today i woke up early, at 7:58am. My yoga teacher was very kind that she offered to pick me up to her house from my apartment to her house for group meditation. I had three meditation sittings about two weekends ago, when all these great masters came over from dallas, and so she thought I should start going to group meditation to not waste the sittings.
Ok so we started off with some cleaning before we started the actual meditation.
There was this Indian doctor sitting opposite to me..
so people all left, except me, this other lady, my teacher and this indian doctor, my teacher said she wants to show us a film next sunday, then this indian doctor said he would like to talk about some things next sunday, to share his feelings and experiences with meditation, he thinks some people still dont get it, suddenly he pointed at me, and said like you and the lady next to you, i feel something is going on....i am not talking about her, and her.. ( he was pointing at the seats where two other people sat), but her and this person next to her ( he was pointing at me and the seat beside me)..something is blocking u, u have no idea, there were many questions....i was a little bit surprised, I was just writing on the notepad (everyone got to write on our little note book after each group meditation)...I wrote: this is my first group meditation, dont know why so many things that i didnt expect at all just entered my mind... (Was that a subconscious thing)...obviously i was being very honest with myself when i wrote that instead of saying how i did achieve the state and felt the 'nothing'...now that this doctor was saying that...i have nothing to say of course. My teacher said...yes it is hard isnt it, yes I think "it is hard to be simple,"...I have always wanted a simpler life...
Now that I am playing Mozart, it is soo difficult because it is very simple...it should sound simple at least (no matter how difficult it actually is)...the notes are so simple that a tiny little mistake will throw u off
Then I met with my Japanese teacher for lunch. We decided to do hot pot, i learnt a whole bunch of stuff today,
i learnt everything that i saw:
rice, mee, fish, vege, squid, (and I remember water from risa), soup, clam, shrimp....bag, sun, phone, money (okane)
Review:
Please go ahead and eat
how much is this/that
this is (very) yummy/tasty/delicious
this is fun
that was (very) fun
new phrases/ sentences:
I like rice
I like mee...etc...I learn how to connect them when I am liking more than one thing...so I like rice, fish, vege, shrimp, mee, and soup
Do you like fish?
I am still hungry
Are you full
not really/ so so (mama)
drink it
there is still mee inside
no thanks = no thats enough (kekkoudesu)
yes please (um, Onegai shimasu)
I am happy (shiawase) today
A joke:
I asked him why he msg me "yokatta" that day after i answered sth, wasnt that "afternoon"? Oh maybe he wanted to help me to review the word, but how did he know that I learnt 'afternoon' since I dont remember telling him that ..he was like...what? OH....the truth is...afternoon should be yuugata...uhuh! haha i mixed them up, but no one really told me what yokatta was before, good that i asked..they were so similar anyway
Something funny:
I passed him a stack of napkins, and he wrote some Japanese words on the napkins so that I can remember them better, I got them back...I flip and flip..weird..where is the one with words (there was one that we wrote on)..he said, "Magic" I thought he was kidding, so I kept flipping them, and then he said: no I am serious it was magic!" I looked at him and said: "U ..know magic?"
"Yeah I learnt it before"
"Oh WOW"
"But..I forgot how to bring it back.."
"WhAT?"
"I am sorry I forgot how to..." and he didnt look like he was joking because he seemed a little bit embarrassed
"u remember how to make something disappear but u forgot how to get it back? interesting..." I have to try hard not to laugh
"Next time I will show you some more magic"....
.."But where is it?" I am still very concerned about missing napkin
We started to look around
Finally, I found it on the floor under his chair !.!>!>

kanashimi
i promised myself to sleep early today, cuz tomorrow is so important for me, cant explain why now, i have to do my best for the lesson tomorrow. BUT something came up, i cant sleep, thats why i am here
u r leaving, i know that, leaving for good? r u kidding? ....u like to joke so much, why isnt this a joke this time?
