I totally crapped up my abrsm violin exam today. Argh I felt like murdering myself when I stumbled on the legato part of Handel's Fireworks!! I think my mind wandered when I looked at the examiner, who looked like someone owed her a life or something, and I got so worked up with the expression on her face that the piece completely left my mind & I found myself playing the extremely messed up version of the piece. Ms Yew (my accompanist) was looking at me with "that look", which I interpreted as "what the hell are you playing??! What's your problem??" . So, my exam didn't go too well, so there goes the distinction. whee.

Before I left, some of my classmates really gave me a great load of encouragement and support! I was really pretty touched when ann sabby clara xiaoyu jingxuan dee & chay gave me hugs! It was really nice of you guys! And of course a handshake from ming, and smses from all of them.. Aiwen too! (: Thanks so much you guys, I really needed the moral support. >.< And while I was warming up at home, dee and chay and eme called me from the sch pay phone to give me like, last minute encouragements. I was so super surprised and happy! They rock.. Love you gals 100%! And sorry pj, for leaving you all alone to face all those titrations during chem. block! I heard you guys forgot to add universal indicator. Must have been a 'torturous' time hey? :D Missed you people, and I wished I were in school..

Yah, so today went swell except for my messed-up violin. Looks like changing to a new set of strings didn't work out. (I changed my strings from those cheap China ones to the handmade German ones which cost about $11 for a string, not the most expensive, but I'm getting there :D )

-The entry ends here. Like I said it would.-
