P

The preparation certainly paid off.

Not to mention the silent prayers to the forces high above.

I passed my piano exam! 

Honestly, the preparation up to the exam date was hell. Not knowing what to expect and not really the most diligent of all students ( my practise sessions on the scale was erratic), I was expecting the worse after the 15minute (darn fast) exam came to a close.

I was a bundle of frazzled nerves on my exam day and no matter how I tried to calm myself, I was still fidgeting like mad when I reached the venue while waiting for my turn.

The good:
My exam was in the late afternoon (I was the last candidate) meaning I had precious time in the morning and afternoon to rehearse.

My examiner was a friendly ang moh lady who sweetly allowed me to repeat my scale test when I stumbled a lil in the begining.

The scale + aural + sightreading pieces was easier than expected.

The bad:
I totally screwed up my second exam piano piece.

You can practically hear my trembling notes in the begining. 

I had nightmares of blanking out infront of the piano during the exam.

The aural was a torture for I wasn't 100% sure that I nailed it.

Never been glader to see the P word.