bad bad timing
(ok because I cant sleep, and it is a waste of time anyway I decide to go to school now even though it is probably close now)
Before I walked out the gate, I figured that I forgot to bring my wallet...do i even need that? yes because i would need my gate card to come back in, so I went back home and came out again. This time I bumped into the same Japanese friend who was running. He asked where I was going I said to school, he offered to walk me to music school. Even though I wanted to walk alone and I felt that this may not be a good time to meet/talk with people I didn’t say no, that would be rude….but then later on maybe he could sense something, probably because I was very different and didn’t really talk, he said if I felt like walking alone he could leave me alone
“I just feel sad cuz one of my friends is leaving, and I just knew about it”
“Sorry I am so different today”
I don’t really remember what I said, just remember that I did most of the talking, I guess it was sth like talking to myself, I don’t even know if he understood what I said
“Do you ever feel sad?” Suddenly I was curious, cuz a person like him, who has almost the same routine everyday, probably does pretty much the same thing everyday,..just a very disciplined life in short, probably meeting the same people everyday…..maybe a simple life like this has very little ups and down
“Of course” (I knew of course he must have..and I knew it was a stupid question even before I asked)
“Like today, I didn’t do as well as I wanted to in my exam…” (Oh it was about self achievement…wonder how about other thigns like r’ship with people or emotions…)
The school was not open I decided to turn back, I thought ..ok why not make full use of the time and make myself happier, so I started to ask ok whats the word for the day, he looked around and said, how about light, while he pointed at the lamp-post on top of us (oh…ok sure…never expected that). Then I remembered how he told me how to say “how much is this” earlier in a restaurant, So I said in Japanese, “this is light”…He pointed at another lamp post which is further, and said “that is light”…Oh so “XXX means that…”….
Then we learnt “we are walking” and stupid things like “I am human”, and gradually come into a conversation in Japanese:
”Oh of course you are”
“and …You are human too”
“yeah you are right”
“Really? I am rite?”
“yes…”
………
……….
…………
We walked past the gate, now by the pool, suddenly I asked in English: How do you say I am sad?
“Watashi wa kanashi desu”
He asked: “Nande?”
I said, “because you are leaving. How do you say that?”…
Ok, so:
To you, dear friend:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kon ya wa (tonight)
Watashi wa Kanashi desu ( I am sad)
Nazenaraba (because)
Anata wa Kae-tte shimau (You are leaving)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I feel that I should say something to him too, cuz he is a little bit sad too
So I requested to learn this;
Kanashima naide (Don’t be sad)
Kondo wa kitto umaku ikimasu (You will do well next time)
Ganbatte!!! (I added this)
“Hontouni Arigatou” (thank you so much)
“Dou itashimashite” (You’re welcome)
“Anata kara takusan manabimashita ( I learnt a lot from you)
“Hontouni Arigatou”
“Dou itashimashite”
“Watashi wa kaerimasu” (I am going back)
“Wastashi wa Nemurimasu” (I am going back to sleep)
“Oyasumi”
“Oyasumi”

a star
Today, I was supposed to meet with my piano student earlier in the afternoon. She (and maybe her dad) became my first student(s) here in Oklahoma and today would be the first piano lesson I gave in OKC so I was pretty excited about it. I had like 7 students in Wisconsin but I didn’t really teach in my first year here. His dad called me last minute and said that his daughter had to take an exam and asked if we could do later in the evening… I went to school, bumped into Satoshi, whom I just met last Friday, he was a new graduate student from Japan. He knew I just started to learn Japanese. He asked how’s my learning going? I said, oh I just learnt .."night" yesterday. He said, Yuugata! "What?" "it means afternoon" "oh thank you, I have to go…."
