Canon in C & "Promo Pic"

Love this piano piece. And it's a dream come true for me to learn this piece and play it on a piano. Hopefully can play it on a grand piano 1 day!



ps: the change of camera angle was not intentional~

Fantastic Week!

What a great week it has been! Just last week, I had problems with work & worrying if I can pass my IPPT (the thought of remedial training kills me~). Didn’t know my fitness deteriorated so much after NS. I could only do 4 pull ups, I was almost dying after doing 20 over sit ups, standing broad jumps is always inconsistent and my best run in the last few weeks for an estimated 2.4km run was 12:51. I needed to reach 12:40 to pass!

This week, my mistake in work was resolved & the other problems should be settled soon. I ordered my digital piano on Friday! Bought 2 shirts (last time I bought was like last June & the last last time was 2 years ago). Hardly pamper myself~ I also got to watch Jay Chou’s concert on Friday! Thanks to the free tickets my Uncle gave. The visuals in the beginning was phewwwwwwwwwwwww weeeeet. Really amazing. Don’t know how he did it, but he was seemingly in a sphere, flying in mid air and rotating. Then he played an electric guitar. Freaking awesome. Of course, I don’t think he was really inside, but it was very real. They call it 4D. I tried to find videos online to re-watch, but they don’t justify what I saw live. Really amazing stuff. But other than that, I was pretty disappointed. His vocals was good (sang extremely high for some songs) but I look for other things in a concert. I would rather stay at home and listen to his CDs if there isn’t gonna be anything different. And there really wasn’t much change of arrangement and stuff. He didn’t sing songs he wrote for others too (like the many he did in his previous concerts). In his last concert, he changed the arrangement of Shuang Jie Gun and that was pretty refreshing. He also had a piano duet with Yu Hao like in his movie, Secret. So overall:
Visual: 10
Music: 8
Diversity: 0

And I passed my IPPT on Saturday! What a miracle~ My prayers have not been in vain!
SBJ – 221cm (3 pts)
Sit Up – 31 (2 pts)
Pull Up – 5 (2 pts)
Shuttle Run – 10:4 secs (4 pts)
2.4km – 12:19!!!!!! (2 pts)

After knowing that I passed my static stations, I just ran for my life in the 2.4km~ Just 3 more points, and I would have qualified for $100. But I’m just glad to pass now. No remedial trainings!!! Aiming silver next!

For My Beloved Junior

Felt alot for this song after Junior passed away and decided to learn it. It's Sadness & Sorrow from the anime, Naruto.

A very nice display done for Junior by my mom:

Emptiness

It’s hard for some people to understand how attached humans can be to dogs. Junior is part of our family member and it’s not an exaggeration at all. We all love him to bits. And it’s extremely painful for me because everything around me reminds me of him. He was no longer there when I woke up this morning. I looked to the mattress he loves to lean on and he wasn’t there. I went downstairs to buy lunch and every step walked, there were images of me walking with him. But he won’t be doing it anymore. I came back home and he wasn’t there to greet me anymore. There was also no glutton eyeing my food, no frightened furball cozying to me when there's thunder. I cried in every scenario because he was simply in every part of our lives. And he is not anymore.

Reviews of Idol 9 (So far~)

I had 3 favourites during the auditions. They are Andrew Garcia, Lee Dewyze & Bryan Walker (The policeman). During Hollywood week, Andrew impressed me once again with his rendition of Paula Abdul’s Straight Up. Lee didn’t really impress and there were no footages of Bryan at all. But I had another favourite: Crystal Bowersox. So among my 4 favourites, 3 made it to the top 24. But despite all its hype, Season 9 haven’t got me anticipating for more yet. The 1 thing I saw this season was that there seemed to be more contestants who are willing to rearrange the songs and I like that~

The girls’ top 24 performance was kinda boring for me. There weren’t any standouts at all and some were unbearable to listen. Crystal was doing ok. I was surprised Simon Cowell said it’s going to be the girls’ year. The guys did much better, in my opinion. Andrew was not at his best, but was ok. And Lee is back to being 1 of my favourites again after that performance. The song wasn’t great but there was potential. I like that kind of husky rock voice similar to Chris Daughtry, David Cook, Nickelback & Creed.

I think having 4 judges confuses the contestants. What is the contestant gonna do with 4 different opinions that contradicts? I liked Ellen Degeneres during Hollywood week. I thought she was funny. Critics also said that she did great during Hollywood week but remarked that those clips were not ‘live’, so naturally we saw the best of her. Anything boring she might have said was not shown. It came true! I thought she was like Paula Abdul! Can’t stand her. I know the top 24 beat thousands of people to be there, but you don’t have to say everybody’s great after their performance! She did say in her own show “The Ellen Degeneres Show” that a live performance is totally different from listening to it at home. She refused to say the girls were horrible, but just ‘totally different & she would watch from home now to judge’. Haha. I do enjoy the occasional humour from her, but she’s too much like Paula.
