Piano Festival - Lisztomania

It's over.. 4 days of concerts featuring David Nettle and Richard Markham, Cyprien Katsaris, Minoru Nojima and lastly, Valentina Lisitsa. I think this year's piano festival has improved over the years and it do bring some stun to me when i heard their playing.. The world's foremost piano duo.. Their synchronisation and the kind of feel to each other was really there.. Perhaps this is what they had really achieved over 30 years of playing and performing.. As not what i expected. although i know Nojima is quite seclusive.. his playing was wonderful.. tone and voicing.. Initially i thought i could get his Brahms and Schumann CD, which was written on the book that this his lastest recording.. He had only released 3 recordings in his life time for such a great pianist!!.. And his Liszt was alr named as the reference work.. Unfortunately, they are onli selling his Liszt Cd..Perhaps it's just the personality where pple want more private space rather than under constant media attention.. Valentina Lisitsa.. was surprising to hear a lady with such force, power, technique, and stamina.. she's fast..but not as poetic and lyrical though.. perhaps few years down the road she will be..

well.. this will be my last few concerts before i go serve my nation.. but actually i had alr brought some SSO new season tickets for Sep and Oct.. lol.. counting down to my days before i go serve my nation.. think this period will be crucial for us.. praying for directions ya.. dont wish to elaborate much on here..

alright.. hope we can go concerts together again ya.. and all the chit chat after concert.. lol..
Van..update me about what u shared with us ya!!

Hope to see ya again..

Piano Festival!!!

Finally the piano festival 2007 is coming next week..it's been a long wait ever since jj and i bought the tickets almost half a year ago.. not very sure when it started..the discovery of the same interest with jj.. going for concerts!!.. i rem 3 or 4 years ago.. it's like i've been attending concerts alone.. then for the past 1.5 years, i got the accompany.. lol.. we've attended major and interesting concerts together.. RACH$$$off concert series.. all three major concertoes are played.. but why not the last one?? good concerts and cheap tickets= buy tickets many many months before.. so most of the major concerts like RACH series and piano festival we bought it at least 3 months in advance.. and for the SSO 2008 new season we alr bought the tickets for sep and oct concerts alr.. thought i wish someone will bring up more interesting pieces to the local arts scene.. i was mentioning why not concertoes played by the piano festival pianist.. i believe that will be a very great experience to hear them as soloist for orchestra and playing solo piano recital.. but then perhaps pple like JJ, matt and i will attend it.. lol.. yoohooo... i will busy attending piano fest concerts next week.. thurs to sun nightzz... but then i am sadded by the fact that Ong Lip Tat has a concert with his students on thurs night too.. and they are playing works by mozart.. a duet!! my gosh.. when i wana concerts no concerts for me to attend.. and when i am going to attend one.. they clash.. haiz... but then i will still go for the piano fest for thurs night since i bought the tickets alr.. and david and richard markham 30th anniversary.. so maybe should celebrate with them ya.. haha..

ok.. back to his week life.. i went out for the most the nights with her this week. perhaps coz i attended the camp lst week and the coming week i am not very free.. so we planned to go out more frequent this week.. hmmmm.. lots of things to say.. but dont really want to write it out.. i will only tell her.. so if wana know what's up perhaps you can ask me personally.. lol..

the unconventional me, unconventional thinking, unconventional ways of doing things and the unconventioinal dating process.. so please do not think that it's supper wrong to do things that maybe not be conventional.. and if u cant accept it please ignore it.. do not create troubles..and i listen to what she say... u guys are saying and thinking out of care and concern.. but do u think i really care about ur care and concerns when the motive of these care and concerns are not even right and out of good will.. alright.. i will onli listen to pple advice or suggestions who really have the heart for us and out of the good will.. so the rest.. please stay away.. there's onli a few pple in my life that i am going to responsible to.. GOD, her, families and a few more pple.. yes.. gossips and small actions behind us wont affect me and her.. ya.. ok..i believe my brothers in christ will give me te due support tat we need.. yeap... sorry if u find me harsh in my words.. but i wont be gentle or polite to pple who are coming and saying things out of the devil..

ok.. got to prepare and go church.. cyazz

After thoughts

It's been some time since i blog.. well.. I'm backed.. It's been very happening last week.. Fun and interesting church camp with MPCC.. although I need to go back to sch for grad ceremony on wednesday and unfortunate event happened in church.. i think god really blessed the whole camp and my three years in NP..

