The Ring

Danial is telling me things about karma now . And he thinks that i dunno what karma is . Well , ive always talked about retribution , now its time to talk about how it actually works . Karma somehow belongs to ... Hinduism and Buddhism , and its something that acts like a precaution for us from doing harm to others . I'll talk about karma later ...

For now , i'll talk about school . And today , i missed aural class , and i know Yohanna will be so pissed , because i know ive given her enough trouble these few weeks . Firstly , there's my father ... in the hospital and then a day when im sick , and another which is my concert this March . Well , but no matter how many classes i couldnt attend , i went for a replacement class . And for that , i think my attendance is still safe . But its no good to go for replacement classes all the time . Ive been for a few already ...

Went for the performance class , and it was very funny . Then MrYeo told me to give comments , but i always just reply him with a ... not bad or very good . And he knows that i always say that , so today he somehow told me off . He told me that a musician has to know how to criticise other's in order for themselves to improve ... And i thought , i do know . I know what i wanna say ... but its just that i dun really want to say it out , because they're afterall my schoolmates , i'll feel weird criticising them . Though its for our own good , i know , but its still not really comfortable to hear them from ur friends . Well ... thats how life is . And after the performance class , im ... so relieved .

After class , i waited outside as i scanned my card ... i ate one of Dedric's buns , because im really hungry . My hair was in a mess today , i had this just woke up look . Then Fairul combed my hair for me , and he asked if i washed me hair . Anyway , so now im telling u guys . Im using this horse shampoo ... i know it sounds weird . Its meant for the tail and mane of a horse , thus its kinda good and strong . So , im using it ...

Had class with DrTan , and she brought us to this art gallery at the other campus . And the art pieces were nice , all acrylic painted . But his acrylic paintings has this texture of an oil painting . Anyway , his speech and his answers to the questions ... really inspired me . Well , he's right , an artist should make his artwork to his own image as his own style . So , if we see a certain painting , we'll know its done by him . Likewise in music , we should play a piece according to our style , and not let too much of the traditional structures and styles . Like YangWei , this virtuoso Pipa player , he has his own style . Judging from his tone , i can tell that its played by him . Another Pipa player will have to be ... ZhangQiang , who plays very cleanly .

After that i went to recital hall and took the scores from Sharon . This time the title has been changed to 'Solitude' . Anyway , they were having the composition test , but i couldnt watch , because i'll have tutorials at that time . So , DrKan was late ... but she managed to finish everything . Firstly , she gave us this score from Mozart's Opera ... and its just an Aria . And , we sang it to ourselves , meanwhile , i filled in the forms for my history score-reading scores , and the history presentation project . Other than that ... i kinda looked through the scores ... and its high-order-thinking questions ... and trust me , its hard to understand them . The answers that DrKan gave was ... really short and simple , its the questions that are tough and hard to understand . She phrased it in a very highly intelligent way . Well , before that ... she told us the story of the Opera . And its really complicating ... the Opera is titled ... 'The Marriage of Figaro' in English . But the story isnt much about Figaro , who is a male servant of this count . A count is a nobleman having rank equal to a British earl . An earl is a British peer ranking below a marquess and above a viscount . And a marquess is ... stop , this will never end . Well , u guess it urself ... Anyway , the relationships between the count , countess Rosina ... and Figaro and his fiancee , who is the servant of the countess . The count is a philanderer , thus he likes to flirt around and of course ... the countess isnt very happy about that . So , the count has an eye for Susanna , who is the fiancee of Figaro ...

Anyway , Mozart collaborated with Lorenzo DaPonte , who is the finest librettist of his time . The Opera was actually based on this play by Augustin Beaumarchais , which had caused a sensation in Europe at its premiere . The Opera was premiered back in 1786 , on the 1st of March . Anyway the Italian title is ... ' Le Nooze di Figaro ' .

Enough with the Opera ... DrKan was very weird today , she was sarcastic as usual and very ... playful and funny . She played us a piece before we ended the tutorial . She didnt play the Piano ... she played the ... CD , on Kiri and she sung an Aria from the Opera . It was ... nice ... right ...

After that , we had nothing on . A few of us went to eat ... and after that , i came back to school and i went through Sharon's scores . It was ... hard ... and i think some parts has to be changed , because i dun think i can manage to play it in time . So , its either she has to change the notes , or else i'll have to practice hard to get the rhythm . Its not really that tough ... but its quite out of the ordinary Pipa scoring .

Other than that , i went to play at the computer lab with SiHan and Danial joined us . He was making so much noise ... and me too , i was shouting 'wait !' for dunno what reasons . Im always like that ... i cant take it when people excite me . Like even in LAN games ... and so , Danial was playing with me . Royce also knows about my favourite shouting word while playing games ... Anyway , had fun ... then after that ... left with SiHan , YongRui and Fhairil . We took a cab to SiHan's place .

Fhairil is good in harmonising the melodies i play . And he is good in improvisation . While waiting for a cab , Fhairil bought NasiLemak . And me , who is on a diet , bought a drumstick . At SiHan's place , there wasnt much to do . We watched TV while SiHan ate his noodle , and Fhairil sat on the floor eating his own's . Then ... we went home .

I told Fhairil about Jane , and only he knows ... because im bored , so i told him . Anyway , im lazy to talk about it also . Its nothing much ... and u wont lose out not knowing , so dun ask me .

Chatting with Jeremy now , gonna meet him in school tomorrow . I visited Dad just now , and i accidentally took his ring and i kinda did something to it . Its this weird ring , which ... is made up of 4 different rings , joint together . So , i detached the ring from its form ... and now , its not a ring anymore . So tomorrow , i'll bring to school and hope that Jeremy can do something about it . I tried for a while ... in fact for the whole night ... and i cannot figure how to fix it back ... Well , headache already ... so , hopefully somebody can help . Anyway , i took the ring from the table , without his knowledge of me taking it . Well , i dun think that he'll be needing it anymore , so i shall keep it for myself . Im not selfish ... im just taking a part of him with me , and i want that ring for myself as a part of him with me . There's nothing else of him that belongs to me ... it all belongs to that bitch . And time is running out ... i must talk to him , and make sure he's aware of this bitch . I shall expose her ... but no open confrontation , because ... the consequences are unbearable . This ring , is special , because he wore it from dunno since when ... Anyway , im gonna dig out his pictures with me , last time or recent , and keep it for myself ... during the next visit ...

Jane is a cunning vixen . Couldnt have much of a chance to talk to Dad because she was around ... tomorrow , shall be a showdown . And trust me , it'll create quite a havoc . Anyway , going to get my webcam tomorrow also ... So , good luck for me tomorrow ... really need it . Pray hard people ...

I almost forgot to blog about karma , and actually i did forget to , so now im here to edit this ... and add this part into the blog entry and make it ... longer and of course ... more boring than it already is . Here goes ...

Karma is the effects of a person's actions that determine his destiny in his next incarnation . Retribution is a justly deserved penalty , or the act of correcting one's wrongdoings . So , retribution and karma are 2 totally different thing . Retribution is an act for correcting someone , and it comes as a lesson ... But karma is something that will predestine ur next life , which is already a penalty that cannot be ... any lighter than it already is . U cannot change ur karma , but u only can change ur life in order to create a better karma for urself . Im lazy to talk about it now anyway ... because im really tired ... So , next time .
