Just now I felt bored, so I went to search on the 's of 余光中.

OMG I love his 乡愁 and his 乡愁四韵!!!


乡 愁·余光中

小时候
乡愁是一枚小小的邮票
我在这头
母亲在那头
长大后乡愁是一张窄窄的船票
我在这头
新娘在那头
后来呵
乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓
我在外头
母亲呵在里头
而现在
乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡
我在这头
大陆在那头


乡愁四韵·余光中

给我一瓢长江水啊长江水,
酒一样的长江水,
醉酒的滋味,
是乡愁的滋味,
给我一瓢长江水啊长江水。
 
给我一张海棠红啊海棠红,
血一样的海棠红,
沸血的烧痛,
是乡愁的烧痛,
给我一张海棠红啊海棠红。
 
给我一片雪花白啊雪花白,
信一样的雪花白,
家信的等待,
是乡愁的等待,
给我一片雪花白啊雪花白。
 
给我一朵腊梅香啊腊梅香,
母亲一样的腊梅香,
母亲的芬芳,
是乡土的芬芳,
给我一朵腊梅香啊腊梅香。


Omg I love those poems!!!!!!

><

You know my qing2 compo is also about 乡愁. And for some reason I think it's so damn similar to the 乡愁四韵. Freaky. >< I WROTE THAT QING THINGO WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF 乡愁四韵. Zzz.

Ok. I've finally decided to start on my homework. Finished qing compo, maths supp, math geometry thingo and bei4 shi1. Actually those stuff I've finished bei-ing long ago. ><.

也好, less homework to do :D

Shall go on to the math block test revision paper and geog. I have absolutely no idea on how to do my music analysis. Can get help from piano teach though. >< But I dun wan leh, piano lesson so ex de! Dun wan waste time. And my mum actually wants me to take my grade 8 piano exam next year feb. Wow? I haven't even chosen the pieces yet ok... So retarded. Talk about . It's so impossible to pull off a good grade 8 piece within less than 1 year. Half in fact. Plus aural and sight reading. So impossible. I can't hear the lower part yet ok. It's so stupid. Just because you don't want to spend more money on piano lesson?! HELLO. Quality is better ok. Plus if I don't do well in HMP I'm dead. If you want me to pass you might as well give me a good grade. It's my last chance to get a bloody distinction and I don't want to miss it. I've been getting passes for the past two grades. Ok, grade 7 was a bit better, only because of Giga. But it's still a bloody pass. I want a distinction. Very much.

And my Theory. Honestly I have not much interest in it. I don't get why we have to learn Harmony. Since when we're composing you're looking at the SOUND, not looking at whether there are parallel 5ths and 8ves etc, whether you keep the common notes or not, etc etc etc. They're looking at how does your piece sound like, and sometimes disonant chords attributes to the whole feeling to the piece. Like someone(i forgot, think it's chopin)'s The Disonant. Personally I prefer sitting in front of the piano and trying out the chords one by one. Or just imagining the music in my head. Rather than poring over some stupid rules.

AND, back to piano, I can't pull off a perfect piece with no note mistakes. Serious, no matter how hard I try I can't do it. I would press some chords wrongly and stuff. Or mess up a tremolo/trill. Or mess up the pedal. I just think I'm this useless piece of junk. That can't even play a piece without note mistakes.

AND my dizi. I STILL can't pitch my high soh on the C-diao. If I can't even do C-diao don't talk about G-diao. I read somewhere that bang di is the hardest to blow @_@. Gawd. Even D-diao, my yin se also sucks. NOT LOUD ENOUGH. Everytime someone always says that to me. If I blow any harder I would zou yin. Or get breathless. Ok I admit my chang yin sucks. For the super super high notes I can't hold for more than 3 pai. So far from Elise's 6 pai. Sheesh. I have to take to swimming D:

AND the lian xi qu. The low notes at the ending of the staccato piece, I tu-ed, then no sound come out. A bit harder. HIGH NOTE. -.-" So what is the correct volume of air. -.-".

Ok I've decided not to feel myself useless. God I seriously have major mood swings. And I've just realised it's already 2pm and I haven't eaten my lunch yet. I shall now try to cook a proper meal by myself:D

给我一餐好午餐啊好午餐:D

Lol.

Shall add something else to my wishlist.

And I'm so hungry D:
