UGHHH Finally, the midterms exam is OVEr !!! WOOHOO, I thought it'd never end ! Well, now I'm just sitting around in my room the whole day waiting to decay, which I enjoy :) It's better than SOME things that I experience in school. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see my friends everyday. But you should be able to understand that there aren't always happy moments in school. This applies to life too :) That's why I'm decaying...in my room
Shall I give you despair ?
So first of all, I would like to SEIZE this chance to say "YAYYYYY" because I've finally gotten my blogging motivation back on. Inspiration is now flying through my head, although I'm still trying to purge those unhappy inspirations.AHH, they're unavoidable, but it's this kinda things that make us stronger ! Now for a bit of final year reflection, I felt that things are much more fun and sensitive in my final year. I mean, this year is (and supposed to) gonna be scarred in my brain for almost forever. So everything that happens, good and bad, might as well be treasured. I mean it's not like we get to repeat everything all over again, and I'm sure SOMETHING has to happen to everyone once in a while (for me, it's almost everyday). Whether it's an incredible joke (I practically laugh at everything) or an accomplishment or just getting hyped up about something that's about to happen. I get hyped up pretty easily too :) unlike CSF :P he's just too serious for his own good !
Anyways, Music Fes is this Saturday !!! It's a annual event hosted (most of the time) at Sutera Harbour. It's where talented people (TROLLFACE!!!) like me compete to win a piece of shiny, coloured plastic ! Sounds exciting, no ? I've participated more or less every year since Primary 3 but only won 3 times. The last time was in Form 3, a duet with Andre. We got first place ! I remember we were both like hopeless after they announced the 2nd place but DID WE get the biggest shock of our lives when they announced us as 1st place winners ! Ah yes, Form 3, my yesteryear ! I've blogged about it too ! Just click HERE !
This year, I'm doing a solo and a duet. This is my first time juggling two seperate competitions in a year. Let me explain. The whole shindig is divided into dozens of different categories (they even have a violin and band competition) About 7 seven of them takes place at once since they're making use of Sutera Harbour's multiple ballrooms. Each category has about 2 to 8 contestants. Now that you know, it's not really scary right ? It's not like there's 100 contestants at once. I remember when I was in Form 1, there were only 4-5 contestants (including me) and I didn't win :( I was kinda keeping my hopes up high 'cuz of the numbers and the odds. One of my mistakes back then was wearing sandles to a performance, mom was there, she didn't know, LOL.
Back to topic, this year, I'm doing Serenity of the Heart for my solo and Military March with ShnWei. Serenity of the Heart (SOTH) is one of my songs for my Grade 6 examination. There's another one which I think is easier called The Storm. As you can tell, SOTH is supposed to be calm while the Storm is a song filled with raging dynamics. I wanted to use The Storm as my choice for the contest but the teacher said that's more suited for Andre because I can play much more dramatically and emotionally. I was flattered back then so I accepted but now it's super hard for me to express my music in a calm and peaceful way. Most of the notes I play aren't (or doesn't even sound) even connected like it should be. I'm not sure will I be able to bag a trophy about this one or will I end up in last place. They won't tell you which place you've gotten unless you're number 1,2 or 3 ! So it's kinda a relief. Here is a little training video we did on Monday. IT'S JUST TRAINING and it's not the complete song yet...
Not really perfect, I made mistakes, she made mistakes but we're just in it for the fun :) That is if you don't count the fact that we're putting RM110 on the line just for a chance to win two pieces of plastic...I'll blog more later ! Ciao...
