A good friend

It was so unexpecting that R asked me whether I was in a relationship when talking on the phone last night. He was so shocked when he heard the word "yes". Indeed R knows my boyfriend G but I know that he always thought that it was G's brother, S, who had a crush on me. Probably it was because S asked me to be his accompanist.

I could feel that R was unhappy when he knew that I have a boyfriend already though he tried very hard to hide his feelings. I could do nothing except for making an excuse to hang up.

I don't know what R would think but I still treat him as a good friend. And I treasure the friendship between us.

New flat

Going to move to the new flat next weekend. I have lived in my current flat for almost 17 years. I am sure that I will miss it very much.

I wonder if I should feel excited to move to the new flat. The new flat is slightly larger and it has a small balcony in which my current flat doesn't have one. The most important thing is that there will be a Steinway grand in the dining room. I have two uprights at home already. My brother and I insist not to sell any one of them. And the grand piano will arrive at Hong Kong soon. There will be three pianos at my new home. Last but not least, I can have my own laptop in my bedroom.

October

To me, October means lots of things to be done. I dare not write down a list because I am afraid that the list will be endless.

25 days till student recital. I have to work hard on the Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody and three accompanying pieces. Besides, there are pretty much homework and tests.

Other students get lazier in October. I arrive at school at around 8:15a.m. every day and I practise piano for a while before the lessons start. Last month, I would find a few students already practising their instruments when I arrived at the practice rooms in the morning. However, starting from October, it is very quiet around the practice rooms in the morning. I become the student that is responsible for turning on the lights in the areas outside practice rooms. With no doubt, it is something good because I don't have to fight for a grand piano with anybody. The most important thing is that no one disturbs me from practice.
