Hungry and in need of a toilet...

Location: 101 classroom computer
Mood: Hungry (again)
Just did: Random improvisations on the piano

Oh goodness, my last post was ALSO before MEP? Why do I find that amusing?

I heard a familiar piece of music on the radio today! But I just couldn't place it. WHAT WAS IT?!! I'm dying from not knowing! Hm, let me go re-listen to all the music on emusic.

Mmhm, I just started my new novel. It's in a NOTEBOOK! And it's really neat compared to my other ones. Ah well. Just beginning; on page 5 right now.

I think I wanna surf randomly now. There's about 20 minutes until my father comes to fetch me. I just read his tribute to a friend who just died. I have to say it was really sad and well-written...hm.

So...I shall leave again. MEP is fun. The duet is going well. :D

Random post after MEP

Location: 310 classroom computer
Mood: hungryyy
Just did: practiced or piano duet

Yupyup we have to do a piano duet for our practical exam! I'm not new to it; my sis used to learn duet pieces with me, but she wasn't too cooperative. And I always got the harder part. Haha. Now she's stopped learning the piano, though.

So I revisit duets this year (and next, if I continue MEP). I will be playing Ballet, number 4 from Petit Suite by Debussy with Yan Ping. Aaaaaaaah it's NEXT MONTH and I haven't even showed it to my piano teacher yet!!!!!!!!! I am going to die.

Duets are fun! Coordinating with your partner is both the most fun and the most frustrating thing about it. Funny that this is true of so many things, hm? The most fun thing is also the hardest/frustrating.

Hahaha now for a short rant.

Rant no. 1
Why is Sobriquet Nightmare such a nitpicker, with impossibly high taste?!?! I can never please that guy. The closest I ever came was with this long piece of crap called Shadow of the Pendulum. And even then, he complained about the names of my characters (which I would complain about too, actually)!

Someday, I will write a piece of writing that will please that person. But I hope I will do it inadvertently.

Rant no. 2
WHY oh why did the school suddenly block FanFiction.net?!?!?!?! It's not fair. NOT FAIR! Now I have to post at home. AND I CAN ONLY DO THAT ON WEEKENDS NOOOOOOOO

That felt good. Ahhhhh. Time to work on my newest fanfic now. I'm putting a lot of heart into this one. Bye!

Oh the HORROR

Location: Desktop at home
Mood: The mood you feel when you've worked hard on something and it's all wasted
Just did: Typed Of the Dragon, of the Stars

The mood says it all. I just lost two subchapters of my story, because my MP3 Player-thumbdrive crashed, and I didn't back it up enough. Thankfully, I managed to save most of it. But TWO SUBCHAPTERS is about 6 days of work. 12 hours in total. Oh man.

Well, I've managed to type a lot of it back. I feel so...ah, GRARR that I let such a thing happen. Had to redo the emotional chapter all over again, and it isn't easy remembering those emotion descriptions. Those come to you at that moment in time, you know. It's very hard to do it right the second time round.

Enough whining. I don't have much else to say. I've got to sleep now, so I sign off here.

LOL American Idol 8!

Location: Still the same as previous post
Mood: Same
Just did: Posted

Hahaha

Adam Lambert Danny Gokey Allison Iraheta FTW! They'll be the top three. Anoop is good, but his previous performance was sorta off. Don't care about all the rest, really.

Haha yeah I watch AI :D

I love YME

Location: New laptop, upstairs
Mood: Stomach-ache-y
Just did: Downloaded from emusic.com

YEAHH! I think this year is gonna be loads better than last year. I mean, YME ROX! All we have to do is write Chinese pop songs, 2 per pair. The only hard part will be the lyrics, but I think it's possible to do it, even with my ultra-low proficiency...

We're having lessons at Lee Wei Song School of Music; went there yesterday. Know what? My mother was thinking of getting me to join it last year. But turns out I had to anyway :D And I'm happy. These people are the top CPop composers in Singapore, man!

It's just too bad I have so little background, compared to the other four. I hardly listen to CPop, but I hope I can manage. First lesson was like a simplified MEP lesson, but with more generic terms that don't take expertise in theory to understand.

YAY I've already got a few ideas for songs! I think I'll go write them down, and set English lyrics to one or two, maybe :D I can't wait for next week's lesson!

Today was Good Friday. The service in church was 2 hours long...hard to pay attention during the super-long prayer. But I got through it, heh. It was quite interesting; met some of the more interesting personalities in the church...

Oh yes, I just created the 100 question meme! AF and HT did it, and I LOVED their responses :D They really have a way of making everything so FUNNY!! And best thing is, it's one hundred questions long :)

In fact, it looked so fun that I started doing it myself! I'm at question 75 right now. Oof, Shakespeare had to eat Mona Lisa (the painting) somewhere in there...

I think I will be going now. Got more music to download :D

Just did: Gave the main character of "Lapis Lazuli" a name

Yup, you might have noticed the new design of my blog. I'm gonna make it nicer when I find the time. Looking to change the font next. Look forward to it!

Tagged from CrapPishh/Nic :D

Location: 310 classroom computer
Just did: MEP lesson!
Mood: Ache-y

Haha, for those I haven't told, Nic (actually Nicole) is a friend I made *gasp* online, on FanFiction.net! We're like the only two female writers there. Met her thrice, so (for those of you who are super paranoid) she can be trusted. Of course, there's always those paranoid people around you who would discourage this sort of stuff...but I don't care la.

Yup, anyway, I got this wonderful personality quiz from her!

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

It's interestingly accurate...so this is what it says:

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.


Comment: Well...sweet, I dunno. But I guess I am cheerful, as long as I've had enough sleep the day before.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.

Comment: Uh...LOL? I don't know. Will keep this in mind, though, if ever necessary...

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

Comments: Well. Really? Okay, that makes things easy...LOL...

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Comments: Haha. Hahaha. Mirrors what the previous one said...

Your views on education:

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

Comments: No! Weird...I don't really care much about education...

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

Comments: True, true. Many dream jobs.


How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

Comments: Yeah...I guess so. But yet again, I'm not really that confident...

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Comments: Very true. How'd they know?!

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Comments: I think this is true! Very, very interesting xD

LOL! It's pretty accurate! But man, I don't know anything about whether the love stuff is accurate, though, so...LOL.

Anyway you know, don't you find it irritating when they play nice music on the radio, and don't tell you the title? It happens a lot on Symphony 92.4FM. Well, I once heard a very nice piece of music on the radio, and I recorded it with my handphone. Trouble is, the sound quality is horrible, and I won't ever know anything about the piece other than the music itself...

yeah. It's happened about 3 other times, with three other pieces of music. HEARTBREAK

(I love music that much)

And so one day I was looking through emusic's collection--my father's birthday present was 50 downloads :D I was vewy happy and went to search all my fave composers (Debussy, Ravel, Turina, Piazzolla etc.), and began downloading their music like (almost) crazy.

And I actually found MY PIECE OF MUSIC! The one I handphone-recorded from the radio. It was purely coincidental; I didn't even intend to find it.I actually downloaded it without knowing how it sounded. BUT I FOUND IT AT LAST, AND I WAS SO HAPPYYYY!!!

It is Danzas Fantasticas: Orgia by Joaquin Turina. happiness again :D:D

*impromptu celebration*

Well, yeah. I AM SOO HAPPY, I repeat. Now I've gotta find "nice violin, cello and piano trio" and "chinese-like classical music". Those are the names we gave. Sooo original, don't you think?

Yeah, okay. I think I should be going now; mother coming to fetch me in 15 minutes. bye!
