the piano exam

finally went for my piano exam...my scheduled time is 145pm and the venue is a music school at katong mall...i woke up at around 10am...was contemplating if i should go for a swim before going...thought of relaxing by the pool...in the end..i decided to practice one last time instead of the swim...*laughs*

anyway, my teacher told me there isnt a need to wear formal...and so i decided to wear something comfortable...i ended up in jeans...*laughs* wanted to wear pants and shirt...but i dont wanna wear heels as that would be difficult for me to press the pedal...and i couldnt take off my shoes..and so i ended up in a blouse and jeans!!!

anyway, took a cab to the destination...as was too lazy to take the bus....so i reached there around 115pm...no one was around...the situation was rather tense...suddenly the steward appeared...she's an old lady..actually not old..but look like a granny to me...*laughs* she's rather chatty and quite nice...talked to me and tried to calm me down...but as the minutes ticked by...it's getting harder and harder for me to be relaxed and all...

finally, it's time to go in...there's 2 examiners...one is called Peter XXX and the other Ian XXX...*laughs* couldnt really catch their names...very nice gentlemen...very approachable...asked me to make myself comfortable...and in my mind i was like..."how to?unless you let me pass the exams without me doing anything!!" *laughs* anyway...went to the grand piano and played for them...basically, i thought i did alright..becuase i didnt make much mistakes...only a few here and there...and i tried to put in feelings and style to my playing..but i think still fail....*laughs*

after the "performing"...i had to have a "little chat" with the examiners...basically on the 4 pieces that i played...throughout the converstaion..the only conclusion i could made was: I HAVE FUCKING GOOD BULLSHITTING SKILLS... *laughs* i was basically bullshitting whatever they asked me....and among all my bullshit..i think here's the classic:

examiner: why do you think Mozart compsed such variations?

me: for fun?

examiner: *laughs* well..he could be watching soccer and composed the variation but any other reasons for composing variation?

me: basically, Mozart wrote this variation for his admiration for Duport...and he sort of like played with the notes and all for this variation as this variation is not very typical of him..which is why i said he composed this variation for fun...

*laughs* told you my bullshitting skills are fucking good!! am so proud of myself...

all in all, i thought i did alright for the exams...hopefully i can pass...so must pray a lot and keep my fingers cross till they are fractured!!! *laughs* by the way, a lot of people wished me good luck...so touched....THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! even the most unlikely person messaged me to wish me luck!! and my student actually called me and said..." teacher hannah, good luck for your exam!" wah....touched sia....but all in all..i think GOD helped me the most!!! *smilez*
