no more piano lessons till the end of nov.... n theory too. no more having to wake up at 8.30 on a sunday morn.. well... for a month at least.. yea *winks* =D

hmm.. i'm supposed to help fiona think of her prom outfit.. tough task. i'd rather think of what i can get for myself except that i'm not going for prom =) *sighs* she doesn't want to wear a skirt and definately not a dress.. oh well....

Absence makes not the heart grow fonder but the mind become clearer.

There's no rain that won't stop.
And there's will always be sunshine after the rain.

The harder you try, the higher you'll fly. That's what really counts.
The higher you fly, the harder you'll fall. That's when you get trounced.

what a way to start the week off with. skipped piano at 5 for this.. *grinz* belated birthday lunch with kelvin and watched the new police story...

farewell assembly 15102004

i hate wierd/half-done/unclear arrangements.
i hate it when people dilly-dally when we're gonna be late.
i hate being late for mass.
i hate it when u don't do what you are supposed to.
i hate feeling pissed.
i hate being pissed at small stuff because i was pissed at something else.
i hate it when someone tries to pick a 'fight' when i'm trying hard not to argue anymore.

i was very pissed. i had alot more to rant but a few mins into mass and i felt it nomore. this is good or i'll end up feelin pissed the whole day.

4.30 in the morn n the view is actually quite nice from my kitchen's window. no1 really online. not a car in sight on the road outside my block nor the next road. peace n quiet in the house save for the fish tank's wadeva u call that. filter? nax is so probably gonna nag at me for being up so late(early) .. see.. i can tell the future too.. =D *shrugs* i miss rockie =( he was the only one who accompanied me up in the wee hours whenever i sleep over at my aunt's house and watch tv/movies late. dogs are such endearing companions.

went back to open hse today (yesterday). met up with yongjoo n vicknesh. technically, yongjoo's studying in pj but hardly talk to him, and vicky in sp.. catched up a lil with them as we set in the canteen. saw adam and png saw me. one left me a cute doggie cushion and the other a bewildered message. till now i still have no idea who's he and i'm probably so never gonna talk to phillip again for giving png my number.. bleah. saw jason too but was too lazi to call him over as he'd probably continue to tease mi n adam to no ends -.- missed meeting up with gavin but had a m.dance with jem b4 leaving for town to meet my mum to go to the re-opening of the relocated facial place. it's so much nicer, serene n bigger =D walked around town somemore and bought a quilt for fiok. she jealous that i have a new one.. in wine red *grinz* left for ikea soon after n only start for home at about 6 .. stopping over at west coast to buy satay home for dinner.

i think i know y i'm so awake now. and no i don't have anything bothering mi =) i was napping away in the car whilst waiting for my mom n fiok to buy the satay.. o.0 oh well.. i'll probably go continue studying for a while or just go back to sleep. did no work yest. theory lesson at 10 tomorrow. mass at 12.30.

- 3 days -

today. tmr. and the day after tmr. school officially ends. will still be having random consultations n gp lessons till the start of a's. i'm not supposed to be online la.. but decided to come on to check smth n clear my mail *shrugs*

juz read fiok's entry.. made me think bout lotsa stuff.. abt my god noes how many years of education. what am i gonna do in the next year and where am i gonna be. call me a pessimist but i doubt i'll get good enough grades to go to u? seriously considering joining gavin's course.. which i actually don't mind save for the travelling time. and considering i've wasted 2yrs of sch fees n wadnot.. my mum was like quite alright with it? she even asked me what was i gonna do after a's and i asked her wad was i gonna go if i can't get into u.. =/ she even kept a look out for the certain courses which i'd be interested in...

ponned school today then went back arnd noon to attend the rehearsal for our graduation/farewell assembly on thurs. did alot of walking.. formations n wadnot.. wasted like almost 2hrs there. then went to look for esther to finish up the mirrors. more to continue tmr coz she forgot to bring the stuff .. oh well.. i forgot to remind her aniwae.. finished onli abt 7pm.. *shakes head*

having yet another rehearsal tmr. how much of my studying time will be gone again. i'll probably stay in sch to study after tt.. oh well *shrugs*

收拾下自己的心 说给自己听
那黑 那白 全都不在 那风 那梦 风吹熄我的梦
收拾下自己的心 好让天使听
那黑 那白 全都不在 那风 那梦 风吹进我的梦
无力抱紧 抱着又伤心 偶而想起我爱你
想追又自己鼓不起勇气 我心中黑白
无力靠近 猜测你的心 今夜又会在那里
窗外的风起天下起小雨 我心中 黑白的画映
(的画映 的画映)

收拾下自己的心 好让天使听
那黑 那白 全都不在 那风 那梦 风吹进我的梦
无力抱紧 抱着又伤心 偶而想起我爱你
想追又自己鼓不起勇气 我心中黑白
无力靠近 猜测你的心 今夜又会在那里
窗外的风起天下起小雨 我心中 黑白的画映

我无力找真爱 可怜我只想空白
找不到靠近理由 也只能开不了口
静静的我守在窗口 享受这寂寞

无力抱紧 抱着又伤心 偶而想起我爱你
想追又自己鼓不起勇气 我心中黑白
无力靠近 猜测你的心 今夜又会在那里
窗外的风起天下起小雨 我心中 黑白的画映

无力证明 但愿你想信 有个傻子在想你
在想你和我楼梯间相遇 我心中黑白的画映
(的画映 的画映)

无力抱紧 抱着又伤心 偶而想起我爱你
想追又自己鼓不起勇气 我心中黑白

- Piano results -

__________________________________________________________

Technical Work:
Scales were not always safe, several needing re-starts. Arpeggios were slow
in response but mostly accurate in notes.
12/18

Performance:

Parodies: Toccata in D minor
A rather tentative account with some insecure paragraphs and loss of fluency.
Not convincing stylistically.
12/20

Haydn: Finale for Sonata in D Hob XVI: 24
The pulse unclear here and there were a number of hesitations preventing
a sense of continuity. Articulation was often uneven, especially in the RH. 3rds.
Dynamics lacked sufficient definition.
11/20

J. Gould: Stamp!
Although the playing here was rather more confident and reliable,
there were still insecure sections. Rhythms lacked vitality and
‘drive’ needed for the idiom
13/20

Sight Reading:
You managed to keep going. Better in pitch than in rhythm but quite a lot of
performance detail missed.
7/12

Aural Tests:
Some correct description in the piece. Cadences incorrect.
3/10

58/100

Pass 65-74%
Merit 75-84%
Honours 85-100%
Unsuccessful below 65%

15/18

Performance:
Parodies: Toccata in D minor
A clear cut and confident performance with suitable contrasts of
dynamics. You did not maintain a fully constant tempo but
overall it was stylish playing with well-shaped phrasing.
17/20

Haydn: Finale for Sonata in D Hob XVI: 24
Expressively played with a correct sense of style. A crisp, even
tempo with appropriate tonal variety and contents in articulation.
Minor slips only.
18/20

J. Gould: Stamp!
You caught the lively mood well here and it flowed along mostly
well. Good dynamic contrast and an even tempo; slight
unevenness of tone in places.
17/20

Sight Reading:
You caught the style quite well and it had a well-shaped musical flow,
despite some note slips.
