you used to be the reason, for my smile.
i am feeling quite bored and restless. nt that i haf nth to do. its just that i'm nt in e mood to do it.
i'm seriously slacking.
anw, my 1st piano lesson in approx 3 yrs went nt as well as i expected.
1. e teacher was kinda nerdy
2. he talked to me like i'm stupid
3. he told me to go grade 1 theory
seriously, i prac my grade 2 scales so hard hoping that i'll be able to advance to grade 3 asap or take my grade 2 exam.
what i was expecting when i entered e rm was for e teacher to say, "i think you're beyond grade 2 standard. i think euu can progress to grade 3 soon" rather then, "i think you won't be able to take your grade 2 exam anytime soon and you ought to start with grade 1 theory".
he seriously underestimates me. hello... i used to take grade 4 prac and theory when i was pri 2 okay. just lost touch after so many yrs.
and he went thru grade 1 theory with me. and everything he was saying i already knew. and when i told him he said nvm treat it as a revision. and he wants me to to as many pgs of e theory bk that i can. just do everything i know. wanted to ask him, if i already know i still do for what. and i think i can just hand him e whole bk e nxt lesson, all completed.
and i already told him my sight reading sucks. and my norm piano tr wuld 1st ask me to play right hand, den left, and ask me go home prac, nxt lesson den do both hands. and he expected me to do it on e spot. he seriously underestimates me and overestimates me at e wrong areas.
haii. i shall just pray that i'll be able to progress quickily. maybe i'll go over to my sister's piano teacher. but it'll be much different. for 1 thing, its private lessons and much more exp, and e lesosns would be much more demanding and its 1.5hrs. but e gd thing is dat she's a gd piano tr, and e timing is nv fixed and can change if i'm nt free :]]. but i dun think i would change anytime. 1st becos of e fees, 2nd becos of e demanding-ness and time consuming-ness of e lesson.
pray for me, folks :]] i'm looking forward to my nxt piano cert :]]
i shall end this post now, and haf an early night. and perhaps i could wake up earlier den usual tmr and try to complete some work, seeing that i still haf to study 8 chapters of jap, do countless of in newspaper assignments, read 2 chinese mags and complete a ws that follows, my physics and chem review tests, study for chem test on term 3 wk 1, 60+ pgs of geog wb, design a jap poster and other stuff i've forgotten.
oh anw, pulau ubin trip registration extended to 17 June. anyone interested? lemme know i'll give yer e details :]]
byebye :]]
