Quite some time since I last wrote anything here, and so I thought, it would be good for myself to put something up here before I go on a 2-week hiatus. For my memory’s sake, if nothing else. So let me make this different and pen down what I’ve been doing to occupy my time nowadays.
YLEAD
This is going to take up my whole entire next week. Everything is seemingly looking less bleak and I have a much better understanding than before. But taking into account that I have little to no experience in facilitating and am really blur about the whole thing, I’m just praying that I won’t be a major screw-up and disappointment. It’s not worth it to be one and you’ll know why when I proceed on to my next segment.
PIANO EXAM
Yes, my DREADFUL, absolutely DAUNTING piano exam is around the corner and I am SOOOOOO unprepared for it. It happens not long after YLEAD ends, which means that the practice time I’m going to lose in the duration of the camp would be pretty costly. And that’s why it’s SO not worth it to screw up both YLEAD and my exam. So very not worthy.
Never worked so hard for an exam, much less a piano exam before, so I really do hope that I can pass this and set my exam pieces aside for the rest of my life. I just want to enjoy piano and play the songs I like – show tunes, pop songs. Exam pieces are definitely not my favourites, much less scales and aural. I don’t want piano to be a chore and a burden. I want it to be relaxation, fun and my de-stressing method.
THE VOICE OF THE PHILIPPINES
I consider myself semi-obsessed with this variety show and I’ve been following it since it’s Primer debut on Philippines TV. Gonna have to miss an episode of it thanks to YLEAD (seems like YLEAD is affecting every other aspect of my life, and IT’S TRUE). Not too pleased with having to miss an episode ‘cos it has been the biggest entertainment for me. Philippines singing talent is amazing and phenomenal, and almost every other performer/artist just blows me away. I was playing with the thought that Singapore should, too, do a franchise of The Voice. The format is cool. Especially the Blinds.
I mean, for the Battles, I don’t exactly agree with the way they’re gonna pick out the better singers. You don’t fight out in the clash of loudness and fanciful runs in order to show that you’re better. Singing is as much about emotions as it is about intonation and pitching. I wasn’t exactly impressed by many singers in the Battle Rounds of the other The Voice franchises like UK.
And I still think that having solely public voting is totally not cool. Having the cash doesn’t equal having The Voice.
SCHOOL
Oh, how can a student not occupy time with school, c’mon. Unwillingly or not, I’m stuck in school and that’s that. For the past 3 days, I’m proud to say I haven’t dozed off (yet). But by the 2nd hour my brain has pretty much went into hibernation mode, my eyelids get pretty heavy, and my head starts to weight 10kg. Not to mention, my soul went on (many) trips to unknown lands, and I kept phasing out non-stop. Which basically means that I was a zombie throughout the 3 days. Or whatever else you call it. So that sums up school for me.
