What happened today...

...is really disappointing.

Today, Tuesday, 14th August 2007, I had a Grade 3 Piano Exam(Practical) at Impiana Hotel KLCC. Summary... Piano learners should/would/may(?) be familiar with exams if they've had them before.

The wait was 30 minutes.

The place was COLD.

Well, summary as follows...

My examiner was a British man.

He seemed a cheerful, decent person. However, one cannot judge a book by his cover...

Scales
He asked me to play only so few scales, which I felt was a waste, after my efforts to get them all exactly right before the exam, succeeding in every one, he only asked me to play a little bit of each. With my first scale (A major with both hands), I made a bit of a mistake. The cold in my hands seemed to condense into sweat that sort of hindered my progress.

Pieces
1st: A1: Hornpipe
Good overall.

2nd: B2: Waldvoglien (Little Woodland Bird)
Good overall. Maybe a TINY mistake somewhere but OK.

3rd: B3: Bonny Bobby Bluetoe
Good overall too, but the ending chorus was not right, although it did SOUND OK.

Sight Reading
I don't wanna talk about it... But for my readers... I will...
Ignored the key signature COMPLETELY...
Out of time...
Repeated a bit(maybe a LOT)...
Playing OK at first but...
Counting all wrong...

UGH. DON'T WANNA REMEMBER.

Aural!
Great!

Well, I dunno if I'm gonna pass.....

The scales, pieces and aural are the only sectons with which I count on getting ANY marks at all... =(

WAAH!!!!!

Will I pass?

Later...

Sungei Wang!
Had lunch at a place called Hot Mama (????????????????????) in Sungei Wang. The place looks nice, with a weird twist to it. And it's all orange. I had a set of Sizzling Sweet Sour Fish and rice with some black seeds of unknown origin in it.

Victoria Music
NO HSM2 CD YET. T_T
Then, when I'm comfortably back and about to get ready for tuition in half an hour;
Handphone: [ringing]
*presses call button to answer*

Me

Store guy

"Hello?"

"Uh, hello, this is Victoria Music, ah, the High School Musical 2 CD is now available."

"...OK... Bye..."

Back in the real world:

My face: *expression of terror, horror, frustration, misery and ager at the same time, thus distorting my face* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No... CD...

*sniff*

Then, headphones didn't get repaired.

The guy in the Creative shop was like, "Miss, you have to understand..." blablabla.
He said "you have to understand" to me mum at least 5 times in that conversation interrogation.

He said that the shop is only a reseller and they don't have the power to disassemble or repair it.

So we have to go somewhere (perhaps a Carrefour in Bukit Jalil?) and get it repaired there(if they do repair it, that is.)

So, going to Sungei Wang and/or Low Yat was a waste of time except for the food, which we could've gone someplace better (like KFC or BK).

I hate today...

But perhaps...

I SHALL GET MY SOUNDTRACK SOON ENOUGH!!!


On the other hand, exam marks...

Lowest to Highest:

Sejarah: 56 - C
Kemahiran Hidup: 72
Geografi: 80 - A
Bahasa Melayu: 83 - A
Science: 84 - A
English: 93 - A
Mathematics: 95 - A
Pendidikan Moral: 98


Total: 661/800

Nice, but I'll probably drop in position, which I have been rising in since the beginning of the year.

My tuition teachers are really good!

Pn Robiah helped me get my first BM A since UPSR!

Mrs Ng helped my Maths maintain the marks of 95-98 all year now! OMG THANKS MRS NG!!!!!!!

Speaking of Mrs. Ng, I'm gonna have to get ready to go to her tuition now...

Well, later then.
B-bye!
