I feel like such a kid; I like and get excited over little childish things.
Our faculty stormed to Toronto yesterday and did a gala concert at the George Weston Recital Hall, all 200 of us (160 choir members from 2 choirs and like 50 orchestra players? I seriously think 160 is too much for the choir, but if only the good choir gets to go then that means our choir won’t be able to sing cus we kind of suck, so I have no comlaint). It was fun as hell and I wish they did it every year. It’s like a giant field trip with a chance to showoff.
I wish I played some instrument so I can be in the orchestra instead though; nothing cooler than playing in an ensemble. poor deprived me!
We had 4 hours between our rehearsal and performance; 7 of us loitered around the street and 2 restaurants to kill time. (cus I was being an ass and refused to go walk in the mall; but come on! 7 people with different interest in the blandest mall in the universe? not interested) I think for once I wasn’t being absolutely boring/silent/awkward. Improvement improvement.
And my super special awesome friend lent me his DS and I played Children of Mana (and FAILED SO HARD, I got laughed at when I died. I think I got better though, after like 15 quests) and now I’m addicted. The last time I played a console game was pokemon on gameboy color. The graphics are so cool in CoM; I love their chara designs and art style. Luckily the power ran out or I would’ve been leveling/earning money right now.
[edit] photos! I’m not a prolific photo-taker at all; it makes me feel like my camera is going to waste. of my whole trip, I took these two pics =[ our orchestra before rehearsal…
On an unrelated note, I finished the first new image for the artbook! I think I will keep it for a while, until I have all the images ready, then I’ll post a slew of incentive images one by one on DA for promotion purposes or something. Because if I post now I think people will forget.

lol I wish I can get a Wii. First of all I am sure it’ll be hard for me to find one in stock, and I can’t preorder apparently. Second of all, if I do get a Wii, university is over for me :) (as the borrowed DS has brought demise to productivity in the last few days)

Shilin, you going to get a Wii? Or PS3[it sucks]? Or a 360?
I`m rooting all the way for the Wii, but I don`t have the $$ to get one yet though[it`s not released it officially locally anyway].
If you *do* get the Wii, do get Ikaruga for the GameCube[Wii is backward compatible!]! It`ll bloody blow your mind off! Beautiful game!
bq, how are you guys going about animating it? Flash or traditionally? I`m an animator by trade as well[though I`m still a student] and I`m quite interested as to how you`re going to pull it off.

One day this will become a nostalgia for me too since I am not even in orchestra… better enjoy it while it lasts.
