Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

Was held tonight at the opera house. The coolest thing was that I actually watched the BEST orchestra perform life. Although I didn't sit comfortably inside the opera house, me and my friends were lucky enough to get free entrances. Around 3 thousand ppl were outside under the stars listening to the wonderful music. My thoughts were drowned by the music as if I was part of it but my conscience made me realize ppl are around me watching.
Mozart
Symphony No. 36, K425 'Linz'

interval

Tchaikovsky
Symphony No.5

Those were the pieces they performed. Tchaikovsky was the same piece we are doing this semester (= Not forgetting they played 3 vienna pieces. I dunno what the titles are but I loved the last one they played which had "Haa-Haa"(as in they shouted while playing)
I totally enjoyed myself tonight. I'm glad I came although close friends didn't turn up. Although I had to freeze tonight shivering my legs off and trying to act cool... ;p I was biting my teeth so hard my jaw hurts. One thing I learn is DON'T run when it's cold and when you're not wearing shoes. My feet hurts now. Felt like they wanted to break with the sharp pain i felt. My back hurts to from the sitting by the steps.
Besides all those moments, I'm totally inspired. Inspired to do more. Inspired to work harder. I'm totally musically recharged I wish it was school hours or study hour so that I could work on my music. Wish it wasn't late so I could continue with my composing. Yes, I have started composing after a long wait and this time I totally love what I write. It's how I feel during my situation at that moment. I could play it out if anyone is interested (= I can't wait to do more.
Even at this moment, I feel like turning back the time and listening to the orchestra play. I wish I could play like them especially on the violin but everyone has their strength and weaknesses. I wish to conduct (= Maybe I'll talk to the conductor of the church orchestra if he could teach me or something. With my fire burning now I'm afraid I'll chicken out. I need all the support and encouragement.
Another dream is to do tap dancing. At least then I'd be able to do performing arts. Will do tat during the holidays if I could afford it.
I can't help thinking about my future and about tonight.
(=
Alot of things happened today but the best part was tonight.

Puzzling

I'm happy no doubt (=
Nothing seems to be getting me depressed or sad.
Been feeling rather lazy this whole week though and am pushing myself alot practising my scales.
I realized quite a number of things this week while being lazy.....
I'm not who I used to be. I'm much more open, wilder, understanding and confident. I no longer have the grudge with God. I do talk to him once in awhile but feel rather sick of ppl talking to me about him.
I'm much more confident about myself. I don't mind working the extra mile to be the best, to be noticed, to be known and respected and looked highly upon. Ok ok... Maybe that's too much to ask for but like I said, I'm not what I used to be. I'm no longer the innocent little obedient, quiet girl I once was. The more you tell me to do something, the more I won't do it.
I realize that being nice and friendly is so not good in my terms. Explain? Erm... Me being nice means more guys falling for me which is bad. Right? I can't even get rid of some and I feel bad for avoiding or pretending to be ok with the whole thing. Can't I juz have normal friends?
I've lost my feeling for love. I hardly think of him now or any other guy for some reason. No point thinking and being all love sick with a person when they hardly contact you and have a conversation. Consider anyone? I'll be truthful... No. Not really. Not in my terms anyway. Or rather not from where I see it. I may admire a person or which to be close buddies so we could talk about music and weird ppl but that's about it.
Friends? I realize I seem to click better with musical people which never used to happen and is bad. As long as you are a musical person in terms of playing then I can easily click.
I feel musically wasted. Like I don't have any other interesting life and am stuck with nothing else but music. That's the only thing that interest me. Including animals... ;p

Another week. Another 'interesting' moments in life to go through.... (=

The sound of music

Was suppose to do assignment tonight but ended up watching this movie. I've always loved this movie. Childhood favourite. It was this movie that got me to love music and wish to do musicals and sing. (=

This week is a happy week for me. Although it was SPW(special-projects-week). Been to uni, practised my head off, had sore throat and cold weather. Not forgetting I was dripping wet when I reached uni one morning. But in the end I sorta feel recharged.
Never felt excited and happy about sabbath in a very long time. Chatted with a few friends i hadn't heard from for ages online. Had alot of laughs from them. Got the courage to be part of a singing group and play the piano with the organ in church. Not to mention I went up to a few ppl and started chatting with them. It was cool. I'm living to the fullest.....
Yup. Got the last sentence from church today. "Living your life to the fullest". Glad I went to Ashfield church today. Joined the adults class, went to a church member's house(cosy place.love the family), received a msg that made me smile (= ...., met a few friends at the conference, got home and here I am.
(singing) If you wanna be somebody, if you wanna go somewhere, you better wake up and pay... attention...(singing)
Does this sound familiar? (=
suddenly this tune came back into my head. It's from sister act 2. It really gave me a push and put a smile on my face.

juz got this pic from rach. my fav pic. the night of my 21st bday..... (= rach,danni, kelly, me and leisha. love these girl... ;) Posted by Picasa

crocodile hunter Steve Irwin

One of the many ppl I admire alot. May his wonderful soul rest in peace. For your info, he died this morning while making a documentary.
Can't believe he's dead. One of my many goals here were to visit him and the zoo he started. I love his work and have always been seeing his shows since 1992 or maybe since they started broadcasting it in Malaysia.
The things he'd done for animals really touched my heart. How close he got to them and how he understood them. Which was why I did science in the 1st place and how I got from a fail in science to an A. (= I worked hard for it coz my dream was to be a vet. To be close with animals and to help them. Not to mention the clothes he wears most the time is always the same... hahah.... I will always remember him.
*sigh*
I hope his family is alright. I could imagine their hearts torn to hear the news yet stay strong. He's been my inspiration many times to further in science but I suppose music took the most out of me.... (=
I still love animals alot. Wished I could still do vet but unfortunately I'm not smart enough(it's true) and my allergy to mites. )= yea..... And plus the amount of depression I go through everyday didn't help with my brain processing well.... ;) But I do believe that with my music, I would still be able to help animals. Even with my allergy I would still come close to them and pet them and smile all over again.
Just by being with the 2 most favourite things in my life, sadness and pain seem to be invinsible. My face lits up and once again nothing really matters.
*sigh*
I miss my lovely dogs. I need contact with animals(although I just did with the neighbours cat, I feel better). I need to get into a zoo soon before i head home. I need animals... (=
It's not as bad as not having music but with animals, I'm closer to the world then music and I stay sane.
