The 'A's are definitely drawing near - the signs are everywhere. This afternoon, instead of being the obedient student and going straight home to mug, I took bus 852 all the way to Yishun Interchange and spent a considerable amount of money on a
Sunset Boulevard CD. In my own defence, it was the world premiere recording and I haven't been able to locate a copy
anywhere for the past 7 months. Most importantly, it's a good musical - a faithful adaptation of Billy Wilder's film with some great music. Anyway, splurging on CDs is fairly typical pre-exam behaviour on my part, along with things like sudden, inexplicable crazes about cars and intelligence agencies.
Also, I can't listen to orchestral music without lapsing into daydreams about violins, even though my efforts (on other people's instruments) so far have been strictly confined to dreadfully off-pitch, halting renditions of classics such
as Merrily We Roll Along and
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
The distractions are becoming ever more multitudinous. Oh
dear.
