So, I had a few days of decent vanishing, and now I am back alive but not very well. I don't remember since exactly when I started to feel so fatigued, it's like all the weariness has been accumulating in my body, I feel like I can pass out any second. I literally need to stop doing what I'm doing and consciously breathe properly, otherwise I feel suffocated; or I just walk around all day feeling air-headed. If I somehow collapse on you, don't be surprised; and if you see me about to fall, give me hug to make sure I don't, will ya? =) Oh what a thing is my feeble heart...
Despite my fragile condition, I haven't managed to stop myself from laughing my head off every time I look at my dad. Apparently, I bought a little kilt-like skirt and wore it with a pair of pants underneath with my boots the other day, and he was so not used to it and he was making fun of me and such 'trend' of wearing stuff you don't normally wear outside; so what he's doing right now is some action-protest, which involves himself walking around in the room with his white shorts and a pair of blue sweatpants-ish pants underneath. Haha.. my dad can be so crazily funny sometimes. (but seriously, I have seen people walking on the street with shorts outside of pants, and if you can manage well, it actually doesn't look that hilarious.)
Finally I decided the date for The Phantom. It's gonna be this Saturday afternoon, and hopefully the plan won't change...
I sent in the UT questionnaire today, feeling so accomplished - the reason? Well, aside from filling out a 6-page questionnaire and writing an essay, I was also asked to do this financial assessment form. What's dumb is that they asked me to estimate my
monthly expense during the 8 months of university
: tuition fees, books, housing... understandable; but for
clothing? I can spend $0 in a month and $1000 another if I have the money... anyhow. Now I just need to wait to be informed about the audition date... crossing my fingers it won't be anytime before late March.
Now some space for my recent fondness.
Jamie Cullum, a jazz singer/piano player/songwriter who's so darn talented (he's style is also a little rock/punk-ish). He's the kinda guy who uses his butt/feet on the keyboard, and go totally wild with a grand piano. He's also singing the theme song for the new Bridget Jones movie. Check out his stuff
here.
Yup, Madeline. I used to watch Madeline on TV in China when I was little, and just a few days ago I saw it on TVO... suddenly all the childhood memory just oozed out on me, felt so enchanted again, just like when I was a little kid. I like Madeline, she's so adorable and sympathetic
. :)
Lang Lang's new CD. He's gonna be performing the "Paganini" Rach piece on March. 16th, I gotta order the tickets asap. I saw a documentary about him on TV the other day, all I can say is... *sigh*, a typical Chinese family with ordinary parents who trained their child to be so extraordinary.
