I was being ambushed by mean mean zombies o__o



I was also the headhunter =D yay. I don't know if that's supposed to be easy to achieve (well I guess it is), but I'm happy nonetheless. It's these kinds of things that make you want to continue playing a game that LAGS EVERY SINGLE FRIKIN ----. Oh you know. Once the setting gets a bit complicated, the graphics lag like _. Even the audio lagged. Like... every bullet echoed. It was rather ridiculous so I stopped playing it.





Also, I've been quite hardworking with the violin ^^ horray. I play it every day, observe, learn, practise. Playing the violin is fuuunnn... hehe.


Oh and yesterday, my mom, dad, and I went to Puri and we saw this piano exhibition from Kohler & Campbell. We fell so in love with KC142 and really wanted to buy a piano. That night, we arranged a meeting with a secondhand piano dealer for this morning. However, after much thought, I fought the temptation of the piano and cancelled the meeting. I thought that since I was going to leave for Australia and nobody's going to play it until I get back for my 3-months holiday in November, it would be a waste.

...Actually, there were more reasons why I declined it but I don't want to blog about it. Anyway, the end line is... why buy a piano for Rp.16jt which you can't play when you can buy a Rp.16jt violin which will sound godly???

I thought the money would be better worth for something else. Like that violin for example. When I improve and feel myself worthy of that violin. Teh future awaits...!





Hm. What else. Well, for one, I've obviously been preparing for my transition to Aussie. Like... clearing out my wardrobe of clothes I cannot wear anymore... buying clothes for colder weather... passport book... wallet with lots of space... things like that. In a nutshell, shopping.


Well yeah! That covers it. It's not much I know. That's why I've been sort of confused what to blog about... it's like there's no certain event or anything. Oh and before I forgot, my dad asked me today what brand my contact lenses are. And I told him a+, and he was like... what brand is that?

o_o It struck me that I didn't know a thing about a+... like, where is it made? Or anything of the sort. My dad told me to change my contacts but I'm a tad reluctant since a+ sky blue is really a nice colour and I've grown attached to it. No problems whatsoever in my... what, 7 months usage?

So I tried googling for a+, but didn't find anything... I mean... if I googled 'Acuvue' the first thing that comes out would be the official website. a+? Nothing, except for an Indonesian forum with girls talking about how great a+ lenses look and yadida. So I'm rather doubting this product... I think maybe it's a local brand or something? My Dad thinks I'm better off wearing well-known contacts, so... if anyone knows anything about a+, please go to the tagboard. If not, I'd be kissing a+ blue eyes goodbye =((

Hello! It's my day off today. It would be wise for me to write my thousand word essay due tomorrow, but I decided to have some fun first.

So as usual, I went to Susan's house. Brought my music stand, violin, and of course, sheets and books. I don't know if I mentioned this in the previous blog, but I printed out two duet pieces for violin. Plan to play them with Susan today. They don't seem that hard. Manageable. Mozart - Twelve Duets, and Bach - Air on G String.

Aah duets are fun. I needed to count a lot though. You know, tempo. I am extremely bad with tempo and beats or whatever you call it. I mess up the speed everytime, which is crucial for a harmonic duet.

And, after hours of playing, well, Susan rested for a while and she taught Ratna on the piano later on. I kept playing the violin though. Which resulted in...




At first my index, middle, and ring fingers were dark blue. Susan was shocked. She told me to stop playing for a while, but I played anyway. Then they turned almost black. You can't really see in the picture, which looks pretty normal, just a few shades darker, but in reality, it was... to the point of being scary in fact O_O

Oh and by the way, I can play Nocturne No.9/2 on the piano now!!! Well, only the right hand though -_-. Oh crap forgot I have to cancel my piano tuition. BRB phone.

...back. Better scratch that off my wishlist now.

Aaaanyway. I went to Puri Mall with Susan and Ratna. We watched this:

Labels: Bach, duet, essay, journey to the centre of the earth, Mozart, Nocturne op.9/2, piano, Puri Indah Mall, violin

I slept with Gucci last night!

Labels: Ave Maria, Caccini, Caprice, chopin, Gucci, Nocturne op.9/2, Paganini, piano, Scarborough Fair, violin

News!

I now have the conditional offer from RMIT! =D Congratulations me! My path is set already. Woohoo.

I played To Zanarkand till I was sick to the gut just now. I'm sure Susan was too. She had this really bored look on her face listening to me play ^_^"

I have a presentation about Discrimination of the Homosexuals on Wednesday and I haven't done a single damn thing. I am so so so dead. Tomorrow is my presentation on John Galliano let's hope for the best.

My mobile blog works again! =D I couldn't publish anything for a long time before.

Okay so I didn't go to school today (the lessons are useless anyway). Turns out all my classmates skipped classes for four hours, so there is no point of me going. And since I don't feel too well, all the better to stay at home.

Well, I didn't really stay at home all day I guess. Went to the doctor's in the morning, then went to Fujifilm to take a photo for my Visa application. =.= A sick girl taking a photo that will stick with me forever. Great. Of course I wouldn't take it pale-faced and sickly. I put on eyeliner and stuff (but not too much). The photo turned out... okay. It's better than M Studio. Rrgh I hate all the ID photos taken in M Studio. I always looked so damn washed out.

Then after taking the photos, I went to Susan's! I wanted so badly to play Aerith's Theme duet. Her on piano and me on violin. But then...well... we got really sick of the song after several tries that never went right. In the end, I randomly asked Susan to teach me the piano. I picked a random song : To Zanarkand.

Yes... the song everybody knows. Anywho. I have never played the piano before... ever. And I was too lazy to have Susan teach me how to read the notes. It would take ages. So she just told me where to press, and I just remembered everything like that through practical. A video:

Haha I still suck in that, I was only playing the first few notes of the song. Then I practised like mad and Susan and I managed to accomplish playing the song until... which bar was it? Can't remember. But I didn't get to catch that on tape. Maybe next time.

Piano is so fun!!! I keep wanting to learn it, but since I'll be leaving for Australia in a few months, it wouldn't be a good idea to buy a piano right now. =( Oh and Susan's piano sounds sooo good 0_0

I sweat a lot in her house while playing so now I feel much healthier. Horrayy =D
