HELLO!! EOYs have finally arrived! I have to say that the first 2 papers I took were quite... different from what I've expected. Heh. I've been studying alot these few days! Well at least as much as I can! Trying out different methods of studying... and so on! My simple expectation for my eoys is to be promoted to sec 4! And I bought a bottle of light sticks. So that I can wear one on my wrist to sleep every night! (:
That's milo. I got bored this morning.
He got bored accompanying me too!

I like this. It's so cool.
Reading my new scores? (:
Aww.. his reaction when I say "up"!
He looks strange here. He was suppose to play dead.

Ohyeah! That's ze and me! We went to botanical gardens on friday to study under a tree. (: But apperently, the number of ants there were much more than expected. We have been researching on ways to get rid of ants!

But we still managed to study.. under a tree!
That's not our tree. (:

I actually went to school today!! Today wasn't that bad.. the weather was good and that's an important factor!! End of years are coming... I don't think I'm prepared at all!! Just can't believe that my exams are coming! As long as I get promoted to sec 4, I think I'll be happy enough! Hee. Really hope I'll be able to take the stress! (: Just 3 weeks less till temporary freedom!!! YAY!

Yet again, I've failed. It's quite expected anyway. I already knew that no matter how well I play, they will mark me down for cutting sections of my piece. First, they penalized me for playing overtime, now they penalize me for avioding playing over time. This is stupid. I heard, that failure brings you a step closer to success. But I guess I have to go through the world's longest staircase to achieve success. Unless a miracle happens and I find a escalater. Of course I'm not upset about this tie's failure but I'm definitely still upset about last week's disappointment. This year I the worst year of my life. Last year too. And maybe next year too. First, I failed in music and now I'm going to fail in studies. Anyway, I shall try my best for I know, I will keep failing and failing.

Although I still can't accept the fact that life is unfair, I'm feeling alot better now cause I finally realise why I didn't get in the finals and I also know of someone who is also experiencing the same problem as me. So, why didn't I get in the finals? Well, it's simply because my piece was too long. So they deducted my marks. Isn't that nice?

I don't really feel like posting now. Feeling very... bothered.

I don't want to live anymore. and I have a perfectly good reason for wanting to die. I DIDN'T GET IN THE FINALS. Isn't that great? Fantastic? Wonderful? Now I am proud to say that I'm a perfect failure. Failure in music, failure in studies or basically a failure in everything I do. What went wrong today? I gave my note perfection, my musicality and my best. And yet, everyone else in the world got in except me. If it's the piece that they don't like, then this is just too unfair. I do know already the number of people who hates the piece I play but do I care? I like it and that's my own problem. Music is free everyone should be open minded about different pieces. Just stop being so biased and soooo unfair!!! Where's my justice? Just because my piece is not well liked doesn't mean that the performer is a bad musician. I don't get it. LIfe is unfair. My mom tells me that very often. Life is UNFAIRUNFAIRUNFAIR. What's unfair? And that's LIFE. L. I. F. E. LIFE. If I played badly today, I wouldn't be too upset but you know what? I don't even think I played badly! Everyone was saying that I played very well however, I don't think I can trust anymore comments for the rest of my life. From now on, if someone says I'm smart, it means that I'm stupid. So it applies here. Everyone said I played well. Sooo.. I played badly! It's as simple as that! Well, since everyone has been saying that I play well since my very first performance, it just simply means that I have been playing very badly. Why can't people just tell me that I played badly instead of being sarcastic? It really makes me feel like saying that everyone is a liar but I can't say that right? So it means that my ears have a big problem. I don't want to live anymore. Life is unfair and it's going to get more unfair. If it wasn't for my mom, I think my legs will still be hanging out of the window. Thanks to my new badroom design.

I'll never ever ever understand why I didn't get in to the finals. But for now, it only proves that I'm the louiest person in the whole world!

Yay!

Thank you!

YAY. My bed is finally out of my bedroom! Hehhh. I had a wonderfulwonderful day today. Did no studying at all. Woke up quite late in the morning, then when rollerblading with ze's family at botanical gardens where many interesting inciddents happened. Then, I came home, practised... and Tham came over!! To practise our very last minute piano duet. We played basketball too! And yup. That's about all. It's going to be another amazing day tomorrow! Lantern festival!! Can't wait. Hopefully, the statrus clouds won't cover the sky anymore. I want to see the lovely moon!! And hopefully milo can celebrate lantern festival with me too!
Milo's left ear is folded!! Heee. He's lifting his paw up!! He's either thinking or trying to shake hands. Heee.

HEEE. I didn't go to school today!! Why? Simply because I need to stay at home and seriously study amath. Well, my other reasons are that I am mentally and physically not very well. Adding on, I woke up finding my lips numb and swollen. Isn't that interesting? I did spend my morning and afternoon going through amath. But of course, I was very distracted at times. Kept falling asleep and practising piano when I got bored. That's how I spent my day. (: Anyway, I think life in school is happier without me. Bet my classmates know what I mean! They can break all the school rules they want without being caught! How fun is that! School's always better when I'm not around.

OHNO!!! Physics SPA tomorrow!!! I think I'm going to faint while doing the experiment. Let's see... didn't go to school today! Thanks to ze's viola exam. Spent my day rehearsing with ze, studying.. went for piano lesson too. Well. That's about all. Basically, I'm posting because I'm feeling very packed. My dad says he's going to move my bed out of my bedroom. I think it'll be better that way too.

