Today, I took my first guitar exam ever and I screwed it up. Grade 5 ABRSM. Was so nervous that I fumbled once or twice in all my three pieces, and then I forgot almost half the scales I was tested. For the sight-reading part, I am very sure that I was cheated of my 30 seconds to prepare because when he asked me to start, I actually finished reading one line only. One line!!! Pukes blood. And as for aural...haha. I am not optimistic. I feel bad for wasting Mich's time because she gave me a whole crash course on Saturday during sectionals but now I am probably going to fail.
But before I entered the examination room, Kevin made a bet with me. If I fail this time, he will pay for me to retake the exam, and if I pass, I'll treat him to Sakae Sushi haha. So I am actually not that depressed about how I screwed up.
The examiner was a young angmoh guy. He smiled a lot. A lot a lot a lot. But you never know whether he is the 笑里藏刀 kind of person, as Kevin's other students said. Haha.
Okay no more guitar exam to be stressed about already :) |

Went to funan with my dad and bought my new laptop today :) It's an Acer laptop and it's damn ugly. My dad says it looks like one of those kiddy toy laptops they sell at Toys R Us -_- Haha whatever, I'm happy as long as it doesn't die on me. No drinks or any other liquids allowed anywhere near my laptop from now on!
Dad drove me to meet Junwei after that and I realised that he really hates Jwei. I really haven't seen Jwei for so long, and his hair is as gray as ever, but at least I think he didn't grow any taller. He brought me to this open air stage thing at Clarke Quay...and two of us just sat there and played guitar and I practised my exam pieces a bit. He's still as pro as last time. I don't think I'll ever be able to play Sunburst.
Then we went to meet the others for lunch at Waraku...followed by a long walk from Clarke Quay to Marina Square to play pool haha. Made Jwei carry my guitar all the way since he wanted me to bring it. And on the way we behaved like tourists and wanted to take a lot of photos in front of the parliament house haha. Anyway my pool skills have deteriorated to the point of no return.
L-R: Sok, Kelvin, Geoffrey, Miaozheng, Jwei, Me, Christine, Melinda
Watched Dark Knight with the usual guys and Jingxian after that and I freaked out a lot of times in the show. I hate the clown face :( After the movie, I slipped and fell on my way to LS's car and left him stunned for a while hahahahaha. What the heck how I wished the floor could just open up and swallow me there and then. So paiseh can?! Damn I need to stop falling down all over the place la :'( LS kept laughing and I don't think he'll ever forget haha. Damnnnnn. And Mich and I were just saying on Sat night that we hate slippery floors because it's so easy to slip and fall and tadaa there I was, on the floor. -_-" Damnnnnn!!!
Actually I fell down twice yesterday, the first time was in front of Jwei at Marina Square :( Haha.
Oh LS gave me a new guitar case just now! :) It's a hard foam case and much lighter than my hard case now, which means I can finally carry my own guitar now without complaining too much haha :) Thanks LS :)
GUITAR EXAM TOMORROW. Uh oh... |

Genus chalet was fun! I lost my voice a few short hours after going there thanks to screaming and laughing so much at the arcade haha. Alex was the only dinosaur playing with all of us juniors, but seriously, the way he played, I think people also cannot tell that he's a dinosaur la hahah. Anw, I saw a total of four lizards at the chalet and all were very far from me. I heard a lot of lizards making noise but they didn't show face in front of me so it's okay. Haha :)
Went for genus prac in a half-dazed mode after that thanks to sleeping so little and now I am finally awake :) Have to go for work in a few hours again :( My last day at the clinic is this coming Thursday and I can't wait! Haha.
I am so dead for my guitar exam because I've only memorised one scale up to now. It's the next monday omg. Thank god the theory exam is still quite far away...
ZQ's commencement was yesterday...he came over to CFA to take photos with us after that and I kept playing with his graduation gown haha...Threw the sash over his head and then kept taking photos with his mortarboard and scroll like I was the one graduating haha. I also want to graduate...sigh. Three more years. Haha. Then all the dinosaurs started to call me penguin. It is all Alex's fault :'(
Sometimes I wish life was easier. |

After losing two handphones in two short weeks, I did another stupid thing on Monday night. I spilled liquid all over my laptop and it is now completely dead. Repair will cost more than 1k because spillage is not covered under warranty. I am pissed because my laptop was supposed to be freaking spill resistant and when I was asking the engineer about it yesterday, he said that only certain parts of the keyboard was spill resistant, not the whole thing. How come no one told me when I bought the laptop...And I bought it only because IBM is supposed to be damn tough one lor. Shit.
Am now using ZQ's laptop...haha. Very surprised that he actually dare to lend me, after all the damage I've done recently lol. I am taking very good care of it :)
Anyway, after checking my laptop yesterday...the engineer plucked out my hard drive from the laptop and said that it was the only undamaged thing left other than my battery. It's damn sad. Took half day leave today afternoon and went to simlim w ZQ to get the casing so that I can use it as an external hard disk...and also look around for a new laptop :( ZQ helped me assemble the hard disk already...and lost a screw in the process haha...but it's still sitting in the box...I don't dare to plug it in cos I'm really quite scared that it won't work. Bleh.
Dragged him to go shopping at junction 8 for a few while before going to the clinic...I got three new tops :) And I realise that I am not the only shopaholic lor. Haha.
Hmm and this week I finally went to do my eyebrows for the first time ever haha. Wah siao damn pain. It's crazy and sadistic self-inflicted torture. Pay to get all the pain...and nicer eyebrows hahaha. Went to do with Niki on Tuesday, when both of us got so sick of staying in the office. Lol :P
Guitar chalet tmr! Can't wait :) Fun! |

| [范玮琪] 一颗心的距离 |

一双 闪着泪光的眼睛
要多努力才能把雨看成星星?
握住我手 但别给我同情
执着的人要从倔强 寻找勇气
好像很近 瞬间又远离
很难实现才叫梦想 才要决心
我们终于一起 来到这里
当我激动不能言语 把我抱紧
我们隔着 一颗心的距离
有笑有哭地去回忆
夏天秋天 纯真蜕变的电影
会是一辈子做不腻的事情
静静隔着 一颗心的距离
交换最真实的情绪
庆幸 太不勇敢的纪念日里
你曾经 给我多重要的鼓励
好像很近 瞬间又远离
很难实现才叫梦想 才要决心
我们终于一起 来到这里
当我激动不能言语 把我抱紧
我们隔着 一颗心的距离
有笑有哭地去回忆
夏天秋天 纯真蜕变的电影
会是一辈子做不腻的事情
静静隔着 一颗心的距离
交换最真实的情绪
庆幸 太不勇敢的纪念日里
你曾经 给我多重要的鼓励
我想说 没有你的声音
像没有歌词的旋律
就算可以 很美很好听
也少了意义上的确定
我们隔着 一颗心的距离
有笑有哭地去回忆
夏天秋天 纯真蜕变的电影
会是一辈子做不腻的事情
静静隔着 一颗心的距离
交换最真实的情绪
庆幸 太不勇敢的纪念日里
你曾经 给我多重要的 鼓励 |
