mepers outing today... it was a great chance for us to get together again, since we always seem to have clashing schedules. that was until we all stopped working haha. we had a nice lunch at billy bombers, during which we were so entertained by ourselves that we frequently burst out in laughter... haha not surprising since we all have a weird sense of humour and laugh at things others would think are perfectly normal. after lunch, we watched Mr & Mrs Smith at ps... haha a bit lame but funny and amusing. then it was time to go; emily had rehearsal, kankan and pohning went home, and i collected my cert at paragon.

reached home and checked my email for any reply from nafa... luckily, losing (or rather, throwing away) the receipts doesn't mean that i can't get the refund. it just means that i have to pay two dollars to them for printing new ones. *ahem*...

piano wasn't that bad today, but that doesn't say much cos i've probably been playing beethoven and szymanowski for ages! beethoven felt worse than last week, especially the fourth movement... i totally screwed up by tripping almost every five bars. haha and cos i "memorise without memorising"... (as in, the memory of the piece comes from how well my fingers know it and not from how well my brain can remember the notes)... i sort of just messed up lots of places after tripping. and for the first movement i totally missed out a huge chunk of the first variation... about 60% of the one-page variation! cos it's sort of in ABA structure so after playing "A"... i thought it was the end of the variation and went on to the next. =\ hahaha think she's so bored of hearing beethoven and szymanowski that she told me to bring new things after the class lesson week. which is bad, i have nothing to bring! beethoven op.78 is still in the playing-notes-only stage, messiaen is in a big mess and i can't play syzmanowski no.4 without stopping every few chords to check whether i got the right notes. probably about the most ready is poulenc, but it's still only about 40%-50% done. which says a lot about how bad the rest are i guess.
