"we cross our bridges when we come to them, and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once, our eyes watered." Tom Stoppard [Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead]that is an absolutely gorgeously spiffy quote.anyways! im actually doing work. WORK. which is quite a big deal because i normally dont do work on saturdays. so yeah. its all quite kool, but i really dont intend on sleeping this weekend, thanks to this:
- chinese mindmap and jian-bao- functions mindmap - IH SIA proposal completely refined and perfected- IH assignment research on the impacts of the Holocaust- physics lens formula exercise- to make the maths ppt presentation by collating research from sian, ronnie and melusng.- rewrite zuowen which i failed very badly- music: finish composing worksheet- theory homework: 4 pages of completing chords - copy out chinese lit homework because i forgot to bring my file last lesson.- design survey for IH SIAit actually isnt very much. im just a slow worker.
so anyways! yesterday after school, being free for once, i went to jurong point with erzi! which means yingming, for the ignorant. it was all quite fun, but JP is starting to get a bit boring. went to toys r us and whatnot to ogle at soft cuddly toys and we ended up buying glow in the dark thingums (flying pigs for me, surprise surprise), stickers, and i bought a headrest bean cushion for my parents. there's this lime green star shaped beanie that im eyeing which costs $6.90! and this cow which is lying stomachdown and has its hindlegs kicked up in the air like how i used to lie when reading.
then today, i met up with yangzi for lunch at west mall, then we went off to school for the piano recital thingum! (as i told yangzi, e implementation of the 5 day week has no effect whatsoever.) learnt quite a lot about the different techniques, george crumb is such a kool composer, the way he puts in hitting the metal stick thing with a yarn mallet to create the funkiest effects. and pizzicato on a piano! talk about interesting. spent $8 on a ticket to a performance which is in june i think, at VCH, should be quite kool, the performer is the same woman who presented and played for us today - lee something something. anyways shes considerably young but she already has her doctorate in uni of michigan for piano.
sniff.
after which i rushed home, grabbed my books and went for guzheng. then came back again to sit around and finally have time to kool off. dinner was great, cream sauce chicken pasta which was quite reasonable from bukit timah food centre, and chinchow! i've had three portions of chinchow today, for some strange reason, lunch dinner and before guzheng.
right. and i also realised i havent touched my guitar in almost three weeks so i picked it up today and strummed for a bit. and now here i am, relating the horribly boring activities of my day to you. soon will be going off to play piano. i think im starting to get the routine into my system, which is good. one hour piano a day. soon i'll try to incorporate 15 mins guzheng a day!
whee! and i finally found out the price of my dream marimba.
THREE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED! sigh, talk about annoying. and not even the slightest offer. ma and pa said they will subsidize half the price if i really want it, but one thousand eight hundred isnt a very nearby goal either. i think i currently only have like 500 in my account. darnnit. maybe i'll discuss paying by instalments.
i was green-ed at 7:17 pm
