Another D-Day.. PRAISE THE LORD!
Today's another D-DAy ... but this time it's collecting our last semester's examination results .. which kind of made me couldn't sleep well last night (due to the mosquitos as well) and oh also .. coz was really anxious to know my Performance results ... and Harmony .. knowing i don't know what i learnt throught the whole semester ... aaahhaha
So yeah , Ting and i promised to meet in school at 11 30am and when we were there the results were not ready coz some really super innocent yet irresponsible tutors just submitted the results to the college! They're one of a kind .. (not mentioning another one who totally didn't submit at all until ting and i asked about it when it was all printed out)
Since results were not ready , we both made our way to The Curve to have a good catch up session ... and by the time we got back to school it was almost 3pm and so it's out now ... We both were quite stunned with our results for quite different reasons ...
I was stunned because of my Harmony and Historical STudies marks .... she was stunned with her Performance marks .. but THE HEART ATTACK has yet to come ... (remember i mentioned about one tutor who didn't submit our results?)
So yeah ... we hanged around analysing our results and checking out on others as well ... then Mun Wei appeared and hers was really a disappointment .. for a soon-to-be performer like her .. i share her same passion and disappointment as well . I know how she feels .. imagine myself getting that low marks i'd die ... and probably find it hard to chew on that fact for the next few days ...
Because of Mun Wei's unstable emotions , i suggested to have a drink at McD's before leaving just in case she breaks down driving back to Seremban haflway ... i dunno .. things could happen ... as a token of appreciation , we also bought the two Ah KAk's Chocolate Sundae to cheer them up for their hard work (YEAH RIGHT) getting the results ready and all ...
So basically by the time everything's over and i reached home at 4+ pm... my whole day was gone ... my initial plan to do some house keeping and do my arrangement for my JMC students were all wiped out ... the only plan i managed to carry out was to practice Impro .. that's also because i thought i'm going to have class tomorrow ... Then again while practising , i thought to myself .. this
"Aiyoh ..lazy to practice la... i don't think tomorrow got class ... don't think he'll be free tomorrow... so if not going his house then don't have to practice so much .. ahahha no no , better practice! PRACTICE IMPRO! "
Don't know if this is another of my intuition thing .. but by 10+ pm when i received C.H's phone call .. it is true , tomorrow he's not free and i can't have lesson with him . I just giggled when he said that ... and suddenly felt quite uneasy .. because the holidays are eating up and there's not much time left before school starts .. and also pretty worried about our EF ensemble which we haven't started a single practice. .. coz he's not free... and he promised to pass me this and that but hasn't been able to until now.. so yeah ... but i can't ask for more can i ? SEE!? STRANGE ..
Conclusion ... i just want to give my Lord Jesus Christ all the glory and praise ... coz without Him i wouldn't get this kind of results ... honestly , the whole semester passed so fast and furiously i thought i didn't do well ... but this time besides Performance and Music Production .. everything was a UP UP thing .. hahahaha .. really PRAISE GOD! Though I cared most about my Performance results , but i know i shouldn't be expecting much this time coz of Mr H.S who failed me before in my Gd 5 exam ... so getting what i got should be pretty OK i guess... =)
But there also the unexpected sides of this result when we thought other people who deserve this certain marks did not get it and vice versa ...
But God has been good and i should stop winding and complaining and fretting about my life .. and just sit back and be thankful .. reflect on what's been happening . Honestly , sometimes i ponder on my life . Pondering on how i spent so much time and effort on my assignments , practice time , research , composition , music production , blah blah .. staying up late at night , figuring out how to compose an idiotic F1 piece (which i think is crappy) ... and even still spend 5 days in a week going to work to teach ....
I'm 100% convinved i did none of this on my own strength ... and onyl God alone can be so kind and merciful to me ... to give me the strength .. you know , ever since i took the music path .. i've never had good confidence on myself ... i mean ... i know i'm not good in music ,not born talented or gifted with perfect pitch or whatsoever ... but i do know my strengths and weaknesesses.. now ... and as i spend more and more time in Academy , i start to gain a little more confidence here and there ...
With the help of people around me ... giving me feedbacks and all .. it does help boost my confidence. .. and self-esteem in music . My results this time too .. i really should be thankful for this ... and i told my friends this ,
"Hey , who says Hard Work don't pay off ?? Trust me , it does .. when you work hard the results come .. "
So it does ... and i come to a conclusion that even unmusical people can be musical if they work hard for it . All Things ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH CHRIST! AMEN! hhahhah ... but of course with the right attitude and passion . But i'm hoping my pride won't take over .. coz i'm a very prideful person and i do realize things won't be good if pride takes over my character . So pls tame me down ok God ...

Congratulations even though I don't understand what that double digit thing means.
Working hard is important but no matter how hard you work, things will never be complete if you don't submit everything to God.
I am glad that God has shown you how He has blessed your chosen path, even if it is not an easy one. God always always has our best interests at heart, and He never lets us down. The only times when we think that He is letting us down, is when we fail to see God's true nature and try to define God by our own ideas. So keep working hard and you will see how God is taking each step, no matter how long and hard it is, together with you.
Hey bex... glad you posted a comment . Thought you never came to read my latest posts! Hahahha.. Yeah i guess the more i don't trust myself the more i know God is at work and at least .. He is blessing me in every way . Though i do feel guilty especially lately hasn't been talking to Him much.. But i shall continue to submit everything to Him and let Him take over ... =)
Oh and our results are also based on the scale point system which means the lower the number the better your results are . So 1 is the best and so on ... that's why i said thank God i didn't get a double digit scale point this time. My worst was an 8 .
