Lang Lang

I watched Lang Lang's piano recital this evening at Esplanade. It was AWESOME!!!! Can't get enough of it! Before the show, only some of us were invited to go go for the Cocktail Reception. It was great! Loved the food!!!

Then the show. He actually did 3 ENCORES after the pieces he was planning to perform. Shocking thing is, he memorised all of them. And, he plays the pieces with his eyes closed... (most of the time) These are what he played (not counting the encores. Oh yeah, he played Bumblebee as the last encore :) And the last song on this list was featured in Tom & Jerry once. Tom was having a piano recital. And Jerry was in the piano, driving Tom insane... hahaha

Mozart Piano Sonata in C
- Allegro moderato
- Andante cantabile
- Allegretto

Chopin Sonata No.3 in B minor
- Allegro maestoso
- Scherzo
- Largo
Finale (Presto non tanto)

Schumann Kinderszenen

Rachmaninov Preludes
- No.2 in B flat
- No.5 in G minor

Liszt Sonnet de Petrarque No.104

Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 in C sharp minor
After the show, we had the Post-Concert Private Reception. There, I got him to autograph my program, and the CD. And right now, Niger thinks that I'm addicted to Lang Lang... Uhhh... NO... I just scolded him for that...

Some pictures!!!

That's Lang Lang...signing my program :)



That was during the cocktail reception. My mum and I were the first ones there so... it was kinda empty... But it filled up in a while

Tiring Day

Today was... tiring...

Had to go to school at 9.30 in the morning to give the school my application form to the combination of my choice. Went home and had a piano lesson at 11. Then lunch, then off to the orthodontist to check on my braces at 2.30. Then she put some rubber thing on 4 of the front teeth on both the upper and lower row. So now, it hurts. I can't chew properly... Went out with my mum...then I didn't come home till 6.30pm. Then played computer games for awhile... then dinner...

When I was out, I wasn't wearing shoes, I was wearing flip flops. So I was walking in Orchard Road in flip flops, from building to building. When I finally got into the car to go home, I took of my flip flops and just put my foot up on the car seat. I could finally sit down after 4 hours of walking and standing!!

Well, we bought lots of art stuff though. Tomorrow, I'm gonna watch that piano recital by Lang Lang. This freakin good pianist from China XD Well, there's gonna be a cocktail reception before the show 0.o It's gonna be at Esplanade!!! Mwahahaha

Typical Holiday

Yesterday, during choir practice, it was the test for the girls only. Pastor's daughter, Eunice, was testing us. We were panicking... haha... But I'm, glad to say that I have moved up from Soprano 1 to Soprano 2!! Even though my normal speaking voice is alto... hahahaha XD

Watched Return to Halloweentown last night... And before I went to bed, i watched this Korean drama series... okay, now I'm addicted to it... CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS SUNDAY FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!! I wanna see whether the person died or not... MWAHAHAHAHA

Golly... this holiday madness is really making me mad... haha... I was experimenting with Photoshop filters yesterday :) hehehe... Edited some photos...

My piano lesson is gonna start soon... I guess I'll just use some friendster and facebook :)

Teacher's Pet - School of Rock

Baby, we was makin' straight A's
But we were stuck in a dumb daze
Don't take much to memorize your lies
I feel like I've been hypnoti-sized

And then, that magic man, he come to town.
Woo-Wee! He done spun my head around
He said "Recess is in session,
Two and two make five."
And now, baby, oh, I'm alive.
Ah Yea! I am alive.

And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Well, baby, you just better forget it.
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time.

Oh, you know I was on the Honor Roll
Got good grades, ain't got no soul
Raise my hand before I can speak my mind
I've been biting my tongue too many times

And then that magic man took you away (uh huh)
Do what magic man do, not what magic man say
Now, can I please have the attention of the class.
Today's ass-ignment... (hem hem)
KICK SOME ASS!

And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Well, baby, you just better forget it.
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time.

