Treasured Memories: Skating...

Ice Skating! Is this considered a sport? If yes, I love it! :) It was a first for some of us including me. I must say--how fun!!! There was much laughter as we flailed our arms and tried to keep ourselves upright. Sore legs most certainly followed the next day but it was worth it! The feeling of gliding on "ice" is...wonderful. Freedom. Stress relief after the exams. Thank you Amy, Cheryl, KeYi and Jane!

post exam

After almost five months of gruelling practice and studying, the fall term has finally come to an end. Well, almost. There is still the term concert next week. Then I will be heading home! How time flies. It is the mark of a decade. The New Year was ushered in admist music history studies. It is after the exam, but I can still tell you Johann Sebastian Bach, the famous Baroque period composer, was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Germany. That is what exams are for. Retaining knowledge. But whether it stays after is another matter altogether.

My classmates and I had a great time playing Uno right after our final paper. We just sat on the floor in the studio and joked away. Special times. All the stress has finally passed. For now.

Things which I have wanted to do for months but were casted aside can finally come out of their hiding! Read. Craft. Play new pieces. Watch some movies. Ice skate. The list goes on...
