Among vexing matters and others ....

Just realized I had forgotten to credit an entry in my personal bank accounts - thus, amt. in actual bank statement does not equal to my own personal accounts. Nevermind, shall amend it tonight ...

Finally bought the Grade 1 exam pieces book and started my official grade 2 theory lesson today. For today, its' still Ms. Wee whom taught me theory ... as there's some re-arrangement of schedules timing for the new theory teacher whom's going to be teaching me soon ... =_=

Right, I should probably start deciding on my 3 pieces soon enough ... For Section A, its' either A1 or A3 ... Ms. Wee told me to go back and practice all my high notes - especially, A, B, G & F ... somehow, i can't get them all sound 'right'.

She says, if I can get these above notes right ... then we will do A3 for the exam. If not, we'll do A1 - which is 'Greensleeves' - which includes slurs in the piece.

she also suggested for me to practise and use the Chromatic Scales as warm-up exercises ... had to memorize the fingerings for all the sharps. So far I only remembered the 'F-sharp'... and also have to remember/revise my short fingering of B-flat.

Grade 2 theory wise ... more italian terms to remember/memorize. Also, had to start learning the notes on ledger lines and to draw them out >.< (Real troublesome if you ask me ... cause' I take double the time for notes on Base Clef ... )

Had to pay bills soon, and update my passbook too ... Waiting for pay to arrive too ... wondering when it will be given to me, this month. Today, I really spend a lot of money ... the exam fees $138. Grade 1 Exam Book - $15.50 (the one without CD), Grade 2 Theory ($8.80) ... then Flute Beginner Practical - $90 & Grade 2 Theory - $70 (increase by $10 - lucky I got additional cash on me, Ms. Wee forgot to tell me the increase in pricing). So total, spend $322.30 on flute lessons ...

T.T

Increase my working days too, starting tomorrow - I'll be coming in on Monday as well. Then for June holidays - starting 27 June to 29 June, I'll be covering shifts for Jamie as she wanted to go KL for holidays. Not to forget this month end, 28 March (Sat) - I had to cover for her as well, as she had taken the day off as part of her annual leave.

In order to get myself familiarize with the fingerings for chromatic scales, and also to practise my high notes. Looks like I really had to find time for practises - most probably I'll do them on Wednesday afternoon or on Saturday. Perhaps, on Friday afternoon over the next few weeks when there;s no classes. Maa... shall see what happened when we go along.

right, gotta get back to work.
