Post-Event Reflections

We've managed to complete another music job. I'm sure it was a success from an onlooker's perspective, but it's a different story from our side. It doesn't matter how hard we work to build the house from the ground when there's that one person who single-handedly burns it down because they were taking it easy. Aliff told me that he nearly wanted to sock the guy on stage while I wouldn't have been surprised if he had collapsed from a seizure in the middle of the performance because he was so angry.

I've been feeling so upset, I needed to convince myself not to write a paragraph of expletives to express my frustrations. I know it's in the past now and we can only move forward, but it sucks so much. I get that it's not right to wish harm on others, but sometimes I wish certain people would feel as much pain as they give to us.

On a more positive note, I was glad to prove to myself that I could in fact switch back to an acoustic from an electric violin, and it hasn't been too awkward even though it's been more than ten years since I played violin in an ensemble. Additionally, I'm happy that a year of busking paid off, because I didn't feel flustered or nervous at all when the cameras started pointing at us. Also worth noting that the video work for the event was so good—for the first time, a Malaysian event vendor did something commendable. Thus why I felt it was such a pity that our performance was ruined when the live broadcast already made everyone look so cool on screen.

Finally, I continue to be amazed by my husband's approach to work. He can deliver his 1000% even on two hours of sleep, he's such a pro. I always aspire to be more like him in this regard.
