violin exam was a flop. what can i say man. i messed up everything.. did worse than my usual. actually i think i did worse than my worst practice. i don't even wanna think about it. now i'm just waiting to hear what the associated board of the royal schools of music though about me.
not much, i daresay.
well anyway, i went to watch quidam!! by cirque du soleil. and woah, great soundtrack, cool effects, impressive stunts.. what's there not to like? (: contortionists, gymnastics, balancing acts, mime.. it was really entertaining. well half the time i was worrying about the performers' safety, but still really entertaining. the four little chinese girls were super adorable! they were performing some kind of traditional chinese routine, where they do stunts while keeping this dumpbell-shaped piece of wood on a string. but they added in western elements and their stunts were really breathtaking.. woah. i think they got one of the loudest applause. their professionalism really shone through, even though they couldn't have been more than 11 years old. guess that makes it even more impressive.
well actually all the acts were superb. there wasn't a dull moment in the whole programme.
go watch quidam by cirque du soleil. two-and-a-half hours of pure adrenaline-pumping entertainment. you won't regret it.
moved chairs yesterday for the j2 prelims. well they can either thank us or kill us, whatever their preference. some of the chairs/tables aren't very stable so yep, choose your seat wisely. i think the arrangement is a little too cramped in some areas. you need to be anorexic to be able to squeeze in comfortably. heh. but oh well. we did the whole thing in under 45 minutes. yes go students' council + ct council + outdoor activities club! (: efficiency is the way to go. it was quite a good experience, really. before this year, i never really wondered how the tables and chairs got into the hall in time for our exams. well now i know. admittedly by the hard way, but at least i'm no longer swimming in the abyss of ignorance. heh.
i watched a tale of two sisters last night on channel u. it wasn't exactly very scary, but the whole show was so humane and chockful of emotion.. it really sets you thinking. the director was quite abstract too. he gives the viewers a lot of space for interpretation... but i prefer to know the exact storyline the director had in mind. heh.
well currently my favourite advertisement is by visa credit card.. the one with richard gere in it. basically he's in this market alley in india and bumps into this little girl, little girl only has money for one bird and is disappointed because she wants the luck for her brother who is going away (the indians believe that freeing caged birds is lucky), richard gere steps in, buys entire alley way of birds and sets them free in front of her brother. ta-dah. super nice!! (: it's so different from all the other superficial ads. like the contact lenses ad. girl can't see whether a guy is checking her out, so she gets new acuvue lenses, because knowing whether a guy is checking you out is the most important thing. eer right. sheesh.
school reopening next week! i'm dead for promos. (: haha. oh well. -shrugs-
