"Hope is a waking dream."
---Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
exams are over? so what's the big deal? i seriously don't feel anything. joy? no. relieve? no. happiness? no. numb? yes. why does it all not make such a huge difference to my life? i need a life. in search of one!
okay, skew lines. anyway, should recap my past few days. thursday was really crappy. harmony paper was... i don't know what to say. just used like a million primary chords. looked so easy. but i think there's some hidden trap in it. to mark me down. it was just a simple modulation from C major to G major. typical Haydn. and the german 6th chord was just so obvious. can't be so simple. i know it can't be. but the construction work outside the music centre was just driving me bananas. wanted to complain. but then just decided to leave it. i must say it really affected me because this was the only harmony paper where i had just enough time. practical was crazy. i was so nervous that everything turned upside down. plus i wasn't focused at all! maybe it's because of all the drilling going on outside. it was terrible. and dearest jeremy did me a great favour by turning pages for me. the wrong page at the wrong time. haha. only once. but it totally cracked me up. i was giggling to myself till the end of the movement. thank God it was the last movement of the last piece. jeremy, not blaming u ya? so don't blame yourself. i screwed up the prelims myself. thanks for pg turning for me! really, thanks! =) i must say that the madams were pretty nice and kind to me after the performance. they just told me to keep going. KEEP GOING!
then my classmates called me to tell me that they're going to invade orchard yet again. we went to marsches this time. they totally succeeded in dragging me there. reluctance was my inertia. i've eaten there a million times. just quite sick of the food. shared a pizza with amels. and it tasted quite good! then ate the strawberry crepes with vanilla brownie ice cream. (stop drooling!) yummy! it was great! it was quite a small group. but it was really fun. mark, amels, nick poa, debs, nicol, david charles and me! the topics of our conversation swayed from drama serials to people's eyebrows. it was hilarious! rich old Nicol then led us to kino to get his book, and then to taka to buy his chocolates! rich people really can afford to be extravagant. i wish i was as rich as he is. it's quite funny when people talk about him getting rich in the future, and he'll just retort, "i'm already rich. i don't have to get rich." it's just so cute, and not arrogant. it's probably the way he says it. nicol is so cute, like a teddy bear. haha. before he sits on me, i better shut up. =p
at night, i went for the chamber masterclass. and learnt a lot. really a lot. glad i went. i'm really happy that AC's faure quintet got into the concert on saturday, which is tmr, oh, no, it's today. really proud of them! well done guys! =) i then trudged home along. so sad. had to drag myself to the mrt station to take train. but i treated myself to mrs. fields since their muffins were only going at $2. i grabbed the double chocolate muffin. sinful? yes. but who cares?! actually, i do care, but i think i'll work it off. i think. =p
today, as in friday, was damn fun! even though i wandered around for like an hour in taka. looking for teacher's day stuff. realised that all the teacher's day cards were all so cliche. thus, i bought like 10 thank you cards in a pack kind. decided to decorate it myself and make it original! =) the creative me.
then i met jon and we were walking around aimlessly too. jon's brain was dead after two papers. and my brain was rusty after too much slacking and rest. so we just couldn't decide where to go. we were like, left or right? straight ahead or backwards? coffee bean or coffee club express? we ended up at coffee club. on the way to coffee club, i wanted to show Jon the Steinway showroom. and i met my ex piano teacher there! what a coincidence. she still remembers me! she even said that she met mrs wilson at some steinway conference and they spoke of me. gosh. that's quite scary. wished her "happy tcher's day". it was quite funny. she's still as nice as ever. =) then at coffee club, Jon ate cheesecake and tea while i had mocha. think the coffee there is really good. anyway, the focus of the coffee club trip was that we met DEYANA!!!!!! jon's senior from nj, 1st 3 months and my senior from TK! i was overjoyed to see her. deyana and i were like, XIN YI!!!! and DEYANA!!!! and we exchanged hugs. haha. and jon shakes his head, mumbling to himself, "girls..." hope we didn't embarass u jon. =p
dinner was at lido, topmost level. with the addition of emerald. we were catching "freaky friday" at 7.30pm. anyway, freaky friday was really cool. great show. it'll crack you up totally. great stress reliever! we were all damn satisfied with the show. cool flick. you people should go catch it!
today was really a "chill out" day for me. had a great time with Jon and emerald.
you know what i realised? i need a life. can't afford to keep watching sesame street. lala lala elmo song! ok, out of point, skew lines. but i think daniel got what i mean. =p
