I don’t see a point in doing anything that is less than great, and believe that anything ordinary is ordinary however pretty it may be. I don’t think I am great but I will very much like to make myself heard, be noticed.

That means anything normal, not outstanding or special, and without any form of uniqueness is just, um, okay. Not superb, noteworthy.

Moving on, I did practise today. Didn’t sing as much as I would love to, was honestly tired.

Played the two pieces I was suppose to work on. There is this bit of technical shit I refused to do, because I haven’t done it before and am too lazy to explore. Did schradieck, those that I have done before and those that I highlighted. Didn’t work out as well as I will like them too, struck one of the selected exercises off the list. It was way off pitch that it is pointless, may come back to it in a few days.

Fingers are a little tight, especially after kayaking. Guess technique makes the world go round. Didn’t know how to kayak properly and ended up drop-dead exhausted with some pain between my thumb and index, left feet. Manage to pick up a few tips from chongren though, shall attempt the next time I head out to the waters, which is probably on the coming saturday. If I plan to do my five journeys of at least 8km, I better pick up some good skills there.

And so fingers are a little tight. Ended up being highly conscious of how it was tightening and took extra effort to stop to relax them a little. No point aggravating the pain.

Going to work more on it tomorrow. Gotta be at the library to pick up some scores, and that kinda sucks because I am just damn lazy. But work is work.
