Recap for the year 2008 and New Year’s wish
This year nothing “great” have happened. On Jan still working at UPS, thought of leaving in Dec but the staff ask me to stay to help them (really very busy). At the same time, I’m also preparing for my violin grade 2 exam. From Feb to July, this is the crucial period for me. Practising for my pieces, getting scold by my violin teacher and also going for Aural training (only 2 lessons). Went for a mock exam around June, manage to pass the 3 pieces but I flunk my scales and arpeggios and the sight reading so overall fail by 1 mark. My actual exam was on the 25 Jul, did a lot better than the mock but still I flunk my sight reading and got a merit for that. Not too bad, still happy with the result. Oh ya, almost forgot, went to PSB academy to enroll myself for a part-time Diploma course (that was about Apr-May) and started school in June. Jul to Sep, everything as usual, went to schools for lessons (PSB and Cristofori). Oct to Nov, my violin teacher went for her maternity leave and got a teacher to replace her, that was when my usual Friday lessons being shifted to the Sunday slot. I don’t really like that teacher cos she kept changing the lesson time. Also, her violin standard is nothing as compare to my violin teacher. (ya…I know I don’t have the right to commend on her violin cos I’m not as expert as she is.) During this period I was preparing for the school’s year end concert. I would like to shout a Hooray for the month of Dec cos my violin teacher is back.
For the coming year, I will be doing my grade 3 theory exam in Nov. (to be confirm) Hope I can pass. If possible, I would like to learn piano and clarinet. Hopefully next year I got a chance to visit Evelyn’s house. And that’s about all, will try to update as frequent as I can.
