Mid-term Exam
This is my second attempt to blog because my first VERY long and nice post had decided to commit-suicide by refreshing itself. (I also dunno what I pressed… probably enter or something.) So, instead of that paragraph-formed long long story-like post, I’ll just blog everything in point form.
6:45am - Woke up, excited because today was my first official mid-term conducting examination. Attempted to bath at -1 Celcius degrees and found out that no hot water was provided until 7:30am so gave up bathing.
7:20am - Changed into my new Vera-Moda blouse I bought at XiDan, and dressed up formally. Looked great. LOL. Made breakfast that consists of meat balls, noodles, ham, cabbage and egg.
7:45am - Visited Conducting Classroom’s hallway and saw a whole row of teachers standing outside chatting.
8:30am - Exam started with some youngsters from CCOM’s high school
. I started walking to and fro my hostel and the classroom (same floor), helped people get some stuffs.
8:45am - My baton DISSAPEARED. Some fellow from CCOM high school accidently took it with him. (Only found out in the afternoon that he took it. Went nuts in the morning)
9:00am - 3 more people and it’s HuangYi’s turn, then it’s my turn. And one of our piano teacher ain’t here yet. If she doesn’t come in 5 minutes, either I have to play her part for Huang Yi and he plays for me OR we’re disqualified.
9:05am - Still no sign of piano teacher
9:10am - 2 more people to HuangYi’d turn, I’m playing for him… and will be using his baton.
9:15am - SHE FINALLY TURNED UP. OH MY GAWD!!!
9:20am - HuangYi’s round to conduct (Beethoven 2nd Symphony 3rd Movement). He board the platform before the pianists entered… lolx. Conductor very bagi muka.
9:26am - My turn. Conducting "Arabian Dance" from Edward Grieg’s Peer Gynt. Expected myself to shake non-stop until baton also cannot hold properly, but turned out rather well. Rather pleased with myself.
9:35am
- It’s OVER. I cannot believe it.
—————————————————
Lunch hour - Went to Canteen with ZhaoXingHua
2PM - Sight singing and hearing Class. Was FUN… and stressful. Lolx… Scariest lessons of all time.
4PM - Went to the Conducting Departments’ office to check out the results:
1) ZhaoXingHua - 89.75
2) HuangYi - 89
3) ZhouHaoYu//LiYingJiao
- 88.75
4) ME - 88.25
5) GaoXing//ZhouXiaoShi - 87.75
WAKAKAKAA. Quite happy with the results~ Considered not bad geh larrr, cuz the higest mark for first years are below 90. Some c2pid rule about not giving 90 and above for first years.
—————————————————–
At night went to CELEBRATE… wakakka. Had dinner with ZhouHaoYu, LiYingJiao and ZhaoXingHua at Huang Rong Lao Ma Huo Guo - Steamboat. Hehehe. Then headed on to meet with DingYi and HuangYi to go watch movies. End up at the theatre not watching anything because the movies were boring. So we headed to RBT and played police and murderer. Sweat! Hahaha…After that went to K-box and sang till morning. WAKAKAKA. Going with the Conducting department is FUN because everyone sounds good. LOL. LiYingJiao sounds SO MUCH like Jay Chou! (Not that I like Jay Chou lar) HuangYi sounds like JJLim…ZhouHaoYu sounds like YanZi, YangYi is THE most hilarious: "Songs after 1998 I dunno how to sing" So if you see cows, goats, fields, seas on the screen, you’ll know who’s song is it. LOLX. The K-box here in Beijing is really nice because if you come during weekdays and sing from 11pm till morning, it’s only at RMB59… PLUS buffet which is available from 12am to 4am. So… eat and sing, eat and sing. Things didn’t go quite well in the beginning… the room was too small, DingYi felt like throwing up because of the tea she drank earlier, everyone who promised to come didn’t turn up (yet). But after a while, things became normal. DingYi’s change was dramatic: Sick cat to Jumping Monkey. LOL
Had fun. =]
