Good & Bad things about the violin:
- Good: I can threaten my reading partner. I told her that it was a machine gun and if she didn't read, I would shoot her. She didn't laugh.
- Bad: I have to carry it on Friday mornings and afternoons TT'. Along with my school bag and PE bag and books...
- Good: I can finally practice at home, it feels cool having my own (borrowed) violin.
- Bad: My mum nearly spazzed (again) when I told her the rental fee.
- Good: My sister listens to me now cuz I told her that if she doesn't, I would play the violin in her room. Quote: "Geez, I knew you were bad but not THIS BAD."
- Bad: I can't play it downstairs in case my neighbours complain. When I first tried practicing with it, my mum asked me what dying bird I was keeping in my room.
- Good: No-one bothers me anymore cuz if they do, I tell them that I'm going to practice and then they all run away :)
Right now, I guess you could say that the violin is more like a weapon of mass destruction (that has the awesome power of destroying everyone's eardrums -within a 1 mile radius-), rather than an instrument. The only one who doesn't care is my dad. He could probably sleep through World War 3 and not realize it.
Moving on to happier subjects: AFTER A WHOLE WEEK OF PLAYING HEXIC (at least an hour every day), I FINALLY GOT A PEARL. For those who don't know you need 6 stars to get a pearl and to get a star, you need 6 hexagons in a particular shape. Basically, this is VERY VERY DIFFICULT.
& being the stupid idiot that I am, I forgot to print-screen it T_T I'll just show you a picture of my 5 stars... Btw, just ignore the table down the bottom that tells you I'm getting owned by Nancy.
Amy: Look, that's Diana!
Manly: Issirt? Let's call her! -screams in a girly
voice- HEEEYYY DIANAAA (L)!
"De bow is like a ship and de violin is the sea. De ship sails on the sea, okay?
Now to hold the bow, ze thumb is the captain and it sits on that part there.
Your middle finger is ze first mate and it goes to meet the captain, so put it
around de bow. The two other fingers are lazy! They REST on de boat like so. Now
the pinky is the sail, it directs ze boat so bend it like this and put it on
top! That is how you hold ze bow. Now we move on to holding the violin..."
I have so much stuff to blog about that I don't feel like blogging about them. Does that make sense? Well, I probably won't be blogging much in the next two weeks coz of exams and stuff. I always study the wrong stuff for tests so just to make sure, this time I'm gonna memorise my whole book.
As some of you might know, I'm gonna start learning violin at school. It might seem a bit impulsive but its not, (well maybe I DID decide overnight but that's not the point.) The reason for this is because I want to try something new and broaden my views in the world of music...
& also because I want to busk for money at circular quay :)
Explosive- by Bond is my new favourite song. It's by a group of girls who are part of a string quartet. Look for the song on my playlist (if I can add it).
I had athletics carnival today but mostly I just read: "The Third Summer of the Sisterhood- Girls in Pants". Just to confirm, its "Girls in Pants" NOT "Girls with-NO Pants". We had to wait half an hour for the bus and I ended up sitting three-to-a-seat with a random couple. It was torturous. They couldn't keep their hands off each other and were making out for the whole trip. Like get a room would ya??
On top of that, we had to walk home as well. Tian and Amy went to buy hot chips so Nancy and I were waiting on the other side of the road. Out of nowhere, a man drove past and yelled out "HI!". Wierdo~
When we got home, I told my mum that we were late coz Nancy fell into a hole.
On a blog about fobby parents, this was one of the posts:
"My parent's intent was to name me Stephanie."
-Staphanie Tung
HAHAHAHA, priceless.