And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Well, baby, you just better forget it.
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time.

This is my final exam
Now ya'll know who I am
I might not be that perfect, son
But ya'll be rockin' when I'm done

Holidays are HERE

yeah... holidays have BEGUN! And it's time to SLACK, PLAY HARD, and be a COUCH POTATO!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (holiday madness)

Hmm... I'm glad to say that I can get to my preferred class. Choosing Combination 2, pure chem and pure bio. On Monday, before 10am, I have to give that form thingy. And the sad thing is, I still have an exam on the 9th... sigh. Haven't chosen a topic for my speech yet. crud

Phoebe was crying on Friday. Last day of school. We only got our report books on Friday. And Phibs was leaving for Cambodia that day. And she ended up making Bri cry too. And they were BOTH trying to make me cry. And when I didn't, they kept saying that I'm emotionless. Who said so? Hahahaha... Then they were all saying that if we were in different classes, they would miss scolding Bri, they would miss coming to my house to do projects, and they'd miss hanging out and making a fool of ourselves.

gosh, I'll miss those days...

Then we ran to where YX was sitting. I have no idea, but she's really nice to hug when you're feeling down. HAHAHA... so they were both hugging her. And just nice, Miss Sim was standing there, staring at them. I told her,"They miss each other too much." Hahahaha

Okay, well, I guess I won't get to Triple science, since i hate physics... Haha. But Mrs TAn said I could go there. But...nah...

Well, I guess there's one thing left to say, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!!

First Guitar Lesson

Had my first guitar lesson with Ibu Hayati just now... mwahahaha... Fingers still hurt though... kinda red at the tips... expecially my index and ring fingers. Hmm... and she says that since it's my holiday next week, she's gonna bring her son over the next lesson so that we can learn together! Wheeeee!! Theo's coming! Mwahahahaha... I wonder how he plays his guitar... LOL!!

Exciting Day

Let's see... we sang the National Anthem FOUR FREAKIN TIMES today, coz there are some inconsiderate people who WOULDN'T SING IT, even though they know VERY well, what the CONSEQUENCE is gonna be... Stubborn freaks -_-

Then, we watched Surf's Up... continued by a talk by this policewoman... and a video about ex-convicts confessing... sigh... So we all sat in that dark gloomy hall for more than 1 and a half hour... and our butts were all aching...

And just now, Bri and YX came to my house... check out Bri's blog... then you'll know why I was laughing till I cried... HAHAHAHAHAHA...

And I was tuning Ivan's guitar... TUNING IT... Coz it's VERY VERY out of tune... The D string would sound like a note FAR from that... And I was tuning the E string (the really thin one), and it just SNAPPED on my arm -_- And the teacher's coming on Thursday. I told her to help me buy a string for that...sigh...

Pictures

Bri came to my house to do gym... And everytime she comes, we'd take really crazy pictures... haha...


The larger pile is mine. And the smaller pile belongs to Bri. I ate that much in the same time that took her to eat so little...


Then she managed to catch a shot at me using the guitar to play this really short piece of song my mum taught me -_-


In my room, having fun posing in the mirror... lol...


Bri didn't know I took this picture... hehe...


This was also in the gym... right before we left... that's me (the smaller one), and that's Bri (the one stuck on the mirror)

Truth be Told

On Saturday after Youth Group, Christopher, Dea, Felicia and I rushed to Tiong Bahru Plaza to watch Truth be Told. It was a great movie... even better, it was based on the Director's life... he lived in that same block years ago. The last part made us sick though. They showed the fresh wound... all bloody... shiny and lumpy... Dea was covering her eyes... I was gagging... Chris was all "yuck! eeew" And I forgot what Fel was doin... haha... Well, I don't mind if it's sadistic or something. But it's rare where they ACTUALLY show the wound and blood etc...

