School's starting tmr!!!

Answer revealed: Curtis.

Okay.

something made me choose a thriller/scientific/mystery/mathematical story over a romantic one. Hmm... i wonder how come im so troubled by this choice. previously i wld have gone for the thriller just like -that-, but now. sighs. getting sentimental already. haha.

School's starting tmr. Ive totally wasted these three days doing almost nothing. Ha. save for going out and also doing accompaniment. heh. but tmr, getting back the prelim results, eeks. not fun. but seriously, i cant wait to go back to school, where things are much simpler than the world outside.

yar right.

And so, compo and harmony portfolios by next friday ie 7 oct. Is it any surprise that we are all suddenly panicking? anyway does 'panicking' have a k? so i've recorded my first compo too, which makes it 3 out of 3 recordings. except i need to get rid of the hiccups in sea fever, and need to do something abuot the bad intonation and rhythm of my quartet, but all in all, im done with my compos. but. i have a feeling if anything goes wrong, it would be my portfolio. a big slap in my face for not putting in more effort for exam fantasy, im hoping the recording can do some good. actually. do i care. even if i dun get an A for compo surely prac will pull me up?

yar and there goes higher music distinction. haha.

do i care.

yes. sighs

piano strings are very dirty. and pianos are made too low for people to bend over and pluck the strings. they shld do something about the piano, maybe make one kind just nice for people to pluck.

strings should have different colours too. or else you will have to mark them all. haha.

the joys of compo. heh.

Ah ravel... so beautiful... not him but his music... sheez. and perplex too. erm that includes him as well. to quote him: "You see, an artist has to be very careful when he wants to marry someone, because an artist never realizes his capacity for making his companion miserable. He's obsessed by his creative work and by the problems it poses. He lives a bit like a daydreamer and it's no joke for the woman he lives with. One always has to think of that when one wants to get married."

And he's right. I know personally, he's damn right. we music people can sometimes be the insensitive, irresponsible, and totally untolerable brats. this attitude i carry has cost me dearly, and i'm glad i learnt that lesson.

perhaps, one day, i'll be proven wrong, and ravel will turn in his grave. but. until that one day comes, i'm going to accept my fate and stay the way it is now. time and time again, i've been reminded of the previous time, the previous time, the previous times. and now i see ravel's own words, albeit translated, and how true.

i should learn from tchai. if you know what i mean.

when will that one day come...
