Boomo all the way from eleven. We're addicted, only resting for a movie (shown on channel 8), lunch, and ice cream beside the "drain".It's long since we last had a gathering, probably 4 months or so, but every time we meet, it's as if we've never parted. That's the good thing about old friends - they're always there. =)
While planning where to go for holidays in the november-december holiday, digressing at every 10 seconds interval about how sucky the chinese tests are nowadays or how early we have to wake up everyday to go for school, we realised that we might not enjoy each other's company for long anymore. With two of us in j1, two in sec4, one in sec3 and one in sec2 currently, we're going to part no later than next year end, when the current J1s would have to advance to university and NS. After which, more and more of us will leave, and 4 years from now, we may be spread all over the world. So it's important we go somewhere together this year - it may be our last chance. And no adults allowed. =)
=====
movie on channel 8 [gen1 ni3 zai4 yi4 qi3] left me touched/inspired/motivated yet again after 3 times. The movie title seems to suggest that it's a sappy, love drooling snoggish soap, but it's actually about a father's selfless love towards his adopted son who he picked up from the train station together with a violin, nurturing him despite all odds into a great violinist using his meagre income.
Apart from being tear-inducing in its moving father-son love and sacrifices they made for each other, the movie explores also on the difference between the pursue of true Art and that of success. Art is in its purest form when it is not associated with fame, acclaim or money. It is a form of expression, and only when injected with feelings it can come alive. Play for the sake of playing, or play for the sake of showing will not produce music that's meaningful to anyone.
Like what the violin teacher said in the movie:
"Every note is correct, but there's no music."
Something that always happen during my dizi lessons. I bet many others who learn music, ones who are much better than me in terms of skills, are guilty of this too. So don't try your best to do well, but put your heart into it. Give the music a soul.
