beethoven piano concerto no3
this has just became one of my top favourite concertos. after mendelssohn’s violin E minor and tchaikovsky’s D major violin.
had never really been a fan of beethoven (in all honesty, i cant play his pieces… well i’ve never tried)
guy playing in this vid has great touch! aiyo
and guess what.
he’s coming to singapore next year!

beethoven says
“Don’t only practice your art
But force your way into its secrets
For it and knowledge can
Raise men to the divine”
music is not about me
struck me hard when i was doing some judging and auditioning today. (so weird, now i’m a judge to send people in for competitions). especially when i see some fantastic musicians with great technics but lousy lousy lousy stage presence but they are the only one indulged in the music.
so sad.
i think i’ll try defying gravity
there should be a rule that when it rains and the weather is just beautiful…. everyone has to sleep in.
lol ok back to reality
cannot explain how hot tea has this amazing calming effect. we’re talking hot lipton tea. (yes, i love lipton red tea with one 1.5 teaspoon of sugar)
everything i need for a morning facing computers, students and my music.
on a lighter note, catching Chorus Line the musical, this sunday! so pumped about it, has been watching its dvd and performing its music since I was in secondary school! what a storyline…
to breakfast, good day peeps, adios
breather.
need a breather. came back from dragonboat with my class… only to realise i have new band documents to clear, assembly feedback forms and reviews, and lots and lots of class things to prepare before parent teacher conference next week! (for example.. writing comments on report books, arranging the time for each and every parent to be done… talking to their CCA teachers… being a mother la)
so ended up with packet lunch and halfway lunch, i got news that the principal just went back to office so ran down to get his signature for hall rental (band concert, december, i know right, early!) before he goes off to meeting!
halfwaythrough taking a break naooo. thank goodness my piano kids cancelled on me today 
can’t wait to catch NJC band concert later with sam! long time since i had time to go to a proper band concert, and on a weekday even, wow! ok breakbreak
great dinner with faeliq and gillian ytd. cant believe we’ve known each other for over 8 years. days when i was in regent band, faeliq was drum major of sji band and gillian asking me over to anderson sec band combine pract and concerts. and even their conductor know me. all the drama better the sji guys and us was pure crazy, aiyoh
digging and clearing up, and i found this photo, in no folder! what a nice nice nice photo (maybe cause it shows me clearly, prolly taken by someone else, i dont know who though, cant even remember this photo lol). good memories, good memories, good to see everyone in conservatories and top unis
ok back to work!
performers list
think i had a heart attack when i received email from the music director.
the names and schools i saw just suddenly made me suck in my breath and wonder if i’m the worst musician in the world.
it was almost like its a blind date, and i’m going to partner with someone i dont know, but i know the other side is better a few folds than me, at least based on their ‘background’.
emo mode hit, and after a while was out halfway through FPM.
who am i really playing for? i have everything i need, i lack nothing, because i have God.
my side, to continue working, being persistent and consistent
on another note, i’m really pleased with my NT form class!
conduct grade meeting was so fast i was like…. what.
kenneth and i exchanging O.O faces all the while cause the other classes had such high amounts of F & Ps and suddenly…. my class felt like a dream. (still naughty boys here and there… but it isnt that bad! hahaha)
and its good, cause it means my class has hardly any problems!
yay happy news
thank God for wisdom these past few months man….

all my life in one file
so its true.
i’m tracked all my life in this red dot man. lol
just opened my school profile thingy and realised they have records about me from primary school till now about my grades, my posts (band major, monitress etc.) and i wont be surprise if they had things like offences and all.
wah.
feel so stalked…..
guard your heart… ‘toon
a week of may begins :)
a very special dinner w a new friend i made, because i wanted to share the gospel with her, i knew she needed to hear about this God who loves her so much!
horrified when she told me about how hard she works (piano teacher at a music school) and how she desnt have much friends and directions in life. i told her i would be her friend
with daphne at botanical gardens. we spent the day munching on unhealthy macs and stoning by the duck pond chit chatting and watching the swans and ducks
will miss her when she goes over to JJC to teach!
amazing race at botanical garden (i know right, i was there twice in a week….)
and this is half my team, the other 3 at the toilet! lol #teamsiheng
prof leaves for USA.
i’m stuck with myself for a month. so training continues…
btw its not because i’m so free thats why i can do editing on the photos.
cause photobucket allows you to edit it so easily, in like, less than 20 seconds, really.
heh
