When the winds chime the bells

I had a very stressful violin class today, one of the worst. My fingers are aching now as I type and skin is peeling off! My back hurts and my SE level is degrading rapidly. There was a new (2008-2011) exam piece sight reading today and I sucked to the max. I have never seen Miss Chuang (my violin teacher) so annoyed and fustrated before! And no matter how many times I've tried it, I got worse. I practically struggled for the first 2 bars! Maybe it was because I was super restless and I could not concentrate well. Miss Chuang said I was too stiff with my bowing, she literally had to adjust my right wrist all the time! But how can I not be stiff when it was all so tense?!

OKAY, I am not really complaining here, my violin teacher is so far the best music teacher I have ever had (among 10 of them?! - including piano). When I first entered SIM - Selangor Institute of Music, she literally "broke" me off and mould me again in the correct way. It seems that my basics from my previous violin teacher was sorta not correct, hence she took literal and specific care to "break" every single finger I have to bring out what she wants. And it was a rough start at SIM. Imagine playing the same way for so many years, and now having to change it all and adapt to it ASAP.

But anyway, it turned out good, my bowing, musical knowledge, fingering, tones and all are improving. Although it was hard, I actually enjoyed my classes compared to the previous teacher. I learned many other songs and not only my exam pieces. And I love duets!

But today's class was..... o_0"

Anyway.... classes in college start today - after the Raya hols. Everything was so so, I have yet to start on all my annoying assignments and they are "sedang mendaiki bukit" now - if you know what I mean. But I guess you won't panic untill the last minute.... :P After class, went for lunch with Meng at Carl's Jr! Yiang couldn't join us cause she had to balik :( I had a bacoon cheeseburger and it was great! Very full.....hehehehe! I practically skipped dinner!
When I got home, I terus tidur like a pig... waking up early in the morning, college and a full lunch has taken its toll on me... OINK, OINK!! lol
But after I woke up, the first thing that dawned me what that I forgot to send an important thing to Yiang via email!!!!
I am SO SORRY YIANG!!! Thousand apologies!
We are both applying to minor in Public Relation for our degree in Murdoch University (Perth) - major in Media Studies. And I had to send her the scanned form and have it emailed the college before 430pm! But I only woke up after 6pm! Again, sorry! I hope Ms Sasha can send it tomorrow instead.
