eyes and was astounded by an amazing sight. I held my breath while the car slidded passed this.

A very castle-like building with plants growing over it.

The moment we stepped down from the car, we started snapping. =)

That was just the entrance. Wait till you get inside.

After putting all our stuff in a specific room, I roamed around after changing into my gown.

I spotted this huge door that seemed to lead to a completely new world outside. I decided to explore. =)

When I opened the door, a gush of fresh air greeted me right in the face. It was just like the sea breeze back in my hometown, but this time, it lacked a salty flavour, but added a flowery scent. =) It smelt… GREEN.

And GREEN filled my sight.

Another element that made the air so fresh is the water!!! There were swimming pools and oso a lake out there!!!

The place where we were going to perform was She Shan Country Club. And these beautiful buildings surrounding it were all villas!

These are the times when I think bad cameras also can capture amazing pictures. =) Coz the place itself is already magical enough!

Shen Yan and I found a little hidden path led to another villa! =DDD

We saw some kids running around and eventually disappearing through the woods, then we got curious and turned around the corner. There was the hidden pathway!

The residents can have afternoon tea in this little hut and they can always take the engine boat to the opposite golf lawn for some golf! =D

It seems like the whole place is covered in leaves. =)))

This is the only building that I found slightly closer to urban style of this century.