Yan Xuan left awhile ago.. she came to do her NYAA... well, apparently, I was rollerblading and she ended up chasing after me... haha... Sigh... There's no school today... and no school tomorrow... and I'm bored... Tried a lil bit of guitar... Theo's mum is coming next Wednesday to teach me... If she sees that I'm hardworking, she'd come twice a week...

Tears of Anger and Hatred

I just came home from Camden awhile ago... I got my new contacts. On the way home, my mum got pissed off all so suddenly... I dunno whether it's PMS or just her attitude problem that hasn't driven me up the wall for some time already...

As you may have known... I'm taller than her... yeah... so the strides I take would also be longer than hers... She said so HERSELF. I guess she forgot... She started scolding me and shouting at me in PUBLIC about why I'm walking so fast and leaving her behind. For her own information, I was walking in my usual pace.

And because she saw me walking so fast, she started scolding me about playing computer games blah blah blah. DUDE!!! EXAMS ARE OVER!! HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!! CAN'T SHE JUST GIVE ME SOME TIME TO RELAX?!?!?!?!?! URGH!!! Then she kept hitting me with all of those comments... those irritating negative comments that put me down last year till I nearly had to go for councilling...

She said that I suck... I have absolutely no self-control... And she started comparing me with my brother. I hate it when she does that. Not everybody's the same. She started saying that later I'll get all STUPID and LAZY and SOOOO ADDICTED to COMPUTER GAMES. FYI, I'M ONLY 14!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T SHE JUST LET THAT GET INTO HER HEAD?!?!

Sigh... she kept SHOUTING at me in PUBLIC... on the overhead bridge... when there were 2 people walking in front of us. I dunno whether they heard... but she was shouting at me all the way till I reached home... And yeah... after months, I cried...

Movie Marathon

Yesterday, SL, Phibs, Diy, YX, Val and Fel came for a movie marathon. Well, Fel left early... coz her dad was home. So we watched Swan Lake on Ice and Evolution. Diy kept wanting us to watch The Eye but nah... I didn't want to... for the first time, I was scared of a movie like that one... even with friends around...

Bri came with Nigel for awhile... Hmm... he's an emo person, and he look sweird when he smiles... And Bri said the f word twice... Better said than done. Coz just a few moments before that, she said,"Oh yeah, I've never said the f word in front of him before! Cool right?" Well... she said it anyway.

It was really fun... we didn't swim though... So, right after school, they came to my house... and we didn't shower... all the way till around... 8 plus when they left. Hahaha... of course, we changed into house clothes... so we weren't that stinky...

After they left, I showered, and watched Goal! It's a freakin great movie! Even better, ZIDANE WAS INSIDE! Mwahahahaha... Well, it wasn't a big part... But still, he was in there!


Bri came to my hosue to borrow my mascara -_- like... wth...


There's Bri... and Nigel... her... boyfriend... When they were leaving, all of us stood at the dorrway and watched them wear their shoes. haha... We were so embarrassing them... haha... Well, I can just say that Nigel isn't my type... and he wears jeans tighter than the ones that I can wear, and he's probably jsut 170+, almost 180 I guess. And he doesn't smile much... too quite... and he wears his shoes SOOOOO slowly...I can say that it took him a whole 5 minutes to wear his sneakers...


We were playing Big-2... hehe... There's Sl, then YX, Diy, and you can only see my feet and my hand... haha... Phibs was the one taking the photo... And after a whole day of school, I know, we all look like crap... hahahaha


Phibs and I decided to make this tower thing with the cards... it was fun... We could only make it this high... coz these were all of the cards in the deck... sigh... not enough...

EXAMS ARE OVER!!

YES!!! WOOHOOO!! EXAMS ARE OVER!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! (after-exam disease taking over)

Well, it was Science today, and it was really funny. Well, first thing's first. I'm CONFIRMED to have lost 1 mark, coz I left that stupid question blank. I COMPLETELY forgot what the stupid ruler was called... I can't even spell it -_- Anyhow, I finished the paper... within an hour and 15 minutes... the paper was supposed to be 2 hours... So I sat there... staring at the question... stoning... Then I was looking around. Phibs kept moving in front of me... I was trying to yawn, then I accidentally let out a squeal... and we both ended up trying to hold our laughter... The examiner kept staring at both of us... lol...

