Here comes the June school holidays. But, its now at the Prelude stage. Sounds like P&Fs. Well, before the commencement of the school holidays, there's a wave of activities that have to be done and completed. Yet, when the holidays start proper, there are still activities that are going on. It seems that the actual school term break comes only at the second week of the 'holidays'. Where has all those"Let's take a good break, we've worked hard this sem" gone to?
Flip a coin. There you go.
I've been faithfully watching Barney and Hi 5! Since i've got nothing better to do during lunch times, and my parents don't want me to disturb them. Oh wells. It could be seen as a catching up on all the tv shows i missed while slogging for the term.
I must say i'm qutie pleased with my results during script-checking, yet i think i could have done better. Well, most subjects were quite okay, with a few subjects that made me really disappointed. I vow to work harder next sem, isn't that the cycles of school life?
well, the school pianokeyboard does work wonders, despite its pedal being spoilt. I couldn't get the rhythm and the notes for this three lines of a piano score, and i tried it on the piano, owing to the fact that i have a lot of time to spare. Fabia and Hafizah were there too, but it doesn't matter. The fact is: I got the part correct, without the need to practice hands separately and together ten times each, as i always do at home in order to perfect a section!!! And the 'snowflakes' part of Chopin's Nocturne Op.55 was solved on that piano too!!! I practiced that seven bars for two days, one hour each day, ten times each hand, ten times each bar. And i still can't get it right! But, on the piano, i did get it right! I just played those two lovely sections again on my lovely upright piano, and wow, i did get them correct and can play them fluently!!
Next performance, SIMC. Then the one in July 27, called i don't know what. I hate rehersals, i always try every mean to escape them, but of course, it does not work. Hmm. I wonder how SIMC will be like. It seems to be grand, i wonder how grand. Let's see.
edit: we are fooled by randomness. how can i, a maths student, conclude that the school piano works wonders just by a mere isolated example? the reason why i could manage to play that few bars well is because i have been practicing those few bars for such a long time. you see, these things are completely random. it doesn't meanthat the piano is magic just like that. if you use probability, what is the chance that you would be able to perfect a piece (or a section of a piece, for that matter) without practice, but just by playing on the so-calledmagic piano? i'm not sure, probably one in a few hundred times. i think my CAP will be below 4 this sem:(( i'm very sad. its so difficult to keep my CAP afloat, and with all these activties going on. i know i have to cut down on my activities, but which ones?
Hahaaa. Go read this book called Freakonomics. It should be found in the business section in the library and its a very creative twist of society; no idea why its in the business section, though. I was browsing aimlessly through Queenstown library and this book caught my eye. So i picked it up to read. Its super interesting. For example, do you know the percentage of teachers that cheat in schools? Well, its kind of true, because some of the teachers in our school do those stuff that were mentioned, and you could call that cheating. And why does your name reflect who you were? Its super nice.
I have no idea what to do! Its so boringgg. Renee, this is the perfect time to lend me My Sisgter's Keeper, though you'd be in the midst of your APs.
I'm super sad. My right hand is super weak. Its been weak since the exams ended. Probably because i wrote too much... yesterday it was so weak i couldn't even lift a cup of water with my right hand. And today, i almost dropped the lid of the pot. I can't even get through one round of appegieos without my hand collapsing. I can't even get through my A piece :((((( I'm super sad.
