Once I finish practising "Someday the dreams will end" I will proceed on to this piece. But this is fucking hard, as you can see the way Kyle plays it. It's one tough piece to practice and guaranteed for experienced pianist only. I'm only a beginner...
But let's just hope I can do it. And I'm not gonna stop until I got it.
Cannon piano seems to be so much easier than this.
Now. Let's just study for god's sake. Prelim is nearing, or imminent. :)
Reminiscence.
If you don't forget about the past, you cannot move on. If you cannot move on, you will never progress. Take it as a learning experience. Failure is mother of success. Don't look for it, it will come to you naturally.

Another interesting facts:
This funny story occured during Geography lesson this morning, when we were supposed to do a few questions and hand in when the period ends.
I was lazy to do because, well, the answers to the questions were quite obvious, so I just copied every single thing from Siwadol. And I mean everything.
Ken finished before me and he passed it to Miss Thia for a quick check-through. Overall she said his answers deserved full marks before he had clearly stated the neccessary points and elaborations.
But When it came to my turn, she looked through the paper and this is what she said:
"Hmmm, I think your answers were not very clear leh, compared to Ken's one. You see, he has elaborated clearly and has enough points to support his stand. As for you, hmmmm..... I think you need to explain more ok?"
Ken overheard this and we both ROFLOAS. (Rolled on the floors laughing our asses off.)
The funniest part is she actually DID compare my answer with Ken's!
I copied everything from him, and we received different comments?
LOL. No comments.
But I have no offence against Miss Thia. She's a good teacher really.
The Maths paper was easy. A bit confusing here and there but that's the minor part. I should get 90% or above. I think MOE should reduce the time duration for P2 by 30 minutes. I finished the paper early and even checked through it, but still had to sit and wait for another 1 hour 45 minutes.
That thoughtful look with the affectionate smile.... doesn't tell me much.
My problem now is no longer combined humanities or English, but Physics, Chemistry and A. Maths. Have not been paying enough attention. -.-
The dry beef vermicelli, a Vietnamese traditional food, I had for dinner today reminded me of my happy past.
We were having a little lunch break in between our work in the restaurant when she suggested we eat something different. She told me to eat the dry beef vermicelli because she liked it. As the chefs were not around so we decided to make the food on our own. All the ingredients were there and the procedures were pretty simple so we didn't need the chefs after all.
She did all the cutting and chopping vegetables and sauces while I prepared the noodles and beefs. We worked together to prepare the food and even joked around as if nobody was there. So and so, when the food were ready, we sat in a quiet corner, where nobody could disturb us, and enjoyed the meal we prepared on our own together.
Later, she prepared coffee for me (when she knew I was sleepy) and I drank it. Strangely enough, I didn't feel the usual bitterness of this black coffee that my weird brother loves so much at all, but instead I could feel all the love and care that made it. And I started to treasure life a bit more. My body relaxed and I looked deeply at her. She returned by a little smile, a cute and child-like smile that I would never forget.
Those were the memories.

"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction."
I'm gonna remember this quote.
today is 15 August, the day where the Vietnamese pay their respects and loves to their mothers. The children will go to the temple and be blessed by the monks and receive roses. Those who lost their mothers will receive white roses, and those whose mothers are still alive will receive red roses. The children then will have their own ways or uses to the roses, in showing their love and appreciation to their mothers.
That's what Bhuddists will do to share the love and thank their mothers.
VuLan Festival, that's how it's called.
How to pay back what I owe her?
People, please love your mother.
...
Things to study this week: Social Studies.
My brother has a job in Australia with $15 per hour. I wish to be like him.

Very intense work-out today, and my legs are moaning now. Highly concentrated lactic acids are eating up my muscles. Tasty? I don't think so. I could barely walk. But even that did not deter me from playing badminton after that, despite being so exhausted and worn out. the worst thing is my stomach was empty for the whole day. No joke, one packet of biscuit was all I consumed for today.
Of course I ate dinner after the night class study. Jun Liang accompanied me.
I thought this one is a very interesting video, so I put this here for anyone who is interested.
the whole topic comprises of 5 parts. This is the first part. I believe from here you can find the other four without difficulties.

I was young, but I wasn't naive.
I watched helpless as you turned around to leave.
And still I have the pain I have to carry.
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried.
After all this time, I never thought we'd be here.
Never thought we'd be here when my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it, couldn't make you see it
that I love you more than you'll ever know.
And part of me died when I let you go.
I would fall asleep only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this, it seems, are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor
After all this, why,
would you ever wanna leave it?
Maybe you could not believe it
that my love for you was blind

For those who want to watch Olympic ceremony, this is some information I shall give you.
Date 08.08.2008 Time: 08.08 (PM). All 8s, China is lame. But still, I can't help but admire the country's spirit and efforts. Just all the best to Olympic.
But imagine what is to follow after that:
- 12 August, Oral examination.
- 13 August, SPA.
- I haven't finished SPA "copying".
- 4 SS essays to go?
Mid year Results, I have one word : Horrendous.
NO MORE PRACTICE OF MATHS, I HAVE DONE ENOUGH TO FINISH ONE PAPER IN JUST 30 MINUTES.
I shall put more efforts in A. Maths, English and Combined Humanities and try to maintain for pure Sciences, still need a lil' bit revision.
