I love my Erhu!!!!!!!!!

Wahahaha I love my Erhu!!

Today I only had one lecture, and I was like 20 mins late.. haha.. After that lecture, I came back to prac my dearest Erhu.. Wahahaha I have not touched him for one week lah.. (For me, Erhu is always a He..) hee.. Then as usual, I started with Wu Qiong Dong.. haha I started with a speed of like 80 bah.. then I think I had no prob, so I play with 120.. hehe it was still manageable.. When I tried 144.. I started to have problems le.. so I prac 120 for another 5 times.. then I tried 144.. wohoo.. I could make it le.. gagaga then I tried 174.. It was the fastest I have ever tried lah.. to my surprise, I could do it lol.. cos last time when I did it, I was like prac 3,4 hours everyday lah.. then now after one week nv prac, I could do it.. hahaha.. then I was sort of crazy lol, so I tried 200.. haha think my metronome went mad before I did.. haha and I only managed to complete once with speed 200.. and it was like .... like 50% of it was okie.. like quite clear and can hear every note.. but another 50% either got lot of slidings, or out of tones.. haiz.. but it was damn shiok lah.. like you go mad when you play.. then when I stopped, I think my arm was qt pain.. cos when I go too fast, I wont notice if my shou3 xing2 correct anot le..

hehe after 1 and half hour of wu qiong dong, I started Xin1 hun1 bie2.. gaga.. I played the Dong4 fang2 part for like 9 times lah.. and I really like that part.. hehe.. my xin1 hun1 bie2 sounds not bad today.. hehe.. even the kuai4 ban3..

then.. I tuned my Erhu to CG.. haha I never knew my Erhu sounds so sexy with CG tuning lah.. When I played Er Quan.. wow.. I love the sound that my Erhu produced.. It's like a man's voice talking.. very catching and very sexy.. argh!!!!!! I want to hugh my Erhu!!! Argh!!!! I think when you tuned to CG right, your string is slacker, so when you rou2 xian2 right, it sounds nicer.. argh.. I love my Erhu..

okie.. I am a bit too excited now.. When I told Wang Yue that my 我的大老公是我的二胡,我的二老公是另外一把二胡, she was like.. oh okie lo.. then your real lao gong is at least in the top 3 lah.. not like the dizi ppl, gaga..

I love my Erhu!!!

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
