I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!! I went down to the mail room 3 times today and nothing was in my mailbox...so after my last class...i run to the mailroom cause it closes at 6 and i was the last person let it....i pull out a pink slip in my mailbox and with heavy heart, opened up the paper and guess wat

100 marks for my piano exam!!!!!i can't believe it...the eximaners reckoned the peice was hard enuff to gardner me a perfect grade even with the slip up!...nothing short of God's blessing i think....

Looks like I have to make it four now! SEEYA GUYS IN LIKE A DAY!

Ok NOT as a kitten in a tree but u get my point....just did my piano exam....went pretty well played misty perfect (PURR-FECT), played scales and arpeggios perfect...then FREAKING RACHMANINOV
which I never screw up...i manage to screw up in an easy part and totally lost track of where i was...DIE!...i was freaking out there....there goes my perfect piano proficiency grade....I'll definately get a pretty high A for this exam but doubt it will be 100....unless i pray for a miracle...I know i dont need 100 cause its still and "A" but it will look nice on my record when i apply again for scholarship next sem! 3 straight 100s for piano proficiency!HOW!?!?!

Did ok on critial listening today too....got a 96...the teacher marked it right away...hjaha expected to DIE in that one...did better than most pple...damn funny i was like breathing reallie hard to compare the frequencies...like when i breath out its about 1kHz frequency so i'll just compare to that sound and agar...who knows that works! haha

Did a presentation on Silvia Massy Shivy...yes yes woman producer...i was trying to butter up my teacher who is also a female engineer...haha went reallie well...esp the part where i demonstrated how she destroyed 2 pianos with a shotgun and sledgehammers and recorded the sound haha...Angry Woman huh?

BACK IN 3 DAYS!

So ONE MORE WEEK till i get on the dreaded 30 hour flight back home....till i eat roti prata and my mom's cooking! till i hang out with animal friends again, till I attempt to steal my dad's new BMW and drive out to orchard road.

The life here is hectic though....lots of presentations to do next week...half of which i have no clue wat i'm gonna do cause i ended picking a hard rock producer to do my project on...DUH i dont listen to hard rock...i'm gonna get killed...

Did this super funny MIDI systems project using an MPC sampler. My and this white dude Max ended up making a kewl hip hop beat and rapping over it....I NEARLY DIED OF LAUGHTER...the 2 NON blackest guys in the class (one chinese one blonde blue eyes) rapping (pretending to rap, most of which was, UH, UH, YO, SUCKAH!) HAHA can die...my teacher loved it though....she nearly fell off her seat when she heard it in class.

My arranging final (still ungraded) has made the final list for the Contemporary Writing and Production Concert next semester 13 march...MY PIECE IS GONNA GET PLAYED AT THE Berklee Performance Center!!!!!!OMG....this is like huge...like they are getting a band and everything...if i'm lucky, i get to play or conduct it too! haha....gonna have to sit down with the head of the writing department to discuss the score for the final performance too though!...EXCITING!!!!this is like mad resume credit for me man....like how many pple get picked for stuff like that!!!!!

well back to studying....i can't wait to be back!!!!

Ok so its mad rush of finals. I'm feeling the pinch and on top of that, the weather has been CRAZY! it was like 19 celcius on Friday and then dropped to like negative 6 on monday....ITS SO COLD!!!!! ARGH!...

been trying to get my darn arranging project recorded by monday but from the looks of it...its not gonna happen...servers me right...always end up so ambitious i can't finish my work...i couldnt even play the whole piano part in one pass....had to step record...how pathetic is that!

And i've been spending too much time on arranging and neglecting my other subs...for example...I NEED TO PRACTISE FOR MY PIANO EXAM!!!...which by now shd be like well rehearsed but i haven't even memorised the pieces and scales and stuff yet! DIE!!!!

i guess i just need to pray for God to gimme strength to last the last week of school cause at this rate i'm gonna be sick! ARGH!

2 weeks till i have ROTI PRATA
