Beijing - Day 09
Surprised how time passes so quickly? I am. Preasure knocked on my door since the third day I arrived, but I didn't have time to sit down and chat with him cuz I was so busy with everything... but the more I do, the more I feel his pressence. Exams are coming, and I'm so NOT prepared. Every time I feel this way, I'll remember a quote from some where and someone who said it in some movie "Everyone is born unfair. It's just who has the courage to walk down this path." Then to prove that I have the courage, I'll toughen up. I really do find it very useful... I mean the quote.
Morning came and went in mist of harmonization and headaches where some times I couldn't even figure out a single chord or worst, a single note. Lunch was cantin food taken away and ate alone in my room.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow though, new place, new day, new life... I'm moving to XinYao and AikKhai's place cuz their sister XinWan is flying back to Malaysia. I was wondering if thinking of Malaysia makes me relax, but it proves not... because thinking of it means thinking of being there during March where there's theory exams and preparations for the university intakes in USA and my worst nightmare ... SPM. Well, what is, has been and always will be.
Went for my second harmonization lesson of the week and third since my arrival. The more I know harmonization, the more rules I learned, the more I despise and hate it. I really don't see the point of learning it, I try to convince myself that maybe it might be useful when you compose... like choral music. But c'mon, I don't write 16th century stuffs anymore. (I'd die of boredom listening to Bach... no offence big guy)My teacher gave me a funny comment: "You write well, just that you write too freely." I nodded and grinned whilst the thought "That's cuz I hate restrictions and rules and dont's and not's" crossed my mind.
Came back after one long two hour lesson and am exhausted, all my brain juice dried up, was long deciding whether to follow the "gang" out at night or not. But in the end decided it was best to stay in the hostel. Hahax. So, ended up in JunYi's room chatting for maybe two hours before I came back in and started working on Scene Two. Lolx. He's a funny guy with some really funny thoughts, he's well, let's say... learning to grow up. Don't get me wrong, I'm learning too... but maybe a little faster than he is. Lolx.
There goes my ninth day in Beijing and here comes number ten. Ten days down, fourty days to go before I return. And thirty days before exam. Hah.
