my very pink Schwinn bike

The very very first bike of my life — hard to imagine, me + a bike, or me “on” a bike, since I made such a big deal over dressing down, wearing flats, and won’t be caught again hiking all that stuff… Guess one DOES change, well, a little bit at a time at least… this is after all, a very very very PINK bike Grin

ps nope, haven’t taken it outdoor yet, waiting for bff Derek’s back to get better so I can have a guide… I am too scared to go out with it… LOL well, eventually I will need to ride it everyday going up and down the bike route in the Riverside Park Smile


Minimalist for a day June 21, 2009

I am the one at the left piano with my very goth black loooong dress…
Make Music New York, Jung Lin

Played our New York premiere of Simeon ten Holt’s Canto Ostinato in Make Music New York today ON THE STREET under a tent, after 2 hour sleep and 4 hour teaching =P

But, FUN!!! Rain came in and out, lots of people stayed for the whole thing, was told by two enthusiastic audience afterward that they drove in from DC just to hear us!

A whole recording and filming crew was there, during the performance, the wind even blew a heavy high def video camera down, smashed into my arm and landed on my piano keyboard making a big BANG to say the least… LOL quite a scare but I had a few chuckles…

We did many many hours of rehearsals the whole week, my very first time playing a minimalistic work, the kind of focus needed to perform it was something I’ve never experienced before… quite glad I did this.

Check out the mentions of us on New York Times & The New Yorker

If you want to catch us doing this again, I will be playing it with Jed on Aug 14th, 2009, 6 pm at the Cornelia Street Cafe Smile
