However, it scares me to think that my 'O' levels are in just over one year. 8:51 PM posted : Sunday, August 15, 2010 title : HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BLOGGIE!MY BLOG IS NOW ONE MONTH OLD AND I HAVE ABOUT FIFTEEN OR MORE POSTS! 7:47 AM posted : title : Music Project w. Blog From picture above: Baroque Guitars from the Museum Cite De La Musique in Paris, France (which houses almost 200 classical guitars)For the Music project, our group (consisting; Sara Elissa Tcheau, Ng Lee Dea and Christine Tun) decided to do a research on the history of the Spanish Guitar. The reason why we chose to do a research on the history of a Spanish instrument was mainly inspired and influenced by the beautiful geography of Spain as well as the rich history of the country itself.From Cultures of Historical Empires, from La Guitarra Latina to the Spanish GuitarIt is generally assumed that the string instruments emerged from 4000BC from the hunting bow and the sound it produces when shooting. Around 2000BC, the Babylonians frequently made such string instruments, not only in a simple harp or lyre form but even with a solid wooden neck and a primitive sound box of stretched animal skins.Just like the bow, the strings were made of woven plant fibres or animal materials. However, other sources report the 'tar' as a primitive stringed instrument originating from India. 'Tar' means string in Indian-Aryan language, Sanskrit. Considering the size of Babylonian-Assyrian empire, such stringed instruments were distributed over a large area. Also to the Caucasus, where the Hitties further developed the string instrument into a wooden sound box with round shape, a flat top, resonance holes and fret alike bars on the neck. Such instruments appear in rock carving in the Turkish place Alaja Huyuk. Probably the Hitties brought this string instrument to the Greeks whom called it the 'kithara' meaning 'cavity with strings'. Next the Romans took over the kithara of the Greeks, bringing the Roman 'cithara' to Europe. Already around 400AC, the Romans brought their string instruments to Hispania, currently known as Spain. When Spain, in the 16th century, became one of the largest and first global empires in the world history, the Spanish versions of the stringed instruments or the Spanish guitar spread north of Pyrenees. Because of the complicated way of playing, the lute was oppressed by the rise of the guitar from Spain. We chose the Baroque guitar from Spain because we think that it is a very unique kind of guitar and because it is usually used for folk songs, we think that it is very interesting as we think that not many people would be interested in this instrument especially when it has been dated from the BC which shows how old the guitar is. Therefore we are inspired to do this guitar. 4:20 AM posted : Friday, August 13, 2010 title : Fashion Updates. Hello people, it's now August and almost the end of an awesome year, 2010 (almost...). I can't wait for this year's exhibition and clothes at the London Fashion Week and as a result, I just wanted to give you more fashion updates (:This year's Winter/Autumn London Fashion Week exhibition will all be held under one roof on September 17th-21st under the Somerset House from 10 am in the morning to 7pm and 6pm in the evening. From the pictures seen, I think this year's collection from various fashion designers will be really, really cool (they look nice anyway...)I just saw a video clip on Youtube of this year's Summer/Spring Burberry Fashion Week and gosh, I swore I screamed when I saw the coats and jackets for women. Close friends of mine would know that I have always loved the Summer/Spring/Winter/Autumn collections from Burberry and the gorgeous trench coats and the dresses are damn cute. Unforutantely, as much as I want to upload images of this year's collection, the Burberry website has disable right click and the copy and paste button :(Labels: http://www.londonfashionweek.co.uk/ 7:02 AM posted : Sunday, August 8, 2010 title : This is the first time I've ever said this and I can't believe that I am typing it down...But, am I starting to like Korean Dramas? Well, I'm definitely addicted to one Korean drama in particular at the moment and I keep browsing through the internet for spoilers on the next episode. However, I still hate K-POP as always especially SNSD and ermmm...SS501?!XD The guys look super gay, ok? HAHAHA.So, the drama I'm so dreadfully addicted to is King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo. Haha, I admit that when I first found out the name of the drama, I found it really lame and random but it's so addictive and after watching the first episode, I really liked it surprisingly enough so I'm highly recommending all of you to watch it! Moreover, the villian in the movie is so HOT and doesn't look gay at all much that it's so hard to despise him despite being the villian and all. HAHA. 5:51 AM posted : Saturday, July 31, 2010 title : say hello to forever. Today, Miss. Lee told my class that 9 of us failed the class Physics test and I'm super scared that I will be one of those individuals even though I found the test quite average or even perhaps easy but I am still so paranoid, ahhh. Went home and slept like a log for two blissful hours then bathed; I'm trying to log onto Facebook right now but it's so laggy so I don't feel like wasting my time anymore because I really have to study for the CAs or my status on both Twitter and Facebook will be a single word beginning with D:DEAD! 11:04 PM posted : title : Official SALT Trailer - In Theaters 7/23/2010 Ahhh, I want to watch the movie, SALT! 10:55 PM
