today is for slacking. yesterday was my last day in ri! wasn't actually planning to wake up late, but since i always wake up late when i'm not working... i went to sleep last night after watching Berlin Phil's performance at Waldbuhne on arts central, thinking i'd probably wake up late today. but it turned out differently. i was wide awake before the alarm clock rang. which was too early for me to do anything much cos i don't think the baby downstairs has woken up yet. so i continued reading a storybook i brought to ri yesterday to kill time... it was incredible, i managed to read almost 100 pages during my free periods yesterday. haha that just goes to show how slack tuesdays are.
ok so today wasn't totally for slacking, i practised too. like duh, as usual right. but still lazed around watching nonsense shows on tv without actually watching them... if you know what i mean. hmm looking at the last few posts, i think i just blog mainly on wednesdays. haha cos wednesdays are slacking days.

oh emz, there are no study loans for people going to study overseas. just too bad. nevermind la. i'll just have to settle for staying in singapore. we can always save money and do our masters somewhere! =) and in the meantime i shall practise hard for exams to make my achievements not look too ugly.

emily passed me the musical baton... so here goes...

The Musical Baton
Total volume of music files on my computer:
370.9 MB super little... don't use the computer much...
The last CD I bought was:
hmmm... somehow i can't just buy one cd at a time. the last time i bought cds was at towers... what i bought:
1. box set of Brahms' Symphonies, plus the Academic Festival and Tragic Overtures, by Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Sir Georg Solti.
2. Vaughan Williams' Symphonies No. 8 & 9, by London Philharmonic Orchestra, Bernard Haitink.
3. a 2-CD set of Stravinsky's works, by various orchestras and conductors. haha seems weird that i actually buy weird compilation CDs like this, but it was cheap plus i didn't have any Stravinsky things so just wanted to listen.
Song playing right now:
nothing. i don't usually listen to music when i'm using the computer, most of the time there are already songs playing on my brother's computer. that explains why i have so little music files on the computer... i only rip CDs into the computer when i want to upload them.
My top five:
Wah hard decision to make haha... ok these are five of some things i've been hooked on recently, in no particular order:
1. Brahms' Symphony No.3
2. Poulenc's Three Novelettes
3. Ravel's sonatine
4. Sibelius' Violin Concerto
5. Mozart's The Magic Flute
Who to pass this baton to?
eh... i have no idea, since emz seems to have passed this to most of the people i'd think of passing it to.
