Today's my 2nd public performance at AMKHub.(: The experience was great as i've improved quite alot as compared to my 1st ever public performance which i screwed up alittle. I was also kinda both shocked and surprised when i reached the venue of my performance. When i opened the door of Cristofori Music School, my initial reactions were like.."what the o.o!!" and "oh my goooodness~". There were around 10 of my relatives there..before me, and without informing me. Appreciate em for being soo~ supportive.=))
My performance pieces were Claudine and Croatian Rhapsody..both by Maksim.hahs.(:
Me-Jermaine after my performance.(:
2nd Aunt: Thanks for bringing me up when i'm a small little kid who's always mischievous. If not for you, i wouldn't be striving so hard to pursue my dreams and my music career. I wouldn't have found your organ in your room if i wasn't taken care after by you. Thanks for all your unconditional help and love.
Mom: From the time that i jumped on your bed and treated your bolster as a mic..to..the time when you tricked me by acting dead and leaving me screaming to tears. From the time we would exchange our imaginary coins during dinnertimes..to..those goodnight kisses you never fail to give me when i'm a small little kid. When one loves you despite your shortcomings, you'll not hesitate but to love her even more. You're the one, and always the best. Thanks.
Learn to appreciate..
For my unconditional love for you is and will always be alive.

Today's post will be quite short, i gotta have sufficient sleep for tmr's piano performance.(:
My preparations for the audition of Lasalle have been pretty good so far. Just finished one of the projects assigned for the audition. Hahs, i've to answer this weird question; "Are waffles really better than pancakes?" They said it's a test for your creativity. *Raise eyebrows and nodes head cheekily*
Evening with a total orange sky is a rare one, and today's evening is one of em. It's just sooo~~ charming.=DD
A super clear rainbow with another faint rainbow on e right.
what a beauty.C:
At e attic's balcony..
..failed to take e full rainbow.tsk.
sky that is half orange and half blue.awesome.=))
Concluding my day.. It's quite surprising that i feel quite relaxed for my performance tmr. No anxiety, or whatsoever. Perhaps, it's because of my performance experiences.(:
12:55 AM
Those who are curious about my performance pieces..i'll be performing two pieces by my idol pianist; Maksim Mrvica.=)) One Rhapsody, one Romantic.(hahs, shall leave it in the suspense until after my performance!!)
There's this wonderful piece, again by Maksim(haha), called Cubana Cubana. This masterpiece by Maksim was nearly one of my performance pieces, if not for the speed of the piece and lots of difficult fingerings.
Fast and inspiring ehh?=D
Hmm..as the month of March comes to an end, which means more busy.tsktsk.
2) Get ready for audition of Nafa.
3) Freelance piano teachings: Angeline, etc.
4) Preparations for Grade 8 next year.
6) Anticipating any further piano performances/competitions.

The week before last was quite a busy one for me as i've my Grade 7 piano exam. The venue of my piano exam is at a music sch called Musikinder Artskool. Initially, it looked more like a kindergarden rather than a music sch due to those small chairs for kids. Quite a cool and tranquil place it is..if not for the peaceful music playing in e background, i bet i'd had been pretty nervous before my exam.=) Wells, especially this song named "You Raised Me Up" by Josh Groban. It brings back memories of my grandpa, missing him.:C
My piano exams went pretty well, quite funny too. There's this moment, i don't know how and why but it happened. After finishing my exam pieces..
Damn embarrassing luh, my piano teacher was like laughing all the while when i told her about that. She told me this which i find it very true(hahs!!).."你是去那里考试还是去那里搞笑?" It's very obvious that i live up to e nicks that my sec sch friends call me Spongebob and Patrick..me and my kukuness.(:
Last week was the most busy one. Went to register for both Nafa and Lasalle, 12th of March is a damn tiring day for me; spent a total of 4 hrs plus applying and registering for the auditions.=x
So beautiful..
So cool..
First postcard:
Psalm 23:1-6
A Psalm Of David
The Lord Is My Shepherd
I Have Everything I Need
He Lets Me Rest In Green Meadows
He Leads Me Beside Peaceful Streams
He Renews My Strength
He Guides Me Along Right Paths, Bringing Honour To His Name
Even When I Walk Through The Dark Valley Of Death
I Will Not Be Afraid, For You Are Close Beside Me
Your Rod And Your Staff Protect And Comfort Me
You Prepare A Feast For Me In The Presence Of My Enemies
You Welcome Me As A Guest, Anointing My Head With Oil
My Cup Overflows With Blessings
Surely Your Goodness And Unfailing Love Will Pursue Me
All The Days Of My Life And I Will Live In The House
Of Lord Forever
Second postcard:
God's Rainbow
Rainbows Appear After Mighty Storms,
When Things Look Their Very Worse,
Just When The Skies Are Darkest Grey,
Look For The Rainbow First.
The Rainbow Is A Sign Of God's Promise,
That He Will Guide Us Through Any Storm,
That He Will See Us Through All Our
Troubles, No Matter What Their Form .
When You Feel Battered By Life's Storm,
And You Filled With Doubt And Dismay,
Just Remember God's Rainbow Is Coming -
It's Only A Prayer Away.
Reminder: My 2nd public performance: 22nd March, 2.30pm at AMKHub Cristofori Music School(Level 3)

Having my nerdy specs on, squatting at one corner of my home and with two earpieces attached, i was curious why my mom like that song so much..so, i went to listen through my discman. Thereafter, i was so obsessed with it that i listened to that song over, and, over..and..over again. In fact, i like that song so much that i totally skipped my dinner listening to it.
Then, i was overwhelmed by another childhood memory. When i was a small little kid, my mom always like to shop at JUST..so, i and my sister would accompany her. Well, at e end of e day, she always complain that it's a hassle to bring me and my sister out with her..but, hahs, we always get to go out with my mom. Wondering why it's a hassle? Read on.(:
After entering JUST shop, me and my sister would run about and chase each other. I'd go running and hiding behide those clothes, so naughty we were that some of the clothes hangers dropped on the floor.(should i use e word "most"? hahs) The best thing is that the auntie who was e shopkeeper ignored and let us continue playing.=D We were so enthu into our playings that we'll only leave the shop until my mom starts to leave the shop. Hahas..then, there goes the dressing-down from my mom.=x
Oh well..what a nice song; 'Lemon Tree', me and my mom's favs!
