Late
The alarm went off at sharp 6:15am, exactly the time that I’ve tuned the night before I slept. My eyes shot opened, my hand grabbed the phone and without even looking at it I pressed the "turn off" button… second down below on the left. And I continued sleeping. I woke up again, grabbed my phone and got a glimpse of the time, 6:25am… and I told myself. Okay… 5 more minutes. I closed my eyes.
The next time I opened my eyes, something in me tells me that something is WAY wrong. "Oh shoot!" I exclaimed as the time on my phone shows: "8:00am". BUGGER! I have HARMONIZATION at 8AM and I am SO doomed! I jumped out of my pyjamas and into my jeans and pink shirt which happend to there, rushed to splatter water on my face, got my books, pencil case and bag before dumping everything into it, grabbed my wallet and handphone AND ran!
THANK GOD the classroom was one floor down and but a few metres away. I turned a sharp corner at the corridor that led to a longer one where the classroom was and caught the sight of my classmate at the door. "PHEW! I’m not the only one late!" I thought, and grinned whilst I continued running towards the sign that marked "Classroom 410". I flipped my wallet opened, fished out my attendance card and swiped it across the attendance machine.
I imagined laying eyes on another pair of angry ones, where his hair was almost bald in the middle, his hands clicking onto the mouse and keyboard in his swinging chair. But when I turned, my eyes darting from the students to his desk, I grinned broadly. "Don’t worry, he’s not here yet." "You’re earlier than he is." the class chimed. I inhaled deeply and heaved a sigh of relieve. So much for all the worries. I shook my head slightly before taking a sit at the second row, left, beside Gao Xing, the harmonization class monitor.
He was on the phone, and the conversation was with our teacher. He was stucked in a traffic jam because some accident occured (bus turned over under the bridge). 20 mintues later, approximately 8:34, our harmonization teacher arrived, breathing heavily.
Wakaka. So much for being "late".

Haven’t blogged for the while, things has been going pretty fast lately. Here’s some new stuffs:
1) I went shopping on Sunday and bought myself a denim skirt which costs ONLY RMB50, which is approximately RM25… WAKAKAKA. Must resist the temptation to buy more…
2) Finished conducting//learning Beethoven’s Symphony No.2, 3rd Movement. My teacher was pretty happy with my improvements during the lesson on Thursday, which makes me happier.
3) Am learning Peer Gynts’ "Anitra’s Dance", "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and "Arabian Dance". Had some very very very bad time before Monday because I had no idea what to do with it. But my nice 师兄 gathered all four of us for a brief practice on Monday, so hehe, relieved my pre-individual-lesson stress. Went for class yesterday, it was oo-kay… need to memorize Anitra Dance and Mountain King by today… (memorized already.. hoho)
4) First semester’s Holidays are coming! Hehehehe… starting on the 30th of September to around 9th of October if I’m not mistaken. But no doubt we’ll be loaded with homework. Kinda looking forward to the 30th of September cuz the conducting department might be organizing activities (PARTY!)
5) Met my piano teacher on Friday, she’s very very sweet looking… not only looking, she’s very very sweet in person as well. Need to prepare Debussy’s Arabesque No.2 and C major/A minor 4 octave scales and 2 octaves chord arpegios. (kinda easy… wakaka)
6) NECK ACHE. I can’t turn my neck to the left for 3 days already. Today’s the fourth…. it’s getting better lar. Now can turn to the left, but to a certain extend. Hope it’ll heal by tomorrow… Sigh.
Conclusion: Must work hard! What you do today determines where you want to be tomorrow! GAMBATTE~!