This year youth camp we joined with MPCC.. think the last time when we join other churches for camp is mighty man camp.. not a very enjoyable for that one.. haha.. but for this year's camp.. a totally different experience.. dont know why i got the feeling that i had not been attending camps or church camp rather during the past few years.. maybe due to the very ill planned poly holidays.. for the past few years i never really attended a full youth camp..

know lots of new friends.. know more in depth for our church pple.. and lastly of course i get to know more about her.. ya.. HER.. we attended two seminars together.. Mars and Venus and
Personality Exploration.. think is really very fruitful to attend these seminars together.. i strongly encourage couples to attend all these together... coz you dont really get these type of courses outside other than church.. these will just deepen the understanding between couples and grow together in Christ know each other strength and weakness..

graduation ceremony.. seriously and frankly.. i dont really want to attend the ceremony at first.. but i dont regret attending it.. get to take many photos with friends who i may not even meet in the future.. coz they are going overseas.. taking pictures as usual.. i think our class is the most photogenic de leh.. lol.. all the best for you guys ya..

ok.. now back to my life..finally i see light in my life.. haha.. i mean for bgr.. but it's definately not easy for us.. the route for us is and will be tough.. but fear not.. coz we got GOD and pple around us who will bless us and pray for us.. if you really wana know the whole story, think got to start from 3 years ago man.. lol.. think our story can write into a drama serial.. lol.. pple who know us you can pray for us.. pray for guidance.. for knowlegde and wisdom.. for a open heart.. perhaps when u think whether every date or bgr will eventually lead to marriage you will be more careful to start.. it's not always one shot one kill.. but praying and thinking more about bgr is always good for both parties.. just need to rem it's a tripartite relationship when u start to date someone.. what it means? Simple term.. a triangle.. God at the apex with both parties connected by god.. as both concentrate and follow how god lead.. both as one will be more closer.. yea.. lol..i think i am really very lucky to have you in my life.. thanks for tolerating if i lose my patience.. dont get angry when i joke too much.. lol..

lots of things to say about r/s.. i will blog a part 2 for it.. haha...

** thanks for being so understanding**

Finally..

Happy Vesak Day.. Went to terence house yesterday night.. with zq and wl.. played some game and watch casino royale.. that's such a bad movie.. no worth spending the time watching it.. too complicated plot= no plot.. and since when 007 acted like MI3.. they can just call it MI4.. we went to have supper.. Nasi Lomak.. quite nice but quite ex too.. zq cant stay up the whole night.. he got to rest as he will be taking a physical test on friday morning.. all the best ya.. well.. i think afterall army life can indeed be interesting ya.. though i think i dont really need and want that kind of training.. but still have to go through it.. so just have fun during these 2 years..

hmmm.. never really been using the laptop since i am back from turkey. spend those nights doing something else instead of chatting online.. 2 more months before i going to enter NS.. finding stuff to do.. going overseas again?? i hope so.. though if i follow my father on his business trip i will be just idling.. but y not.. get the chance to see what's up there.. hopefully no more bombs and riots ya..

