First performance of PhD

Last night was a big night for me, because I gave my first performance of PhD in city hall. It went absolutely fantastic! I was so enjoying it, although there was still mistake I made in the middle. And now I can’t get over it even though I feel totally released and start getting so tired. Lee was so happy with this performance. Actually what he worried the most was my piece which turned out to be the best one in the end. What a surprise for him and me!

Easter is coming but it is not for me at all. My next masterclass and showcase will go next month and now I have to work even harder during this vacation. Anyway, Happy Easter everybody!

Plus,Thank you CJ for keeping such the lovely moment for me! I love you all!

Pray for visa

Lately I have been tired of doing rehearsal. I should have expected that it would not be the easy thing in the following days until that day I would perform. I feel blue, not just because of such the problem I have to get through, but because of the others going on in my life I really don’t want to confront at all. Whom can I blame? And how? I just feel tied. I want to go home. I want to enjoy the real happiness in my family that I have not been right there for so long time. I want to get relax from it. God, can you understand what I am praying for? Please, please get me visa to go home as quite as you can. I cannot wait anymore.

By the way, I will be giving my first performance with Hull Orchestra during PhD study. Here is the poster. I hope it will be successful. God bless me!

I DO love you, Michael Jackson, from the bottom of my heart

Even I have totally no idea when I started being so crazy about this man. No word could POSSIBLY be used to this man. How damn great it is when I know this king of pop will be back to London to give his 10 performances for his fans who have been waiting him for so long time. Of course there is me living his music inside all the time. I love you, Michael, from the bottom of my heart! I can’t wait to see you everything, to enjoy your music again. The king of pop, the king of the world, welcome back!!

Keep going on my concerto life

Irena, Lee made me a final decision to start playing Piano Concerto No. 2 by Rachmaninov. Although I really love this music, I have still been unconfident to even touch this piece. Thank to the huge encouragement from Irena who made sure that I would be able to do that. Hopefully! Here I come!

I have begun getting myself comfortable with Concerto No.1 from Alan. To be honest, I didn’t like it at all because it was totally not mine. But now it kinda has changed my attitude that the real beauty of dissonant tunes does exist and truly goes through the music and amazingly portrays the composer’s interpretation in the given time. I am so enjoying it!
