bell peppers.

Anyway. I don't like bell peppers, but I have to concede that they're actually quite tasty when severely overcooked. And yes, different colour peppers really do taste different. My favourite are yellow, followed by red. I don't like the green ones at all. They have this really fresh (in a bad way) taste.

These two days have been marked by amazing progress for the finest cello-piano duo in NAFA. Yesterday, my brain nearly exploded when I read through the Elgar concerto and the Saint-Saens first concerto from start to end. Both rather irritating pieces, I have to say.

Today we plowed through the whole of the Saint-Saens concerto (princess sight-reading the piano part), and it was actually surprisingly better than it might have been. She liked the piece too. Maybe I'll do this piece next year?

The most amazing thing that happened to me today, though, was that I took a short nap (about 25 minutes) during individual practice, and when I got up to continue practising, my sound became so powerful it was unreal. Princess said she could hear my every note - and she was two studios away. I think it was because when I just woke up, my body was almost completely relaxed - something which is almost impossible to consciously control. Maybe I can incorporate meditation into my practice routine?

At night, we shared a mango ice from Ice Monster (tastes great, but ridiculously expensive). T'was my idea. A bit of fruit does the princess some good. When we reached her house, her mum brought me in and gave me a bit of green bean soup. Yum! A nice little reward for escorting our dear little one to her doorstep.

Who can take care of you, outside your home, better than I do?

And when I reached home, I found a sweet little email that princess had left inside my inbox, which brightened my day to no end.

I love you too.

I thank God for this wonderful day! =D
