Bored... Slept so much today that I'm gonna get real fat soon....
Finally settled on what to play, hopefully it won't be changed... Matt was saying we have 3 months to practise before the concert. But thinking that I actually have only 12 days worth to practise plus rehearsals, it's really scary!!!! One day per week * 4 weeks a month * 3 months = 12 days!!!! Argh! This is madness!
I'm having a sore throat that is killing me... Everytime I swallow something, it feels as though my throat is forked. I might have exaggerated a little, but it really hurts that much.
Life seems to work itself out of problems. Months ago, I was thinking, I was like worried how I'm gonna sleep in the jungle myself. Days before JCC I was worried sick how I'm gonna feel when I'm gonna kill a quail with my bare hands... Hours ago, I was contemplating if I should just go sleep and not stay up to have my reflections and peer appraisal done. Then I realised, hey, it's either I'm doing it, or I have already done it.
After a week plus in the jungle, I am beginning to appreciate things more. More so after I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al-gore. Hopefully I got the title of the show right. Then again, we are already stuck with the way we're living. It's gonna be hard to change our lifestyles. Perhaps scientists should come up with alternatives to burning of fossil fuels, or anything to reduce the carbon dioxide emission. Don't waste your time coming up with statistics and making a documentary to tell people how many times they engage in sex in their lifetime, or the amount of alcohol they drink, or how much medicine they take, or how many times they visit the doctor, or at any one time 0.7% of the world population is getting themselves drunk, or telling us how much pampers are being used by babies, or how many people are dying of respiratory problems.
My mum was like persuading me out of going to Guards after talking to my cousin... I was like, er, I never really thought of it before, but after so much talking, I was thinking more already. Somehow, there's this part of me that wants to go to Guards. haha... That 3 weeks of conversion, yea, killer, but it's an experience... I dunno man...
Came across this video on Czerny's duet. Actually it was Gwen who reminded me that Czerny did write some duets. And while I thought it was gonna be some mozartian style kind of work, and I realised I was wrong! I could see some Liszt in the work, the dexterity involved. Oh gosh... I'm gonna ask Mr. Ku about it. Perhaps for the next Touch... haha...
Oh... I forgot to mention that I was damn lucky that day at the airport (on the way back home). I was asked to open my bag for a search of LAG (Liquids, Aerosols and Gels)... Because I had this 100ml of shampoo and 100ml of facial wash in my hand-carry lugguage. Back at the holding area I was contemplating if I should keep my 200ml shower foam... There's this new law, and I think it's so troublesome, that every LAG you carry in your hand-carry bag should not exceed 100ml, and collectively, they should not exceed 1L... Imagine if I didn't throw away my shower foam, I would have kena for disobedience of lawful order...
Damn! Was that a close shave!
P.S. Where are you???
