Random Stuff I Want To Blog About
1.
I just had my first instrumental lessons with Paul Philbert of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. I would say it was a very very good but challenging lesson. Good in a sense that I know I have a very good teacher who is able to teach me how to play the timpani, and who is able to identify my weakness and with this it brings me to the challenging part, where after identifying my weakness, he doesn`t give answers for me to solve the problem, but instead asks me what I would do to solve the problem. So instead of spoon feeding me, he makes me think which I think is good also(but challenging) because that`s what university is all about isn`t it? Unlike high school where teachers spoon feed the students. So I guess it`s a good thing I have him as my tutor. A lot happened in just one single class. I can`t really explain it all in words. :)

I realise I have this weird travel sickness. Whenever I go on a holiday, the day after the very first night of the holiday, I will get a flu/runny nose situation. My nose will act up, sneeze, run, and so on. Without fail. I remember when I went on a trip to Malacca with my coursemates, the very first day after the first night of the holiday, I was half dead touring around Malacca with my groggy nose. In Sabah too! I remember travelling to Pitas all the way with my nose groggy, sneezing all the way, and being blown like it was going to blow apart. That night itself when we went house visiting, my nose was a mess! :-s yea, weird I know. But what to do? haha! So next time when plan holiday, the very first day after the first night, must be a rest day. LOL!
thats all for now... pretty short one.. :) oh.. reminder!
I will be performing with the Dithyrambic Singers this friday at Chinese Assembly Hall, KL. If anyone of you are interested to go watch, please do contact me. Thanks :)
