On this day, I posted once in 2010: "Nervous Butterflies"

Okay... oh. Piano exam stuff. I don't know which one was that but... 

I was supposed to take ABRSM G8 last year (or this year) but after my teacher stopped teaching me (end 2018-2019), I sort of... don't think about it [for] now. I had a disastrous G7 exam experience (I did so badly) but I [actually] ended up barely passing the practical exam. To this day, I haven't opened the result envelope. I was pretty sure I failed. I only knew I passed when I was asked to retrieve my certificate. 

Gloomy stuff aside...

I'm not there yet. That level... where you can play what you just listened (or is listening!).... it's out of my league. I can't even memorize well... I will always need music sheets. Sigh. I think it's nice to be good at playing by ears. & also... songwriting. Haha. I'm tempted to tell my teacher : "Let's compose a song."

11 years later, I can say that I'm kind of still at that same level... but I believe that I've matured at some parts. I actually can do it if I put more efforts into it. I can learn stuff by myself and by my own pace.  

"Then, why don't you do it?"

Unfortunately, I have multiple interests and hobbies :D and I move between them according to my mood(s) at that time. I'm a super easily distracted person with fear of getting bored of things... I don't do well with commitments :P. This reminds me of the books I've been reading this year - the theme jumps around so randomly. I just pick out any books I want to read at that moment.

I finished knitting this headband yesterday! Managed to take photos before giving it to my sister. I'm probably going to spend my time doing headbands and maybe (BIG maybe) try knitting a beanie while I wait for 2nd haramaki's extra yarns.

This shouldn't take a month (probably a few days if I do like 4 repeats of the pattern everyday).. but I can't stand doing the repeats lol. Now that I pretty much has memorised it I can just knit it while watching stuff on Youtube.