At the last few minutes, I kept staring at the clock...10am...10am...10am... And when the bell rang, and my teacher said pens down, we were all yes!-ing...haha... Mrs Elangovan was behind me and she was staring down and she said,"tsk, haiyah. Be patient!" But she was grinning so it was alright... lol... Then it was when she was collecting the last few papers, and she was taking the LAST paper, and when she did, we were all "yeah! Yes! Alright!"

After the paper, Kow came to my house... and I helped her fix her blog and friendster. I have no idea, but they were all shocked when they knew that Kow actually came to my house... that I actually invited her over. What's wrong with that? Maybe it's because I can hate her so much... LOL... just kidding... she's alright sometimes...

Oh yeah, yesterday, instead of revising for Science, I ended up drawing... and I think it's actually pretty nice :) I added finishing touches to it just now :) Take a look at the whole process!


Sketching out the person...


Fixing the details such as extending the skirt, or shaping the legs...


Outlining it with my favourite pen :D


Colouring in the details and shadows :)


The final coloured version.


This is the FINAL piece, where the colours have been smoothened so it looks more equal. Although, the paper is kinda dirty... fingerprints I guess...

Piano Recital photo

Oh yeah, remember last Friday I went to the Educational Piano Recital? Well, I took LOTS of videos... and just a few pictures. Anyhow, songs were so good. And I expecially loved the one by Felix Mendelssohn... I think that's how you spell it... Anyhow, he was the one who write Elijah... It's a choir book btw...

Okay, here's a picture of Pak Billy explaining the piece of music halfway...

And on Saturday, I'm gonna watch a movie after Youth Group with Christopher, William, Ezra, Dea and Felicia at Great World...

Not Doing My Work

yeah yeah... I know...exams are coming and I'm not listening to it. Well, we're not REALLY having lessons. YX is reading out the Geog answers for that practice exams paper... And I'm not copying it down. I was busy trying to finish the Project Work thing. Stupid website... sigh...

Well, I finished it, but by the time I fnished, I was too late to type of copy down the answers already... sigh... I guess I have to photocopy it from someone...

Now Bri is showing me her very-interesting-eyelash curler... And she's holding up the mirror in her face... on my right... haha... Curling her eyelashes...lol...And she just read what I typed... mwahahaha... oh, she wants to say something...

"Bridget here: The eyelash curler is freaking cool and is made for single eyelided girls cursed with short eyelashes like me. zongzhen i know you read this blog, but please, i'm not a vain pot."

Okay, and that was from Bri... hahaha... Well, YX keeps saying "umm umm umm" now... Okay, she stopped... I shall type out what she says

"the government may need to search for another landfill site to dispose the waste produced by Singaporeans. It will be a big problem as Singapore's limited land area has been planned for various uses. Next question, Practice the 3 Rs (reduce reuse and recycle) would be the best solution to achieve the aim. Reduce waste produced e.g to minimise wastage in the domestic household."

Bell rings, an announcment... Sec 2s have to go to the hall... dammit

Okay, she's rushing all of the questions... forget it... not gonna continue... bb...

Educational Piano Recital

This Friday evening, I'm going to the Old Parliament house for an Educational Piano Recital by this man in my church. His name is Billy Kristanto, and he's studying in a music school in Germany.

He's REALLY good at piano. And my mum and I bought 2 tickets. $400... but it was sponsored. So I don't think she paid the actualy price... I think...


This is how the ticket looks like.


He's gonna play songs by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach...and other composers. Then he would explain yadda yadda yadda... The problem is, it's gonna be in Indonesian. Crap...then I can't invite my friends... sigh...
