Almost a 2-month absence...

…from this blog. Actually from all blogs. Except Tumblr and Twitter, of course. Though.. I don’t tweet much these few days.
BTW. My Twitter Bio now reads like this :
Positive pessimist. Curious. Sophomore. Struggling with Math problems and Programming assignments in university. Currently obsessed with Ohno Satoshi & Arashi.

Anyway. Instead of me asking my piano teacher to skip to Grade 4, she had asked me first few weeks ago. I was elated of course but I didn’t show my enthusiasm… she wanted me to think first then tell her next week (but she totally forgotten about it). Then.. in yesterday’s piano class, she mentioned about it again. I suspect she has similar thoughts with me though… I think I should really do well for the G3 pieces first before moving on to G4’s pieces… And she gave me another hard (4 sharps with 4-in-1 notes *if you get what I mean*) piano piece to practise my sight-reading skills. I am not good at sight-reading but in the last exam (G2), when I practise sight-reading, I kind of have the feeling that I can do that well. Kind of.

Also, few weeks ago… I had some kind of vacation from piano practice (busy watching Arashi in my room). Sounds bad, you think? No, not really. The funny thing that happened was like me eating Kit Kat chocolate bar. I LOVE Kit Kat but I seldom eat them because… I want to preserve that feeling of longing to eat one. I think the same thing happened to the practice. When I play, I realised how I miss the sound of the piano… as if they are a new sound to me, I got excited and was a bit more confident to play. The result was odd but good.

I used to always play Demi Lovato and Jonas Brothers songs on the piano. Their songs are usually in keys with mostly sharps… Now that I’ve found a new love in Arashi’s leader, Ohno Satoshi… it’s pretty much Arashi songs only these days. Haha… Their songs are more varied though, keys with flats & sharps here and there…

I’m still scared of flats. And staccatos.

truth

I love playing Arashi’s “truth” on the piano. Wish I can match the speed of the song… (try playing while listening to the song)..

Suge.

Bad Day & Arashi

Bad day. Lame meeting. Stupid people. No-brainers.


At home : Found new Arashi songs to play on the piano. Back to happy mode. Thanks to my recent crushing on Ohno *swoons*. Arashi piano sheets galore.

Grrrhrh.

Piano class [26-Sept-2010]

No more Clementi Sonatine op. 36. Haha. 

Oh, well. I'll continue practising the songbook at home anyway. Such fun! I hope one day I'll memorise the whole opus number. I actually found Sonatine op. 37 too (haven't look for op. 38), looks a bit more complicated.. I like the 2nd movement!

Ms C lend me  her marches collection book for me to make another copy. She asked me to pick out a song - & I was happy to pick out Mozart's "Turkish March".. reminds me of Nodame a lot. It's only the alla turca part though. Oh. And it's simplified too. Then she picked out another march song - Elgar's "Pump and Circumstance" no. 1 (not sure which part of it). Heard of it being played by a senpai (one grade older than me) at the next room. Heh. I didn't expect to get the song for homework this week!

If feels like it's "the test" again. This time I must prove to myself that I'm capable of vast improvement.

Fighting!
