Yesterday

I took a train from Sheffield at 10am and arrived in London at 1:15pm yesterday.

I attended a concert by Yundi Li with the Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall. I was sitting at the Row H 22.

Yundi played the Greig's  Piano Concerto in A minor. I really enjoyed it with its powerful and lyrical melodies. It's a really a shock to me coz I have never been so closed to listen to his playing.

There was a lecturer in mathematics sitting on my right hand side and a Japanese women sitting on my left hand side. She was lucky that being able to get the autograph of and photo with Yundi Li.

The Holst was also great and hilarious. The last movement of it was really intriguing with the voice of the ladies choir. I felt like I was out of this planet and embarked on a mysterious trip in the space!

After the concert, I went to Japan Centre in Piccadily to buy books and food stuffs. Around 7pm, I had a dinner at a Korean restaurant in China Town. Then, took a train at 9:30pm going back to Sheffield.

Today, I went to the JET programme talk at 1pm in Arts Tower. At 3pm, I was having a private Japanese class with my new sensei. I really enjoyed it coz 99% of the converstation was conducted in Japanese and I didn't realize I can understand it. However, I didn't know that I fogot so many basic Japanese words...

Practice makes Perfect is always true!
