        Last Saturday, I went for music lesson. Teacher was like;" Hey Krystal. Let's play the section C exam piece." I was seriously glad because I've been the same song over and over again.

     When I turned the page, my jaws dropped. It was so freaking hard! It has these ridiculous double-stops(My double stops practically sounds like I'm playing demisemiquavers with bows not stable at all... I always forget to actually play two notes at once and always end up playing one string and forgetting the another...) and this weird thingy that you press on the string but then not really presssing (more like touching) and then you play and it produce this eerie sound that sends shivers down your spine.

       Honestly speaking, I don't know how to make that effect.( Not harmonic kind of effect) Something about the bow weight must be precise and the fingers must be placed exactly at the position, crap like that. Mine sounded like a kiddie just started taking up violin lessons and can't even play open strings right. Yeah, that terrible. Teacher got frustrated. Haha. Halfway playing, she looked at me with this evil gleam in her eyes and said :" Krystal, have you been playing like that the whole song? What's with the bow? You're pressing down too hard. No wonder you can't produce that effect. Start all over again." I was like :" what the.. Was I suppose to know how the heck to do that kind of thingy?" Almost cried when she asked me to start all over again.

      The whole lesson was filled with disgusting music that sounds like a chicken's cries when it's gonna get killed. Trust me, it's a horrible experience. Come to think of it, I'd be willing to play the same songs all over again till I rot rather than that horrible song..I thought I was going to have a life after PMR, but after seeing this piece, I'm not too sure anymore.
