Grandma... Emo

Blogger seems to be having problems again. Ctrl + F5 is not working now. Argh, very annoyed at this moment...

Went to Nerdi's blog. His posts are all making me more irritated. Reading people's posts always give me some peaceful moments and some time to rest. But his are all getting my nerves. I wish I had never read them. Yea...

Talking about Nerdi. Somehow I feel that he's slowly fading away in my life. Somehow I would stop thinking about him and when people mention the things he does, I get less interested. And whatever he is doing stop getting my attention. Although he's not wondering around in my life now, he's still appearing in my dreams.

It's like, today I didn't see him, didn't bother to think about him, at night I will still dream about him. WTH. And almost everytime it's the same scene. That is he looks at me without expression and then disappear. Sometimes in the June holidays, I woke up with teary eyes. But it has become a habit that now I don't really bother to recall the dream after I wake up.

This is what I checked from one website for dreams.

在梦中和对方像情人一般的交往,代表你和他能成为情人的机会很微。如果在梦中只可从远方望对方,表示你和他实际上沟通有问题。如果在梦中看见对方离你远去,代表实际上你和他是有机会发展的,只是你常常错失机会而已。

Nerdi is just a distraction. He doesn't give me good grades and doesn't plan a bright future ahead for me. What I am supposed and must do is to study. I must study. I must remember the pain my grandma had endured to take care of me.The sad moment when she passed away. The moment when my mum became speechless and could not cry even though her heart was breaking. The moment when all my relatives knelt down and tried to pull my mum up and she just sat there staring at my grandma...

Although I was very young that time, I could still remember. My mum was kneeling on the ground, not crying because she had cried too much, saying that she hadn't seen my grandma for the last time. She was saying, "妈, 我连你最后一面都没看到. 你就走了... 我还有好多好多话还没有跟你说..." I could not utter a word that time because I was crying too much too. And my dad was kneeling beside her too. That was the first time I saw my dad cry.

My mum said my grandma took care of me even when she was very sick and needed to be hospitalised. She just wished that I could be a successful person so her effort can pay off. But before she even see my success, she left...

Why am I emo-ing... Sigh. I miss my grandma again. Comfort me...

Guzheng...

Hellos everybody! Aww man today I can't post anything because I did nothing in the morning besides sleeping. Woke up at 11.47am but still felt sleepy. Spent half an hour sitting by the dinning table listening to music and dreaming. After that, ate breakfast at around 12.30pm. Spent about 30 minutes eating breakfast because I was reading Dreams of the Red Chamber at the same time.


After that I practised my guzheng. Currently learning a new song, 彝族舞曲. The 彝 has the same pronounciation as 仪. It is a very nice song. It was originally a pipa piece. But since Guzheng has similar sound to pipa, many people tried to convert it to a Guzheng piece.

There are 2 different versions of the song. One written by one famous Guzheng-ist, 潘妙兴. The other by another famous Guzheng-ist, 王中山. 王中山's version has some similar 指法 to pipa so it's more original. But some parts of the song requires some skills I have not learnt, so I must spend some time to master it before playing the notes. Finding notes is easy, but learning new skills takes time. : (

One of them is the 四指轮. Meaning to play one string by moving your fingers except the small finger very quickly, producing a sound that is similar to pipa's 五指轮. Pipa is different as it is played by moving your fingers outwards while guzheng is moving your fingers inwards. That is the main thing I cannot adapt.

Somemore there are many strings on Guzheng which creates a difficulty to move your fingers so quickly. Another skill that is very difficult is the 三指摇. I've learnt to 摇 with one finger, that is my thumb ONLY. This time, I have to 摇 with 3 fingers, on 3 different strings, it is really difficult. Moreover, you need enough strength from your wrist to move your index finger.

Another problem, most parts of the song is played in a super fast mode. Which requires me to practise for a long time before connecting all parts of the song together. Some of the parts need me to create a quiet atmosphere, so somehow I need to 培养感情 when playing them.

Aww... I still miss Guzheng. When there's combined practices at CO, my eyes will automatically turn to the place where Guzhengs are. Looking at them makes me think of my past. Although I'm learning pipa now, I will never forget Guzheng. It has accompanied me through most of my sad times. Everytime I quarrel with my mum or feels upset about something, I would sit by it and play. At first, I would usually play sad songs but slowly my mood will change... Yup.

I had once said, Guzheng is my life. Yes, it will always be my life. : )