ATCL piano exam just over.. well.. just got to wait for the results to be out.. but i still like the days when u learn new piece coz u simply love it.. or for concerts and performances.. but not for exams.. just imagine a pianist got to learn hard those 3 or 4 pieces a year jsut because of exams.. quite saddening.. so the conclusion is find a good teacher right in the begnning.. lol.. SSO 07/08 new season programme is out.. this new season programme is quite interesting.. as least more interesting than last season.. but the sad thing or rather i am glad that at least JJ and I and attend the saturdays one.. and hopefully the friday ones too?... when will Singapore or Esplanade concert programme will be as interesting as Carnegie Hall? lol.. you wont complain lack of concerts in New York man.. lol..

hmmmm.. suppose to steamboat dinner with jj, matt, van, pip and sihui.. but end up we cancel it.. coz pip last min got something crop up.. it's alright.. we still will meet up soon right...will be quite busy next week...lots of things to attend... combine fellowship.. photoshop courses.. counting down my piano lessons.. collecting grad gown.. make my army specs... going to JB to get some stuff..finish up dvds.. lol.. hmmmm.. alright.. will update again soon...

oh ya.. i think i own lots of pple presents.. lol.. jessie bday present.. peiwen bday present too.. and my bro bday present too.. haha.. oops.. got to pass them asap.. else will be chop up soon..

Turkey!!

Yo... i'm backed from turkey.. this trip is amazingly fun man.. lots of new experience..shall say some interesting things that we enjoyed.. 1st.. we had very fun pple in the tour group.. of course there are also fussy pple demanding impossible stuff.. well.. perhaps without them the trip wont be that fun too.. we had excellent tour guides from Dynasty Travel and Turkey.. some events.. hot air balloon.. climbing up and down like monkeys on real architect structures that last decades and centuries ago.. boat and cruise ride.. belly dancing on the stage.. disco and pub night.. visiting carpet and ceramics factories.. buying friendship ring..lots. of fun man.. i will try to upload those interesting pictures day by day.. haha..

i can tell you we are better than the girls at taking our own pics now!!

guess how high we are.. and we are surrounded by lots of strange stuff.. want to know? sms me.. lol

Finally.. it's here

Alright.. now it's like less than 24 hours i will be leaving this place for 2 weeks.. received my NS enlistment letter today.. serving my country on 27th july.. wooo.. this is a god given day man.. coz i really hope my enlistment can be after 25th july.. why.. coz i got driving test on the 25th july.. and just the right timing..2 days after my test i am going in.. so that means i must pass the 1st time.. lol.. well.. i think this is a must go through period for all singporean guys.. so just go in and have fun. get it done and you can do what u want to do after that..

this trip serves as a holiday, eye opener and a real break for me perhaps.. get away from here and maybe when u come back i will have new thoughts about the things around me.. hard to say.. rather than always going online and blogging here.. lol.. that's really no life leh.. u write blog.. pple read.. somehow somethings happen in the past where pple like to gossip, backstab after they read pple blog.. that's the worst way you can ever invite pple to quarrel and fight.. so the best is just blog in general.. lol.. afterall you can just keep those feelings or very personal opinion to yourself.. else if you are those who just want to blog and dont care about anything then you are inviting lots of troubles.. lol..

went to have dinner at my godson's place... going to be one year old next month.. hmmm.. got to buy one small sneaker for him.. yea.. will get it when i am back.. alright.. time to go.. cya in 2 weeks time..

1 more day..

got to know some good and bad news today..got letter from NTU.. was accepted into sch of bio science.. but was entered into the 1st year.. i am not extremely happy or keen about it.. still got other plans in mind.. will still reply and hold on the place 1st and see what i decide to do.. afterall still got some time to think about exactly where and what i am going to study in the future..

2nd piece of news.. JJ going army on the 14th June.. damm surprise la.. i will miss one person to go PIANO fest.. my gosh.. haiz.. nobody will like buy CDs and chiong to set autograph.. lol. but dont worry.. i will buy cds for you and sell it away.. lol.. now you make me also feeling uptight.. but not going to bother about it till i am back from turkey.. just going to enjoy myself lor..

today met up JJ for lunch at the new food fare at AMK hub.. then we went to see this chiropractor at AMK blk 511.. had a hard time finding that place.. but well hope you will recover soon.. ya.. else also feel pai seh to recommend him to you.. so must get well..

after that.. i went to esplanade lib to wait for weili.. coz i feel lazy and it's really quite inconvenient to go there from AMK.. so i nua at lib and wait for him to buy the camera charger.. lol..after i met up with wl and lh.. we went for dinner.. then to selegie famous soya bean shop.. since our movie going to start onli at 7.30.. we decided to play pool at paradize.. wl and lh are good la.. i am not a pool player man.. lol.. watched the reaping tonight.. not a very nice movie.. but well shall wait for the summer season where you can watch till you broke and drop dead.. lots of coming up next month..

alright.. one more day.. and i will be gone for some time.. think it's a great chance for me to get away from here for some time.. to freshen up and maybe will have new thoughts when i come back.. k.. ciaoz...

