Principal Study

I have no idea what i was busy with ... Yesterday's lesson was canceled by me , because i will be very late if i were to go , and then , it will make YanYu wait ...

Today's chinese performance class , we listened to quite a few . I was very tired ... so i almost fell asleep . Next week , it'll be my turn ... What to play ? Ode to River Wei ?

Today was kinda tired . Yesterday i counted the number of CDs i bought recently . Usually a CD would cost around $15 , so if im not wrong ... ive spent around more then $250 ... because i bought 21 CDs . Or isit my maths got problem again ... ? U count better ...

I entered class with everyone including lecturer laughing . Thats good , because i brought along joy ! The main reason was because i was ' late ' , everyone is early , and i didnt comb my hair , because i was in a rush . Till now , my hair is in a mess ...

History was kinda fun ... Interesting . Sonatas , Concertos and Sinfonias ... so complicating . There is more ...

I found out that i only have 27 hour free for practice and study in a week . That is too little ... and most of the time now is spent in the computer lab . Because , the practice rooms were all full ... so sad .

Tonight i'll die at YanYu's house .

Eye Bags

Yesterday i forgot to bring money out ... so i borrowed from quite a number of people ...

I owe so many people money !

I just came back from dinner with Fairul . Fairul plays the euphonium ... the mini-tuba ... funny . Nobody knows what an euphonium is ... funny ... Then after that i visited the National Library . Its a total mess there ... i dun like it there . Im now so tired after walking back ... stupid library .

Yesterday i got threatened ... by a terrorist in class ... very scary ... this mysterious girl ... so dangerous . Help me ... Yanya and XueMin also got threatened , but im considered the victim .

Im very sleepy ... and im freezing . Think i'll start hybernating now ...

There are so many homeworks to do ... and i havent done them yet ! I was rushing in the library ... and i only managed to complete the ... reading and the composer profiles .

I bought 2 more CDs ... one of them is a New-Age pipa concert , featuring modern music ... pipa and electrical music ...

Boring Day

Though its still actually quite early ... i must as well blog . Because i think im going home early today . Really tired yesterday ... luckily today's lesson starts at 11 . Its choir ... its kinda fun ... but kinda boring and tiring ... lots of silly jokes by TohChai ... but its still worth it ...

Chinese Ensemble ... so boring ...

Yesterday i bought my BeiJing Pipa nails ... its really nice ... i havent try it out yet .

Supposingly ... i should be practicing now . However , the rooms were selling like hot cakes , tomorrow's slots are all booked already . That is just fast .

I have some other homeworks to do . Though how little it seem ... its actually quite alot ... im gonna die already .

My shirt stunk like onions again . Yanya one also ... because we ate at SunShine Plaza ... the food is cheap and nice ... but its just stinky after eating ... i mean the clothes .

Nothing special today ... just another boring day ...

My Reflection

Like i said ... this blog is revived . Meaning ... from now on ... i'll try to blog more often , hopefully ... everynight . If i dun blog ... its just gonna mean that i didnt come to NAFA to use the computer ...

Today ... supposingly ... i was going to NAFA to practice . Met LiuYan at NAFA . She was teaching the young talents ... i took my Pipa out from the room and wanted to settle in another room so i can practice . In the end , it all ended up like yesterday ... whole day using computer . But i was saved ... by WeiFeng . He say he treat Swensen's ... so ... no choice ... go eat ice-cream ! Ate quite alot ... im still quite full .

Not so easy ... its not just an ordinary day . In the end we , Kenny , PeiLing and WeiFeng , went to the KuanYin Temple ... because its her birthday . I told them it'll be a total chaos if i were to go ... because i wanted to go NAFA ... but they insisted that i go along ... so fine , i followed . I didnt know anything and everything i say will kinda offend the gods ... they know it ... but since they wanted me along ... then i hope they didnt regret it . It was very crowded ... and i paid my offerings ... and i prayed and stuff ...

Before that ... we went to Bras Basah ... then i bought another 4 CDs ... WeiFeng was sighing all the way .


Then after everything ... we went shopping . Shopping for all the Buddhism related stuffs . PeiLing brought quite alot . Then i was tired . However , i was the last one to finish my shopping ... i made everyone so tired . I went to hunt for some New-Age or Modernised Buddha Chants . I heard of plenty ... but i just cant find one that is suitable . Though many appealed to me , but i just find it hard to find . Then we heard the YanYu's CD ... the MIDIs are not that nice ... but she is so beautiful !

I've added some more new quizzes ...

Ive created a new blog ... its for all my better old poems ... and maybe if inspiration comes , for me new creations . I hope u guys will like it ...

