Butterflies in my stomach
I don't know why I'm feeling very nervous about tomorrow's aural exam!!! It should be fine, but I just keep getting the jitters. There's not much I can do also... practise a bit using Auralia, but other than that, I can't really do anything. Anyway sometimes it's a bit pointless to practise cos it's supposed to be quite natural by now lor. If it's not then I don't think I'm fit to be doing music at a tertiary level. Ahhh but I'm still scared. What if something happens, like my hearing suddenly becomes screwed and I just can't tell what's the answer?!

There was once during TMP when our teacher was quizzing us and the answer to my turn was major 3rd, but I kept saying diminished 4th. Although it's technically right (M3=dim4), well C - E is a major third and C - F flat is a diminished 4th. So if you had to dictate the top note, you would write E instead of F flat wouldn't you? It doesn't make any sense to write F flat in this context. Haha unless it's dictation of a line and the key is C flat major or some key with even more flats heehee imagine that! It'll really be evil of the people who set the paper to give such a key for dictation. Hmm but C flat is ok, cos just think of everything in C major and flatten every note lor. =) Seriously, I know I don't have to treat this paper so seriously until I get nervous about it the night before. It's just an aural paper, for goodness' sake! And judging from the standard of the questions in the diagnostic test we had during the start of term I, there shouldn't really be anything I have to worry about. *fingers crossed*

Couldn't really concentrate on doing anything more after dinner... and I actually went to play the pig-stacking game at orisinal! Haha, cos all the blogs I usually read have been checked and re-checked several times in hope of any updates already... which is stupid cos it would obviously be sleeping time in Singapore so once I've read the newest entries there wouldn't be anything left to read. Unless someone stays up all night blogging haha. So there was nothing to distract me from my thoughts. Orisinal helped a little bit la. Hmm I got a bit nostalgic also, cos it reminded me of the period of time when we liked to play orisinal on the computers in the mep room! We are so fortunate to have been there before IP started, with the IP students now I don't think they can really have the mep rooms distributed among the different levels (I think?). Dunno what's going on there now, poot and I will go back to tj to visit when we're back in Singapore! So exciting. I hope the mep trip to London in December would be on too, then hopefully we can go there to meet up with them!

Ok la, think I shall sleep early. Can't do anything, sleep lor... at least it might guarantee a clear mind tomorrow right. 早睡早起身体好!=D
