I have the sudden strong urge to blog. I've been studying a lot nowadays, but I make it a point to find time to blog. It's the only thing that's keeping me from going insane, apart from Philippe Jaroussky, of course.
His is the voice that keeps me company through my long hours of studying, so all the songs are pretty worn out and I really, really need more music. I can't wait to get his next 2 CDs, and thank God for "Sedecia", which I found at the library @ Esplanade. It is an opera by Scarlatti, and one of PJ's earliest works.
The lovely song you're listening to now is the one I'm currently learning. It's a little difficult to teach myself that because 1) my sight-reading is still horrible and 2) key-changes in places. However, it is an absolutely gorgeous piece, and I really, really want to sing it. No way would my teacher approve of that, because this stuff is still to difficult for me. Anything French is still beyond me, but no harm in trying. Having PJ's French to imitate makes it a little easier, I think.
I'm suddenly into Mozart again, having just watched the film "Amadeus". He's still my favourite composer (Handel comes a close second), even though after some time all his music starts to sound the same. There's some sort of pattern in his music that I have yet to identify. I wish I could write music like I write stories. I just need to learn the language. Perhaps I'll give it a shot after I pass my Grade 5 theory.
I have made a list of things I want to do after my exams. I've been studying non-stop since the beginning of the year, if you don't count my 'O's last year, so you can imagine the amount of things I've missed out on. So, here's the list, in no specific order. I just added to it when something new came to mind.
1) Have a BBQ
2) Buy silver ear-rings
3) Go to Carl jr's with V
4) Check out roller skates shop
5) Buy some boots (Dr Martens)
6) Buy running shoes
7) Buy iPod
8) Work for $ to pay for 6) and 7) and Venice trip
9) Do theory- and be good at it!
10) Have a "Scrubs" marathon
11) Watch "Daria" season 4
12) Buy more DVDs
13) Play online games (MS, GB, etc)
14) Go rock-climbing
15) Go roller-blading with Naz
16 Bring V to that nice place by the sea
17) Go to Sentosa with V > Underwater world
18) Buy my two PJ CDs > "Monteverdi" and "La dolce Fiamma"
19) Start a poetry + story-writing book
20) Buy a leather-bound book for 19)
21) Run more- up to 5km at a time
22) Get someone to go on a public charity run with me
23) Try brown rice
24) Buy dumb-bells (3-pound)
25) Drag mom along on a "book-buying trip"
26) Go on a very long walk