Counting down...

Had class gathering or bday celebration last friday.. Jessie's bday!!.. We had dinner at vivo.. asian kitchen.. lots of fun man.. i had this "Suan La noodle" with added spicyness and vingear from DORA.. she added like nobody business.. luckily i will able to finish up the noodle.. I was sitting beside this girl who communicates with me by writing on her note book..haha.. that's zhiyi.. she had her second operation on her vocal cords coz her 1st operation overhealed.. lol.. Mrs tang joined us for the dinner.. After that we went to cut the cake... a home made fruit cake by kelvin if i am not wrong.. there's mango, kiwi and strawberries in it.. oh ya.. forget to mention they keep making fun of me.. coz i believe in jessie's april fool day sms.. she bluffed me man.. alright.. i am not going to say out the joke.. if u wana know.. then u can ask her urself.. lol..

after that.. we spend to spend some time to drink coffee..so i was sitting beside zhiyi.. was talking to her about some stuff... lol.. now u knoe some stuff about me.. lol..think it's a good chat.. dont know since how long we can sit down like that and talk like nobody business.. by the time we finish talking it's about 11 plus alr.. reach home about 12.30.. i think it's a good time spent with them after we grad..

went back to NCC on sat to clear some of my stuff there.. after that went lunch at houseman.. then we went to wine gallery where we had our free wine tasting session.. i took a brief look at the wine tasting notes and i think it badly written.. after drinking the wine that they had.. it's really quite disappointing.. expected abit more from them.. but i think crystal wine are more generous in this area.. drank a few glasses then i went to meet terence in orchard.. waited at the orchard library.. we shop and walk around then we went down to church..

we had combined fellowship on sat.. the topic is "we are one family".. we invited this pastor to give us more insights into how we can really behave as a family.. hmmm.. lots of inspiration from the service.. but if u wana know more about it.. you can ask me.. lol..

went to church in the morning.. reach home in the evning.. then i had family gathering tonight.. lots food as usual.. lol.. bbq lots of stuff.. though not all turn up we still had lots of fun.. chatting..

alright.. just read some news.. there is some protest going in turkey.. ankara.. lol.. 300,00 pple protesting for some minster contesting in the presidency election.. lol.. hope everything will tone down soon by coming friday.. lol..

counting down.. 5 days.. tukey.. here i come..

Finally...

Today had driving lesson in the afternoon.. then i met JJ and we went to various places..we went to orchard lib then the bank.. after that we went to eat omu rice at taka.. it's quite good.. then we went to popular to buy some books and stationeries for my sis, lastly to the turkey trip briefing.. we lost our ways and we BEHOLD... coz it's raining quite heavily..in the end we are late for the briefing.. after that we went to clark quay to drink.. full pint.. it's very nice la.. thought of some good memories we used to have..

one thing i am glad is i had spend my time ever since i grad, with my 2 best brothers... terence and junjie.. this holiday i had really spend good times with them.. and they are onli the few who you can share eveything to them.. ur life, hobbies, secrets and have fun together.. and they keep secrets for you.. secrets are meant to be kept and they will.. unlike some pple.. there's a saying the best pple to keep your secrets are dead pple.. quite true ya.. let me talk abit about those two guys.. terence.. my playmate since young.. can consider knowing him since i was born.. 20 years.. use to play table tennis in church and other sports every sunday in church and other weekdays too.. we are in the same class every year till now.. 20 years gone like that.. we share all our problems and together we face them.. yea.. alright.. now JJ.. know them in year 1? 2nd sem? through this NPKE thingy.. well.. 1st few sems were didn't really talk much.. maybe that's the process where we start know more each other.. and enjoy each other craziness within.. lol.. gone through alot with him and the rest.. from setting up the club to the our last concert.. it's a long journey.. and i think one of the most enjoyable event is our perth trip.. i think we are really insane there.. doing insane stuff.. but we will do more insane stuff in turkey..lol.. but it took some time.. coz i am really introvert kind and so is he.. for us to get together talk do take some time ya.. lol.. one day if we are will be broke.. i think more or less will be the same reasons.. concert.. wines.. buying CDs.. and what can we do to save ourself? sell those books or cds with the famous pianist signatures.. lol

