Frond Ferny - New Year, Power of the Metronome and...the timer function on a digital camera =)

Before I start, I'd like to say....HAPPPEEEE NEW YEAR!!! Hope 2007 will be a wonderful year for all of us!

Wasn't a very nice start to the year considering I had to send Merster off to Sydney in the morning. Didn't help I didn't have enough sleep either. *grin* Mum and Dad later surprised me by saying they would follow me back to Perth for CNY. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Nothing much has happened then. I baked Jia Lin's cake. It was yummy!! *grin* Made Mushroom and Cabbage rice a couple of days ago, got ROCH 1998 and am downloading 星锁 now haha. Don't know when it's gonna finish. NO seeds at all! Pfft.

Found the perfect height for my shoulder rest. *grin* So happy! That's a big big achievement. The correct height means my left shoulder doesn't tire as fast. Could play up to an hour just now adding to the half an hour I did earlier before dinner. *grin* Just asked Ying Ning just now which grade I was approximately at (because I was curious) and he said I am around Grade 4 now. *grin* Wheep! That's higher than my piano! Haha, of course, Dad says I'm up to Grade 8 in piano which IMO, is crap. Haha. I took 10 months to master Chopin's Nocturne Op.9 #2. People of true Grade 8 standard don't take that long. Anyway, that's a Grade 7 piece. Also, I've forgotten my scales so how to take exams haha. Violin scales are more fun although I currently find E major and minor very painful to play in the 4th position. My pinky's abit short so the stretch high up on the fingerboard is tiring and painful. *wince*

Tonight, I discovered the timer function on my digital camera and experimented. Here are some results. *grin* Sophia's getting the attention! Although I think Clay pops up somewhere in one of the photos. I'm not too sure haha.
