I am Sof.

Supposedly ‘blue tongued’ version of me.

The sky viewing from the window of my room.

Things that occupy my mind , in order of appearing frequency:

1/ univeristy
2/ university
3/ university
4/ piano
5/ prom dress
6/ English ISU
7/ going downtown / shopping
8/ job/work
9/ all the fun that’s to come

Things I want to do, not in any particular order:
1/ get my ears pierced
2/ go to Paris
3/ do a photoshoot of naked human body
4/ own a PT Cruiser

I’ve tried on a few prom dresses at STC today, but I don’t think I’m getting one from there, since ‘everybody will get theirs there’. I have some vague ideas of what I want my prom dress to be, but the ones I like are i) too much $$ ii) too long/don’t have my size iii) colours aren’t exactly to my taste. Blah. Although I’ve said I don’t want a black one, but now it seems like I’m desperate to the point that if I do happen to see a good black dress, I’ll probably just buy it. Don’t laugh at me when I appear in a black strapless dress… hehe.

Did I mention I want to do a photoshoot of naked human bodies? I got the idea when I was taking a shower, as crazy as it sounds. It can be so beautiful. Speaking of photography, I think I’m gonna stick with the old-fashioned way with the film and the SLR. Digital is convenient, but the real art of photography also takes action in the process of developing films (which I technically know nothing about). As well, it eliminated the possibility of inauthenticity; namely, photoshopping.

Blame spring’s beauty for my incoherent post.

I’m so proud of our mad choir.

The concert went fabulously. We performed well - I’m glad that my inner ear didn’t pop when I was singing as it usually would happen - and the other choirs sang beautifully as well (except for the fact that the adult choir’s soprano section never seemed to get the high notes high enough.. and they sounded as if they were being butchered…), the children’s chorus was heavenly. There was a little chubby Chinese guy who was standing in the centre of the huge choir who attracted all of our attention - not only was he cute, he was also very engaged in the music that he started jerking about like a pro opera singer. Oh those kids were lovely. I feel sorry that not a lot of people attended the concert - it is true that there were more performers than listeners; but if I were to pay $40 to listen to them in the Geroge Weston Recital Hall, I would.

Much love to Ayra who has brought so much fun. We started laughing about something super minor and continued the hearted laughter for about 5 continuous minutes until my cheeks started to hurt - while we could not get over the fact that the conductor’s British accent was so sexy. I finally found someone who can be my partner to make a building collapse through clapping electrifyingly loud. Grade tenners, how I love thee.

Prior to the concert, I went shopping after work today, I have to admit that Jacob Connexion is now my 2nd favourite store. Got some springy stuff, and also went to check out some stuff for babies; a pair of tiny shoes for 1-month-olds is $30. Geez, more expensive than mine. I’m clueless of what to buy for babies.

I’m so happy that my arm doesn’t hurt anymore; it stopped this morning, miraculously sudden. As much as I look forward to the 1st rehearsal with WE, I fear I might bomb it due to the lack of practice. I guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow.

all these is part of being in this choir

She said, you should feel the sound is deep from your abdomen, not floating from your chest. I felt. The sound I heard, coming from a triangular case full of strings, is full of thoughts. Not coming from my fingers, but from my heart.

I was practising Ballde No.3, and as I opened my score, I saw some marks on the 1st ballade which I’ve never seen before. Other than the bold “Zal”, places are circled with concise remarks beside them in pencil. Ha, it’s probably from Eastman, during the masterclass; if so, they must have been written by Dr.Pollei - some of them are quite encouraging.

I should’ve called FM96.3 yesterday, they were giving out tickets to see Evita. Their Paris package is reeaaally intriguing, too bad I’m not 18 yet.

Spring is officially here. Yay. The night feels cool but not cold anymore, accumulated snow is melting, everything is coming back to life. Beauty of nature never cease to inspire me.

As I ‘foresaw’ spring’s arrival, I also foresee a potential swtich of my blog, again. Apparently Yahoo! is going to establish something called Yahoo! 360° which is going to combine photo album, blog, message board and other Yahoo! services altogether. It sounds like it’s gonna be pretty convenient. Also, as I was planning to pay Flickr for the unlimited storage service, I would probably wait to see what Yahoo!’s gonna do with Flickr since Yahoo! just recently bought that company. (thanks to Ross for that news)

Now some random photography.

I’m pretty sure I wasn’t playing; I was just testing the keyboard. My hand would be too awkward if I was playing. 前天学校里的庆祝学校精神的演出上拍的；我没在弹，要不然我的手的姿势就太奇怪了。

Okay I officially decided to use this blog. (don’t beat me up… I’m sorry for always moving around, but seemingly I have this nature of abandoning old things for new things… )

Two and 3 days until my audition. I’m trying to focus; thus I’ll probably not use msn as often as before until the 28th. And yes, March break is my Ramadan week; no movies, no shopping trips, no going-outs, less TV, less msn, less fun… It’s good though, it’s good. The accumulated urge to have fun will make me a much happier person after the 28th.

Yesterday I bused to my piano teacher’s house. The bus driver didn’t even bother to stop at the stop which another lady and I wanted to get off; he just drove right pass it. I was a little frustrated, the lady started banging the door and swearing very loudly at the same time. Hey, didn’t they just raise the ticket price? We pay more for such awful service? Hmph.

A Miss Van style I attempted during philosophy on one of the handouts. Forgive me, I was bored.
