A Place In Your Reverie. ♥

I didn't expect the gig venue to be this nice. I mean REALLY THIS NICE.
Totally rushed all the way there this afternoon, jumped into a cab and told the cab driver the address I got from my friend.

The address said "Moller Villa Hotel" and this was EXACTLY what I saw when I got down from the cab. (Pictures from google. Pardon me, I didn't take much pictures today due to the rush. Sorry guys.)









It blew me away, the sight of this magnificent building that should only exist in fairytale. I didn't even know something like this exist in Shanghai!
You guys can click HERE if you want to know more. :)










The omg-so-grand entrance.









The awesome night view! I'm totally spell-bounded.









And not forgotten, some interiors to show!







According to the resources, it was built in year 1936 and known as the Moller Residence in a composite style of Norwegian and Oriental architectures. :)
The best thing? It's actually just a few turns from my place! And I friggin' know nothing about it! Argh!! I'll pay a visit there soon. I hope. :D



Finally, pictures from my camera, which is pitifully little in sum.
I played for a wedding ceremony today, happy to know the other 3 musicians were my friends! You see, I don't know who's playing with me in the first place, I'm just informed the time and venue and tadaa! Practically just sight reading and spontaneous hey-nice-to-meet-you-let's-play-this-together kinda stuff.
It was freezing today. Temperature dropped to below 15 degree celsius. We had to play outdoor in our dresses and in my case, my black dress and a thin cardigan. SHITTY. X.X
Anyway it was a beautiful wedding, beautiful bride and bridegroom in white. :)
A snapshot of the arrangement of the place where the wedding was going to take place.








There were flowers everywhere. Beautiful, luscious flowers.







Finished the gig, totally frozen, but intoxicated with the beauty of the place and the bliss of the newly-weds. :)
Quite a nice day for me. What about yours? :)

Not A Salesgirl This Time.

Same bosslady, same products, but different place and role. LOL.
This time I'm not working as the salesgirl but play the violin instead. :DDD

I really love the gig venue this time! The Business Park Club, very very classy and cosy place! The weather was fine today, so the sun shone in and made everything looked cheery! :DDD

I reached early so I helped with the arrangement of the products since I had experience of it last time.
Got to know a very very dolly sister, Sandy, who was there helping as well! :DD
Pictures!!!


I seemed to be having 1 leg in this pic. SCARY. XD









Can you believe that she's 27 this year? I thought she's just 21! :DDD









Very bright and pollyannaish dining place. :)







And Sandy! ♥♥♥








The event started aroun 1pm something. I changed into my black dress and started playing while Sandy snapped pictures of me. :) Thanks dear!








The weather suddenly turned cold so I wore my batty jacket. XD There was this cute little 5-years-old Korean girl that came and started chatting with me. She spoke perfect Chinese and the way she talked was just like an old woman, so mature omg! XDDD She kept on trying to pluck my violin strings and I was like "NOOOOO THAT'S MY TEACHER'S VIOLIN!!!" Luckily my bosslady came over and helped me to stop her. T.T
Anywayyyy, she was really adorable so I took pictures with her when I wasn't playing violin. XD











Super cute right? She gonna be really pretty when she grows up. :)









She was drawing my portrait when I took this picture.









My fav pic of the day! Taken by her pretty mommy! She was happy coz her mom gave her a slice of cake. :DDD








Just got a phone call, there'll be ANOTHER gig tomorrow. X.X Okay fine.. Good night ppl! :)

Concert 26/11/2010.

Went to the concert of Martin's band which was called Fluttering Hearts.
He founded it this year and today was their debut performance! :)

I bought a bouquet of white roses for the concert! I actually feel reluctant to give it coz I love it too much! :DDD It was handpicked by me and I loveeeeeee white roses!



Miki and the roses~











Me! :))))











I love it I love it I love it! ♥ ♥ ♥












Before starting!









The concert was quite a success. There were some amazing contemporary pieces composed by students of our conservatory and wonderfully performed by the band members (There're 5 members altogether)! Bravo!

End of concert, pictures! :DDD Here's Martin!






Jiang Feng (one of the band members) and Mary! LOL... I dunno why they call him Mary. XD







Haha.. Why are they looking at me? XD











Teeheeee! Spot Lulu! She was one of the band members too! And the girl in ponytail beside me plays the flute! :)









Totally famished, we went straight to steamboat right after greeting our performers goodbye. Some silly pics taken at the steamboat restaurant! :DDDDD






Whoops! Another gig tomorrow morning! Shittayy~~ I gotta go sleep! Byeeee~
