i can already see how the 2nd wk of my hols will end. it will end in lonliness and hectic-ness (if there's such a word) that will be continued in the 3rd wk, and the subsequent wk and till the end of the holiday.
im currently stuck in a rushing-to-finish-up-the-first-wk-of-holidays-hmwk state of mind. every day is pia pia pia from the minute i wake up to well past midnight. ok maybe not really. i do take a break every now and then to watch tv.
... ...
ok fine i confess!! i take A LOT of breaks, ok? probably why i dont accomplish much in a day. but fact here is, i have tons of hmwk. i havent watched a single movie so far!! wad's happened to da vinci, pirates, x-men, over the hedge, and many more?! those were my holiday plans alright, but they're crashing now.
bummer.
ohh yea, d, i know u'll be interested in my results this sem. need a full detailed report here? ahhh... dats a secret. but i can tell you im somewhere average in the level, and i scraped past the Sec4 promotion criteria with an average percentage of 67.65, rounded off to be 68%.
WHOO.
it's not a fantastic achievement, i know. but im just happy to get past 65. haha. im so going to hate that number for life now. it brings me pain, stress, and countless sleepless nights.
anyway, bad news is, i recieved the results of my piano theory grade7 exam. yea. umm. well. i failed, ok? it's kindda hard to take, but i rushed through the syllabus becoz of the change-of-tchr situation which was quite complicated.
my ex-piano tchr was halfway through the syllabus, then i changed piano tchr, and then there simply wasnt enough time to teach, learn, practise, and revise. so my new tchr just did the first step and i did the third. we eliminated two steps of learning. which is WRONG.
kids, dont ever do that. always learn in FOUR STEPS. they never go wrong (:
so anyway, i failed that blasted exam, and im a little panicky now. dad kindda knows, i think. coz parents have this weird freaky way of knowing things. or maybe it's coz i spoke a wincy bit too loud across the dinner table with Jamie.
point is, how do i tell mum? i mean, i was prepared to fail, and she was prepared for it too, and we even wanted to withdraw from the exam. but still. i mean, come
on! i didnt expect it to really happen. i was actually feeling quite good abt the exam when i left the examination room. i could do every single qn, for heavens sake!
oh wells. the question now is: shld i just stop learning piano theory forever and just concentrate on the practical part (since theory is kindda useless at this stage, unless im thinkin of composing melodies, which im a loser at), OR register for next yr's theory exam and hope to do better (catch here is, the registration fee will be v.expensive, even more than this yr).
having a headache over this. and i still have to tell my tchr sooner or later. gosh what will he say? hmm. probably nth much. im not his brightest student anyway.
ohhohh. i just realised today that Hammie is like a LIZARD. really. she's so scrawny and... slithery. i was just holding her in my hands and she was like whooshing and scuttling here and then, and it struck me how she's like only a sack of bones and thin fur. hmm. i wonder if im under-feeding her. jamie would think so. gosh but i still love that little thing. i just keep
forgetting to change her food and water. i hope she doesnt die young. she's still got at least two more yrs to go.
oh right. one more exciting thing (the only exciting thing, in fact)! im officially opening a drawing competition for the characters in my eng and (upcoming) chi novel ^0^ interested friends can leave a msg on the taggie to inform me, and i'll lend you the book (if u havent read it) or describe to you how i want the characters to be like (this is for my chi one).
see, thing is, im intending to set up a blog that will help to market and publicise "The Magicator". it'll be like, a Jessie's Diary thing (she's the main character in my bk), and then there'll be an aunt agony column and ppl can actually write to Jessie abt probs and she'll reply. on the blog. there'll be a lot of other fun stuffs like polls and games. speaking of which, i need more ideas for this blog, and im recruiting ppl to join the committee to help me maintain and design the blog. it's just goin to be a humble attempt to popularise my bk, and im counting alot on friends to help me (:
now im really starting to understand the sayin... SO MUCH TO DO,
SO LITTLE TIME!
