just like liebestraum, the name of the piece you are hearing right now if you have turned on your audio. except that it is a dream of love. the harshest reality hits you right at the time you are feeling most vulnerable, leaving you suffering all sorts of disasters, and just the mental thought of having to clear up so many troubles all at the same time rids you of all the passion and motivation for what life is all about. yet this harshness is not faced equally by everyone, some handle it better than other people who are in the same situation as they are, and leave those slower ones thinking, why is life biased towards them but at some point of time, don't you just feel you are more fortunate than others, that people close around you care greatly about you , that perhaps maybe your friends do not get the same fortunate family than you do. den perhaps, it alleviates some of the disturbed feelings you might have from experiencing injustice in life. but to always think about the don't-haves is almost always more tiring as thinking of the haves ; but beacause we are living in such a society that compels us to compete with the best, we want to own everything that people at the top of the hierarchy has . lets pose this question to ourselves, is this possible? i am not saying, no, we shldn't shoot for the stars, because after all you never know what you can achieve only after you have really put in a decent attempt. this is my final year in the mainstream education. i think i am really going to miss life as a school student . although it sounds cliche, all good things will come to an end one day . as much as u wish that time will just pause at the moment u want it to , but the fact is, many of the things in life are beyond our control. sometimes we leave up to fate to decide, sometimes we do our best and hope for the best. but whatever it is, as long as wonderful momories are left behind at the end, all will be worth it.

why did he write such a difficult piece, such wide stretches.. such fast passages. how is anyone below the virtuosic level be able to play this wonderful masterpiece.. to me , this will always be the greatest piece of music ever written , just listen to the chords at the beginning..such rich chords, yet they are so difficult to play.. , 1:56 AM
a bit too slow for my taste, but nevertheless this has always been one of my favourite violin, used to have this dream of being able to play this. maybe it can come true one day :) , 1:07 AM
the starting.. its just like snow falling , everysingle note dat hits the piano, like every single drop of snow. den it goes on to the main melody, so sensitive, and a bit of heart wrenching. like perhaps, a lonely christmas staring at the snow outside. maybe this is wat santa does when he has distributed all his presents , staring at the lovely snow scene all by himself... den it goes on to the chorus, this part to me, it feels like, the children who has received all the presents from santa, enjoying themselves , basking themselves in the spirit of christmas, the spirit of giving, making others feel happy, and they themselves feel elated as well. at the same time, they are thankful to santa, who has without delay presented them with gifts of all sorts.

reli ,i might just be a nobody. if i lose everything, i will make sure i use elephant glue and glue myself up with the piano. that is probably the last thing i will have tgt with my family and friends. i thought about it hard , maybe not long enough , but something tells me i reli belong to it . and no matter what i choose to do , i will be recalled back to music one day . but i know i am not good enough , i know i am too late. but does it matter, as long as u have the passion for something, and you reli enjoy what u are doing, everything else can be discussed. Applicants are required to perform one selection from each of the following five groups: One virtuoso Etude by Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Debussy, Scriabin, Bartok, Stravinsky, Moszkowski, Prokofiev, Ligeti or Bolcom. Chopin Etude Op. 10 No . 1 or no.12, or op.25 no. 1? could try rach etude , certainly not bartok Any Prelude & Fugue chosen from the Well Tempered Clavier by J.S. Bach i dun think i can play any Complete prelude and fugue. maybe some easy preludes. A complete Sonata by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, or Clementi beethoven "no 1" "pathetique" "tempest" " waldstein???" a bit hard. mozart k330 k309 k457 are my favs. haydn the most famous one. schubert sonatas..never even seen a shadow of it before. A major work from the Romantic period how major? brahms liszt chopin sonata are ALL too difficult the only i can think of are chopin ballad , schubert impromptus. not too long though. A representative work from the 20th century to the present this is a killer, i reli dun like contemporary works. So , i am not ready . and i dun have time to make it to next year admission. :( i cant even accomplish the required pieces, so dun even have to talk abt getting an application form.

