[Piano Exam]

I am...

feeling: Happy, but so cold!!!
watching: Sailor Moon R

Gosh, how long as it been since I blogged, eh? ^^;; =Sigh= I haven't had much time to blog lately ;_; Well, I dunno, I guess I have, but I guess I haven't had the inspiration to...? ^^;;

I've also been rather... lazy/not-in-the-mood with Bentos =sigh= Haven't made any for the past couple of weeks, but I'll hopefully make my (last one for a while due to Christmas Hols) Bento this Thursday =]

Anyways! As you may (or may not) know, I had my Grade 8 piano exam last Thursday... That might not mean anything to those who don't live in the UK, but basically, Grade 8 is the highest grade you'll really need in an instrument, so yeah, means quite a lot to me ^^;;

Erm... Well, the results should be back in a couple of weeks, so I'll let you guys know what I got! =D (Hopefully I passed! =fingers crossed=) Thanks to all those friends who wished me luck and prayed for me <333

How'd it go? Well, twas actually okay ^_^ My scales were pretty good, apart from this *one* scale (E flat minor in sixths apart) that I *could not do* ;_; I was so annoyed cos I tried it *twice* as well and I STILL couldn't get it right =sigh= Gave up on that one in the end...

The rest were okay though =3

My pieces, I'm glad to say, were okay =3 My first one: I didn't even make *one* mistake!!! I was so pleased <333 I did a couple of slips where I accidentally pressed two keys at once, but that was about it! Yay!!! =DDD

My second piece, though... Gosh I messed that one up =sigh= I basically messed up the beginning, then got back on track, but then she coughed and distracted me, so I messed up the middle, but then got back on track, then I somehow managed to mess up the end too ;_;

It wasn't *that* bad, but... =sigh= Stupid Mr. Mozart ;_; My third piece started off well, though, but then towards the end, because there were so many massive jumps in chords from one end of the piano to the other, I kept playing wrong notes x_x;;

I don't think she realised though, until I played so many wrong chords she had to look down at the music to have a look heh heh ^^;; (She was focused on my playing before then ^^;; -- you can see her reflection in the piano =3) Hopefully it wasn't *that* bad though =3

BUT!!! For the FIRST time in my ENTIRE history of sight-reading, I think I passed this one!!! YAY!!!! =DDDDDDDDD <333333

Now that the areas I've passed have been told... erm... I basically *know* I failed my aurals ^^;; I mean, singing bottom line? Hah. Telling what cadence is what? Double HAH! And my sight-singing was an absolute disaster. I mean, I basically squawked my way through it... I was like "Erm... lar... larrr lar... lar????!! =Insert more random un-note-like noises here="

She asked me if I would like to try again, and I gave her a very honest answer: "not really ^^;;" heh heh ^^;; And modulations?? Weren't gonna happen. I completely guessed, and also completely RAMBLED through what the period of the piece she played was... >_>;; I think I got it wrong anyways =sigh=

*HOPEFULLY* I've still passed though! =D I'll let you guys know when my results are back ^_^

In other news on Kuri's life: It's Christmas soon =D I'm actually just looking forward to the holiday... SO tired lately x_x;; I have so much work to do ;_; (Well, actually, it's not that much work--it's just SO DARN HARD to do it! I don't get Linear Programming at all!!!)

People ask me like... what I want for Christmas, and the honest answer is: nothing ^^;; Well, nothing that they can buy me, at least =/ There's one main thing I want for Christmas: Snow.

We rarely, if not, NEVER get snow here ;_; =sigh= I wish for snow...

Okies~ I forgotten what else I wanted to say so I'll leave it at that heh heh ^^;; I also intend to update more often! ^^;; I know I've been absolutely AWFUL with blogging lately =sigh= I promise to blog more often again!!! I've just had my mind occupied a lot lately ^^;;

I have to say, though, even though I've been *completely* dead from NuTang lately, I must still thank you all so much for visiting my blog anyways!!! <333333 Much love to you all!!!

@Anonymous, Heya! ^_^ Well, before I answer your questions, I'd like to ask you a few of my own:
1, Who are you?
2, How did you know I went to WUCCF?
3, Do I know you? ^^;;
Thank you very much for praying for me! <3 I'll answer your questions next time, if I get mine answered ^^;; (You don't have to put your full name down for my first question...)

L8r,

The words "piano exam" make me cringe... I've hidden those memories deeep inside, and yet they still haunt me. :/
