Most happening:D

This is realli an stressful, happening week amongst e others where i just get by watching jamie oliver and chn 55 drama serials and eating junk:D

About my lasalle audition..i was stressed e whole week cos of this audition..2 days before the audition which was on sat April 2nd, i had insomnia..me u know!! fancy me getting insomnia! always fall asleep in mins, i tossed and turn for like 4 hrs before drifting into a restless sleep. So damn torturous, hot and sticky! And i kept up with my practises..its realli hard to be tt disciplined even when u are stressed up. Try playing the same stuff over and over again for a month..and u will know what i mean, i think i had improved alittle since my se days..happy to say:) with e advice of Hilary Hahn..a realli superb violinist.. www.hilaryhahn.com

anyways..i arrived 1/2hr before my audition slot..lasalle looks like my primary school! so worn down and ..under renovated..it seems like a haunted house on tt day..cos its raining and e lighting was dim. The music classrooms are like what candy had described, containers:D more like prison cells. E ang moh who auditioned me was super friendly..he had absolutely no airs, friendly, no barriers of superiority. He strolled up to me with a warm smile on his face and unlocked e classroom door for me..and walked off. A few mins later he came back with a packet of kopi-o..so cute:D not in tt sense(he looks like 40 to me)..as in his behaviour:) so student-ish.

I'm realli angry with myself..always get so nervous..fingers were already frozen from e cold...and being nervous onli allowed me to make alot of mistakes, that i dun even make when i was at home practising all this while..couldn believe myself..dumb lor. Its kind of amazing, my mind sort of detach itself from my fingers..went blank..and e next moment in e matter of split seconds, i forgot which note i was gonna press next..but my right hand which was holding the bow..kept up the pace..not coordinated:( He wasn't looking at me all this while, he was busy setting up his imac laptop, while listening to me play..think tt did help alot:)

And..yup, he did ask me about how i'm gonna pay for my school fees..i mentioned bursaries..:) prays hard i can get one from nac. Tested me on aural..whereby he play chords on e piano..then ask me to differentiate e major from e minor ones. Also asked me to "lalala" some melodies that he played on e piano. Quite easy..compared to what i've learned in o'level mep:) Luckily..i got in..to the foundation level..have to study for 4 years to get a honours in music..by the time i graduate i'll be like 24 plus-25..boooo..so old:D The tohought of studying again realli makes me happy though..if i could, i rather study my whole life..working basically sucks.

After e audtion..i went home to bathe..eat..then had to rush over to compass point to teach a new student in sonare music school:D Only have one student to teach for now..principal said that i will have more to teach when the sch semester starts..more money for me then:) After teaching, i met up with chenfu and yuhua..to shop for baoxing and fions' bdae pressies. Got 2 bdae cards and a jacket for bx..we oso contributed an ang bao towards fion's digital piano fund:D

Had a great celebration with qing, guowen,fion,baoxing,chenfu,shunling,yuhua at some cha lou..teahouse..the lady who was explaining the art of tea-brewing has such a queit voice that i was dozing off:D its ealli interesting to see her boil e water to pour into thr tiny pot with tea leaves. We played ludo..e guys were playing weiqi:D And yah..shunling played guzhen in the teahouse! it was so exciting:d everyone was like looking at her:D i oso did e unthinkable..i played my violin there! haha..luckily no one came up to complain..cos my violin has powerful vocals:D

Headed off to a pub as e night is still young:D But it seems tt we were out of place:D was a real eye-opener for me though not pleasant to see e harsh realities of life. I'm realli an idealist..gotta snap out of it sometimes. Quite suprised to find that i like Bailey!! Its basically milk with vodka..i dun like alcohol btw..esp beer and shandy. Went home at ard 12 plus together with fion ling and guowen in a cab. Had a realli wonderful day:)

Sunday arrives..and AGAIN..we are celebrating two of my frens' bdae. Linda and Wanhua. Went to tonkichi jap restaurant..gave wanhua her pressie..body shop cosmetics:) got tt limited edition lip gloss k!! so pretty..i oso want..but think they dun have any more of tt colour liao..:(..eh..think they cheat us..i remembered e last time when i went with yuhua ling meitian and tziming..our set meal consisted of tt delicious bowl of soup with meat, mushrooms ..mango pudding is even included as dessert..but they did not serve us these two kind of foods today leh..y?? Argh..i love e soup..y don't have.POUT* My ebi prawn and piggy's breaded katsu very nice though. Sidetrack alittle..me and candy discussed abt e audtion..she seems worried..don't worry girl, u will surely make it:) i was very nervous and made mistakes...and yet got in..i believe u can do it! and u might get exempted from e lst yr?? who knows:)

After lunch..we went over to suzeng's sis taiwan shiling snack stall..a francise of e original one. Wanhua sneaked off with piggy to buy a mambo bag for linda..haha, linda of cos guessed e real reason when wanhua made an excuse:DAte some omelette pancake with pork floss..yum..realize that i've been eating alot..and oso..think i'm gonna tip e scales any second! die..i hate to diet when tt happens. We ate e bdae cake there..it was white chocolate two layered strawberry jam sponge cake..realli nice..from swiss bake..next time can go buy from them, they are located at taka food court, near to the doughnut stall...had bought 2 cakes from them..and all taste good. I shall try the oreo cheesecake next time:D..wait..the food race hasn't ended..we popped into starbucks for an ice-blended mocha..so sinful with whipped cream.

when suzeng finalli arrived with her mee sua and chicken fillet..we headed home..tired but happy:)
