this is the third day i have not stepped out of my house... things are getting somewhat mundane. i can count what i have been doing at home with my hands:

eat
sleep
tv
com
cello
books
qt
bathe

yeah that's it. how exciting. haha. cant wait for the weekend to come. or rather for tmr (: then i'll have work, dental, retreat and work. i'm bored :S and there's smth wrong with my wrist. i want to talk to my pacey! pfft. it's been really hot for the past few days.

i've been working hard at this new piece i got last week, KOL NIDREI. it's a 20th century piece but sounds quite nice, and yesterday i was so intent on getting the second page right that i was hooked on my cello for almost 2 hours. and i had reference from youtube somemore. now the piece randomly plays in my head. my fingers turned quite black from all the shiftings on the fingerboard. but it was good practice (: somewhat of a challenge but i know that i have to go beyond the notes to the deeper emotions of the piece. aye why do i struggle so much with that? :S

today, i just finished a book i borrowed from chrystal, titled 'UGLY' by constance briscoe. it's such a hurtful story and makes one think about how fortunate we are to come from decent backgrounds when the author as a young girl went thru so much on her own, how she persevered and made it in life. i really admire her fighting spirit and her will to live on (:
