A Sincere Apology

I apologise to you readers (if any) for not updating my blog in a very long time as my final grade violin exam is just around the corner. For fear that I MAY fail the exam and risk wasting my mother's efforts in fetching me to violin extra classes and violin accompaniment classes, not to mention, the $$$ (RM490, to be more exact), I am required to spend the better of my day practising violin till my fingers and shoulders are sore (but I'm still here typing this). However, for the sake of my fans readers, I'm posting this merely to tell you all that I'm still alive, though barely.

Stuff I accomplished DID (let's just keep this simple) during the two-week break
- I managed to practise violin for 5 hours continuously (sadly this was just a one-day thing)

- Me and my buddies, Ning Hui and Jia Ming performed the late MJ's "You Are Not Alone" at Gurney Plaza during the State Taekwando Tournament (correct me if I'm wrong). As usual Jia Ming sang with perfect pitch but I sort of went a bit sharp in the first line (and people say the first impression is the most important), and the rest, like they say, was history (well, at least I wasn't jeered at after the performance, and I was relieved I didn't sacrilege that super-uber-ultra famous song!) We dined at Kim Gary... okay I'll better stop here now, a simple act of eating ain't an accomplishment that is blog-worthy (though I ate a plate baked rice and a plate of french toast)

- I managed also, to purchase three horrible history books - yes I'm into history now, one for my best pal Janice and two for me.

**RANDOM FACT (LANGUAGE RELATED TOO, SO I DON'T STRAY FROM THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS BLOG)
- Joan of Arc, or Joan d'Arc does not come from a place called Arc (does this place even exist?) as the French name suggests. Joan, or Jeanne (the English version of Joan) is actually from a small village called Domremy in the Lorraine region. And surprise, surprise! Her real name was actually Joan Darc. The words Darc and d'Arc have the same pronunciation :)


- I also managed to write my first serious article for the NIE competition, though it actually was pretty bland. Janice infused a lot of humour into it, modified my really stereotypical sentences (not to mention long) and my article was resurrected from the dead, or had it been even alive in the first place? Either way, my friend worked her magic and the NIE article is, I would say, pretty impressive. Janice's writing skills has never ceased to amaze me really. Explains why I need a blog and she needn't. :)

- I also watched Pirates of the Carribean 4 with my father and my brother. It was a really good film as it depicts human nature where politics are concerned. The film not only provided us with a good laugh, also a lesson on human nature per se. Though there was a teeny technical hitch prior to the airing of the film. The awesomeness of the film (and my ice milo) more than made up for it.

- I taught my other best buddy, Michelle how to play the piano. She is a really quick learner and picks up fast, so I didn't have to repeat myself too much. Though being a music teacher in the future is out of the question for me, I'm not really that qualified, to tell you the truth. :P

AFTER MY VIOLIN EXAMINATION:
- I am going to write the music and lyrics for the musical me and my best buddies are working on
- I am going to start doing more Math and Add Math exercises because I totally screwed up both papers during the mid year exam
- I am going to start practising my French, reading more French book, watching more French videos on TV5MONDE (which I highly recommend!)


Wow, here I thought this was supposed to be just an apology as the title suggests. Oh well, ma vie mon monde is for me to ramble right?

SORRY AGAIN FOR NOT UPDATING SOONER AND ALSO FOR RAMBLING.
