一路走来

results r released on the 22nd. being the typical me, totally not anxious at all. coz exam taken, can change nth abt it. i ownself got work hard anot i will noe. tis shld be the most productive semester i have been through poly.

results r not straight As. i didn expect myself to aim for straight As too. but i scanned through my previous 2 tests n the final test, hey, i did improve! the improvement might seem insignificant to others, but i noe how i got those results. its smth no one other than me wuld understand. i did not work hard like a bull. but i did work smarter tis time round. i focused more on my daily grades. paid more attention in class n did my RJ seriously. not all of the RJs, but majority of it. when i put effort into dem, the results prove it.

一路走来不容易,但是还是熬过了。继续进步,继续成长。Life is a sum of all choices.

安静

对未来充满希望,也带点害怕。
对爱情还是渴望,但害怕再被伤害。
今天,觉得自己好安静。
只渴望一点平静与平衡。

do re mi fa so

yes, its veri late now. during holidays, the body clock jus gets screwed. or in another way, i screw it myself. i always got the mood to blog during the wee hrs of the morning. i duno y.

was jus listening to Xiao Hong Ren songs. jus find it pretty amazing how his songs captivates me. the lyrics he uses r pretty simple. no fanciful idioms or chim vocab inside. but he made me "feel" the song.

i broke it dwn n guess dat it has got to do wif the melody. yes, i totally culdn understand wad i learnt for Music Composition module. but it somehow affected the way i look at music after going through the module. the kind of key we use, the type of scale affects how the music turns out. the type of instruments n type of notes play a part too. for example, we carn possibly keep using crochets throughout the song. sometimes, we nid to blend in quavers n even semi-quavers to give some variations to the song. im definitely not at the stage dat i understand music damn well. but its smth i realise after going through the module. another perspective realised for me today :)

the place i wuld drop by if i happen to be at the shopping centre is "That CD Shop". its like one of the amazing places in Singapore.
step foot into the shop, listen to the music dey play, add it on wif quality speakers. *OOH* How beautiful is life :)
the music dey play is always gud. the classical music is not those concertos one. concertos is too boring for leisure listening.

tis is always the scenario when im in "That CD Shop". *listens to the music, taps feet according to the tempo. move along to the music by walking around in one area of the shop*

Dreams.

quite slpy now ler, but blog abit den slp.

did abit of music composition jus now. brain abit dead liao. so stopped doing it after some time. tmr gona study for sound synthesis. do notes n go to test n den everyting will be fine coz is open book :) i believe i can do better for music composition tis time round. jiayous to myself :):)

last wk i watched finish the first season of MasterChef America. it was one of the best reality show i watched. i duno whether reality show is the correct phrase. but anyways, its a cooking competition n one of the judges was Gordon Ramsay, quite a big shot eh. one ting i notice abt him is, whenever he tastes food, after putting it into his mouth, he tend to look up for awile. i guess he is trying to c if the food he tasted culd give him any feelings. haha.

i finished a book last wk too. the title is called, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua. a pretty interesting read. the way the asian mother brought up her kids was pretty harsh. but in a way, it did bring out the potential of her kids. both her kids excelled in piano n violin. one of the tings i find it veri hard to grasp was, she made a point for her kids to practice the piano n violin even when dey r on vacation. imagine u go vacation still nid to practise. its like holiday day leh. haha. the younger daughter did love the piano lur, n she dun mind being a musician. the older daughter loved the violin too, jus dat she had her own mindset n she gave up violin for tennis. after some time, she did miss the violin, but at the same time she loved tennis. it shows dat the same upbringing cnnt be applied to both daughters. but i pretty appreciate the fact dat the mother was harsh on her daughters when dey r young to bring out the potential in dem.

after i read the book, i felt dat, sometimes its not we r dumber than other ppl. its jus dat, our lvl of tinking was not processed enuf to make us strive harder. i duno y after reading the book, i sense myself working abit harder than last time. n im slowly finding my goal in skl. for now, the ultimate goal wuld be a top notch Sound Designer in singapore. i wuld love to make a name in singapore n let other ppl noe dat despite the small industry we hav here, dreams r still possible.

Dreams, i can c u all more clearly now. Thanks for making me strive for u no matter how hard circumstances might seem.
