7 weeks + 6 days since Ed jumped around my head



Piano lessons resumed - after roughly a month! Whoa. But Lehrerin seems in a good mood today. Lots of jokes and laughter: I messed up my alternation of hands in Debussy, gawd... Haha... And apparently I was too consumed in the turn of things currently, concerts, the upcoming exam and all, so I was already mentally (or was it physically? Hmm...) drained before lesson. The result? My fingers gave up on me in the midst of the middle agressive part of Proko's Sonate... And Lehrerin laughed! =_=;;; Oh man, was that embarressing ^^

Rushed over to Frau Lim's place - I had left my sooooooooo-important score at her place after voice lesson (and I only realised it this afternoon... I'm...such...a failure...). Darn my frazzled brain... And I gotta get to Orchard before six plus in the evening...

The weight of all things happening is taking its toll on me. Yet I must, must survive before my exam is over. I must survive... I have put in so much effort... And I cannot break down. But to relief stress a little, Kino(kuniya) is my haven. Ooooh... All those manga - just the look of them all takes away bits of my burden. Haha, now I know the real reason behind my anime-manga craze. Escapement.

The rehearsal with Tomiko-chan is unexpectedly great! And there I was worrying about her rushing tempo and all last night when it turned out well today. Even my voice is pretty rich today - without warm-ups, mind you. Apart from my memory lapse - I can't seem to recall the lyrics sometimes! Scheisse! - everything went fine. A load off my mind. Phew... And now I'm starting to get confident... But that is, if I managed to fix my sight-singing and ESPECIALLY, the aural section, right in time...

Okay, okay... Run, run away from reality now!! Just watched Monster (second episode on cable), and it really, really look promising! I even got scared... Stupid Johann, and his sister... They kept staring at me. I COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT. Man, it was scary, especially when you watch stuff like that after midnight... o_O Freeeeeeeeeeeeeaked out... Uuurrrgh... But the suspense was like... wow... Real impressive. Might be addicted to it. Just watch me.
