you have learnt well, my young padawan....
haiz... came home from orchestra rehearsal in nafa... i had the choice whether to go or not, but i did... i figured i couldnt leave and forsake my cello section.. haha... i regretted... the piece was mad.. played beethoven 3rd symphony... its crazy... first of all, my sight-reading isnt really good.. secondly, the piece is mad... thirdly, the piece is difficult.. shall i continue?
have to play for string class tomorrow, and was only informed of it this afternoon.. ao last minute.. what to do? its nafa.. oh well.. still thinking of what to play.. something easy and sight-readable.. probably popper no.3...
my ps teacher has changed... it used to be my uncle.. now its yu jing, the sso cello associate principal... well, i went for my first lesson last friday.. i really liked it... she focused on all the basics, my posture, the articulation, bow control, etc... she's good i tell you.. GOOD... anyway, the exercises she gave me looks very easy.. LOOKS.. looks can be deceiving... i tried to play it, and i was out of tune.. well, it was supposed to teach you how to play it in tune.. haha... it figures... at least now i have something to practice... hopefully i can improve and take my playing to another level with her... no pieces for now...
feelings can be deceiving... if you fall prey and slave to it, it will lead you astray, and probably to your own destruction, but if you control it and know what to do with it, your life will be wonderful...
probably...
well, maybe.......
perhaps......
possibly.........
just dont take my word for it...

Illuminati....
whee whee...
reading dan brown's angels and demons... its really really really really really really really good and exciting.. really a very good book.. its not as critical as da vinci code.. its more of a scientific fact book, other than some rubbish which is commonly found in dan's books.... well, the amazing thing was that the day before i started reading this book, which i borrowed from my neighbour, i was watching a documentary on discovery channel about megastructures.... the CERN (Conseil European pour la Recherche Nucleaire) is building this huge underground particle accelerator machine, which will be the world's biggest machine in the world when completed... the purpose? to experiment and research on the big bang... the whole machine underground will be shaped in a circle, with a circumference of 27km... what it does is it uses magnetic fields to accelerate 2 particles of electrons or something in opposite directions, then making them collide into each other at a speed of 180,000km per sec.... this will create a huge explosion, and create energy, which they hope will be used for our power supply in the future... its energy output is 100% for this energy source compared to nuclear energy, which is only about 8% efficient... soon after i watched it, i borrowed the book from my neighbour, and read the first few chapters, and was shocked to find out that it was almost exactly what the discovery channel was saying... they also mentioned about the building of the machine in europe... so i guess this fact is based on that event..
anyway, the book is really good... what happened in the book is that a scientist was murdered.. he happened to discover how to make anti-matter, the opposite of matter... thats where the religious part comes in... this scientist was a devout christian, who was determined to prove that God existed through science and the big bang... that God was the one who created the big bang and that the 2 opposing forces came from him instead of nothing... basically he got murdered because he made a breakthrough by creating anti-matter, and the illuminati, an elite group of mysterious and brightest scientists in the world who are against any religions, espeically the catholics.... it appears they are behind the biggest conspiracy ever... long story.. anyway, they stole the anti-matter... whats wrong with that? anti-matter destroys matter once it touches matter, including air.. its destructive power is enormous... 5000 nanograms of anti-matter, when in contact with matter, is enough to blind you, even when you are not looking directly at it.... so imagine half a gram of it being stolen, and being used as a time bomb...
on top of that, the pope just died, and all the cardinals are gathered in the vatican city to elect a new pope.. there are however 4 of them, who are the most prefeerred and highest ranking of them, were kidnapped by the illuminati, and threatened to kill one of them every hour... so john langdon comes in to find the lair of the illuminati, which are clues laid down in ancient artifacts which are so subtle that most people, of not all will not even notice, like a statue pointing in a certain direction, is actually pointing to another marker...
its actually too much to say it out... go read it!! just make sure you treat it as a work of fiction... i still cant believe that people would really believe in the da vinci code... oh well...
this is probably one of my longest post ever...

The Prodigy.........
zzzzzzzzz.............
just ate me dinner... chicken chop bought home by my dad... not bad.. haha... oh wells...
went for pco rehearsal for the rossini stabat concert this coming sat.. it was probably one of the worst rehearsal i've ever had with pco, and christoven thinks so too for him.. my concentration was down, and everything seemed like a blur for me.. you know when you are not focusing, and then the thigns you see arent appearing that real to you? and somehow the lights around you seem to dim or flicker? it was exactly what i felt, only that the light was literally flickering above me.. one of the lamps was spoilt... and a bunch of wrong notes came from my cello... i wonder what mr lim thinks of me now...
andris was principal cellist, as usual, and she smsed me in the morning that its gonna be a sight-reading session, and it will be super scary.. uh, coming from her? cannot be trusted... when we started reading the score, she played as if she practiced for weeks already.. not surprising... haha... what do you expect from a prodigy? nono... its proooooooooooooooooooooooooodigy, as alan would put it...
well, havent been contacting wei kang for the past few days... for some of you who knew, well, yea... wei kang!!! oi!! we're here if you ever need us ok? dont do anything stupid.. really... hope you're doing well larh.. nothing much i can say.. i'm not the kind of guy who can comfort someone... so i hope at least i can help out in any way?
i've been thinking... prodigies... in the musical world especially... what exactly brought them about? was it intense training and discipline by the parents? or a natural gift that happens just like that? i dunno... maybe both... it happened that both my brother and sister were under strict discipline from my dad... i didnt receive as much attenti0n from him compared to them, because i learn cello, not violin, which my dad specialises in... he couldnt really help me much when i was young, and all he could really do was to force me to practice and practice... i cant help but feel a sense of jealousy, enviness and regret when i look at those really good people out there.... if only i could be like them.. if only i practiced like mad when i was young... if only............ then things would be much easier now... nothing i can do now... but practice and practice and practice to make up for lost time... oh well....
now i'm depressed... =.=
