A Moment spent alone doing something I Enjoyed

  I had a boring day today. In the morning I had school which ended at 2.15pm. I a plate of vegetarian food which tasted horrendous. I forgot that the hot dog they served was also vegetarian. It was appealing on the outside which was why I ordered it. After that, I did my homework in school with some of my classmates and got home about 5.15pm. Upon reaching home, I changed and went out for dinner with my family. We ate a simple meal and looked around for groceries in the supermarket. After all that, we went home.

  The moment I went home, I rushed to the computer and pressed the "on" button. I sat in front of the computer and waited while it was loading. It was so unfortunate. The computer crashed while loading. My excitement was all for nothing. I decided to practice playing my erhu, which is the instrument I play in the VS Chinese Orchestra. I started of with pratising the grade 4 songs as I had just finished my grade 3 examinations the year before. The song was not too tough but my teacher wanted me to memorise it. I had to do push-ups if I made one mistake while playing the song. I put all my heart into practice that even when my mum told me to pack my bag, I could not hear her. When I was done with the song, I practice the SYF songs and the Chinese New Yeaar songs as I was going to perform all those songs.

  Actually, when I think of it, I remember the time when I started of as a newbie. I had totally no interest in playing the erhu and was too lazy too practice. Often, I would get scolded badly for not practising. I also did not do very well for the grade 3 examinations as compared to my other friends. That is why I started to practice harder this year. Also, my interests toward playing the erhu and music has gorwn a lot since last year. I hope I can do well for this year's grade 5 examintions.