and it will remain in our memory and i my greatest wish for us , is that one day we have a harmoc gathering with the juniors, and then we can reminisce everything once again. i almost wanted to cry , but i just cant. this is how i felt, yes i wanted to cry , because its the end of another cca journey . so hard we have been practicing for , everything has ended. we have been looking forward to it, and yes its ending as well, but the moment it ended, there was just this emptiness inside my heart, and this back-to-reality feeling which i am almost sure most of us will feel. the barber of seville, the overture to william tell, canon, feng zi qiu,sound of music, ju hua tai and so much more.. that marks the end of en armonia I , but hey guys, there will always be more to come. this is after all, just a milestone for our band , because we have finally moven out of LT5. into esplanade , one of singapore's most representative perfoming arts venue. maybe one day , we might even be able to perform at the concert hall! it will not be long, but when the time comes , all of us will have become alumni. lets not mention about the sad things anymore, because it wells up tears in my eyes. anw, took quite a lot of pics, but i forgot to take pictures of gladys being crushed by kung yin! lol ! that was reli funny. anw here they are.
Me with the talented pipa player, Mr Cedric! without him , ju hua tai wouldn't be so nice , i m just so honoured to be able to perform with him. anw, i think the both of us reli have great mo qi !  this is harmoc guys , (j1 + j2) with mr tang, i am hiding at the back..mr tang looks so energetic even after a concert. i think..this is my only picture with mr tang..haha.
this is me with wq(left), and zm ( midddle) , my frens and classmates who came to my concert. reli thx for the support manx! although they never give me face after that by not going haagen daaz.. -.- but its ok.. me with jing huai (middle) and phoon yu,(the solo piano performer) . phoon yu is reli one of the most talented young pianists i have ever seen!! i have a feeling no one else can play bach better than he is in school!
so we had lots of fun during this concert , and i am sure everyone enjoyed it, maybe i will never have a chance like this again, but i reli hope i do . because going on stage gives me a sense of satisfaction. i reli got to know the juniors better , maybe not everyone of them , but it gave me a chance to talk to many of them. and i reli enjoyed the laughter they created. i am sure they will not feel lonely without us, cause there are simply so many of them ! as compared to us last year, after our seniors left , we were left with barely more than 20 ppl... and next year the juniors will be coming in , and i am sure our total "population" will continue to increase at an exponential rate, and we can overpower concert band one day ! wahaha! oh yea , and there are people who gave me encouragement before the concert , and i reli want to thank u all as well! xie xie zoey for her sms , things will always go well when she send me words of well wishes, and so i reli reli appreciate it. ( reminder: treat u to donuts!) haha hope one day can take a pic with u as well! thanks to my best friend xiao han , yes i know , i treat u best , i treat u best , i treat u best! but u treat me best oso! thanks for the facial cleanser it reli helped a lot! although u cant come for the concert but its np. hey and hope u get well soon and we can hang out tgt one day :) thanks mr chiang , although no flower, but sui bian la. just make sure u return the 50 dollars from the red lights syndrome? u better watch out , i will steal ur money..lol. chim meng, for all his jokes, he can be super duper funny at time lol! zhongming , for his support , reli thx le ..for coming to my concert . treat u to a drink after school reopen ! wq, ys, wj , my gang. we will always be the gang. thx for the..erm.. frog. ok fine, and sory , no thx to the person who drew the sucky black spot on the frog, u can go bang wall. i dun think can wash off la, wtf... jia hui, levon , and jiawen , for eating my money . by ordering this (whats it called?) from haagen daaz. ok la, thx for the support also. finally ,thx to my oldest friend and buddy in my life( known him since two years old), kaihiong, who was here "spiritually" with me. LOL! ----------------------------------------------- it was reli a nice time being with u , i am just sad that perhaps, we wunt have time to know each other anymore, because everything has ended , and i wunt be seeing u again anytime soon. as much as i wished the concert wasn't over, it already is . nice time talking to u , but maybe fate just doesn't allow us any chance to be better friends le.. hai.

