Hi all... Have loads of things to post about, maybe 4 posts worth so I'll just take my time with all of that.
Shall start with all the random things that I've been up to this week. Don't mind me putting all of it in point form.
1. Music Theory
Have been teaching Sherman the essential portions of theory for the grade 5 level. Pretty glad I could still remember... Made me remember the heart and soul I put into my music. I excelled more in theory than practical, and I'm glad its translated into something useful I can do for others. Years of learning Augmented 5ths, Appoggiaturas, Italian terms and Compound duple time have come into use...
2. Rapunzel
A wonderful movie... Typical Disney plot arrangement, but had an extremely powerful climax scene that sealed everything into a nice package. Couldn't really appreciate the songs, but I suppose it creates an element of Disney-ness. Its the kind of movie you'd take your significant other to... But then the reality hits you: relationships aren't ever that perfect unfortunately. Despite that I enjoyed it thoroughly... Appreciate animated movies better than acted movies personally.
3. Soccer
Singapore's defeat at the hands of Vietnam was really horrible to watch... Actually even the previous matches were all pretty difficult to stomach. From the standpoint of a Singaporean and someone who really believed that Singapore had the technical ability to be able to make it far in the tournament, it was utterly disappointing.
The first match against the Philippines we scored fortuitously against the run of play, but ended up drawing, the second we had so many chances against Myanmar but could never capitalize until the end, and the Vietnam game we could never build up any momentum due to sloppy passing, or perhaps a lack of composure.
What an awful campaign. Seems like teams around the region are improving well though. Had high hopes for our team...
That's all for this post. More to come.
