Whatever the situation was.. I was always able to draw.
I am not exceptionally sick this time. I'm not dying from some terminal illness.
I am not coughing so hard that I can't hold a pencil (or the tablet pen).
In fact, I'm sitting here, coughing and trying to stuff my nose but otherwise, perfectly fine.
Yet, I'm staring at a blank paper (digital paper) trying to get my brain out.
I've never been in a slump before. Hello, slump.
I was re-reading all the piano examiner's remarks.
My sight-reading really sucked until around grade 6.
Grade 5: It kept going, but had some misreadings, ended in a minor chord instead of major. The key was established - pulse regular. Try to include dynamics.
(Not a good remark. To end in a wrong key, I remember how I felt.. I went "Oh shit")
Grade 6: A fluent reading with a good level of accuracy.
(Hallelujah, Jesus)
Then, I realised something VERY upsetting.
Where are my certificates for my piano exam grade 6-8?
Then I started reading my kindergarten teacher's remarks about me.
I got an "Always" for mixing well with others, ability to share, pleasant, considerate, helpful, apologetic, co-operative, responsible, neat and tidy, eager to learn and careful in nature.
How much things have changed, huh?
And what's funny is I seemed to have done the worst in Music and Arts and Craft and these days, that's ALL I do. I did get an 'excellent' in dancing, though.
