YEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
These few days had been spent, studying, studying, and studying.
I think I will fail Prelim 1 terribly because I still think I am not in the very pia mode now.
Anyway as you all know our english oral assignment will be due today, approximately 23 hours from now.
And so the ever 'hardworking' Terence Ong has typed out his own passage. I am not joking.
Here's the passage:
-----------------------------
Peter stood in front of the mirror. He adjusted his tie. Even though the backstage is air-conditioned, beads of perspiration flowed down his cheeks. Awhile more he will be going on stage to give a solo performance. All eyes will then rest on this 20-year old piano prodigy. “Keep calm Peter,” Peter tried to calm himself down. He was very, very nervous.
The curtains parted. Peter walked towards the centre, where the grand, old piano was. Before sitting, he took a bow. Waves of applause echoed in his ears. He felt a huge sense of achievement. Of course, being able to be compared with Mozart and the other great musicians was a reputation that cannot be easily replicated. Many things were going through his mind right now. From young, his parents have always been strict. Forcing him to play the piano since three, Peter’s parents had always hoped that he would also, in future, become a musician like his father and mother. His father was a famous saxophonist in his prime, and Peter’s mother was a violinist who had won a lot of awards, including the most prestigious TerOng Awards. Now, as they are haggard and old, they cannot afford to continue remain at the top anymore. They have the same wish, which is to see their son become the best musician of his generation.
All the efforts are finally paying off now. He now has a chance to perform in front of an international audience. In it, some of them are reporters, musicians, and even headmasters of renowned music schools. Maybe, after a good performance, he would be flying off to another country to pursue his music dream. Wrong, you might think. It should be his parent’s dream.
“Though it is my parent’s dream to become a good musician, all these years of playing the piano has made me love it. It seems I have an affinity with it,” thought Peter.
He sat down. His fingers swiftly danced around the piano keys. All was beautiful and calm at first. Then the tone changed, into a fast and furious melody. Somehow, it sort of resembles a storm; everything was just messy, like waves crashing onto the ship’s hull, threatening to knock the sailing vessel over. The ship was in a pathetic state, tossed around by the ruthless waves. Then suddenly everything became calm and still. The battered vessel was once again sailing in peaceful waters. Coupled with the sunset, it was a majestic sight.
This somehow summarizes his life at the moment.
--------------------------------
I think, this is the most chim shit I ever done.
I figured out that the ending would be like this, because if I carried on I think I don't need to sleep tonight.
By the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY FATTYFEL!!
May you get all the wishes that you want! (most probably food but hmm...)
Today is your day so enjoy it!