anw ! today was our concert preview! at ngee ann kongsi theatre :) finally, the long awaited concert has started, and the first of the two is over yet so soon, which is so fast. its reli been so fast.. everything we have been practicing for rehearsing for, will end on mon. and all these will perhaps turn into memory and plain dust. but this is just a passive way of thinking. on the other hand, it has been reli wonderful, and i got to know many of my juniors because of this, i am reli grateful to.. the concert itself. nevertheless there were screw-ups in this concert which is perhaps inevitable . the song " i don't wanna miss a thing" was completely out of rhythm, perhaps not everything, but at least most parts of it. i could only console myself with the well -impressive skit.which norman says was quite gd, and i believe it reli is! ( i had never watched the whole skit before... -.-) running a concert has always been a tiring thing, no matter at which level or stage. a concert involving a band of 70 has been so all the more. i reli think ivy has put in lots of effort for it and she deserves the greatest credit not because she is the sc, but because she is my sl. haha, lols! ( ivy, gd of me to say that eh?) yes but , i should say gladys and norman has given their best as well, i can see the weary faces (maybe i will try upload some pics) , and even though gladys showed the nervous side of her just during and before the concert itself, i think it was reli great that both of them kept their composure, so that the juniors will not panic as well. but we had lots of fun as well , shouting "CAT HIGH SUCKS!" (LOL , that was because they said something which i seriously think will offend ANY rvians") and almost everyone, meaning those not from rv joined in as well. i think they cant put up with the cat high guys as well . because they are simply too " arrogant"! yes arrogant is the word to describe them, and putting down any school like the way they did will not end up in ANY gd result for them . perhaps , not everything went smoothly. but it was not jh's fault.. she reli tried her very best, i know she feels bad about it , for letting the band down , but to be fair to her as well, she reli spent lots of time at the beats and rhythm , and i could see and feel her improvements. and, mostly everyone get nervous on stage and it is a very different thing when u play the piano alone than when u are sitting together with the rest of the band playing. every note counts, and there is always the fear of missing even a single one. our song was screwed up as well, ehh, haha, better not talk abt that one. 我希望你可以选我为你的朋友。:) anw took pics with levon and yh , wanted to take with the guys, but i think we will take a lot of grp ones next mon , and of cuzz with mr shuai ge..wahaha.  dats levon , a sec 3 and 4 classmate . lol , someone jealous??wahahah.and shes the only person who is involved in the concert and was my classmate.  this is ... erm future to be psc scholar , and i took this pic so that next time can ask for her help if she is successful . i will tell her "lol , dun pretend u dunno me leh , look at this!" then she will stun tio! look at her smile, got this evil look ..hehehe. anw, no meaning in putting up these two photos, cuz its abt the only photos i took after the concert preview ended. harmoc guyx mon ! we must chiong after that, after all its not an everyday experience. this sense of pure happiness, its been a long time :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the way u looked at me with those cold eyes just before the concert, like an unfamiliar stranger. i knew u just came specially to see them , but at least u cld talk to me. the mere hello, it was perhaps not even better den a normal senior i know. is it just so hard for us to at least talk to each other, is it just that awkward for u ? it feels reli like a dream , a dream of happiness , or perhaps, more like a straw in a drink of happiness, once u sucked everything out of it, u will never have the chance to drink from it again. i still cant forget u . Thursday, June 05, 2008, 9:45 PM
and she could tell.. but it would be more obvious if i had to play a bach fantasie like the one phoon yu is playing. hmm, i really must get rid of this problem so that any technical difficulties involving it can be solved. yes because of it, i cant even play my own arrangement of can-can. from now ownwards, heavy trills practice with the forth and fifth finger. hanon exercises. everyday. , 2:17 AM
lets not cross the line. perhaps, i am thinking too much ? if only could stay this way forever.. , 2:06 AM
i remember she told me once before, a person chooses to reveal his/her worst feelings or emotions on the blog as a form of experession. and come to think of it, yes it is very true indeed. but maybe , not everything should be said, not everything can be said. as long as you know people will visit ur online entries ,and they will form opinions of u from ur blog, then perhaps before hitting the "publish post" button, u will tend to think twice . but it works the other way round as well. blogging provides u an avenue to show publicly ur expressions as well. for example, in the case of disliking or liking a person, u could choose to tell him/her straight in the face indirectly. and thats the irony , thats the confusion as well. because people interact with so many other people in daily life, it is sometimes impossible to distinguish the actual " him/her " who is being referred in the blog. and this will generate the confusion that would otherwise not have happened if people din't have blogs. i think, life without blogs would reli be boring. haha :)) Tuesday, June 03, 2008, 1:39 AM
    Aww.. i think its high time to change my thinking.. Monday, June 02, 2008, 12:55 AM
she cant even tell care from pity , den y shld i even care. i shldn't even have , she has so much frens, so many ppl who care more. talking to her will only anger me , because i just can't understand. i had a bad feeling before sending it, and i was right. i shldn't even have. i am angry, because u could forget and lean on someone else so fast. i am frustrated, because you actually thought wat i had for u is pity . i am helpless, because i can only know u are upset and not being able to help. i am so angry and depressed at the same time .. but its always because of u . i had never mind that, but its just u treating me so coldly. i wish i din't have emotions , at least not for u . not because i dun wan to , but it just hurts me so much to feel even a single thing . |