alright.. i am ok now..feeling abit emo last week.. but now i am ok alr.. coz i decided to let go of some stuff which i not suppose to hold on... i know this will be the right decision.. coz if u cant even find a person with the definite feeling to you then what's the point? not that i say u must and can onli date pple u know u will marry in the future.. but AT LEAST the basic things must work out.. i hate short term relationships.. if u know it cant work out in the beginning then why start it in the 1st place.. coz we are filled with emo.. learning to be rationale than emo is a very difficult lesson.. but we got to learn it one day either by the hard way or.... ya..

another insane idea.. i wana dye my hair white.. i think it's very cool.. look at those old russian pianist with that white hair.. when they walk out of the concert hall.. oooo.. can sense it.. the charisma.. the maturity in it.. maybe this is really what you call stage presence which is really essential for concert pianist.. even if you didn't really play well.. but with that stage presence you will win the audience heart.. ok.. JJ.. please dye white too.. go go..

Up and downs...

This week is the busiest week i had ever since i grad.. other than that this week there's lots of up and downs too.. emotionally.. Had good friday worship service on thurs night.. This year's theme is "Tenebrae". This is a latin word which means shadows. The main purpose of this year's theme is to recreate the emotional aspects of the passion story where we are brought through how Jesus died for us on the cross in a chronological manner. In the service we include solemn hymns, sermon, holy communion along with scripture narrated in between them. The whole service is divided into seven parts which were represented by the 7 candles on the stage. Each part, there is a assigned reader to the scripture. I am one of those who are narrating it. The candle in the middle represent Jesus, which will be last candle to be blown off after each scripture is being read.

So i enjoyed the whole service and i like this concept too.. There's acapella singing too.. think is fun singing with my brothers... In the end, the worship hall will be in total darkness when the last candle is blown off.. This is what we have for the whole evening.. just need to remind myself of why Jesus died on the cross for us.. i always believe in a person really need to know what is god's love before we can really go and love the pple around us.. if you can even love a god who just died on the cross for us, who constantly forgive us our sins how can we expect ourselves to love pple around us esp our partners who are also sinners... hmmmm....

Good friday.. I was appointed to lead a praise and worship session for about 1.5 to 2 hours.. i really crack my brain to think and source for new ideas of how to lead this service.. finally thought of using The Last Supper as the setting for the praise and worship session. So choose and prepared the slides too.. But the most impt and difficult part is to prepare verse and what to say during the session.. so source for materials and added some of the biblical understanding to it.. All thanks to my brothers, terence, zhaoqi, weili to help me out before and during the session.. Zq helped me to source for songs and help me with the ppt and the video.. he did a video with a song added to it as a intro for the session that night.. wl help with lots of stuff too.. too many.. lol.. and terence played the piano that night.. although there are some problems during the session.. but i think overall we had achieved what god wants and that's the whole purpose of it.. thanks... Personally, when i am preparing the materials and the verses, i gained alot of insights to it.. especially at this period of my life..

hmmmm.. just some random thoughts.. maybe having a blog also dont allow me to just say how i feel about something... realised somethings which i think i should not really this week. it just make me more troubled.. 1st time i cant sleep for a few nights thinking of this problem?.. dont even know if i should term it as a problem.. i seldom cant sleep when i am tired.. i will just sit and sleep and wake up in the morning.. even during my FYP i will jus snore and sleep.. lol..
hmmm. alright.. i will let go.. ok.. will write more about good friday event when i am in the mood..

