The Sunny MiZ 17: Another hectic day...

19 Jun 2005
After I booked out from camp, I went home, taking my father's car back. Well, thought that I could rest for some time before going for my Violin lesson, but my father said that we would be going to the temple at Yishun to pray first before going for our breakfast. Well, I had to go out to pray and had a second breakfast. Never mind about having another breakfast, since the breakfast I had in camp was not that good anyway.

After we came back home, I just rested for a while before going out for Violin lesson. Well, at least my father was fetching me to Plaza Singapura, so I didn't have to go out so early. Well, since I had no time for lunch, and I had only just eaten my breakfast, I just went straight for the lesson.

Well, it had been 4 weeks since I had my last violin lesson (the first week was being public holiday, and subsequent 3 weeks for the NDP CCR). Hmm... the teacher could guess that I was somewhat involved in NDP during the last 3 Sundays, which I was kind of surprise from that. Well, as I had not attend the lessons for 3 weeks, I had forgotten a bit how to hold the bow... Well, at least I still managed to catch up fast enough with the rest of the class. That's what good about it if you have some musical background while learning the violin.

After the lesson ended, I went to Synwin Enterprises at Tanjong Katong Complex to buy a Viola music book there. After that, I went straight home. Thought that I could rest after that, but my cousins came after a while I reached home, so I had to entertain them.

Later in the evening, my family and my relatives went to United Square to had our dinner. Well, it's father's day, but it seemed that our fathers may had to foot the bill, since they were earning much more than the rest. Ok, we decided to had our dinner at Soup Restaurant, but as there were too many people, we had to wait for one hour before we could get the space there. Well, the food were nice, nicer that what I initially thought. Maybe you could give that restaurant a try if you have the money...

After that, we went back home, and after writing this blog, I'm going to lie on the bed and sleep straight away.

MiZ Speaks
Ok, think I will write something here before I go back to sleep. Well, I received my Grade 6 Theory of Music results on Tuesday. Ok, I got 84/100, which is a Merit. think that's quite good enough, even thought I didn't get a distinction, which means that I will miss out the Hedy King award, heard from my cousins that it is about £70 (which is about S$200), but never mind, at least I didn't waste my $108 for the exam. Here is my exam results, if you want to have a look.

Well, my cousin Winnie got 76/100 for her Grade 6 Theory of Music exam (taken in Oct 2004), which means I do better than her (HAHAHA... :P).

Ok, thought of taking up flute as my next instrument, but my cousin Winnie told me not to do so, as flute is easy to pickup. She said I should pickup an instrument that is difficult to master and also very few people that know how to play it as well. She asked me to do Oboe instead... Well, how do you know? We actually shared a similar kind of thinking. What I can say is that I really wanted to do Oboe, that is if I had that money. Oboe is one instrument that is very difficult to master, and very expensive to learn as well. The instrument itself is also very expensive as well, and there are very few Oboe teachers around here as well... She then asked me to do the Clarinet instead, but I don't really like transposing instruments, as I will get confused with the written notes and the sounding pitch. The thing is that I have perfect pitch, so it can be very difficult for me to learn a transposing instrument. Think I will stick to flute first instead...
