i am totally lost

continuous reprimandsss by teacher

feeling moody

i've been showing

bad progress on my learning

why did it happen to me

not enough practise?

wrong way of practise?

hey you wake up
please

cant make teacher

felt disappointed

on me

oh god

i'm not stubborn

i'm not goin to make the mistake

purposely

but i just dont know

how to control

the dynamics n playing style

of the stupid Beethoven

too much of strength

will cause

a sharp tone

too less of strength

sorry man

no contrast at all

hey!how?

arghh

i'm slacking behind others

my Ginastera

rotten already

wat the hell am i doing

introspection needed

nvr felt so retarded n idiot

on my studies

or learning,whatever

I'M SUCH A IDIOT

damn

Adapt from http://musicstudents.blogspot.com/
by the violinist Yap Ling

Do you ever wonder or know :

How much each music note costs you if you don’t practice?
How much time and money you spend on your normal school as compare to your music lessons. Does it do justice?
Why others are learning so much faster than you? Ask them and compare the difference.
Since you are already making such an investment, why not trying your best to make it worthy? Why wasting your time and money?
Playing an instrument is not like other study where you can burn "mid-night torch" and still be able to get a good result. The playing is physical and your muscles need to be trained to be able to take control.
Lazy people always cannot find time and the busy one always have plenty of time. Why? Are the excuses really necessary?
If geniuses are born genius without hard work and sacrifices?
The more you like certain thing the more you spend time on it and is the same vice versa.
Students tend to do well if they have encouragement and support from their piers and especially their family.
Learning to play an instrument is like paddling the boat upstream against the current. Once you stop the boat will move backward because of the current. Well, that is what happened when you stop playing.

转贴自http://my-signatures.blogspot.com

“音乐，尤其是古典的，就让很多人误解，要靠这个赚钱，很多人就认为根本不可能。但是，我说你们都错得太离谱了。现在是什么样的一个社会，很多艺术家都已经改变自己的脾气来迎合这个现实的都市。现在真的会有赚不了生活的艺术家吗？

现在的艺术家，音乐家，钢琴家，已经不一样了。当然，要到‘家’毕竟还有一段距离，而这段距离，绝对不是短的，也不是平坦的。但是如果你喜欢音乐，享受它，那还不容易到‘家’吗？最重要的是，理性分析自己要的是什么，坚持自己的理念，勇敢地迈向自己的梦想。

是谁不曾被说过练琴很吵？

是谁不曾被说过教琴没饭吃？

是谁不曾被说过教琴不稳定？

但是，是不是这样就放弃理想？然后一辈子都过着自己不喜欢的生活，做着自己不喜欢的工作，然后不出10年就开始厌倦，厌恶人生。

如果是这样，我宁愿开开心心的吃面包，也不要流着眼泪吃鱼翅。这不是艺术家的脾气，只是一个人对自己的责任，就是让自己开心。”

十分同意这篇部落，但有多少人明白？

不知道我能不能对自己负责？

妈

我不想违背我所要的

我不想转科

2008-08-24T15:47:00.002+08:00

请不要卖掉我的钢琴

不然我死给你看

不要逼我

——————————

我是天生的失败者

你们不要理我

因为你们会觉得很失望

现在好想练琴

2008-08-24T15:30:00.003+08:00

原来

音乐是有钱人子弟才能读的

原来

家人是那么讨厌我练琴的

原来

妈妈一直不看好我读音乐

原来

音乐让人看不到它的前景

原来

音乐是那么不受欢迎的

原来

读音乐是那么让人看不起的

原来

在人家眼中读音乐的是不会读书的人

我开始泄气了

因为。。。

我不是有钱人

我练琴很吵让他们觉得很烦

妈妈只希望我读account

妈妈说教琴赚不到钱，像乞丐，像做散工

有教就有钱

连公积金都没有

工作不稳定

亲戚和以前sponsor我读书的uncle

知道我要读音乐都静静保持沉默

表示不支持的态度

我坚持到很累

2008-08-13T09:31:00.002+08:00

YAY!!

about the music course at NAFA

to me..

it was a bit dissapointed

the fees was EXPENSIVE indeed..

the whole course is

3 yrs diploma + 1 yr degree

altogether 4 years

diploma course fees (TGD):

S$8,250 x 3yrs = S$24,750

convert to RM becomes RM56,925

OMG..

the degree course fees

S$19,000

convert to RM becomes RM43,700

so my whole studies at NAFA will cost

RM56,925 + RM43,700 = RM100,925

more than 100K

crazy!!

where can i get these money from???

besides these

the miscellaneous fees

transportation fees

if i decided to study there

must find a part-time job

or else i wont survive

i think i wont stay at s'pore

as there will be a large burden

the renting fee,household fees..

just cant imagine..

in these 2 yrs

i wont be going there

have to wait sis back from UK

for the meanwhile

i think should learn well on my piano first

or my life will be difficult if i go there

without planning

hopefully can get scholarship at NAFA

after having good preparation in this 2 yrs

May GOD lead me to success =)

2008-03-13T19:06:00.004+08:00

What does your birthday mean?

Aug,13

You are sincere and easy going. Flattering and charming around are not your style. You care so much for freedom that often leads you to the difficult path. Because of your sincerity, most people find you easy to be around although you are sometimes too straightforward. Your Love, Your gentleness, care and sincerity make you an attractive person. Even though you don't intend to be charming, but you naturally are, especially in the eyes of opposite sex.

My confidence is increasing and increasing...still increasing now..haha..
Learnt a lot of technics and skills from her..extremely happy!!
so I am here to share my joyous ^3^
In the past, I thought that once I reach gr8,
I will be very good in piano..
however, it proves me wrong when I start my first lesson with Ms Hau..
There are still a lot to improve
furthermore, there are many technics which my previous teacher had never taught me before!!!
It was amazing~It helps me a lot on how to perform well on stage!!

hanging onto the edge of a cliff..
awaiting for a miracle
the days r getting near..
nothing has been touched on
starring at the aural notes
forcing the contents into the brain
a sharp pain in the head
the feeling of an expanding brain
with a flow of tears...
gazing at the music scores
trying to perform the best to the examiner
fingers r aching..
arms r numb..
heart is thumping fast..
gasping for air
struggling in the strong current
the blurred vision
she knew she was lost
looking up at the sky hoping to see a shooting star
bt all was just a black empty sky
a lonely me
