It's the first post of year 2010! Firstly, I think it'll be quite rare to post often in this year, much time shall should be dedicated to piano, studies and choir=)

How have your holidays been? It is almost over for me, with a greater part of it spent singing (and the time was greatly enjoyed), and a much more negligible part spend studying and practising piano=)) I'm quite worried about my piano playing, it seemed to have gotten backward with all that neglect it had been getting throughout the year. My fingers aren't nimble anymore and they tense up at weird moments, making quite a lot of passages irritatingly uneven and unmusical. Unmusical because, this infliction seemed to have spared my left hand, so when the right hand notes don't match my left hand ones, sometimes the notes clash. Patience! So I've been trying to make up for it by practising everyday now=) wouldn't want to mess up like the previous time! There'll be another class on 17th jan, and another student and I, after our playing, will be preparing a bbq for my teacher and her younger students. Cos our teacher's not too sure about bbq stuff so she enlisted our help.=))

When I was little, I used to devour storybooks! Like at least one a day! Until secondary school came and my leisure time was drastically shortened, I had my eyes glued to a book every morning (for afternoon sessions) or every afternoon/night(for morning sessions!)=) The stories were fascinating, it threw me into worlds of fantasy with breathing dragons and dazzling princesses with glittering diamonds weaved between strands of their golden tresses, it brought me all over the globe, back into the past where cars and television had yet existed... Not all stories were nice - occasionally, there were a few that had unsatisfying endings. I love to write, especially in the past where children had so much free time, I would write short stories, poems and change the endings of stories I didn't like to one that would make me smile in satisfaction, the kind of endings that we once believed in, happily ever after:)

Reality isn't that kind, I can't change the outcome of things I don't like, and the lessons to be learnt from mistakes can be quite hard.

Just one more year to go..and I'm already starting to feel the loss, of the transition from student to adult. Yes, our seniors be sympathised with, for they've lost the privilege of student fare on public transport! :D

A level year ain't gonna be easeh! haha. Just stay optimistic and all the best in the new year!=))
