Crazy day today. Felt and behaved a bit vindictively. However, people have been taking advantage of princess's soft heart and inability to say no, so it's up to me to mark them for extermination give them a piece of my mind, Antonio-style.

Someone asked her to sight-read the fourth movement of the Trout quintet because their pianist couldn't make it for performance class. I was pretty angry when she was frantically sight-reading it through lunch hour, when I wanted to eat with her - basically just to make sure she didn't neglect her meals.

When I finally managed to pull her out for a quick kiss lunch of noodles and dumplings at 130 (her next class was at 2), I was very angry and told her I wanted her to refuse. I had two reasons for doing so:

1. She WILL get scolded, because it's not like VH cares if she's sightreading. Of course, her sensitive soul won't be able to take it.

2. I don't want VH to have a negative impression of her which she doesn't deserve. Next time when I take her onstage, he might nitpick on her.

By and by, she asked me to ask him whether it was ok if they went on without a pianist. I called and he didn't pick up, so I smsed him:

'Later you guys are going on without a pianist. See ya.'

A tad more forceful than she'd have liked, of course. But I think she was secretly glad her prince charming saved her from impending disaster. No one deserves to waste their lunch hour frantically sight-reading and then get ripped to shreds. I told her it was God's test for her to stand up for herself, and she just failed it.

...

After performance class, princess wanted to go to Esplanade to look for information, so we converted the afternoon into a homework date, our first since... I can't remember when. I only remember we've scrapped plans for at least two dates so far. We went to Max Brenner's for chocolate before starting work. The Whipped Granite choctail (dark chocolate, $8.90) was mildly disappointing, while the Mocca (also with dark chocolate, $6.90) contained very little coffee, but just enough to give the flavour more breadth.

We edited viva voce notes and scrounged for magazine articles in the much-revamped Esplanade library, but before we knew it it was 6 plus and we headed back to school because I had Chinese ensemble rehearsal, whereupon princess plonked in a studio to practise and I spent two merry hours making fun of the conductor rehearsing.

After rehearsal, I went to find princess and threw someone out of the room for disturbing her went home together with her. I usually send her to the MRT gate, but today I ended up taking the MRT with her, then taking the LRT with her, then finally sending her to her doorstep. Shows how little willpower I have how much I love her.

Wrap up time. PS and Theory await.

COFFEE...
