2 weeks since i last blogged. hahs.=x Let's blog about my past 2 weeks bah.(:


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..


Examiner: "Please put your book on the piano"

Me: *Lift up the lid of the upright piano*

Examiner: "Nono~~!! put...that..*points at my book*..on the piano"

Me: "Ohhh..*put back down the piano lid*"


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.(:
Hmm, predictions for my Grade 7 piano exam..
Pass: Pretty sure.
Merit: Possibility.
Distinction: Depends on my aural marks.(Tsk!!)


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
Went out with my whole family yesterday, past by this shop randomly at Thomson Plaza..bought these two postcards. Very motivating and meaningful.=DD



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)

IDOL||

Maksim Mrvica

Photobucket

Born in Sibenik, a small, but beautiful medieval town on Croatia’s Adriatic Coast, the odds seemed stacked against Maksim achieving his dream.

It wasn’t long before it became obvious to Maksim’s teachers that he had a rare talent and the boy was enrolled in Sibenik state music school.

Thereafter, Maksim won his first ever competition in 1993.

The judge stopped the competition after his performance without even considering the other contestants, and announced him as the winner at the age of 18; merely 9 years after learning piano.
