For Honour and Glory

I found new meaning in life recently.

That is, my aspiration to become a commando has become a closer reality.

Cos i've been selected to go for a selection test :D


For Honour and Glory.



After the scholarship fair ytd,
i've realized how impt prelims are.
esp when you're a guy.

so i've resolved to start mugging for prelims.
at least 80% for all my subjects.


today, after 3weeks of 1hour mugging daily,
i reached my 1992nd note.
out of the 2973 notes of Moto Perpetuo by paganini, (around 67%) :D

although there're around 20-24 notes that i keep missing/slowing down/going out of tune ._.


if nothing goes wrong.
i should be able to learn the piece by the end of the month.

and bring it up to performance standard by end of next month.


there, 3 months to learn a piece.
that's 3 pages long ._.

with the exception of 2 crotchet rests at the beginning,
2 demisemiquavers, 2 quavers, 2 quaver rests, 2 crotchet rests, 1 minum and a final 2 beats rest,

all the rest of the song, all 2968 notes of them, are semiquavers(:
nonstop playing to reach the end of the song.

and my hands are already aching like hell halfway through the song at around 60% of the speed ._.

no words,
just love.
