YOG Rehearsal

Hi again, minna-san~!!!
How are you??
As I promised before, I will share about YOG rehearsal last night.
It was very crowded. There were lots of people, I think there were thousand of them.
There's nothing much to say in the beginning. We just sat there and waited. I saw groups of people who will perform, passing by us.
Then, we were asked to walk and go to the floating platform. While walking, we kept chit chatting with our mentors and classmates. We took a lot pictures and had fun.
But, suddenly, we were asked to stop and not long after that, a big group of people were passing by us. Who were they? They were the kids who will perform for YOG opening ceremony. They were so cute and small.
Some of my classmates tried to scare them and yes, it did work. Some of the girls shocked and ran faster to avoid them. I guess they must be feeling like this , hahaha...
After those never ending groups of people passed by, we finally can walk again to the floating platform. Today we helped the rehearsal by acting as the "athelets".
As soon as we sat, they started the rehearsal. I was expecting something ordinary while in fact, it turned out to be something good. Most of the performers are elementary and secondary school students. They were really good. Guess, they had been through "merciless" training, maybe??
Anyway, the rehearsal was very nice and I did take lots of pics and videos *giggle giggle*
This is one of the pics that I took
Inside this photo, yes, they are my classmates. However, this isn't all of them. I have 45 people in my class. (what a huge class, isn't it!?)

My First Violin Lesson

Today was a very special day to me coz it was my first day of violin lesson.

In the morning as I woke up, I felt very excited~ XDD
I cleaned my room first and did my usual activities.
And then, when the clock was pointing at 3, I went to take a shower and prepare myself.
Maybe because I was too excited, at the end I ended up coming too early. My teacher had not been there yet. So, I was waiting for him or her.. ( I still didn't know who my teacher is).
At 4:05 PM, she came in and greeted me. (Oh, it's a her).
Then, we went to my classroom. It was a small room almost the same size as my queen bed, maybe in the size of 2mx2m?

Anyway, I started my lesson. She taught me how to hold my bow and violin. I had no problem when holding my violin and putting on my shoulder, but I did have problem in bowing. My right hand was so stiff and nervous (I guess). She kept telling me to relax, relax, and relax, which I always failed to do.

Thirty minutes seemed very short and before I know, the lesson ended. Today there wasn't much that I learned, but I felt very happy because now I can make my violin sing~ not making some weird sound like I did before I attended the lesson.

Now, I have to go back home as soon as possible because at 5:30 PM, I have to attend a full dressed rehearsal of YOG opening ceremony in floating platform. I will share you all my experience there later.

For the time being, c ya~!!

Hola~~

WOW, it's sure been a very very long time since the last time I posted in my blog..

Hello, minna-san~~
Did anyone miss me?? (of course no!) ahaha..

Umm, btw, this is my first post using my new laptop which I bought last week..

My old laptop spoiled >_<
It was working normally the night before, but the next morning I could not turn it on.. I was panic and immediately went to Sony Service Centre.
According to Sony's staff, my motherboard has spoiled and it is most likely coz of short circuit "dammit electricity!!* )
Then, I asked whether I can fix my laptop, but the staff laughed and said that instead of fixing my old laptop, it's better for me to buy a new one because of fixing cost is almost the same as buying a new one..
So, I called my papa and he told me to just buy a new one..

That night I cried coz I really don't want to change my laptop.. It might be quite old and the machine is not as updated as the new one, but still, it was my first laptop and I REALLY love it..

However, I need to make up my mind and buy a new one. Therefore, the next day I went to buy a new laptop.. At first I tried to find a similar laptop to the old one, but I couldn't find it. (guess I really have to let it go)
After thinking for like one and a half hour (btw, I really felt sorry for the staff coz he had to wait for me), I made up my mind and chose one series which was the most similar to mine compare to the rest..

Well, my new laptop is not bad.. In fact, it is very good.. It runs faster (of course).. It's just that it does not have any music button and illumination light like the old one.. Also, I can't use some program coz it's Windows 7 64-bit (previous one was Vista 32-bit).. Some programs like Google Chrome and Lyrics Plugin often got crashed.. And more importantly, I am not used to Windows 7..

Though I love my new vaio, I will never forget my old vaio.. I have lots of memories together with it.. I will definitely try to fix it (when I have the money)..
.....till we meet again my laptop


One more thing, I just found out that some people are using my blog as a source/credit for their website..

I feel touched since I never thought that my blog can be useful..

I will try to keep my posting regularly!!! Ganbatte kiku~!!! (but again, hopefully I can)
