RAEVILLE

Tuesday, November 29, 2005

I've always had a great appreciation for jazz. I think it's the greatest thing that ever happened to mankind. The beginning of music. The keynote in the history of music. It really hit the Fsharp on my fretboard!

I put in Robbie Williams' Live at the Albert DVD to watch after dinner. It just rekindled my interest in jazz and swing music. I love the little solos of the trumpet or the tenor sax, and the quick beats of the drum kit. Everything fits in so nicely when you listen to great jazz. It feels like you've been brought into the time when the music was originally written. It's beautiful.

I really need to catch up with my sleep. I haven't been sleeping well and in addition to that, I've been quite down with many things. Anne Marie, one of the boarding mistresses told me that I really looked run-down. She could tell from the look on my face. I love Anne Marie. She's so sweet and is forever willing to give hugs.

Tonight, I'll sleep early. The internet is getting really boring. I'm sorry to say that, but it's true. I can't download music or videos. I can't play online games. I can't use the normal MSNim. I can't do many things on the internet here, with all the firewalls around the good stuff. Since there's nothing to do, I'll continue reading Mao's Last Dancer and go to sleep. I found that instead of counting from 1000 down or trying the best to stay awake than go to sleep, deep breathing actually works! I did that last night, and I was asleep in moments.

Only a few days left till I fly home. I'm not too excited about it. It really feels like it's nothing much. I'm just flying back home, once again for a long break. It's not like I don't miss home. It's because I find it's just part of the routine. It's not something new. It's something old and typical and done before.

I'm off now. It's raining heavily and all I want to do is be in my bed with Sam.

Cheers.

RAEVILLE came about some time in the year of 2001. or 2002. it's been so long that i've forgotten already.
it all started here (i doubt the link works anymore though), in a dodgy little blog page. then it moved to here. a year later, and we moved to better things, namely blogspot.

ps. raeville is best viewed on mozilla firefox. just because it's better :)
