Heeheeheehee hahahahahahaha I think I'm just going mad.

My first school holiday out of Singapore. Erm, ok la... if you don't count those holiday trips when I was younger. This is just different from having holidays in Singapore... I dunno why, maybe it's just because it is!

Last night I went for Andras Schiff's recital, he played Beethoven's sonatas, Op.31 Nos. 1, 2 & 3, and Op.53. First half was a bit boring, except for the few interesting parts. Eh, duh... if it's not interesting then it's boring right. But the first sound he made stunned me. Cos it was so... I dunno how to describe it... focused? Ms Ching used to say my sound is too scattered, I must learn to concentrate it together. Complicated, intangible, cheem theory for me. I think if not for the futility of repeating things again and again, she'd still be telling me the same thing now. But now I can understand what she meant, although I still dunno how to achieve that sound. Another thing that impressed me was how clear and delicate his playing was. All that fingerwork!

For some reason I've always been a bit biased against Andras Schiff, whether cos records by other pianists were recommended or cos I get influenced by people who don't like his playing. But yesterday I think he wasn't that bad, other than for the boringness of the first three sonatas. The Waldstein was so much better than the other three, which makes me wonder whether it was because of the change of pianos? He played on a Bosendorfer in the first half and for Waldstein he played on the Steinway... haha just a random thought cos otherwise why did he have two pianos on stage for? He could have played all the sonatas on either one of the pianos. Pity he didn't choose other interesting things to play, cos the Waldstein was really good. His encore was a bit of a yawn again, he played something which he introduced as the original second movement of the previous sonata. By 'previous sonata', it's a bit ambiguous as to whether he meant the Waldstein or the Op.31 No.3. *Shrugs* I dunno anything... I'm really really just an ignorant student.

I wanted to wake up early today to go to school to practise. No, I'm not mad ok... I'm having piano lesson tmr that's why I'm practising. Cos my Bach totally cmi. Actually, I didn't do much to improve it today either. Bummers. I woke up super late, like 10 plus? Cos some drunkards (or if they weren't drunk, then they are irritating fools) were making a huge din last night/this morning at 2am. I dunno how long it lasted but it certainly seemed very long to me. Surprisingly there were still people left to make such noise... but anyway, at the beginning I thought my flat was empty cos it was super quiet on Friday night. But at 2 plus one of my flatmates came home. So I thought there were still two of us left in the flat. But I was wrong again... last night, I heard another flatmate and her boyfriend come home. Weird. I haven't got to speak to either of them so far, somehow I don't bump into them... we seem to live on totally differen't time schemes. But I assume their terms just haven't ended? Especially the flatmate doing pysiotherapy.

Ok, I'm going to catch an early sleep tonight. I don't want to wake up late again tomorrow.

Oh ya, I forgot to mention, I vacuumed my room today! Yay! I celebrated this by walking around my room without wearing my slippers -_-''' Heehee. See poot, I'm not lazy k. And I'm determined to keep my slippers off in my room. As a motivation to keep the floor in its clean state, and as a motivation to vacuum the floor whenever it gets dirty. =) Anyway, the clean floor does wonders! Last time whenever I was thinking of tidying my room I'd always procrastinate. But now with the floor so clean, I actually FEEL like tidying up my room! Yay.
