MusICian

oh well, i asked for it, and here i am, when everyone else is relaxing somewhere, in the central library computer zone. yup. and i guess i can’t blame anyone for this since it’s my choice. and it’s for my own good. because i don’t wanna overcrowd my last 2 semesters in NUS like i did for last semester. so i’m spreading out my modules in order to have an easier, more relaxed, time when the real deal strikes in august. come to think of it, this is better than doing nothing constructive at home.

oh yeah, i’m really good at deluding myself. at least it makes me feel better.

i really ought to get more music arranging done, now that i realised i can do a decent job without taking too much time. but i guess it’s human nature to be lazy. haha. some good opportunity came by and now 2 of my amateur arrangements (out of a pathetic 4) are premiering! i make it sound so grand… haha. the works aren’t even published. maybe i should consider publishing them. earn some bucks and some recognition.

40 mins more to labour law lecture! argh. the JS module i’m taking is not as interesting as i hoped. well, the topics are, but i predict that the lectures are going to be a little boring… and serves me right again for choosing the wrong workshop. now i can’t have a full day with huili! argh. bad planning skills.

i really wanna spend more time with my sweet. she’s been going through a lot these few days and i really wanna be there beside her, but unfortunately i can only care for her from a distance. well, i hope that after the event i’ll be able to spend much more time with her, to see to her happiness personally. and i really missed my quiet moments with her. it’s the holidays and i’m still spending so much time in school. sigh. must make more effort to care for her!

ok, what a super busy time i’m gonna have later. lecture from 3-6, clarinet lesson with fiona at newton from 6:45-7:30, clarinet choir practice at yms from 8-10. where does dinner fit in????

ok, i admit i really didn’t do well for this exams. i won’t be surprised to get very lousy grades. but well, that’s the price for juggling studies, work and music. well, my music is my work, and my work is music, so maybe i should only count it as music? haha. as mr ng kok hin says, a bad day at fishing is still better than a good day at work. i should apply that to my music playing. haha.

exams are officially over!!! and just as i’m about to celebrate the long holidays, i realised i signed up for special semester!!! sharks. and the classes start next tuesday! looks like i ain’t gonna have much of a holiday. but well, 2 modules for sem 3 and 1 module for sem 4. that makes my last 2 sems much easier with only 4 modules each! woohoo

well, as for the diploma, pass or fail, i’m still a clarinettist. and i take pride in being one. my standard may still be very far from those people at InClarion, but i’m slowly improving and i’m proud of my achievements. the sad thing is that i have to change my beloved mouthpiece… either that or i’ll have to buy a barrel that’ll solve most of my intonation problems. so sad. i love that mouthpiece! and i took so many years to finally get used to it. looks like i have to buy a barrel after all

ok, no whining. ktv later! *cough cough!!* sheesh…
