School of Music Social Night

Bertakhta Di Hati

Di hempas ombak
Terdampar buih
Menanti waktu pulang ke laut
Begitu rindu
Di pisah takdir
Meniti saat bersulam cinta

(Bridge)
Lihat… lihat…
Ke dalam mataku
Sinarnya menyala
Lihat… lihat…
Ke dalam mataku
Cintamu bertakhta (dihati)

(Korus)
Sebelum ku kenal
Dirimu siapa
Aku tak kenali
Apa itu cinta
Setelah ku kenal
Dirimu sebenar
Kau cinta sejati
Ku sandarkan jiwa

Di gilis angin
Tercarik awan
Menanti detik sebelum hujan
Begitu sendu
Di guris resah
Meniti hari bersulam tangis

(Ulang bridge)

Takkan berganjak pendirianku ini
Selagi kita tak kembali bersatu
Selamanya
Takkan berubah perasaan ini terhadapmu
Biar digugat, biar dicabar, biar dihalang

(Ulang korus

Dance with My Father...

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I’m praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don’t do it usually
But dear Lord she’s dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

DAD Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my Dad.... Sorry I only sent u a Birthday Card yesterday and hopefully will arrive safely..... U r the best Dad ever..

Wednesday was individual practise from morning to afternon. I started with my 2 pieces of music on my piano till I really got them quite smoothly. Yesterday, I was really pressed by Professor Douglas on my Piano. From my Hanon, Fingering exercises was upside down and he insisted me to read the notes carefully especially those notes with sharps.. When comes to my music, the 1st one got me into headache as I only started practising in the morning. I was very hesitant and unsure but other music, Minuetto was not too bad. That's why, the whole day today, I spent alot practising my music, fingering ex and my scales before my nx Piano lesson with proff. I hope nx week would be perfect. Prof Douglas intends to upgrade me in Grade 2on my Piano...Certainly it's a good news and lots of challenges as well.

Not forgetting I was also practising my Cornet in my cells till my lips got swollen.. wahhh... I just got lots of music to cover. At lunch time, I collected my shoes from the cobler and had them polished tonight. I got all my new uniforms ready to go and I just ironed my new trousers lininig new creases which I had them altered earlier. I guess,, by next I shall change and wear my new uniform... Smart!!!

I need to sleep now. Need to wake up early in the morning to complete my homework. I am quite exhausted to do it tonight.

SNOW N SNOW

This morning I got excited as I was ready in my sport attire to go out for 3 miles run, I got surprised when I saw snow covering the area outside.... THe snow really shocked me as we never expect to have snow falling down in Portsmouth... Got very excited and shocked at the same time.. Went backto my room and grabbed my camera.

I was wearing short with a jumper as I jogged to school with snow around me.... It was all white and good sight.. I really loved it. Everyone seemed to get excited aswell seeing the snow. We all falled in at the school waiting for PTI for briefing. THe wind started to blow quite strong as I started to freeze and had to move around restlessly. THe parade area was covered in snow and also the cars... It was quite unsusual to see white stuff covered most reas here..

PTI tinted us out because of the snow and thank god we didn't have to run today. I jogged back to the Wardroom and got online for a while. I managed to chat with Chicko and showed him the snow thru webcam.... siuk.....I don't mind snow and snow everyday... After lunch, the snow kept coming down again as I walked to school. And when we had wind band practise at the Concert Hall, I could see the snow falling down from the window....

Last weekend, I started my new music on my Piano called Minuetto from Mozart. It's quite a good classical piece and thank god I got it atlast in 2 days. When I played Minuetto today, it just getting better and better. I need to focus one more piece... I hope by toningt as I have Professor lesson tomorrow. Our Choir, Panis Angelicus sounds much better today....

I need to get change for dinner now and later, I need to go to a gym for a run... TIme to burn lots of calories...
