MiZiSat 4: Mini Movie Marathon and Reviewing Music Theory

Woke up early in the morning as usual.

Later early in the afternoon, I went to Cathay Orchard to buy movie tickets for 2 movies, Spongebob Squarepants Movie at 2.10pm and Son of the Mask at 5.20pm. Watch those 2 movies myself again :P.

After buying the tickets, I had my lunch at Subway. That was my first time eating that. Later, I went to HMV at Heeren and bought a set of Classical CDs. It was Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809) Violin/Cello Concertos, in which one of the track was the one PSQ likes to play in bunk (Violin Concerto in G, H. VIIa No.4 1st movement).

Ok, about Spongebob movie, the movie was quite lame but humourous. Kept laughing throughout the movie.

In between the 2 movies, I went to Yamaha Music Store at Plaza Singapura to browse through all the grades for ABRSM theory papers, especially for Grade 6, 7 and 8.

Ok, later rush back to Cathay Orchard to catch the 2nd movie. The movie was somewhat interesting and quite humourous in some sense. Had my popcorn combo as my dinner instead.

After watching the 2nd movie, I went to Kinokuniya Bookstore at Ngee Ann City to buy Career Guide 2005. Wanted to have a copy for myself so that I can slowly look through jobs that suited me both for my interests and qualifications.

After that, I went back to Bishan and bought some octopus balls from Takopachi. Haven't been eating that for a long time...

MiZ Speaks
Ok, while I was at Yamaha Music schools browsing the ABRSM past years Theory of Music Exam Papers, I realised that Grade 7 and 8 Theory are much more demanding and difficult than Grade 6 theory (in which I thought it was demanding and difficult enough). Also realised that Grade 5 theory is much easier than Grade 6 theory, no wonder why the percentage of people who got distinction for G5 theory was so much higher than that for G6, statistics for UK candidates shown below.
2001
Grade 5 - Pass: 90.5%, Dist: 24.4%
Grade 6 - Pass: 79.4%, Dist: 5.1%
2002
Grade 5 - Pass: 87.7%, Dist: 24.1%
Grade 6 - Pass: 79.8%, Dist: 5.5%
2003
Grade 5 - Pass: 89.2%, Dist: 19.8%
Grade 6 - Pass: 78.2%, Dist: 5.6%
Based on the statistics shown on the ABRSM site, there are also a lot more less people taken G6, 7 and 8 as compared to those of lower grades. Well, I supposed G6, 7 and 8 demands a lot more, and people usually do not really needs G6 to 8 theory for perfomance (unless they are going to teach).
