Quote from my Civics Tutor: "Trust you all have had a good break. (Can already hear the collective groans of NOOOOOOOOOOOO)"...

The month long December holidays are coming to an end. There is a general rush to complete assignments, homework, revision for re-papers. The year will be tough ahead for JC students (as it always will be)

WORD OF THE DAY: Sprat
A small or inconsequential person or thing.

I found this word amusing. It sounds like 'spat' and 'sprout' which have nil resemblance to the meaning of sprat. hehe (random moment)

Speciale - video



This is one of my FAVOURITEEE new age pieces. It starts off perfectly tame and simple but gradually increasing in dynamics, volatility, texture and intensity along the way. Who says pieces which require whole arms to play dosen't. sound lovely? This piece just proves that statement wrong.

The title, 'All of me' was chosen due to the need for the pianist to use all of himself, physically, mentally and emotionally to play this piece. More literally, it points to the unusual requirement of the pianist to use the whole length of the arm instead of just typically, the fingers.

When my friend was practicing for this piece for a recent recital, my teacher was extremely concerned about her piano everytime he played for he to comment. She would say 'Careful ah! Don't break any of my strings.'
In short, 2 words - enlightening, magical
