MiZiSat 7: Another Movie Day for Me...

Had my keyboard practice in the morning. Well, I tried learning and playing some of the preludes and fugues from The Well-Tempered Clavier Book I and II by JS Bach (1685 - 1750). Each book contains 24 preludes and fugues (which consist of all 24 major and minor keys per book). Hmm... I'm trying to learn a few of them at the moment.

Later in the morning, I went out. Thought of going to the bank to deposit my cheque I received from mail to my account, but I don't know where my parents had placed my bank account book at. So, I decided to leave the cheque to my father to deposit for me. After going out of the house, I went to transfer some money in between 2 bank accounts (from different banks) since I got my pay the day before.

After that, I went to Plaza Singapura to buy 2 movie tickets for 2 movies ("Spanglish" at 12.50pm and "The Pacifier" at 4.50pm). Had my lunch at BK before watching "Spanglish".

After watching Spanglish, I went to YMS to buy "Achieving Success" DVD. It is a video about preparing for the Diploma in Music Performance. Decided to get one copy so that I would know how to prepare for the exams in the future. After that, I went to Borders to browse some of the books and CDs there. After that, I quickly rush back to Plaza Singapura to catch the next movie.

After coming back home, I watched the DVD that I bought just now from my computer. Well, it has a perfomance extracts by some of the candidates playing in exam conditions. It demonstrates the standard required for the performance itself. Quite impressed with those people playing in the performance, especially the girl doing the DipABRSM Violin (who got a distinction), and the woman doing the FRSM Piano (who also got a distinction, which very few people could attain that standard). Hmm... after listening and watching to some extracts, I felt that my playing can't even qualify for a pass category (40% at least)... Anyway, I'm not doing that so soon, since I couldn't really write out the programme notes and haven't read much about the music and composers yet.
