Tanglewood

On saturday, my friend Jiinjoo asked me to go to Tanglewood to watch the BSO ( Boston Symphony Orchestra ) in an open rehearsal with Yoyo Ma, conducted by Marin Alsop. The rehearsal starts at 10am and the drive there takes a bit over 2 hours so must wake up at 6.30am man. The night before, i was playing tennis with my gang lah. Play until want to pengsan. We play almost everynight from 9pm to midnight. If tak tennis, then main bola. If tak main bola, then badminton. Now i also watch the US Open series on tv everyday. I try to kopi the moves from the pros lah. Most of the time, tak boleh kopi so i kopi the attitude...hahaha...kopi everything except until throw racket. I sayang my racket lah.

The most important thing for a road trip is i must get the chocolate milkshake from McNonel lah. It is like my viagra for road trips man. If tak ada, then i surely koon man. Along the freeway got a lot of McNonel. Like got monopoly or something. Actually, i dunno why they call it freeway. Not free what. Must play toll. They should change the name to expensiveway. Anyway, i also hungry but in the morning, they never make pishburger, so lan lan, got to buy cheese pizza.

So we continue on the journey. Then when we nearing Tanglewood, the traffic suddenly got sooooooo slow man. Then we saw this



Jiinjoo was driving and i was shooting. Luckily Jiinjoo drive man cos i was so sleepy that if i drive, i think we langgar 1st in Boston.



This guy trying to get the victim out man. Looks real bad, cos the top of the car all caved in. Too bad the picture blur lah, cannot get the licence plate number to buy 4D. Anyway, i try to get more news after that but tak boleh. So hope the person is ok. I think my friend Jiinjoo is a dangerous man sial. The other day, when he driving from New York, got Fung Wah bus explode. So jangan piss him off.







Tanglewood is really nice man. Remind me of the countryside in Switzerland. The ticket expensive max man. $17 to watch a rehearsal. If people pay me $1 to watch my rehearsal, power sia. Then i can go dollar store buy something..hahaha. I think got about 2000 people watching the rehearsal man. Average age also 2000 years old....hahaha... The rehearsal was ok lah. Marin Alsop is the 1st big time female conductor. Orchestra conductor, not bus conductor. She's now the Music Director ( another cheem name for Conductor so that they can justify being paid millions a year ) of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

After saying hi to my teacher, we went to Berkshire Records to buy some classical music cds. Wah, the cds cheap max man, from $2 to $8. The sales guy was saying that people also stop buying from Amazon.com and buy from them. Jiinjoo wanted to say, he work at Amazon also buying from them..hahahaha.

Ok lah...damn shag now...just came back from playing tennis..again, cannot kopi the moves, only kopi attitude...hahaha

Later,
Mat Love