I've nothing to post about. Going back to work now. ):

And physics spa tomorrow!!!

Sigh. School starts again! Missed my o'levels physics spa because of tham huiyu!! Had to be her accompanist for her voice exam. Therefore I'll be taking my spa on wednesday. Hearing from my classmates, it seems like it's a tough one!! Anyway, I got to leave school earlier! (: Chinese oral was terrible. Really really terrible. But violin lesson after that was long... 1 and a half hours. It was long for me since I was really tired. Heh. I played bach chromatic fantasie and fugue for my teacher today!! She requested for it. Hee. Still made a few mistakes though, not used to the piano! Basically, there's lots of polishing to do for mendelssohn. So I guess next sunday's finals will just be a chance for me to have some exposure!! My aim is to just make sure I don't embarrass myself. Also, this would be the last violin competition I'm joining!! I'm too lousy to join anymore competitions. Unless a miracle happens and... yeah. Just pray that God will give me the strength this 2 weeks to manage my time and more importantly do what's right and never forget to praise Him and thank Him for his grace to me. (:
The 4 of us! Christie, Yushi, Chrstine and me!! We were watching the music with friends video. I think we were watching our own trio. Hehhh. Had a great time. (:

Hi. I just got woken up by ze's call. Seems like she's back from a fairytale lifestyle while I have been hmmm.... suffering? Heh. Today was a.. very messy day for me. But yesterday was really fun!!

Yesterday after half studying half practising, I went to my piano teachers house for a party!! Met up with Christine, Christie and Yushi to swim then had a cosy dinner. Reached home at 10.3 0 and slept immediately. Heeee.

Woke up at 8am. Rushed to pick my Aunt up then when to the competition area. At least they gave the competitors 10min to warm up first. (: Being the unlucky first competitor, I was mentally unprepared to play. Got up and played bach terribly and mendelssohn horribly too. Yup. Was chanting in my head "why am I playing so badly?" After me was a boy followed by 3 other competitors who were really really really impressive!!! I got out after the first half of the competition since I thought that there was no point watching the other competitors. Still feeling very dizzy after my disgusting playing, went to tcc with my mom for lunch. My mom was telling me that I will difinitely not get in and I was at the same time telling myself that too. Ohwell, I was quite happy when I assumed that I didn't get in! Can finally concentrate on my piano competition and my studies!! My mom was happy for me too and she brought my to Cnady Empire to buy some sweets to celebrate my failure! (:

Until, we decided to check out the results for fun, out of curiousity. Immediately when I saw my name, my mom and I screamed. Which followed by, I got scolded by my mom. First for wasting her money on the sweets and second for embarrassing myself. Besides her telling me how badly I played for the next hour, I was suffering from I don't know. Just felt very dizzy, troubled and worried. All the competitors from the first half and one competitor from the second half got in to the finals. So actually, getting in wasn't such a good thing after all. As I mentioned before, I'd rather not get in.

Sigh. Now I've got lots to do!

I changed my blogskin too!! I know, this blogskin doesn't fit me but it's cool!!

Somehow. (:

I'm rotting on my chair... worrying sooo much! For my fourth finger. It's definitely going to affect me tomorrow! This is badbadbad. VERYVERY BAD! I have a strong feeling that I'm going to anyhow play in pain tomorrow. Still, I can't believe I just played basketball again. I must be unconsciously stressed. Not for the competition! But I think for my studies? Or maybe both added up together. Well, I'm going to spend the rest of the day half practising half studying!

Anyway, my 4th finger is injured. ): I hope it'll get well REALLY soon!!! That's all for now, school's starting soon!

Wow, I had a very interesting day.. with a mixture of sadness and happiness. But more of sadness I guess. Firstly, I woke up really really early in the morning to prepare for the competition! I woke up at 7am!! Hehh. Then, my parents went to fetch ze who went to the competition to support me(: then went to opusone to practise for 10min then went to the competition venue. I was nervouse but not very nervous then... made a really big mistake for Beethoven (forgot that the piano was really loud on the low notes) and composed another chord for Bach Fantasie. For the fugue, I survived but was stopped by the judicator. Phew!! well, after me (2nd candidate) was Christine then Yu Shi. Actually, I thought Christine and Yu Shi played really really really well!! Although the results were very unexpected, I think that everyone tried their best already! (:

Saw this bird outside my house the other time. Cool? Chrstine! Yu Shi took it. Taken by yushi too!Yup, the children!! (: (my piano teacher kindly treated us for breakfast/lunch) heeee!

What a fun concert!!! I have to say that I really really enjoyed myself!! (: Everyone played really really well and I hope the audience enjoyed the concert too! Though I didn't play as well, I missed half a bar for the fugue and made 2 slips. And for the fantasie, I had to compose my own chord cause I actually forgot what chord it was! Besides, I really had fun and I guess I learned alot from this concert!!! And the coolest thing is that all the children (below 16) get to share the same dressing room. (: Which would be Chrsitie, YuShi, Christine and me! (:

Christine and Christie. (:Christine and I. (: And obviously taken by Christie! Yu Shi and I!And all the children below 16 plus Hui Qi!

This concert is truly, MUSIC WITH FRIENDS!!!

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.
