Flu and Sweat
Flu and Sweat - not a pretty sight I tell you.
Before I begin my gross story, Q_H_: I DID NOT BUY uncountable number of items in Mustafa! I bought 1 pair of shoes, 1 pair of sandles (at OG), a hair brush, an eyelash curler and Friends Season 2 set! That's like 5 items for crying out loud!
anyway, so yesterday I was sorting out archives for the orchestra, when the dust from the archives, as well as the dust from the nearby renovation works began to irritate my nose. It got so bad, my nostrils began acting like leaky taps, I sneezed half my life away, and my eyes started scrunching up and sqeezing whatever juice there were in there.
Exhausted and left with half of my original lifespan, I took the Panadol flu tablets and went to sleep.
Inbetween snoozes, I woke up shivering and switched off the fan, I woke up perspiring and switched on the fan, and I woke up to grab some tissues and blow my nostrils sore.
Finally, in the evening I went for rehearsal. I was so miserable the only thing I desired was: Clarinase. I started making phone calls to people in the orchestra, asking if they were near any guardian pharmacy (cos there are none I can recollect near my house). So thankful there were a couple of them. So got my Clarinase, popped in the pill and waited it out. Meanwhile my muscles started aching, and my hands got so weak, they couldn't hold the bow for long periods of time.
And for some strange reason, yesterday cropped up a number of problems with the Figaro project. Of all days, Yesterday! Urghed, couldn't think, nose began leaking again, and all I wanted was to sleep.
Last night was another exercise in waking up to switch on and switch off the fan, and blowing my nose.
Needless to say, I'm tired. But I can't sleep. It's too hot to sleep! Besides I'm out again today to settle orchestra stuff again.

Exams?
The GB girls are having their exams. Study well! Give it your best! In the meantime, here are some quotes to help me relax. bwahahaha
As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.
- E M Forster
Anyone can confirm how little the grading that results from examinations corresponds to the final useful work of people in life.
- Jean Piaget
Education is not a preparation for life...education is life itself.
- John Dewey

Rossini
Am playing in Rossini's Mass. Wonder when he lived? Sounds like Romantic period. But got continuo. Hmm...
Choir was pretty good. Basses not enough i thought. But then again I like deep deep, resounding sound. haha
Didn't recognised any of the soloists. Sounds good too. But then again I'm no judge on vocals.
No used to the conductor. A reverend. But then again, his beats are consistent not like our conductor. hahaha... A bit plodding along though... cos we rehearsed at more dramatic tempo. Good for me though. Bwahaha... don't have to worry about playing fast. always seem to have a problem sounding good when playing fast. hahaha
Tonight rehearsal's at UCC. Maybe thinking of going down to NUH to donate blood. Maybe not. Too lazy. Gonna go back and take a nice nap on this wet wet day. hahaha
