more crap

ok.. seeing that it's now only 6.40pm, (apparently I didn't manage to write very much in my previous entry) I shall try to kill off more time now..

Well, my piano tutor gave me my bill for next month today.. and guess what? I'm on to Level 2 now.. Haha.. I think that's considered progress for me.. but the receipt was printed wrongly.. and it was for level 1 instead.. Erm.. I do suppose the charges for Level 1 and 2 differ... I bet L2 costs more.. sighz..

Anyway, there was only one piece of homework today! It's Red River Valley with kinda funkier chords.. haha.. but it's damn easy to play la.. Which means that I don't have to bother about practising piano until next Friday.. ha.. Sometimes I think it's kinda silly that he gave me more difficult pieces in the earlier stages.. it's kinda like... duh... yeah... Which is one reason why I don't understand the structure of their course.. No idea how the thing is supposed to progress.. But for now I'm ok with just following blindly..

And I also realised that my fourth finger on my left hand is incredibly weak.. so is my little finger.. I' ve had major problems trying to play this certain phrase on the piano.. I can hardly control my ring finger and it's a horrible feeling.. you feel.. handicapped.. But you see, I type quite a bit with this ring finger.. which means that it isn't that insensitive.. I do suppose the keys on the keyboard are alot easier to press than the keys on the piano.. I shall just have to work harder and practise more.. I hope I'll get a stronger left hand soon..

Oh one more thing.. bcos i'm such a sio jiak (meaning fragile, no strength, or useless), I think it's actually easier to play on the Clavinova than the piano I have at home.. the one at home has such heavy keys.. the other day I had an aching left hand by the time I finished practising that killer phrase.. I hope my hands don't age from such hard work..

And it is now 6.51pm.. Ha... I spent ten minutes writing this.. not bad.. I consider this pretty lengthy for someone with my kinda brains..

and hey! I just realised that I've another channel to kill time... I'm supposed to be reading Totto-chan! Aargh.. even though I've heard so many gd reviews about it, I'm still quite hesitant to pick it up.. The cover doesn't interest me at all.. Neither do the reviews at the back of the book.. So it's currently still sitting nicely in its plastic wrapping while I deliberate on whether I should start reading the book soon..

And somehow I think there's no homework to do for next week.. Which is highly unlikely.. but I haven't seen any notices or announcements.. I was thinking I could slack over the weekend and do any work that I have on Monday.. I hope that's not a big mistake... (but I won't exactly be slacking la.. I've got prac tomorrow from 3 to 6.. and Sunday's the big day.. prob will take up the whole day.. )

It's 6.57! Ha... By the time I walk to the living room and turn on the TV switch... dinner will be served..
