haha, the last day of school of the semester. as i was going into the car today, a thought just suddenly rifted in my mind...
in no time, it'lll be the last day of my year and history in MGS. oh well, how time seems to flash by you so fast, taking no mercy for those who've failed to utilise and make the best use of it.
time makes one so vulnerable,
yet time brings and holds the best and fondest memories...
its been a really busy semester. for everyone i believe, not just myself. exams ended on monday.. and when i entered the school on tuesday i felt a relief i've never felt for a very long time. everyday i step into school i'm either worrying about a test, an assignment that was long overdue, not having enough time to carry out my necessary duties, not being able to take all that activity boring down my neck... it struck me as a sudden realisation that i almost forgot what relaxing felt like. even if i wanted to, there'd always be something at the corner of my memory bothering and hindering me.
for the past few days i've felt pangs of fatigue, it seemed to have accumulated over the months and more prior to the week of exams, which i was really worried for i was really unprepared. the feeling of tension i've grown accustomed to this period of time seemed to have created a certain impact on me, and now that i can momentarily let loose and sing a song, its like those side effects of adrenaline surging through me. and i find myself dog-tired every night when lie down. sigh, how ironic.. i had a horrible time getting to sleep the past few weeks and now my mind seems to emerge into yet another world once darkness fills in...
so all activities resume this week. i had my first today, which was violin lesson. and i found out Mr Foo was actually in London when Nathan Milstein held his last recital(when he was 82) and concert there. and he DIDN'T GO FOR IT!!! so when i asked further all he said was, 'aiya.. i was too lazy' my goodness!! and he was telling me a friend of his attended Milstein's last in which he was playing the Brahms Violin Concerto, and he fell ON STAGE while walking to the podium. yet he could still play! (hands sloped up and placed on forehead) i salute him really. although what i find most intriguing is actually what happened to his strad! apparently he took the concertmaster's violin and continued through the concert.
haha seems today's main topic is tension. but oh well...
june holidays are here.
but not so much a holiday afterall... thanks to our wonderful teachers.
here's for you, with both hands