Ive changed the song on this blog too ... its very nice , Suteki Da Ne . For the poetry blog , its a song that u guys should know ... i'll try to find the full version because that one got cut-off ... irritating ...

Ok ... thats it . No special inspirational thoughts for today . Im really tired . Though it seemed like i can blog forever ... but im still really tired . Im now listening to the new CDs i just bought . One of them sounds like shit ... i mean just not that nice ... not like what ive expected .

Sometimes , whateva u tell urself might not really be approved by ur own conscience . Things u say and things u try to preach and practice , sometimes it just doesnt get recognised by ur own soul , ur conscience . Things are already over , and i found my own happiness ... but when i hear something that i dun really want to hear , yet i wanna discover more , i just get a little weird . This feeling of blue just got over me . I tell myself its already an expired topic , and ive washed my hands off this dirty water ... but it just seems that once a while i'll still ponder over this specific subject . Its irritating ... Though the water will remain dirty , but i'll still stand over to see my reflection upon its surface . If nobody does something to purify it ... it'll forever remain dirty and i dun wish that to happen . Its eventual though ... inevitable .

The scars left by time will just never heal .

History

Its already 2 weeks in NAFA already ... i think ... i still got that sense of lost ... not lost in NAFA , or music ... just lost in time . Im gonna spend my precious 3 years here studying something im not sure whether i can apply in my performances in the future ... Everyone said go China ... but ... my standard is so poor ... theres no way i can even get through the audition there ...

There is a computer lab where i can use the computer to go online ! However , there is no MSN . So sad ... But at least i can go on Friendsters more often and maybe i'll start blogging if i have time ... or else i'll be typing reports and journal entries ...

Im freezing here in NAFA ... its so cold ... especially level 1 . Im wearing double layers everyday ... and maybe will an extra sweater . Its an ACS sweater that i bought 5 to 8 years ago . Its an 'S' size . Obviously i cannot wear it , but i still can use it to keep myself warm . I found it recently in my drawer , under piles of under-sized clothings ...

Im such a good boy . I cleared my books and cleaned my room ! But ... its still dusty and still kinda messy ... but ... bravo for the job well done ... at least ...

A dull colour painted my moods over these few weeks . The thought of starting from scratch really put me down to where i was before . The concepts , the notions , the ideas and the plans were all different now . Somethings just come naturally like how a chord should sound , but now everything is theoratical . Everything now becomes a study or forms of studies on a random topic . Animals ... lets say eagles ... we know that they have lighter bones and feathers which enable them to soar higher in the sky , they have claws for tearing their preys , they have good eye-sight for spotting poor little rabbits ... but , does the eagle know that it has all that ability ? No , things just come naturally ... Only dumb-bells like Human will complicate things and make things more sophisticated then it already is . Human just wanna reach higher , find ever-ending knowledge to everything , to find the wisdom that they seek ... meaning ... nothing will ever satisfy their thirst for their quests and exploration . Everything that we are studying now are things that are discovered or created from the past ... theories ... concepts ... formulae ... notions .

Im stating this in a very informal tone by the way ...

My point is ...

Its all Mozarts and that who-ever's fault ! If they were to pick up ballets and dancing ... there wont be a need for us to study music now ! And its so bloody confusing some of the stupid concepts ... But if they havent done something like that ... there wont be much about music that will attract us to study it ... How i wish im the creator of music ... then i can whateva i want ...


I'll always leave my lectures with aplenty of stars shining around me ... My eyes will go blur and i'll see plenty of stars going around ... Because im a shining star ! Joking ... its because i dun understand the lecture sometimes ... when they talk abt whateva violin concerto ... then trios ... then some Schubert ... or Beethoven and stuff ... then whateva 1689 to 1735 or something or some musical events ... or some italian opera houses ... some chorale ... or some church music ... or maybe some french overtures ... some scherzos ... or some suites ... And of course ... the Bachs ... J.S.Bach , and plenty of his sons of brothers or fathers ... all the Bachs ... so many !

We are history . We are in fact creating history for the future . I will do something that will let the people in the future to study about ! Make them suffer ! Study my works ! Study me as a character , a musician , a composer or such ...

Blog

Im now at WeiFeng's house . My computer has just confirmed its break down . It now cannot function properly ... great ... now the songs i composed will be trapped in that computer forever !

Today i performed at SunTec ... for the Centennial Symphony ... it was really horrible . The orchestra was like ... shit ... because audience was noisy and the sitting arrangement was horrible ... really ...

I took a picture with Kathryna ... i dunno how to spell her name ... She's the Harp player in SSO . She is so cool ...

Im really tired now ... have to help do some stuff for YouGuo's recital tomorrow ... thats why staying over at WeiFeng's house ...
