Whole day off

Do you still remember the "celebration" of my exam & mid-autumn festival? Well, i did have dinner with my dad. We went to Mongkok and were looking for a better GO set: i wanna buy a real wooden board rather than a plastic chess board. You know what? Besides reversi (or othello), GO is my second favourite, though i'm still a beginner.

After walking and walking for a long way, my legs were getting tired and my stomach was trying to call for help. The one who always wants to have a lot of chaffy dish in teahouse certainly suggested having chaffy dish. All right, whatever, eating is just a process to make yourself warm and to help your stomach shut up. Yeah, we really had chaffy dish at last and ordered eight dishes; my dad is a crazy guy as usual. " A special father must have a special son", it's right, we had eaten a FAMILY SET in KFC for 4 times, which means we had to put a chicken, two potato, two corn into our stomachs within an hour for 4 times, this is my idea, haha. And now I have successfully turned my dad into a KFC hater, as well as me... Then, we ordered nine dishes and ate them all except for two noodles which cost $20, i've taken several photos of them.

Three days later, i've finally got a stomachache that would give me a whole day off, but that's not cool cuz it was a lot of pain. No one knows what shits i've eaten, except for my dad and people reading this post. Well, i forgot to post the photo of the murderer - homemade meatballs.

Yes, it's them. Firstly, they were tasteless; actually, they tasted just like human balls! I am an ogre, haha. Secondly, the first ball i ate was not hot at all cuz i've just put it into the hot water for 10 seconds, i think that is why i got sick. Never mind, i am getting better and taking a rest now, or other word, lazying.

How a freak spends his day

I've never ever thought about it! How do i spend my days to celebrate my stupid examination is over? I hate this feeling, just hanging around with nothing to do, and when you look around, you'll find that nothing is changing in the entire world except for you, and you'll figure out that it's silly to have a celebration after that silly exam. It may sound funny to someone but not me, and also not my violin, who is in the hospital the last few daysto check if there is anything on him I can spend money.

Not only my violin, the sun is not satisfied with me, there is a typhoon that brings heavy rain to me these days. Sorry for the people in HongKong, especially the tourists, for not being able to see the moon clearly on the mid-autumn festival this year.

Sunny, this is life, this is destiny.

Life, is something that can't tell you all the things that are happening, you'll suddenly feel bored and play a video game that is older than PS2, something like Dreamcast."

if the joke keeps on talking many times, it's not funny at all, but later when you hear it again, you'll start thinking why this joke will make you laugh, and suddenly it makes another new joke "( i copy the MEANING of the phrase in Big Fish)

To continue on the word “life”, tonight i've just understand another example of it. You'll never know that there is an electric shock in your mom's room that can cut the house’s power supply. Not me, mom did it, but what i can't believe is that she thinks that i have damaged it before. Poor me, sitting on the sofa like a prisoner for about 10mins, i'll take the photo later and post it cuz im still sitting on the sofa. What an updated post.

It's time of destiny, everything is destiny. That the weather affects your performance, sickness, mood is destiny. It sounds kind of unbelievable but it's true. Some other days i'll tell you about it.

Anyone there?! haha, it's good that there is only few visitors, so that i can post many meaningless articles, maybe it's good for improving my english and increase the speed of typing, whatever, mom's gonna be crazy, haha.

oh man!

Ever seen a jerk teaching others how to perform, when he actually can't do it? Well, that's me. I'm kind of sad to tell you that this is my worst exam i ever had! Pieces should be my best part, but three strings of my violin went out of tune. Guess what, the pianist couldn't heard a big different but i could, so i'm very worry about it now, if i can get distintion or what.

That's enough, i won't think about future cuz it's useless to plan such thing. I'm not gonna give up, but i'm not going to think about the word 'violinist' now, i wanna make sure it is still my favourite for a long long time, so i must learn but not plan. That's cool, i wanna tell you guys that i'm still ok and i'm gonna give up so easy cuz im strong, haha.

After these celebrating days, i'll get back in it, i prefer posting about my daily life later so wait for me!

Share from the jerk:
Heifetz is a great great violinist in the world, there is a piece writen by lalo that im gonna learn soon.

Tips in performance

Sometimes people are just being too nervous in examinations, performances or competitions, and i'm one of those people. Although i usually did well in those, i'm sure that was luck, and i can't continue trusting luck.

Practise makes perfect, surely we'll make it perfect. Besides it, we've to make anything under control, including your emotion. I've thought about it for few months, it will really affect your performance, and also the impression of the judge or audiences. A very common example is that, when you think about nervous before perform, mostly you'll get a bad luck. Nervous must affect the result, but how to stop thinking about it? Smile, always have a nice smile on your face, it'll let you feel relax and give the judge a good impression. Be yourself all the time. Don't speak too much before or after the performance until you get home, cuz you may do something wrong very easily.

When you go to the stage, make sure you "walk" but not run, it shows other people feel that you're fully confidence. Then face the judge for a second and take a bow. Hold a second, stop thinking about others and get start. Enjoy your music during your perform, and move your body to relax yourself. Also, i've to notice you that "don't rush" cuz you may do easily! When you finish your perform, take your time, it's still your show so smile at the judge nicely and take another bow slowly, and then again 'walk' away. i'm sure if you do all these correctly, more marks you'll get.

Violin tips

Ever thought that your piece is not touching eonugh? In some of the piece(mostly in romantic period), ways of vibrato is quite important. If you play in a wrong way, it may become a boring, or ugly piece.

Usually in some expressive pieces, you need to have quite bigger, slower vibrato. To play a bigger vibrato, all you have to do is to relax your left hand, and vib. it bigger but slower, always notice your hand in the first time. But if you don't know how to vib, don't try this now, you may crush your piece with a bad intonation.

In some allegro of baroque music like Handel's, usually there are quite many half notes with staccato that you need to vib. Actually they are quite easy to get it, at least i think so. Nothing special, just vib. with the beat in your heart is enough, all the vib. should sound powerful but light, that's all. Actually, maybe someone has already known that, but never mind, i'm just sharing these things to you guys, or having a review.

My first post

I know it's not good to create a blog at this time, cuz 19thSept will be my violin grade 8 examination day, but i can't wait to start this interesting blog, so, here i am.

Well actually, i dislike exams and i have a best excuse for it. When you prepare the exam, you'll have to practise three pieces, many scales and also the aual tranning, usually i'll have to prepare them for few months, it's kind of wasting time for me. I've experienced this , when i had the grade 7 exam last year and having grade 8 exam this year, nothing change in my skill, i am sure i can learn more. Anyway, i've to do my best in it but i would make a careful plan for my diploma exam later.

After the examination, maybe i'll start recording some pieces and share with you guys, please give me some comment or ideas afterward so that i can make sure my songs can be improved and somebody will listen to it.

As a form 3 student, this year should be a important year to work hard at school, unfortunately, those teachers of my class are mostly new to our school and they are totally "reading" the books, not teaching us. Although we've to self-study the subjects, and some of them are actually new like Phys.Chem.Bio., i've nothing to nervous or feeling any exciting for this, all i care is to finish the secondary life and go to study music.

Sometimes im just thinking too far, maybe i should stop here, after the exam, if i can still remember this blog(sure will), i'll paste my picture here and update this blog quite often.
