Friend's wedding

Attended my friend's wedding yesterday. Was in charge of playing the L-O-V-E song re-sung by Michael Buble for her classmate to sing.

Did a 'rehearsal' 2 days before, and few hrs before the dinner banquet. Everything went pretty fine.

Until the dinner banquet itself. Becoz it's an old keyboard, the connections were rather shaky. In the middle of the song, it started to 'on' and 'off' the sound with a pattern according to the rhythm i was playing...i was like "oh no...." i was very afraid when coming to the keyboard solo part as this defect will be obvious, and yes, it was shown plainly that there were technical faults. Tried to even push the wire tight into the keyboard in the middle of the playing. Was only a teeny bit better, but the crazy on-off thing still went on...ARGH. After the perf, couldnt wait to get off the stage.

This is the 1st time ever that there were such major screw ups during my performances. And it was a technical screw up due to the equipment. Was pretty upset when i went back to my seat.

Told my hubby b4 hand to tape the recording. Heard it last night. In the end, it was not TOO bad....becoz it sounded like it was intentional since i did the cut off once before in the song. However during the keyboard solo part, it was pretty obvious. And i could hear a gal in the background saying "Oh no...." well well. Accidents do happen. And sadly this was beyond my control. Mr Cloudz said i played fine, and the thing has nothing to do with my playing.

The couple later came over to thank the singer, and i. I was about to ask the bride my friend, when she just cut me by saying "Excellent". Apologized to the groom about the "technical fault" altho it wasn't really my fault.

Guess it's just too bad. Sigh.

Anyway hope tomorrow (Sun's) mass will go fine. It's my church's Feast Day of the Holy Family. And Archbishop Nicholas Chia would be gracing the occasion. And guess wat, im in charge of solo-singing, and playing the organ/piano for lots of songs. So i really pray and hope that tmr will go fine and not go the way Friday did! Pray for me ya....Thanks very much!

K, sorry to dampen you slightly with my grievances. Here're some happier photos of the wedding taken.
