Chocolate Cake

Um.... yeah..... the first thing I ate today was a huge slice of chocolate cake. The one from Bakerzin. It was awesome! :D I want this for my birthday cake XD And coffee with it. I like to add 3 parts milk to 1 part pure coffee.....

Moving on.

From here on things became bad, bad, bad. On the last day of the IP Model United Nations Conference is the "Parade of Nations". Basically 5 minutes on stage to showcase the culture of your delegation's country, using any medium. 

I managed to get the delegation of USA. Muahahahaha...... I feel all powerful....... veto power....... All the credit goes to my hyper-efficient delegation :D

Ok anyway, its not that we can't think of something to do. Its that its so difficult to realize our idea. I did a draft of one part of it. Took the whole day. It was awful. Utterly tasteless. It had no visual appeal at all. Drag to the Trash. 

Got nothing done today.

Then I had piano lesson. 

It was totally AWESOME :)

The exam pieces are freaking difficult. I can't play most of the chords because my fingers are not long enough. My third piece requires half pedalling. It has Hemiola, meaning that the treble counts in 3 crotchet beats, while the bass counts in 2 dotted crotchets. Halfway through the harmony becomes so complicated that for readability's sake it splits into 3 staves instead of the usual 2.

Somehow though, it all seemed so deeply fascinating.

Have you ever had the chance to know what it feels like the first time you fell in love with a intellectual pursuit of somekind? The one single tiny magic spark that makes you want to discover so much more so badly? That one moment which changes everything?

It took almost 9 years and 7 grades. But the wait was worth it.

I felt it only once before. In a science museum. I guess I'm lucky that I get to feel what its like a second time.

Words don't do it justice.

I think I can understand why people can spend their whole life on music. 

Aural was equally fascinating. One of the questions was name the type of modulation or the key that the extract has modulated to. So I need to go memorize all the theory work on modulation. You need theory work for practical exams. Don't ignore it :)

I'm gonna practice like crazy for this exam. Not because I want to pass the exam.

Its because I finally found the passion to.
