hihi. its time for an update.
its been a long time since i spent a saturday realli doing wad pple shud do on saturdays. sleeping. now i finally, after one week, declare that i am officially sick. i realli dunno lah. maybe its the heat. maybe its the work. wadeva.
heres an amazing song by Brian Mcfadden and Delta Goodrem - Almost Here. after i saw the guitar tabs, i decided tt it jus cant be played on guitar. it takes 2 masters to sing it. honestly i cudnt hear a guitar in the song.
Brian:Did I hear you right?
Cause I thought you said
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you
Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?
Delta:
But when I need youYou're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here
Brian:
I would change the world
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me
Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
Oh please protect me
Brian & Delta:
Bruised and battered by your words
Days are shattered, how it hurts
Brian:Oh, haven't I always loved you?
Delta:
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here
Brian & Delta:
Bruised and battered by your words
dazed and shattered, now it hurts
Brian:Haven't I always loved you?
Delta:But when I need you
You're almost here
Brian:Well I never knew how far behind I'd left you
Delta:And when I hold youYou're almost here
Brian:Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted
Brian & Delta:And now I'm with youI'm close to tears
Brian:Cause I know I'm almost here
Brian & Delta:Only almost here
and the amusing thing abt this song is the video.. usually on mtv u jus see 1 version.. its abt brian arriving at an airport and searching for delta, and the 2 dun meet... until the end where brian catches up to delta and they get into a car and drive away. when i searched for the vid on the internet, there was a 'happy version' and a 'sad version', the sadversion titled Almost There.. lol. the happy version is the same as the one i saw on mtv.. but the sad one ends wif brian nvr finding delta and delta driving off without brian in the car... it realli changes the vid altogether man!! hahahaha.
nansense. cya.
shades of grey.

wah currently theres a lot of internal conflict within me, altho i noe wad i shud do.
1) parents: jus continue wif music outside of sch. dun waste 1 subject option.
2) LYS: if u intend to take music in uni, u shud take music in ib, cos econs u nvr learn b4.. ru sure u willing to take the risk?
3) NSC: a lvl music is nt required for entry into music uni.. jus audition can liao.
4) yd: take music larH.
if my guitar teacher were to comment, he wud also say no need. anyways, i predicted tt the 2 mep teachers wud have conflicting views... and i onli trust one of them anyways hahaha.
decisions.

yay.. an early midweek breath of air from schwork. haha.. somehow it feels like the weekend already.. but its nt.
theres (almost) no homeowrk today, so im quite happy. today in school i was super cranky, was doing lots of stupid stuff like drawing the wrong information on the wrong axis for graphs, and spraying water all over the table during chem lab. somehow i found out tt when im cranky i tend to talk lots and lots of nonsense.. and so happened today was oral.. i think my crankiness was wad helped me to get thru the CHINESE oral 4 minutes of non stop speech wif no prompt cards allowed. heheh. funny thing was that chinese teacher's radio cudnt record audio stuff at all lolz. so we bought cassette tape for nth.
anyways, jus now went for piano class.. had my first piano lessonin a looooong time. tried to play mozart's sonata.. sounded like an ultra joke lah lol.. cant even make it past first 2 bars without making a booboo. was laffing inside myself non stop lol. but i felt slightly better after i heard my teacher play.. she oso cant sight read it perfectly!! hahahahaz.
yea.. tts all for today... hope i get well from my cold soon.

well its decided.. i wun take music in ib in sch, but i will still pursue guitar, theory and piano outside.
reasons are as follows..
1) if u wan to go overseas to a music uni to study, u need a scholarship. nt impossible, but real difficult.
2) its like wasting the 6th option... cos wad can u do wif HL maths, HL science and SL econs? wad university wud accept u... might as well take chem or smth.
3) if u wan to enrol into a course in a sg uni, i doubt they will look at ur HL music. maybe say wah. and tts all.
4) wad gd does mep do to u... teach u prokofiev life... and wad.. jus compo and perf.. its all can do outside one.
yea.. maybe reason no. 5 cud be tt we all cant stand the mep teachers... so chris cheong, get ready to have maybe a 3-man class in year 5. naha.
anyways... this is nt the end of my music 'career'... will still pursue music. i sound sad but i realise tt this is the onli way lah... knew it all along in my heart.. jus needed someone to tell it to me.... thank God for smart parents.
oh wellz.. off to do chinese speech...
