So cute!

Listening to the live version of Live High and thinking of you, and how we made music together with Jelly on those two awesome occasions just a few months back :))

Even my piano has moods. Just played for 20 minutes or so in preparation for next Saturday's mass.. And it sounded really good! It's been a while since I last heard some semblence of crispness. I think the sunnier weather has made it generally less damped. Yay for piano!

I found out that Science Of Music lectures will probably clash with Social Work Research Methods lectures.. So I went searching for the 5th module. All the other GEMs offered in Sem 2 don't really interest me, so I turned to social work again and chanced upon SW4201 - Theory Building in Social Work Practice. And oh my goodness, looking at the exam papers gave me that familiar goosebumpy feeling and a wave of excitement.. Unfortunately I can't take it until I've completed 80MCs worth of modules.
Moving to the department's website to look for more information on how to bid for the 8MC summer break placement eventually led me to the Research page.. Just skimming through it unexpectedly brought that feeling back again. It reminded me of the inappropriately-timed gushes of emotions which I experienced while taking the super-dry SW1101E module.. And now I'm really excited. I can't believe I'm even losing interest in the prospect of taking a science module each semester come Year 3 Sem 2 onwards.. Wondering what other changes I'll see in myself by the time Year 3 comes.

The Luckiest
Ben FoldsI don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
moved me to tears

The SW2101 exam turned out harder than I'd expected, but I'm so glad it's over anyway! And I'm one day closer to the holidays all the same! :D
Spent a great few hours just spending time with Daryl, having lunch (one after the other.. hahaha) and dinner, and watching silly South Park episodes together.. It really was quality time to me. Happiness!

Just collected my SW2105 paper.. wasn't as bad as I'd dreamt, but I'm still a little disappointed. Got a B+. I think I'm actually putting a bit of blame of my teacher.. In thinking that she marks students down if they express differing opinions from her.. Gosh what an arrogant way of trying to alleviate my disappointment :|
SW2101 exam in a few hours! Gogo!

Gosh I've been really missing the old MM comm.. the chemistry and friendships. Can't wait to catch up in December.
Just got home from practice for next Sunday's Holy Hour! By an amazing stroke of luck, Adrian forgot about today's practice and so I got to try out the Korg.. It's an 88-key keyboard, I think. Huge. With heavy, weighted keys.. And a great sound (to me). Not forgetting the sustain pedal! :D Yayy. I think this is how James feels when he gets to sit in some expensive Mercedes. It was awesome to play with Justin too. So talented. It's been quite a while since I didn't need to spell things out to another musician..!
Wow. I feel so much lighter now after mass. Really happy, and I don't think it's just any short, explosive burst..! Hopefully, this will sustain me for a while. ^^
