I am so pissed with myself! I can't believe how "brilliant" I can actually be really. I totally missed Joshua Bell's concert in Singapore because I forgot all about it! It was last weekend and its not like I was terribly busy, I wasn't even doing anything meaningful - hell, I was on FACEBOOK playing mindless facebook games!!
He is actually here with Academy of St Martins in the fields, touted as one of the finest chamber orchestras, for 2 nights, as one of the programme highlights in recently concluded Singapore Arts Festival.
And yes, I bought tickets for both nights (which amounted to $300) and I forgot about it for both nights.
Super duper pissed! To be honest, it wasn't so much of wasting the $300, its more like, such a pity, how often do we get artistes of his stature come to Singapore? And here he is, and I had bought his tickets real early like somewhere in March.
I kept thinking that June is still early. I literally cleanly forgot all about it until this morning. Arrgghh!! I can't really find the words to say right now. There is a mixture of feelings of anguish, pity, frustration, anger, helplessness all rolled together in a mish-mash of crap that I'm feeling now!
I don't think he will be visiting Singapore or Asia for that matter in the next 10 years. Sigh. The next time, I'm going to buy a ticket to America to see him. That way, I won't forget!
I better not miss the Berlin Phil concert in November! That ticket is $300 for 1 night and is really a once in a lifetime kinda experience!
Oh, and Eleen was so dang sweet la! In a bid to console me, she offered to buy me dinner on Friday! :D
