such a strenuous day it had been.
school was dismissed at 2.30pm today, but yet i couldn't go home - i had a music practical exam to go for. and to my dismay, my time slot for the exam was at 5.50pm.
well considering the time i have to do a last minute practice, it's actually not bad.
but bearing in mind that i have to stay in school for the whole day, hmmm, just doesn't pay off.
so anyway, i had my practice in the band room, with a couple of friends and seniors. one particular senior gave me the additional strength to persevere. his name is, Gary Chew. yes yes cheer on. although he was from the clarinet section, which is totally disparate from flutes, he cheered me on in a rather light-hearted way. and i have got to thank him. so Gary, if you're reading this, thank you. =)
in the end my practical was late, we were 40 minutes behind schedule. by the time it was my turn, it was already about 7pm. you could have pictured how fatigued i was. i stepped into the music room anyway, and it begun.
throughout the two pieces my lips couldn't stop quivering. they were just trembling all over the place, affecting my tone, putting
ultra vibratos everywhere. they vibrations were like, i don't know, 10 per second?
later on the teachers (judges) gave comments, that were partially good and bad. so i won't go talking about it.
perhaps it's due to anxiety, or the temperature of the music room which i couldn't adapt in time. but nevertheless, it's still that cliched statement:
i did my best.chinese new year celebrations are tomorrow, and i really look forward to having fun, especially now when all my exams are over. ask me out? someone? =)
left himself a note;
