DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU WANT TO THINK OF ME AS A COMPLETE PYSCHO. (but i think everyone will read it if i put this.)
haha thanks!!! you know i swore i would get tons of translations done in the holidays but preparing for secondary 4 in singapore is TOUGH!!
i thought this was supposed to be the holidays!! but i have to: 1. revise secondary 3 maths, english, geography, social studies, chemistry, physics, biology, philosophy. 2. practise violin for my co-curricular activities (strings ensemble) 3. practise violin for my new violin teacher (who somehow scares me so i have to practice A LOT) 4. finish writing notes for a chemistry and physics textbook 5. read a biology and physics textbook 6. finish 2 workbooks for english grammar and comprehension and summary 7. write my research study report on making paper/plastic/clay out of orange peels 8. read this super thick book called 'hard truths' (by a really famous singaporean politician) 9. finish 2 math textbooks 10. generally get ready for next year (ie. pester seniors for notes, research on the web, just make sure you know everything before they even teach you )
so yeah. on top of that, i think i'm like addicted to maplestory. actually, addicted doesn't cover it. i'm like, play-maple-or-you-die kind of addicted. this sucks. i really don't have enough time. sighs.... but it makes me feel better to vent all this out here! :D YAY!! i'm feeling de-stressed!! WOOTWOOT!! .... okay. i'm trying to delude myself. why am i so whiney? i hate this. no i don't. i love this. what am i doing here? okay, people, ignore this message. i will post it to relieve some 'stress' but since it's so disgustingly gross and yucky and whiney and all that, please don't read it. okay i'll go write it at the top.
anyway, updating my things-to-do-in-the-hols list... how depressing...

... so can i just say... i totally failed?? D: what a good note to start a year on... :/
but i'm an optimist ! it's going to be a great year!
Hi Nana ^^ I totally understand how you feel with all the stuff you have to do...it was like that for me in high school/middle school (is it an Asian thing?), but I'm sure you can do it! Just keep at it (aja aja hwaiting!)
haha thanks po :) i dunno what it is exactly either.. at my australian school here they called it middle school. now at my singapore school they call it secondary school. so i don't think it's exactly an asian thingo... haha :P nice to know people know how i feel :D thanks!
no prob~ lol oh...well i meant the violin + lots of school work thing seemed like an asian thing but I don't know...I'm aging XD
By the way, I saw you were asking about advice on shifting/vibrato technique. I could give some pointers I think... Could I ask if you do any exercises for it, or do you just...do it? ^^
haha oopsies.. :P yeah i think that is an asian thing.. or an asian mum thing XD
i know i should, but i don't really do any exercises for it :/ sometimes when i really do need to get better, like i have to perform, then i'll do a bit. (which doesn't work and i end up failing anyway but yeah :D )
haha it's depends on the time :P i usually can ramble nonstop about stupid stuff ... :D you don't have to be envious either because i can only talk so much online D: i can't talk much to people face to face :( which is super sad.
hey!! being talkative is a good thing!! :D BE HAPPY!!! i wish i could talk more to people... :( like not online people, cuz i can talk fine here but yeah. i find it just so hard to talk to people face to face!!!! do i have like a nervous disorder or something?!
nah, it's okay. a lot of people are nervous talking to new people or just in general. ^^ I totally forgot to show you some exercises...I'll do it tomorrow if I remember xD
