my new homework

awoooooooo!!! I've started my jazz piano lesson today.. boy oh boy my theory skills dah berkarat. So we started off by knowing the difference between jazz beats and classical beats. My teacher is 21years old.. son of my violin teacher. He's ssooooo hip and cool!

Jazz beats gives more harder hits at the 2nd and 4th note bringing in the jumpy sound. I was brushed on my old scales... the minors majors (basic chords) but i'm still about lousy on the tension chords.. the major 7th and friends.. But my teacher.. mr L (named after beethoven's 1st name) gave me an easier way to cope up, using fingering instead. Coool kan!

Then here comes scary part.. playing back my scales... and it's with metronome this time. Was told to play each octave according to the type of notes, eg: 1 octave is played in crotchet and so on till 4 octaves. At 1st fingering was funnyyy but i managed! wee to the hee! :) and i was given my 1st hw.. hehehe. before that he showed me his improvisation for my HW. oh btw, improvisation is important in jazz.

ok.. here it is.. now u can tell huh why im soooo semangat to practise this week! yup u bet i am :)

xoxo....

mon oh day

Let's see... i started innocently (lah sangat) with so many sounds from my blackberry. YM laa, sms laa, email laaa, blackberry messenger laa, group messenger laa... belom lagi bukak twitter.. it was oozing up to 119 notifications over 4 hours. That's considered average coz everybody sleeps during those 4 hours but apparently some other parts of the world are still wide awake.

So the morning curtsies with YM-ing with kathy(qoti)- nama popular terbaru. She, Lia and puput were busy getting their flight tickets here and im telling ya, their process of getting in done from morning till evening was reaalllyyyy funny. It's either somebody's missmatch passport ID or the travel agent wanting so many details, CID/CVD number hunt, ticket timing with my timing to pick them up... but pyu pyu pyu! they got their tickets at last. YAYYYYY can't wait!!! Eh ok, i've accidently jumped to another story, okays back to YM-ing.. So aside from googling for tickets, we were busy tracking for backpackers hostel in Singapore, reading through reviews, checking the google map and comparing prices. At last we were down to 3 choices and maybe later I'll do the 10% depo so that it wont run awayyyy and yeah, i've booked buses as well :) u get brain tired in the evening coz it's like this goose race for "who gets the cheapest tickets and best hotel rates".. but hey, thinking of the trip makes the spirit pumping non stop.. huga huga baby! (gle random).


That's the singapore part, after that we're going around KL and perhaps penang.. maybe. Trying out hop on hop off bus.. haha being born and brought up in KL.. i myself have never tried that bus... but i did check out the info and reviews, it seems worth it tho. The routes and bus stops are very strategic. Price wise?? about what rm19 for my-kad adults & student card/ 24 hours. So u could go unlimited rides in a day, but the timing or frequency of the buses i'm yet to find out.

What's next on our list?? hehe.. will post photos later. Everybody's screaming for me to join breakfast with them.. sheesh.. ye ye saye datang.

ohohomahoho... forgot to add in.. I GOT ADDICTED TO PRINCESS HOURS. Drama mmg hebat.. mmg berdrama habis lah. But I have to admit it's sweet but i can't stand the super lengthy storyline. Imagine, per dvd has 4 episodes, and this series has 6 dvds! Memamg boleh tumbuh fungus if tak gerak till completing all the 6 dvds. If bukan fungus, gangrene pun boleh. But for a lady of leisure (for now) like me.. hehehe I had fun! thank god i didnt cried. Who cried??? please raise ur hand.. puhleaasseee raise ur hand :p eh eh jangan salah ye, i didnt go all 6 dvds, i did only 1st, 2nd, and 6th with skipped episodes and pressing alot of >> button. ok ok i'm off!

taratutata

healed!

i can now resume my normal addictions :)

yay.

always trickled

i've just posted a new gadget on my blog.. and after testing it i suddenly remembered why oh why last time i threw it away... BiSiNg WEyY.... but then again, it's no harm putting it in again but with a different selection of music. Let's give it a go for lets say 7 days? if it's causing my ears to throb and my mood to blog to go landsliding and free falling, then sorry folks, might have to remove it again. Maybe perhaps i should replace it with my own voice?? hahahaha nightmare!!

goodnite blog-o-drama. i still miss my ubertweet. praying hard that i could get my trackball fixed tomorrow. *this is what happens when an addict like me is carrying around a broken bb for a record of more than 24hours. this is something. usually i'll run to the nearest repair centre. and oh btw, i enquired at this shop near my house..

me: boss, u can change blackberry trackball tak?
rm: heh? whats a trackball? what phone is that again?
me: a blackberry.. my scroller in the middle.. u know? yeah that one is missing
rm: haa? what? i dont know let me see 1st ha
me: ok
rm: OOOOOOOOOOO the joystick haaaaaaaaaa
me: (dalam hati) urrghhh i hate it when its called joystick. it's called a TRACKBALL
rm: can ah.. but i charge RM165
me: WHOT?? i just changed my trackball in indonesia and it's only RM40
rm: haa?? so cheap????? no no sorry miss. u want RM40 u go indonesia laaa
me: (dalam hati again) hampeh betul. lagi murah trackball dari tiket kot. geblek.
rm: it's ok laaa i give u discount.. only RM120.
me: oh ok.. how long will it take?
rm: 24hours lor.. coz must send to BB centre. i dont know how to do one
me: (dlm hati again again) erkkk i pun tau how to pasang my trackball, just that i need better & experienced hand to handle. and aaaa lama2 nnt takut hilang.. oh btw, ganti trackball 10-15mins jerr.. HELLOOOO.

conclusion.. tensen saya dibuatnye.


*joystick? wth.

i thought la kan

that i wanted to be so daring to try this out (please note that i rarely try fashion extremes.. just to b on the safe side).. but suddenly... had this urge inside to try this out.. the so called sandra dewi look. and hell.. this is the last time i'm wearing this out!!!

thanks etja for actually wanting willingly to snap photos without having being infected by my embarrassment,

last. period.

last i tell ya.