Wine recollections

It's been a long time since i tried and taste wine ago.. used to taste one wine at least once every fortnight.. now back to this good habit.. miss those old days where my FYP partner and I will attend wine tasting sessions at my supervisor's house.. we miss our Mitolo wine session that we supposed to have this month.. will try to organise one more or a few more before i go into army.

Mitolo Jestar.. crystal wine.. $35.70.. this is a great wine to try.. very fruity.. worth the money..
very rich and has a full body. it show flashes of black pepper and fruits.. blackcurrant and some mixed spice..

Mr Riggs.. the Gaffer.. 2005 shiraz.. crystal wine.. $30++... the 1st smell i noticed is the french oak smell.. which noramlly pple will find it smelly.. on the nose it's not as fruity as jester.. there are aromas of juicy, ripe blackberry.. i haven tried the Mr Riggs with 10% viognier added.. perhaps it will make it more pleasant...it has a pleasing depth of fruit on the palate.. but as compared to jester.. i will prefer mitolo jester to be a more fruity and heavy and worth the value wine. Although it dont really taste heavy.. it weighs in at 15%..

this is my godson.. 10 months old..so cute right..bday come in 2 months time..so smiley and chubby..

today i watched TMNT with jessie and chia then we had dinner at KFC.. nothing much done..

celebrated my godson's brother bday on friday night.. had lots of fun there playing lots of xbox game.. they are like onli primary four.. but it's fun mixing with him and his friends..

hmmm.. finally turkey trip is more or less confirmed.. now on dubai and china.. i think it's really a good opportunity to spend this time travelling.. where else in your life time can you be as care free as now.. but of course need to plan well to money will be well spend.. i really look forward to dubai trip.. hope i can get my friends contact and get at least the lodging for free..

This post is dedicated to the past 3 three years of my life in poly. Times spend with class mates, club mates and church friends. It will be a few series where i will post pictures. Hope you guys will enjoy it.


This is one of the church seminars i attended in Malaysia with Ivan. The seminar is very enriching and I get to know many church pple from all over the world. We get to share experiences in handling youth in our own churches. This seminar was in 2002. 5 years ago!! Come to think of it, it's quite amazing why i attended it since most of the pple attending will be of certain age to know what is happening and how to help the youth group in church. But well, it's a good experience for me.

My Long lost bach-busoni collection

I am quite sad now.. haiz.. accidentally deleted my 2 volumes of bach-busoni collections which i just got it this morning.. i only heard toccata and fugue in D minor this morning.. intend to listen to the rest tonight.. but.. haiz.. gone.. cant even recover..well.. shall try to ignore my pissing now..

Had this "ma la" steam boat with my church friends on tuesday night.. it's opposite of shaw tower and it's onli $12.80. we sat upstairs where there is air con.. not bad for such environment and variety of food... after that finishing and gobbling up the food.. we played "zong ji mi ma".. this part was very funny.. weili kena the most and he who is not very used to the spicyness had to eat and drink the soup.. by that time he was already coughing and "buai ta han" of the spicyness.. lol.. he's very unlucky la.. just imagine you are the one who choose the number and end up you still can be the one forfeited in the end.. lol..

TOUCH 07 was on wed night.. well.. i would say this years TOUCH programme is much more interesting then last years and i seems to have a connection to the players.. dont know izzit party because Junjie was playing and I also heard some the players name when i attended one of Mr Ku's playing class.. Ensemble playing in Singapore is really pathetic.. hence i feel all the more we should support this kind of concerts where it promote ensemble playing.. the mozart-busoni piece left the deepest impression in my mind.. it's definately a better piece and am pleasant that is started off the second half with this piece..

Thurs i had my 1st few driving lessons.. i am trying very hard to get use to the amount of accelerator i need to step on since i am really not used to japan car.. i played around german's car since young and drove secretly a few times.. german car are heavier and would require more power.. but if the same amount of power is used to drive the japan car.. the japan car will really fly just like how i literally accelerated to 60Km/Hr for my 1st driving lesson.. look forward to more lessons and it's fun driving.. maybe i should consider to be a full time chauffeur in the future when i am jobless.. lol..

