piano wo joozu ni naritai

frustration!!! why can't i play piano as well as i do at home??? i memorise all 14 pages of my piece and wen i go to my lesson, i have to look at the notes so often
i'm not even improving, actually, practicing everyday seems to make me worse! maybe cos i get bored of the songs and play it crap-ly. man...
i hate classical music sometimes.. it's so hard to follow, like i download other songs and it's way easier to 'interpret' it with all the dynamics n stuff, but with classic, u HV to do it how the composers wrote it, so annoying!!! every saturday i'm so stressed out, so i play mario until i'm frustated (again) cos i can't go to the next level....
:'(

i'm bintit-an :'(

no... i am bintit-an (but the lump hasn't appeared yet)... my eye is so sore... i hope it's not swollen tomorrow, had to put cream into my eye, so my vision is blurry now... :(
it's weird how i always get the same 'diseases' as my pets:
eye - Biscotti
dry scalp and hair loss - Ponta and Koshi
'bumblefeet' (calluses in human terms) - Koshi

chinta is normal, she's started eating again *phew* ahhahaa and i still haven't given them a bath yet ^_^"

omg weird update> ur eye is connected to ur mouth somehow rite..? cos i'm like swallowing (like saliva or something) n i taste something weird. omg i'm eating the chloromycentin!!!!!!
booooooooooooooooooooooo it's got such a bad taste............ like after u swallow bitter tablets.. but the taste is permanent!!!!! :(!

got the book *yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!*

FINALLY!!! first, went to Bondi, cos the Dymocks there was closer, but den the said that they "don't do refunds", so i had to exchange for something n i hv to exchange it at that moment!! so i asked for a gift voucher or proof so i can exchange at a later date.. but he was like... uh no.
he looked so bald and evil looking.. like in the lemony snicket books ...

so, went to city store, and not only did i return the book, but i got REFUND!!! hehe .. good thing i went to the young lady.. not the professional looking man who knows all the dymocks rules

hehe so i was smiling all day :D and went to buy the book again at borders and saved $12.50 :D yay!!

looks so cool ne!? n if u look closely, there's the shape of a face on the back of the girl's neck (on the cover)
and when u open it, inside looks like a file cabinet thingy, so on one section, it's got the poster (double sided) and in the other one, the book! n inside it's got codes - that only a true reader can decode :D - and it's got like letters that u can take out (eg. on the left page of the book) and if u unjumble it, it says something, but i hvn't done that yet

oya also, got a new necklace! it's made from buttons held together with blue string , hope it doesn't break.. o_o" hehe i'm gonna start wearing necklaces now :D


Btw, got the new senior blouse for 2007 today .. it's really ugly desu.. so thick and it makes us look like nuns...(it's got st brigid's cross on the collar) i'd rather wear the normal ones, but at least the new ones don't have to be tucked in.

j'ai fini!!! *yahooo*

yay!!! i finished the foodtech magazine recipe!! and now... i shall show off hahahahha wat de...o_o"

hahaha i'm so mean o well :D

you'll never be forgotten..

I can't believe it. Steve Irwin has died.
Apparently.. he was shooting for his new series in Queensland, and was stabbed in the heart by a sting ray and died of cardiac arrest...

Can't believe it... what's gonna happen to his zoo, his family, all the animals that are now in his care?? I just don't want to think of what's gonna happen if all the people in the world like him die!! I hope that there's some people that are passionate enough to continue what people like David Attenborough and Jane Goodal are doing..

All the animals live because we help them, and let them live. But they also die because we support things that endanger them, and because we don't do anything to stop it. Why do we control so much of everything??

Ok, getting back to the topic of Steve Irwin...
most people will probably think of him as just another aussie, outback guy who says 'crikey' a lot... but even though he seems really weird sometimes, there's not many people in the world who can achieve what he's done at only 44.

Sad sad day...
