Piano Exam

Photobucket

Yesterday was my piano exam...I was so totally nervous! Grade 5 practical exam is so hard (that's because I didn't practise properly, until the day before exam day)..haha.

I had 2 things I was hoping for when I sat in the waiting room...First, to get a merit because my parents said I could get a new guitar if I get a merit...Second, for a guy examiner...because...guys give more easy scales, and usually C major or G major for sight reading...haha :P

Well...one of my wishes came true...It was a guy examiner!!! I saw him when I was registering...I could say I was totally calm in the exam room...That examiner was so kind...He gave me F major for my contrary motion scales and G major for sight reading!!!

This was the first examiner that said, "Now you are free, enjoy your holidays!" or something like that when I finished...Now I need to wait for my results...

Oh ya, I really need to say "Thank you God for helping me do well in my exam". :D

fishing game

Yesterday,my cousins and their parents came to my house to eat steamboat! My parents had to dig out some of my old toys and my brother's old toys for them to play (wow...I don't even remember we had so many toys!). We took out the train set and a fishing game. They were playing it after dinner...then they also played PlayStation with my brother.

Today my cousins came to church with us. Then we went out for dinner. My cousins are so cute, especially the little baby.

My Favourite Snacks From USA

My uncle, aunty and my 3 little cousins came back from USA for a holiday two days ago...And guess what they brought for me....a big box of my favourite fruit snacks!!! (like gummy bears but in the shape of fruits) Last week I was going to ask my aunty to bring these snacks for me but my mum said it's not nice to ask her to carry such a big box of sweets all the way from USA when she already has so much luggage. But I guess my aunty can read my mind...haha!

My mum says if I don't eat too many packets in one day, the box of snacks might last 1 or 2 months...hopefully.

Baton and Conducting??



Yesterday my headmaster asked my school band whether we could play at someone's funeral. It would be a Chinese funeral...Then I was thinking...my parents won't let me go and play at a funeral right??? After that our teacher said we should call our parents and ask for permission because she needed to know how many people were going.

After a few minutes while I was queueing up to call my parents, our teacher asked us to ask our parents when we reach home...So I joined my band mates who were able to go play for the funeral. Suddenly, teacher called my name and said, "Can you conduct?" I was like so shocked! This is my first year and teacher wants me to conduct!!??? Then I thought I'll just give it a try...(because being a conductor looks kinda fun!) :P

Our band trainer taught me a few conducting signals...After a while, I got used to it. And then....more news...one of our band mates who was supposed to hold the baton was sick...I was thinking, "Oh no!!! Teacher will sure ask me to hold the baton too!"...and she did.

The next day,I was so nervous (I'm actually not the nervous kind of person, but when conducting...I get really really nervous!) I kept thinking, "What if I give the wrong signals? Then the whole band will play all kinds of funny stuff...!!"

The time finally arrived and I got ready. We had to walk to the funeral because it's just nearby our school. It was SO HOT that day! Well, at least it wasn't raining. We had to march on the road around our school. So I conducted then after that held the baton...I was so nervous and so scared...Because behind me was the coffin and the photo of the dead person!! :S

My job was over and I could go home..FINALLY!!!haha...I kinda enjoyed conducting.(Even at a funeral) Hope teacher won't ask me to throw the baton next year for Sports Day...because I have bad aim....

Musical Bed

Mum and dad bought my brother and me new mattresses and bedsheets. We went to Jusco to buy the bedsheets and I chose the one with music notes. Mum says when I am bored I can use my pianica and play the song on my bedsheet...haha. Dad says my new mattress is too comfortable...I can't seem to wake up in the mornings to go to school :D

Guess what colour bedsheet my brother chose...


RED!
