malisa updates!
its cold here today..it was raining the past few days. once it rains it becomes cold. trees are turning yellow. yesterday there was a very pretty scenary. the trees were greenish yellow, and the sky was blue..it wasnt a typical blue. it was a really nice blue. i was sad that my camera wasnt with me!
I think i'm starting to miss singapore.
i just finished changing my bedsheet. i sweeped the room too. wendy should be grateful. HER side was dirty. she's a smelly pig. so fast! a month here already. fall break is coming. yay.
malisa has loads of homework. she finished a 5 page essay the other day. malisa is pleased!
I've been goin gto alot of concerts this weekend. went for three! I think Eastman is cool. i get to go to concerts for free. concerts here are awesome. went for the canadian brass. the speed with which the brass players tongue and stuff are incredible. PLUS the THEATRE is just SO SO SO amazing. its so grand, so huge, so old, so ancient, so magnificent, so breathtaking! esplanade? haha. erps.
this morning's concert was fantastic. prof lynn blakeslee is cool. i heard she had a back surgery and in the middle of the concert her cound open and there was blood stains on her shirt. gosh. and she still played so beautifully. going for my teacher's concert at 8 tonight. dunno what they are playing but i bet it will be a good concert too!
ah! music. i rarely proclaim at how much i love music. i could say its my life, its a soul. but well,it sounds so cheesy. I used to be on of those only-classical-music-is-music fellas and frown at those who are obsessed with pop music. I used to think how can those pop music be comparable to classical music? but well, after being in MEP, after having friends who listens only to pop, after starting to listen to pop, after seeing other classical music lovers listen to pop...well well. i shall say all kinds of genres of music are still music. they reach to different kinds of audience and have different effects.
anw, that was just a random thought. i'm quite amazed at how open i am towards different kinds of music nowadays.
ANW, sorry for being so disorganised in my thoughts but haha back to blakeslee's concert. She played Brahms' Sonata in G. it's nicknamed "rain" and she was telling the audience to "hear the rain and see the rainbow that comes later". How wordless music can express such imagery is so intriguing. I saw the rainbow! I really did. and it felt so much like a rainbow.
anw..i think i'm becoming too much of a geek. she played beethoven's last violin sonata and I was analysing the piece whilst she played it...say, motivic development, structure, third relation keys. gosh. I wonder if music will ever be the same if I continue doing such analysis on the spot. it somehow "splits" the music up huh. haha ok i'm going off to eat dinner!