I had my piano lesson today... was totally impressed by my teacher again.. learnt something new again.. perhaps my teacher seldom play that fast and that much.. impressed.. after my lesson i met up Junjie at VCH to get pianofestival tickets. thanks to his Friends of SSO card, we could get our tickets much earlier and at a student price.. just imagine seeing really good pianist and duets of the world at only a cost of $8 per ticket.. I bet you cant get it anywhere else in this world.. cant wait for the piano festival to come.. the most anticipated pianist i wana watch is Valentina Lisitsa.. i saw her video and heard her 24 chopin etudes.. technically she's just so amazing and how can we find such a daring female pianist with such techniques.. but think hearing her to play live is the best gauge of how one's assessment to her musicality. after that we went for lunch at wisma.. then orchard library to use the internet and check out where we really want to go!!.. we were lost.. cant really decide where to go.. china? turkey? russia? india? tasmania? tibet? pakistan? and other even more impossible countries.. lol.. after borrowing 4 tour guide books.. we head all the way back to junjie's house.. thank god we finally decided to go for tours.. else we will still be deciding which part of china we should go.. and we have a common idea.. we recommend sihui to go china's monastery.. coz she is the master of the new "tu-tu" martial arts.. lol.. oops.. at least now we more or less settled with that few tours.. russia my beloved country.. salzburg my homeland.. alright.. hopefully everything can happen to what we plan and we can have a wonderful holiday before going into army.. else i will just protest in army and get caught..alright.. need to read and prepare for my class tml and sunday.. got to teach again.. give me the wisdom and knowledge..

Amadeus

This will be my 1st official post. I just came back from KL yesterday with all my ex 1F03 classmates. The trip was fun. Lots of food. Will talk more about it when i received the pictures from Chia and Dora. I watched Amadeus today. Quite a long movie, 2.5 hours. It's a very nice show, marvelous, high recommended. It's about wolfgang amadeus mozart and Salieri, a court musician. It's very emotional and just exactly portray one of the most devilish human nature, jealousy. Salieri, was not born to be a musician. However, he loves music, his passion of music was tremendous and finally, one day after his father had died, he had the chance to get involved in music and was appointed by the Emperor as his assistance, piano teacher and court musician. He composed 40 operas, some marches and other form of music. He believes in GOD, whom he prayed to him since he was young to be musician. Now, knowing that GOD listened to his prayer, he promised to write music for GOD and only him. He had lived half of his life where pple praised him and was well taken care of by the royal family.

However, all these change when Mozart appeared. He was prodigy, genius the perhaps the best composer ever known at that period of time. He wrote a concerto when was only 7, a opera when he was 12 and a full length concerto at 14. Never had Salieri since such a talent in his life. He never deny Mozart's talent and ability. But as time goes by, lots of attention was on Mozart ever since he started serving in the royal family as a musician too. Mozart improvises Salieri's work on the spot, composed lots of excellant operas, stole his women and endanger his position as a court musician. This is made worst when the innocent minded Mozart, who dont like and dont know about politics did things unknowingly and hurt Salieri. Salieri was jealous and did everything he can to harm Mozart. Salieri was accused to cause Mozart's death. However, according to research, Mozart's death was uncertain. Some speculated that it could be influenza, mercury poisoning or rheumatic fever. But in his death record, it was recorded that he was suffering from sever miliary fever.

Jealousy. Salieri, prayed hard since young to be a musician. He got it and started losing it. His passion to music was tremendous. But He denied GOD in his late life and planned all evil plots to harm mozart. Mozart, a dirty young genius, who fool and play around. He composes work of high standard and perhaps one of the best operas till now. Well, perhaps we need to know that there are definately pple out there better than us. However, what is most important is do we do the best that we can? Do we put in our best effort? We are who we are. Comparing ourself with others in a negative way will just drive us crazy.

alright. tired alr. ciao.. nitez
