A Master
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
Today, Ms Su mentioned that to be a master, one has to put in 10, 000 hours worth of effort. Doing a little calculation, doing nothing but practice for 24 hours every day would take me about a year to become a master. 12 hours per day would take about 2.5 years to be a master. Imagine I practice guitar for less than 1 hour per day on the average. Even better, I stopped practice for the whole of last year and tune up my guitar to start again a week before. Guess how long it would take me to be a master? Would be better if I went back to piano huh? At least it would take a shorter time if I persist xD
Anyway, it was just a random thought. Hmm...speaking of random, I was thinking how short my attention span would be. Sometimes when I think of something, it would link to another thing that's completely not related to the actual thing and then it would link to yet another thought. It would go in this manner until I find myself musing about a thing completely off topic and wonder why I was thinking about it while I'm supposed to focus on something else. Heh, so I feel that I should do a little experiment. For the next 5 minutes I would type out whatever that happens to go through my brain and see what other thoughts are dragged in.
Here I go. Topic would be...Peanuts.
Ok, I'm gonna use purple my favourite colour. haha..see? i'm not even on the topic about peanuts anymore! It's 9.15pm now, At 9.20pm I would stop. Anyway, back to peanuts, had this word popped into my head while typing the post yesterday. Had wanted to put A levels would be peanuts...or at least walnuts at the end of the post but felt that it was too disregarding? Is it the right word to use? Anyway, peanuts, and walnuts. Dont know how walnuts came into being but it just did. Peanuts, something that elephants eat, and it does not have the same shape or taste like walnuts! Walnuts are so much nicer and peanuts? Peanuts are so common, eat too much and the throat would just go so dry. Hate it when it happens. Sheesh.
Haha...that was lame. Of course, what I had wanted to test is not that feasible. It's difficult to keep track of my thoughts and type down at the same time. The different kinds of thought just flash by so briefly, making snide remarks one moment and gone the next. Moreover, the wandering thoughts come into being when I need not be focused like typing things down...so yeah.
Ok, moving on. It's so rare that I would type 2 posts in a row. Yesterday and today. Anyway, I need back some of my audience to keep the tagboard not so dejected and unused =P
Was talking about guitar somewhere near the beginning of the post. Well, I'm proud to say that I can now play the intro to 彩虹 by jay Chou quite smoothly =] 3 days work haha. Even though it's just the intro, I'm still happy that it sounds alright and smooth. Working hard for rest of song!
Now I have run out of things to talk about. Gonna stop writing and go do some other stuff.
Cya~
P.S. dont mind the white highlights for some of the words, pressed some wrong buttons while changing font colour and it's now like that.

Start of school
Monday, January 11, 2010
Today school starts.
I feels as if I put a hold on almost everything relating to school and then, today I press that 'play' button again. On the surface, it felt like nothing had changed over the past few months since the end of my promos until today, but so much had been going on in the school. Life didnt cease to exist when I'm not going to school. Some teachers left the college, including our very own principal and VP, some friends were gone too. Retained, superannuated, graduated...disappeared. Indeed, it was quite a surprise when I enter school today and didnt see the familiar figure of JQ sitting at that table in canteen. haha...life goes on. Even the surroundings of the school had changed. IJC is preparing for the Open House on this wed, there were many posters hanging on the walls, fences outside the college, and along the staircases. Even the few flats that were still under construction next to our school had grown taller and more intimidating.
Let's go back to what was going through my mind today. The song 'what about now' by Daughtry kick start my day on the ipod, nice coincidence. Yeah, it IS time to think about what to do now, how to cope with year that would become very stressful later on. Not that I did not think about it, I had thought about what to do for the year, made some ingenious plans up and crossing my fingers that the plans would work and that I keep faithfully to what I planned to do. Guess it would be a true test, hopefully I would be posting again with pride that I did not fail to keep to my plans. Haha, being a disciplined girl would not sound like me since I love to procrastinate, but wonders do happen in fits and bursts according to my current mood. In simple english, when I have the determination and the right
feel to do something. Pigs would fly, the sky would fall and Zona would not procrastinate at all for this year. Wonders do happen and pigs do fly, just take a look at 'airpork' XD
Yeaps, I have this feeling that I just wrote some gibberish or somethings that I would regret later...but I would worry about that later. Oh hell,
Live For the Present, who knows what would happen the next day? As long as I believe in myself and not give up on the opportunities to make myself proud of myself (
sounds weird lol), I'm quite sure that A levels wouldnt be any problem. =]

A new year
Sunday, January 03, 2010
It's a New Year, a New Beginning.
Well, I'm sure there would be lots of things going on for this year.
A levels, graduation..not to mention that a certain somebody would be leaving to go US...
For last year, it seemed that everything had gone past in a flash, and now, here's the new year 2010.
There would be no joking around for this year, hah, I have to be serious in my studying and there's the nagging thing of having to prepare my portfolio for NMA. I wonder if I even have enough photos to make a good portfolio T.T
Anyway, besides all these, I made a promise to myself that I would post more regulary on my blog, at least once every 2 weeks? Well, I know I can somehow keep to my promise cos I made the decision of not going to read manga when I have get online haha (trying to behave like a normal human being for once). I didn't go read any manga since changing my blogskin and typing this post (see, I could do it xD)
Well, that's all for now, would be going to prepare to upload all those photos that I had taken while on holiday in China and maybe posting a new post about the holiday
So, Happy 2010~ (even tho it's super belated :])
