After two straight hours of transposing "I feel pretty" on my computer tonight, I still haven't finished! Too tired and practically going blind from staring at the screen and the tiny notes on my sheet music, I've decided to stop there for tonight. I have till Saturday to transpose 3 of my songs for my pianist. Dad is on my case, as usual, so can't use the computer for too long each day, so it's pretty limited and rushed. My priority now is my voice exam, but I have to admit, I'm worried about my 'O's as well.
Finally finished that damn ACS(I) paper. Did a drawing of a 3-sided mask, too, so I let myself watch TV before dinner. Wanted to go jogging today, but felt too lazy since I was watching "The Simpsons", so I didn't go. Shall have my "Kraft's creamy Mac & Cheese" for lunch tomorrow, am looking forward to it. Been craving mac & cheese since I did research on the top 10 mac & cheese(s) 2 weeks ago!
Awoke around 9.30am this morning, so I watched "Snow Cake" while having breakfast. Good think Dad was out till 12+, not because there were any love scenes or anything, but "Snow Cake" is one of those very 'human' movies that are to be watched in private, with lots of emotion and weeping and laughing. Very intense. Alan Rickman is at the top of my "Male Actors" list now. That's his picture up there. I never really knew him as "Snape" in "Harry Potter", but I noticed him when I watched "Love Actually". He's really good in sweet, emotional roles. Fantastic actor, I must say.
I had lunch with Dad at the AMK Hub food-court today, and while Dad sat at a table, I went to buy my food. I went to the Ban Mian stall, and ordered my food. Then, this woman came along. Fake eyelashes, high heels, make-up flaking over oily skin and all that. Anyway, she wanted to order some noodles with extra meat, but didn't know how to speak Mandarin, so I asked if I could help. She told me what she wanted, and I repeated the order to the counter-people in Mandarin. She was so grateful, she kept thanking me. I felt pretty good about myself. My Chinese might suck, but I know just enough to survive, and even help people, for that matter!
