Today's Thought
25th May 2006
After teaching this morning @ home, very low production in the afternoon . . . 快將到死 . . . 線了.
24th May 2006
Interview @ HKIIM:
Arrived early, but the meeting almost begins at 4pm . . . playing Bach Sonata No. 1 Adagio and Partita No. 2 Allemande. So far so good, the acoustics of the room is strange and my violin just warmed up for one day (haven't been played since last Aug, and as well as my hands also warmed up since yesterday), so, can't expect too much.
Standard interview procedure as described by Nana. I think I understand what they are doing. mm.....well, just a kind of summer job and see in the future whether they will open some advanced courses in theory only....i don't expect too much there. As a Christian, I will do my "spreading-seeds" whenever and wherever I can but i definitely won't specifically use "music-study" as a tool to persuade people to believe....otherwise, it simply is the ancient dynasty political practice -- 用禮樂去教化人心 [well...good or not depends on who practices this, a good emperor or a tyrant]

Unpack the books and notes from the luggage . . . be ready to start my deadline-coming work
---------------------
Confirm some information and the interview time for tomorrow @ HKIIM, but later, they suddenly send me an email asking me to play 10 min violin (which is my major instrument) . . .
Immediately take out the violin and practise . . . the 1st attack/attempt to play is so so so so terrible . . . i can't believe the sound is produced by me (though it is the very true fact) . . . after a few hours practice, sound and hands become much better . . . ^___^
Suddenly they send me another email asking me to change another time for interview as they just got a notice for an urgent meeting @___@ !!!!!!! Well...i choose to meet them in the afternoon rather than coming Thur or Fri morning........... y i u !!!
