Whoopies! Tomorrow is a holiday and I've already finished more than half my homework! Yay!!!
Except, of course, for the newspaper. Argh. At least we don't have to report on real stuff. Then we don't have to worry about being truthful :P. What truth is there in pretend? ^_^
Yunpeng asked me to play for Chinese Alpha next Saturday. I guess I don't mind, after all such experiences, are, as Mrs Ee said "valuable and hard to come by". And after all its the same song again. I'm getting sick of it. And there are no notes to follow so its easy enough. Muahaha. But I just hope there are no violinists among those nurses and China students. It was difficult enough to stand there and play for first service knowing that Joash can play the violin too. It got worse when I spotted him. But anyway he doesn't seem to care, so... 也许是我心理作怪。Oh wells. ^_^
I swear, Gloria's got music on the brain. Sheesh! I mean.... well, words fail me. Its not the being obessed with music that I find weird, its the fact that its Gloria that I'm not quite used to yet. Then again, its not really quite that either. I don't know, it just seems... WEIRD. Haiz. I suppose I'll get used to it. Speaking of Gloria and cca, we're going to hold a concert during Sep. hols in the Esplanade. The Esplanade Recital Studio. Aww... Ok ok, start small. At this rate I won't be around anymore when they finally get down to the concert hall. Oh wells. Can go watch. Haha. But one thing I noticed was that most of the people, specifically violinists, who were enthusiastic about the idea, were from 1st violins. I say this because I face the cello and viola sections. And when Mr Sze asked us to vote whether we wanted to do the concert, the only hand I could see raised either than my own was Wan Fang. There were plenty more nay votes from those sections. But we're still going ahead. So that means almost the whole of the 1st violin section must have agreed to do the concert. I've been noticing this trend. The violin ones get the more difficult parts, with high notes galore. But they are the ones who seem most excited about music, the most "on" ones. My own section, I'm sorry to say, is a far cry from that. Guess its a culture thing huh? Oh man, does that mean I'm a lousy SL or what? Oh whatever. They have to play, whether they like it or not. Huh.
Speaking of techniques etc, my darling wrist is as WOODEN as ever. *Damn you, stupid wrist!* Ok ok, I shouldn't be blaming my innocent little wrist for being stiff. Guess its my own fault huh? Sometimes I wish I could just take a hammer and give it a little tap right THERE. Ought to fix that stiffness. Sigh. Ok, maybe I could just be glad I have arms, I have a proper wrist, and I have five functional fingers. Even though the last one is stupidly short. If people without arms can learn to play the piano with their toes, surely I can do better. Right. *sigh*
Gloria has been thinking of joining TO. Power to you, Gloria. Go live out your dream. Seems like in everything I do, I'm never as good as I want to be, no matter how hard I try. Am I doing it the wrong way or something? I must be... I guess sometimes talent matters at the end of the day. The only thing I can confidently say I am at the top of my game at is English. And even so it isn't number one. Like Math, Science, other languages, Music... Sheesh, I have an ex-classmate in SYO. He's like sub-principal player in TCHS violin 1 section? And their violin section is reputedly very good. See what I mean? My Math and Chinese just plain suck, my Chem is only average, and though my Bio is one of the best it isn't the best. Wish I could BE the best for once. Sigh... Stupid you Jane, stupid you. Stop dreaming.
Hmm, I hope no one's reading this. I think I'm becoming a little too explicit here. Guess I should just revert back to my private journal. Or, even better, do some old fashioned writing.
