Ever had one of those night that you can't sleep? Well I'm having it right now. It's 3.40 AM, I'm still wide awake and I have my exam paper tomorrow morning at 9.00 AM. Wonderful. The neighbours did not help in my efforts of trying desperately to sleep. One was talking so freaking loud, another kept laughing like a hyena and the African students were celebrating something. (Do they think they are still in Africa? Hello?! Get in-sync with OUR timezone.)
So what had I been doing besides tossing and turning in bed whilst humming to Bach? Well, I was tossing and turning in bed whilst humming to Bach. (To be specific, I was humming to Sonata No. 2 - Andante. Thanks a lot Alex. :P) Once I was bored of doing that, which took about two hours, I decided to surf the net. I was searching for pictures of beautiful men to put in my new entry. Took me almost forever to find this one.
When I was searching for the pictures, I stumbled upon a website, Learn Chinese Through Music. Curiousity got the best of me again so I clicked it and they had tons of Chinese songs with English translation and Ping Yin to go with it. Awsome, now I can start learning Chinese. Hehehe. I was singing (Silently. Roomie sleeping, I think.) to Lee Hom mostly, Yi Shou Jian Dan De Ge and Forever Love. Finally I can almost fully understand the meaning of the songs, though the English translation was a little inaccurate.
While I was tossing and turning in bed whilst humming to Bach, I was seriously thinking of learning to play violin. I had been thinking about it ever since I finished my SPM (O Level equivalent.) and I did pester my parents about it but they did not give me a reply to it. (More like ignored my request like they usually do.) And in the years since then, it had been in my mind to take up violin. I think I should speak to Alex about it to see if I really want to learn violin, not just a phase I maybe going through. I really really want to learn violin. I want to be able to play a musical instrument and I chose the violin for its beauty and elegance of the sounds it makes with every pluck of the strings or every draw of the bow across the strings. Seeing and listening to Alex play his violin made me envious. He had the oportunity of learning it after his SPM.
I shall now attempt to sleep. Good morning yall.

gosh. i can find tons of sexy men on the net whenever i search for them. and how did you ever stumble upon learning chinese through music when searching for pics of sexy men???
i wanted to pick up the violin too. only that my mom said i wasn't refined enough and that i'd trash a dozen before i could actually play anything. so i stuck with something more rugged, like the piano.
Wow... I dunno I can inspire people with my so-so playing only.... OKlah... it's Bach.
And I thought somebody should be studying!!!!!
