With my old friend, Carmine Lauri (Co-Leader of the London Symphony Orchestra, LSO) after their wonderful concert at the KLCC on 3 May. We used to be "practice partner" and sometimes we were fighting to book the room to do our own practice way back during our student days at the Royal Academy of Music. Even though he was 2 years my junior, he was already incredibly good in playing then. The practices actually motivated me to work harder. Well, all the practices do pay off! I would like to wish him all the best for a even brighter future in his music endeavour.
