Piece of the week: Air on G string

So this week, I only went for my orchestra practice once (ok it was last week, since I am doing this like a whole 5 days late) and we were playing (mostly) the G string pieces, or majors...whatever. Anyway, they were getting ready to play for a wedding (booo, we didn't get to play in it since they only want like 5 people!! how stingy!) and the pieces were romantic and great.

This was one of my many favorites of that night, and I tried so hard to remember the names of the pieces (even had to write them on my phone, just in case) and this particular piece is so familiar yet I never could find the exact title for it. NOW I know. :D This lovely piece is by Bach. :)

It is a romantic piece, good for those long walks down the isle or a romantic dance with your partner (now that makes me wanna dance) altho it also reminds me of the castle, knights and kings and queens. :) So I leave you with Air on G string by Bach.

Early morning rant

I sometimes feel like rambling about nothing-ness but when I come here...to spill my ill thoughts random ramblings, I go numb. Like, hmmmrrmmm what was it that I was annoyed at? Yes, exactly. I have no effin' idea.

Today I was just feeling kinda at peace with myself, wait maybe not. I don't really know how to express the feeling, but I'm not sad nor am I happy. It's like being stuck in the middle. At peace? With myself? I dunno...but people have been asking me, constantly about when will CLK and I meet again. I suppose the idea of him not being here really puts me down. Like don't rub it in the face man, I know he's like half way across the world you don't need to remind me of that fact - kinda feeling. You know...

It has been about 7 months this 15th of September that I last saw him, like see him, feel him kinda see. *sigh* I talk to him almost daily but it is not the same. I mean we didn't want to be put in this exact situation but it just happened. I guess there are some good that comes with it but like what is good if you are apart right? I dunno...I mean it is good, but the distance really is bull. But that's what we choose, we decided, we took and accepted. :) And I am happy. (Ok didn't I say it puts me down?)

I dunno, I guess some people can't see how it could work, having a loooooooooooooong distance relationship and all, and being apart for so long. The way I see it, is that if you have no desire to be with someone else, or attracted to anyone else it would work, right? And I do believe in karma. I mean, if the other person was cheating on you you are sure to know about it one way or another. Karma's a bitch I know. Altho I am hoping karma would be good to me this time :). I mean what have I done to be bitten on the ass right?

Anyway, I was just rambling...actually there was a point to this but like I said I forgot as soon as I see the 'new post' segment. Life's a chocolate factory...haha. Hmmm, chocolate.

I just miss him.

Piece of the week: The planets Op. 32 Jupiter

:D I love planets. This week piece is a piece that I somewhat hate love, I guess I have a love-hate relationship with it. Undoubtedly it is a very good piece. :) Or maybe it's the conductor my lack of side reading skills...but listen to it. It is really good.


So I give you The Planets Op. 32 Jupiter by Gustav Holst

Monday blues

Seriously, I think I have Monday blues. :( I just realized the my drivers license expires tomorrow and I can't go and renew it!!!! I have an 8 am class (I think, I'm not sure!!) I am so screwed! And I just spent !@*(!#$**# amount of money sending a parcel to CLK today. Like I knew it was gonna be much but not THAT much. You hear? *sigh*


I have been on retail therapy lately, and I need a therapy to get out of that therapy. I NEED A GOOD BOOK! Seriously. Lately I'm obsessed with something....and my kitties are leaving me soon. :( I'm so sad!!! Like really. They are the cutesttttt of the cutest. I'll post pictures soon, I need to catch some zzzz. Night.

Piece of the week: Greensleeves

This piece was our soundtrack favorite growing up. (Al, this piece is close to heart ain't it?) This is an 18th century piece by Mozart, altho I think it is relatively short and I wish it was longer. It reminded me of the King Arthur era, where all are white and gay (gay as in happy, joyous, celebratorious (is that a word?)). And it is so never-ending-story theme. :) You know what I mean. ;)


So this week I present to you Greensleeves by Mozart.

** The first clip is the piece we usually play with the orchestra, and I thought was the original one, or maybe not...I don't know but the second one so reminds me of King Arthur. Dang I want to watch The Tudors.

Merdeka

I know this is 1st of September (here it is) but I just want to make a shout out to everyone out there who celebrated our Independence yesterday.

SELAMAT HARI MERDEKA**!! 1 Malaysia.

Ok I am a lil late on that throw-your-hands-up-in-the-air-kinda-thingy, but I really meant to post this yesterday, really. :D I did not celebrate. Nope. Not this year. Nor any other year. Well maybe some years when I was in college, bored with the internet, since you're on it 24/7 (damn I should've started this blog then, actually I do blog but on MySpace :P) and go, 

'hey why don't we go make a fool of ourself and try to look slutty sultry and sexy while doing it?'  

Haha, nah I'm not like that. Really. :D So some 31st August was great, or should I say the 30th night. We use to rent this house, and from there we could see fireworks and didn't have to be stuck in traffic to go to the stadium or whatsoever to watch it. Cool heh? :D We'd usually just sit on the park benches in front of our rented house and take pictures with the firework on display. I think 2 years ago was the best, since our college had a firework display too and the state had a firework display too. It sounded like Thor was having an uproar with Zeus :P and I feel like I was in this colorful, bright, loud, and magical land.

Awesome. I think I have some pictures. I'd have to dig those up. :D

Anywhooo, this year was bleh. I, for one, did not really enjoy the night/day. It was kinda peaceful yet boring. Altho I fell asleep before midnight I probably missed the fireworks. :( Oh well I'd have to wait till New Years. But the kids were playing fire crackers and fireworks of their own. Damn, annoying kids!!! But yeah, it dampers the mood of my Merdeka night. But at least I got a good night sleep, eh? :D Well deserved.

Oh, I just realized that it was also the anniversary of the death of Princess Diana. She died 31st August 1997, and I remembered that day clearly. Since it was our Independence day, we were celebrating it. With joy. Then the news of the princess dying really shocked me. So every year on the 31st of August, it always reminds me of the horrible crash that took her life away. :) Altho I did not know her but she has done amazing things in the short life. You will always be missed.

**Selamat Hari Merdeka = Happy Independence Day

Piece of the week: The Marriage of Figaro

This week piece is by Mozart. Altho it was not the piece that I wanted to share but I could not find the one that I wanted so this will have to do. :) Enjoy Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro.
