Finish!

I had my piano Theory Grade 5 exam today in SMK Bandar Puchong Jaya (B). Which is in my brother's school. I have to admit that it was just okay. Thank God that I manage to memorise the terms on time. It was crazy because I memorised it 2 days before the exam. All of the terms from Grade 1-5. Trust me, NEVER EVER DO THAT! It is last minute work and it is brain draining. There is 2 questions in the exam paper today that was quite unexpecting.

Usually for question no.5, they would ask about the major scale and also the melodic minors and stuff. But this time, it was TOTALLY different. They asked about a harmonic minor scale(that one is normal la..) and what shocked me the most was... CHROMATIC SCALES!!! In the hisotries of theory grade 5 exams. Ever since 2002, they never.. I repeat, NEVER ask about Chromatic scales in grade 5.

I am not sure if before 2002 they got ask or not. But who cares, why suddenly in 2009 they ask for Chromatic scales???!! I know it is easy. But it was really unexpecting. My heart dropped down to my butt man. Gosh, but thank God I was able to do it. Heh.. =P.. Right now, its time to prepare for my Grade 5 practical exam! Which is the exam that I will be taking on july. But hey, preparing earlier is good right? =).. Lord, thank You for Your strength and Your encouragement. Really appreciate it a lot! =]..



Will update soon about other things... See you guyss so0n!!

Nodame Cantabile & La Corda D'oro

I've been so crazy about these two animes. They are not about fighting, powers and whatever that you always see in other animes. YES! I am talking about La Corda D'oro and Nodame Cantabile. And YES! They are both about CLASSICAL MUSIC!! Me Love!! =D.. But there is actually a HUGE difference about them. Well, just the story line of course.

First, La Corda D'oro is basically about a girl who met this fairy and then the fairy gave her a magic violin and TA-DAA!! She knows how to play the violin. And they had this music school competition thingy. Where it introduce her to these 5 super cute guys who are musical talented as well!! They all fell in love with her music and her as well. I would have to conclude that the storyline was okay but the ending was bad. Because it didn't show us(the viewers) which guy did the girl choose to be with. Never the less, the one thing that I really I really love about this anime is the fact that the characters in this anime are truly passionate and in love with the instrument that they play and that they love Classical Music. With all the emotions going on in this anime. You are bound to feel it too. (for me only I guess, not sure if it works on you guys).




Nodame Cantabile is about this girl name Megumi Nodame who is super duper annoying. Know why I say that? Because she is in love with this guy name Shinichi Chiaki who is also musically talented and she keeps proclaiming that he is her boyfriend or husband(which the guy doesn't even like her and they are not together at all). She drives him crazy but at the end he fell in love with her music and with her. He doesn't really show much of his emotions towards her in the first season. He shows more of it in the second season which is not out yet in Animax but is out in stores. Which I have already bought and watched! WAHAHAHAHA.. I would like to conclude that this is an extremely funny anime. It isn't really musically inspiring as of La Corda D'oro but it really inspires a musician to play more and to practice more.

Here are the opening theme for these two animes. Enjoy! ;)



This is La Corda D'oro



This is Nodame Cantabile.

Classical Music

I've been playing classical music for all my life ever since I was 6. I never really liked it or understood the pieces and never even liked it. For me, when I was really young. All I had to do was just to play well and enjoy playing the piano. Until last year, when I saw an anime call ' La Corda D'oro'. I totally fell in love with classical music and was utterly inspired by it. And then I thought that it was actually pretty dumb of me to take classical music or MUSIC so lightly before. I am just to amazed by how every note makes a beautiful sound. Its like notes on a piece of paper. But when played, magic comes out of it.

I finally feel and see why some people love classical music so much. Every piece that is played, creates such a phenomena. And the stories being told, can be so so sad and so happy as well. It is everything in this world that you can imagine. It is how you talk, cry, sleep, shout and everything else. I love the sound that lifts my heart and spirits up. I love interpreting it and understanding it. It is just so beauitful.

I am really astonished by how classical music still lives til' now. Though all the composers are dead. But the pieces and the music still lives on forever. Do you realize that people forget about the songs in the 80's and the 90's. But people can never forget classical music. Its like a culture and a lifestyle. I just can't thank God enough for giving me the chance and the opportunity to play the piano. And also to give me a heart that loves classical music. I am going to work hard towards my goal Lord. Help me and be with me. Thank you again Lord. =)

Disasterous Dicipline Teacher

I went to school yesterday to help Serena out with the Dicipline room. According to her, Pn. Fauziah(my prefect teacher) needed about 10 people to take all the cupboards, tables and chairs out of the Dicipline room and to redecorate it and clean it or something like that. I helped Serena to call about 10 prefects including myself to go and help out yesterday. But turns out there were only Serena, Timothy, my brother and I over there yesterday. So my dear prefects, this shows how irresponsible you are. Anyway, Pn. Fauziah asked us all to come at 10.30am. I was late so i arrived in school at 11. Serena was there all along since 8 something. Cause she was having cocuriculum activity. The thing that really upset me was that the teachers were having a meeting and called us to come at 1030am.

The other door which we are suppose to put the furnitures in was locked. We don't have the key. And the teacher was in the meeting room. So how do you expect us to do what we're suppose to do?? Serena got so pissed and she decided to go home while waiting for her mum to finish the meeting as well(since her mum is 1 of the PIBGs). After the meeting, which was around 12 o'clock. Cik. Lim(my head dicipline teacher) came down and see if we were there. She spotted Serena walking away, thus called her and talked to her.

Then they slowly walked into the dicipline room and then they started the dicussion. Serena kept on asking Cik. Lim about where is Pn. Fauziah. She kept telling us that she is upstairs doing something. And then they made the decision to postpone the whole thing to tuesday. My brother and I was really disappointed(i'm sure Serena was more disappointed). We were actually more worried about our parent's scolding us. You got to understand, my parent's are business people. Every minute and every hour is important to them as there will be costumers coming in and out of the shop to see things or to buy things. And they dont have a fixed salary every month. Because its their own business and their own shop.

Plus, I was in school by 11 am. And then at 12pm you expect me to go home without doing anything and then you want me to tell my parent's that teacher got meeting so we didn't do anything, come and fetch me now? Man, that just leaves me to digging my own grave you know? I mean, my dad dropped my brother, timothy and I at 11. His shop is at puchong while my school is in Sri Petaling. When I called him at 12.15pm to fetch my brother and I home, he just arrived at his shop you know. My dad totally flipped out and started scolding me. I told him that it wasn't my fault but the teacher had a meeting so everything is postponed.

Then he called my mum. I thought my mum didnt know about it so I called her and asked her to come and fetch me. She knew about it even before I called her. And guess what? Being the woman and the 'tiger' of the family. She scolded me even louder and when I explained why it isn't my fault. She started cursing the teacher (when my mum is really mad.. all those vulgar words come out). And she also said that on tuesday when school reopens(as monday is thaipusam) she will go to see my principal and complain about the teacher. If my mum really went to complain about Pn. Fauziah, I really think she deserves it. Because she is wasting our time, our money, our energy and my parent's patrol oil. It has not been the 1st time but I think that this is the 3rd time for me. I can't remember when was the 1st and 2nd time. But my mum and dad remembered. I want to ask you as my readers. Wouldn't you be angry too if this happens to you? So lesson learned. If next time teacher wants us to go to school at saturday to help out. Give her phone number to our parent's so that SHE herself can tell them what is it about. If we tell our parent's about it ourselves. Kena habis-habis -.-"... Thats all for today... Bye guys~!

P.S: It's not your fault Serena.. Don't apologizee...=)
