Yes, the worse birthday I've ever encounted. :( I'm sososo depressed!! Maybe I shouldn't have had my violin lesson on this day. Anyway, yesterday's strings concert was definitely very memorable! :) It was the last concert the sec4 performed in. :( I'm really really going to miss all of them! And also, I'm really very satisfied with my solo part for the last movement of Grieg. I've never played that smoothly before! I know it wasn't very fantastic but.. still.. satisfying. :) And relieved. :)
Before the concert, I was backstage, waiting for the vip to come in. Hehh... I was soooo nervous. Nervous about walking out. And before I knew it, I was walking out very shakily to my seat. I took a short bow, shook hands with mr chan and sat down. Phew. Just after a short while, it was time for my solo movement. I enjoyed it very much with Joanne, and had lots of fun! :) Then, the whole piece ended. wow. Time flies, so fast.
The second item, dvorak, was hmmm... not too bad I hope! But what touched me was the birthday song strings played for me. :) When Mr Chan was announcing to the audience about my birthday, I was wow, so shocked!! I had no idea that such a surprise was coming!! And I can't believe, they did that surprise infront of the vip, my principle, my teachers, and friends! Hehe.. wow.
Well, the concert had to come to an end. That was the part I was really not looking forward to. Sigh. I had a entertaining car ride back with ze and tham and when I reached home, I realised the number of messages I had in my hand phone. People were wishing me happy birthday and so on. :) And mr chan sms-ed me to thank me for the concert and my cool learship. I like the word cool!! That's about all, the day ended.
And today's my birthday. Sadly, I'm another year older. About 1/5 of my life is gone. I have to treasure the rest. Chapel today was really good. It just seemed like God sent an Angel to comfort me. Though I don't exactly feel very good now, those words are stuck in my head. God's word that said, "When you are weak, I am strong." Those words mean so much. I know with God's strength anything is possible, but I have to have faith in Him. Followed by, was chinese lesson. Everyone was telling my teacher about the surprise they gave me during the concert and then they sang a birthday song to me in Chinese. Hee. My teacher was asking me if I was very touched, and of course, I was. After that, was math. Mr Lee came in talking about the concert too. From what he said, I think he finally knows why we're so busy. Then, my class sang a birthday song again. Social studies was then the period which spoiled my whole day. Mr Seow wanted me to redo my assignment!!! How horrible. He said it was too short. But!!! I wrote exactly the same thing as some of my friends and none of them got scolded!!!!! Then he started asking me to smile and not be so angry. Worse still, during my co-op duty, he came in the room and gave me a birthday present. And while everyone walked out and LEFT ME ALONE with him, he started talking to me one to one. How frightening. He was explaining to me that he's not targetting me and kept repeating that I have to smile more cause I look prettier that way. What annoyance. I never get Tham for this reason. All this time, I was walking around the room trying to stay really far away and waiting for someone to rescue me!!! I'll forget about the details and move on to how I got my revenge by slamming the 20cent coin infront of him. Hehehe. That's my anger! Well, the rest of the day went on with one more birthday song and yes, end of school.
And VIOLIN LESSON!! Ahhhh!!! I don't even want to talk about it. Basically, it was the first time where I was almost in tears, dying to go home. I'm so troubled, WHY MUST I PLAY THE 3RD MOVEMENT OF TCHAIKOVSKY!! Why! Why! But I have no choice now. Really, no choice.
I am so upset, so troubled that I'm blogging. Things are just not right! Nothing's going well for me. Competition, competition. Studies, studies... this is my birthday, yet, I realise that I've never really been so troubled before. I don't know what I'm going to do. I really don't.
Well, may God be my light through the difficult times.

hey diddle diddle
Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
