It hurts

Maybe somebody thought that piece was annoying, so i better post this quick. All right, after the third lesson of Lalo, the teacher finally wants me to finish the first movement in the next lesson, me too. She will teach me the forth movement, which is kind of easy for me because it is the Grade 8 exam piece the year after, and i've already tried at home; Not difficult, just require some practise and that's all. So i don't wanna play it, but just to show her that i am not weak, i'll probably shut up for a week. She also told me that the fifth movement is "fun to play". Yeah rigth, fun to play. I nearly told her that when i was hearing Heifetz playing that, my eyes almost drop by his skill, and the tempo was so fast that my mouth kept opening. I thought i might scare her so i didn't say anything, whatever.

Actually, now i should be practising my violin, my recovered one. Man! For the second time, i killed it in my own hands. Maybe i played too hard or something; while i was playing the hardest part of the Lalo, i heard a sudden "pung" and the E string broke off. Well, you see... "IT HURTS"



Now what! I've no spare; all i can do is sit and wait to buy another.

There is a trend of playing the dices, which of course i joined it. I bought a 3x3 dice month ago. And now, i can finally return it back within 3 minutes. "Haha, loser! I can get it within 48 seconds." laughed by a nerd today. I went " cool~ Dice-wolf ( it has a very similar sound with libidinous in Chinese) " The next thing he did was to hit me.

Continue with my musical side. On 21st October night, i watched a concert of Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra-"Four Seasons" for the concert report. That orchestra is one of the world's top Baroque Orchestra, Miss Jeanne Lamon is the Music Director and also the concertmaster, surprisingly that she was using the violin made by Santo Seraphin, the most famous violin maker in Venice in1725, and Vivaldi might had used it to perform his own work "four seasons". The sound wasn't so special but their skill really impressed me, giving me a passion to play the violin, again.

Our time has come

First of all, nice work Rabt. You made your mind and i'm not gonna ask you anything, but i just wanna tell you that you'll feel sorry about doing this. Actually, this has given me a great pressure to concentrate my thing. Also, you aren't so great at all, not for outside or inside. I thought you are kind before but surely not for now. I don't know why you're doing this and i don't wanna guess, you've just lost a friend. As you say, goodbye forever.

Return to me, i've just increase my violin knowledge. Guess what, i told you the violin had recovered by putting on a new paint. I didn't notice that part, and i crushed the second lesson. It was very slippy and i realized that it is caused by my hand oil, so now i have to wash my hand and clean that part more often.


The uniform test is coming, too fast. According the reason in the above, i think i have enough time to prepare it quite well. Just a little bit worrying the Physics, you know, that Mr. Chong... i think he is mudered.




Max and i play pieces together again, it happened last year, but he gave up with an unacceptable reason; he felt bored to play together. Nah, i can't make him to play. After a long period of time for us to improve our skills, he suggested it few days before, and we've bought a concerto of F.Mendelssohn. I really wish he won't repeat the same thing this time, i'll try my best to keep him, maybe i'll use the last ditch- the tiger get back to the ground, which i've learnt from a cartoon.

Buddy is back

Good news, my injured violin is finally back! It took them more than two weeks to work on it. Boy, i miss my violin! Even though they were definitely working too slow, when i played my violin yesterday, it sounded perfect! FANTASTIC! Maybe i should send it to the shop more often.

Finally, a great success brought my confidence back; I did a great job in the Lalo this lesson, i'd only played 2 pages out of five, though. This Saturday will be my first time spending my halloween night in Ocean Park. i think it won't be too scary, yeah Sunny, you are brave, right? well, not really...

Sure, there is at least one gay ghost for me at school, right Desmond? You trick me! How Dare you! Also someone can make me not eat anything for a day, haha.

I've to spend lots of time writing a post, but had no idea at all. Thanks to Lok for helping and improving me; actually this blog has been inspired by his. I hate school, i mean, i can never concentrate in class; i am not over-active, though. I'd rather secretly studying an english book than listening to the teacher. i think it may help me more...


The Princess Diaries is kind of easy for me to read, cuz it is all written in a diary form so that i can understand the setting more quickly. It is about a girl, Mia, who found out that she was actually a princess of Genovia one day. Although she did't wanna be a princess at first, it was a fact that could never change... I found this book on NET. It is actually a series of books; there are like eight volumes of Princess Diaries and i've only read one, i'll probably go to the public library and check for the second one, maybe i am talking too much about this book...

Swimming Gala

I nearly forget about this blog, and now i have to slap myself for a thousand timesto make sure that i keep it in mind all the time, like when someone ask me what I did to my face. I have been kind of busy with my violin even though the exam was over. I'm gonna learn a new Lalo piece; it was a Spanish Symphony. It is a new challenge for me to play a strong rhythm, a whole new style for me and being nervous will not help. This fast piece is much more difficult than i thought so i'm practising so hard on it. My neighbors may knock my door and share their feeling of it every minute. The exam had taught me that i have to be much more confidence than i am now so that i can finish this piece more effectively. Nothing can change my mind now.

I've promised you guys that after exam, i'll post some piece here. Yeah soon, cuz i have just changed my notebook into a notebook with audio driver.

Oh god! My mom is killing me, i have to sleep in 5 minutes, so i better be fast.

The swimming gala is going to be like last year and i hate it more and more as my age increases, it is a waste of time to watch them play water for about 8 hours. No mobile playing, no reading, no games, only watching. I love going to school in this case... just for one time. Before my eyes are damaged from looking at the pool too much, i have to express my feeling for this stinky day. Mom is killing me again, see ya.

----------------

Hey good, yeah perfect! I can still see, nothing serious has damaged me, cool~ About the swimming gala, it was better than i had thought. Still, no reading and no games; i hate this. I just don't understand why they are doing this to me; maybe they just think that we really LIKE swimming gala or something, or maybe we have to be polite, enjoy it. Oh shut up Mr.! We're not swimming maniacs. Our school is actually not good at swimming and not really supporting it - "Students who are good at sports, go and get prize ; otherwise, get lost and be a nerd!" that's their opinion on something not related to academics. At least i understand they're trying to say that.
