Went for my piano practical exam yesterday in Hilton Hotel..
There was a technical problem that made the whole examination thing confusing..
My exam starts at 2pm and I reached Hilton at about 12.45pm..( I know..too early, but better be early that to be sorry xD )
One of the hotel worker told us that the exam place ( venue 3 ) is on the 9th floor..So I and dad went to the 9th floor..
And guess what? There wasn't even a single soul ==..
We felt abit awkward but still went to the waiting room and started waiting..

We waited.
Waited..
Waited..
Waited..
And Waited..

And finally at 1.25pm, someone passed by.
We asked her ( the janitor ) whether we were in the right place.. and she told us that the exams are on the 10th floor..@#$%^%$#@

Okay, we kept our cool and went to the 10th floor..
There was only 1 guy there..So we asked him whether we could register.
Guess what he said..
He said : " Sorry sir, yes you are at the right place...But now we're having lunch break..Could be come back at around 2 + "..
I was so freaking annoyed that I said :" My exam is at 2pm " in a rough manner..

Anyway, he said : " Okay...We'll be back at 1.45pm"
So we waited in the waiting room..
Finally 1.45pm "came"..There was still no one else there...
1.50pm, still no body..
1.55pm..ah, they finally came..

Registered quickly and went straight in front of the exam room..
The examiner too quite a long time to settle but my exam finally started at 2.05pm i think..

Went with scales 1st..
Erm, I'd say i can play all the scales but..
I was so friggin' nervous that I played some of it in 3 octaves only..
Anyway, everything was pretty okay..

Then started with my 1st song..
While i was playing..I finally told myself..
Ah, no more nervousness as I was starting to warm up..
BUT at the last part of the piece, I play the wrong chord!!!
It the 1st mistake I've made that that part of the piece and I think I spoiled the whole damn song.. Haihz..

Anyway, went on with the 2nd piece,
Played at the right pace..
Though there are some errors but I think I'm pretty satisfied with it..

Then my 3rd song..
My favorite piece among the 3.
But when it went to the slow part..I made some rhythmic mistakes.
All because of the pedal of that piano..
Its a new piano and the pedal is covered with plastic..
And my leg kept on slipping down from the pedal..
So when I wanted to put my leg up again..There goes my rhythm "flying away"..

Sight reading was so damn hard..
My counting were all mixed up although I could play the notes ==..
Aural test...
Suck as usual..

Hopefully I pass this exam ==..
If not.. Bye bye cert T.T
