Yay. Thanks for waiting! I shall announce tomorrow. Okay, kidding. It's a miracle from God, I can't and won't kide it. SO HERE GOES.
I got my piano exam results back! Guess what? I PASSED!!! Not only did I pass, by the abundant grace of God, I actually got 123. That is, despite all of the terrible obstacles I faced like the lack of time/practice! I hope that is my best, I really dislike the feeling of knowing you can do better for God but not achieving it. I know that I might have done a few marks better if I had started practising earlier. Then again, if I did, I wouldn't have played EVERYDAY for 3 hours consistently for 3.5 months. So I probably did my best for God. No WAIT. SIGHTREADING! I got 12/21 for sightreading. My sightreading has always been bad. I don't practise because I really dislike it. The sightreading, though I did badly, was a wonderful miracle, especially when you see examiner's comments: "You maintained the continuity here, and there was an occasional pulse, but unfortunately the notes were only rarely targetted accurately." When I saw these comments and a last digit of 2, I was thinking, "Ohno, I think... I got 2 for my sightreading." When I lifted my finger, I realised it was a 12. Praise God!!!
I was a little disapointed about the C song I played because I only got 24 for that piece. The examiner said I didn't rubato enough though usually I do (my mum says you must to get marks.) I guess because I was very scared I stiffened and didn't rubato properly. But no matter what, I know that I serve a wonderful, loving God who really cares! I shouldn't be complaining that I don't play as well as Aidi, or I don't have an LRSM with Distinction, because God gave gifts to everyone. The more he gave, the more he expects from us. And these blessings from God are not for us to boast about, but for His glory and the extension of His kingdom.
Anyway, my mum's theory of getting higher marks for the songs you learnt earlier still holds true. I got 26, 25, 24 for the songs I learnt from the longest to the shortest time!!
So guys, God bless, I gotta go sleep! Haven't done homework. Too excited today!
