12/11/2020

Before the end of the day, I am sitting on the sofa, listening to Christmas songs with the fire crackling sound, communicating to myself. I feel so good.

It is such a happy day, I finished conducting a lesson with Mr. Robert, and he said I improved so much since the first time he saw me (during the workshop held by Mr. Eric). He asked if I am aware of my own progress, I said yes, a bit. But he said: not just a bit. It's a huge step. We work together for around 3 months, and I never imagine I can improve by leaps and bounce in such a short period. 

The second thing is, I finally can move on to another movement of Holst's first suite. He asked me to give a kiss to the first movement because I am saying goodbye to it now, although I need to revisit it sometimes. HAHA.

Everyone is saying 2020 is such a bad year. To apply the knowledge I've just learned from the Chinese Popular Culture course when something bad is happening, there'll be a good thing as well, that's why Yin and Yang are here. They are here to balance out the universe.

To sum up, all the good things happen in this year, 2020, I started learning Hiragana in March due to MCO lockdown, I started to meditate, start teaching private students, I met wonderful kids from all over the world like Korean, Japan, Dubai, Kuwait, Taiwan, and China, not to mention our local students. From ages 3 to 20, I learned so much from each of them and couldn't be more blessed to be trusted by the parents and able to share my knowledge and love with them. Next, I got to be a recitalist (which is one of my goals), meaning I am able to have my graduation recital. Due to the diseases, I started to conduct virtual violin lessons and thank all the international students, I have the opportunity to speak English and that really helps a lot, I improved a lot! Then, the happiest and blessed in 2020, I was chosen by Mr. Robert Ambrose to be his student, and I met new friends Ellie from the USA. I got no words to describe how grateful I am, but I really do. Conducting has always been my passion and in 2020, I am one step closer to my dream. 

In the last 50 days of 2020, I would like to challenge myself that:

1. Love me more, invest in myself.

2. Read more books.

3. Practice.

4. Earn more money.

It's 12.01 now, hello Friday. I wish all of you to stay healthily, happily, and peacefully. xoxo.