Later I came out from the music school, wanted to go back for food, bumped into him again, same place, he was outside the library. I saw so many ppl walking in and out from the cafeteria so I went in to check out. Wow there was food right OUTSIDE the cafeteria (tables were set up and it was very crowded), I asked one of the people who served food there what was that about , she said...just free food...so I thought to inform satoshi about that since he was telling me that he couldnt cook in the uni dorm at all, he wasnt outside the library, so i went into the library and grabbed him...he told me..."hon" (=books) when we walked past the bookshelf. ok so today i learnt two words
进去不久却看见一个人在拉小提琴， 在cafeteria 别人的餐桌旁拉小提琴？ 这个人是怎么回事，在这么吵的状况下还拉得那么开心。 我门拿了食物后选了个位置， 我一直往那里看，忽然间想到， 他该不是那个我一直想认识的。。。kyle 吧， 第一次听到她是从贝的口中， 她说他有一个朋友， 跟她合作过， 很爱玩即兴，觉得我们有相同的兴趣 应该约出来介绍我认识。。听了关于他好多东西，我也一直都想找个小提琴家合作一些现代的音乐， 编曲或即兴之类。。。 终于有一天在一个作曲家的发表会上看到他演奏，看到节目表上写kyle, 那整个演奏会很震撼， 他的表演更是其中一个很大的贡献。。演奏会完毕我想过去道贺， 不知道怎么的我跟作曲家与其他的主要的表演者道贺了就是没有机会跟他说话， 好像是太多人走去找他而我又赶时间。 今天， 我忽然觉得现在这个人有可能是他， 身形很象， 不知道哪来的胆子 在他拉完一曲后， 我走过去，他一转过身看到我就很热情的拥着， 我想他大概是把我误 以为是一个他认识却不记得的fans。 因为我很肯定他不认识我， 所以我有点被吓到，我说。。。excuse me ..r u。。 kyle? "YES"..."OH I have heard so much about you....." "..........." "................".................. "oh thank you so much for approaching me, where do you sit let me come play for you.."结果他真的走向我门那一桌， 我们刚好坐在角落，桌与桌之间的空间小到不行，他就在那个很狭小的缝里拉起来，我还没那么近距离看一个人拉过琴，基本上整个乐器就在我眼睛旁边没有几公分的距离， 看着怕演奏者会 不自在， 不看也不是， 一曲 后又一曲，近距离看只觉得技巧很吓人， 而且他实在是太自然了， 纵使那么靠近观众， 然后他蹲下来跟我与satoshi 说话， 因为他站的位置小到没办法放张椅子...他听到satoshi 从日本来就说什么上过日本的哪一个电视台什么的， 惊叹的表情忽然间在satoshi 的脸上出现， 后来他才告诉我说那是日本最大的电视台。。。更让我惊讶的是，我还以为他还搞不太清楚马来西亚在哪里 的时候， 他说他到过那里好多次了。。我看他飞吗来西亚的次数比我还多。。他说他被邀请表演给我门的苏丹（就是我们国家宫廷里的皇族）。。这。。。感觉上我门就象看到大明星一样， 可是他一点架子都没有， 还拿出卡片， 我门请他签名， 我问他有没有在什么地方表演他说每个星期四在kamps 希望我门有时间可以去看看， 后来我准备跟satoshi 离开他刚好走过来跟我说话， 我坐回去， 聊了好一阵子， 聊 到一半 又 坐着拉了一首啊拉伯 乐曲， 说道我以前编过一个马来西亚民谣给以前我在wisconsin-madison 的乐团他忽然见拉起我门最有名的一个民谣还才唱起来。。。rasa sayang eh, 我刚感冒好没什么声音可是还是跟着一起唱了一点。。天啊他真的什么都会也。。他也很友善， 知道我暑假要到boston 和纽约去参加一些音乐活动，他说走前可以 get together， 我说贝之前有想过找他可是觉得他应该很忙， 到处飞到处演奏， 他说是没错可是呆在oklahoma 的时间也不少。。。哦对了聊 到一半 我看到了一个象我门学校president的人站起来准备离开，我说， 哦that is our president...他说哦have u met Tom? " I ...", 他忽然间 就这样子喊‘tom!。。” 他没有听到继续走， 我还来不及阻止kyle 他又再叫了一下， 他回头， 我吓到， kyle 带我走过去介绍说"have u met yl?" president 也很友善跟我握手说话， "she is a pianist."..' Oh I think I have seen you before...i saw you play.." 他想不起来哪一次， 我想可能他大概听kyle说我弹琴 就想到可能有见过我。。。’very talented.." 走前他有些激动地搭着kyle 对我说: 不管别人认不认同, kyle is the best student OCU ever produced....
oops, i almost forgot about my student because of all that, i better left..。。
what an interesting day today, it was like meeting a star...我比较可以理解歌迷疯狂于偶像的感觉了，i hardly felt that kinda excitement on many things (or people) that many people might be crazy about, but i think when it comes to musicians whom I like i would be so excited to meet and talk with them

咖啡
i thought i would have a long intro. about blog, but no, no intro this time
今天心血来潮拿出咖啡色的外套，穿上出门，手插口袋，摸到一个感觉好熟习毛毛的东西，忽然间很高兴，觉得可能是它回来了，果然是我咖啡色绑头发用的圈圈没错。 好久不见，你回来了，原来你在这里，一定是我之前因为穿上咖啡色外套所以配上了咖啡色发圈... 我在等我的手表。。学生证。。你门什么时候回来
今天第一次在oklahoma 煮给那么多人吃
今天回家9点半，本来要练琴，结果遇到一个小学朋友，聊得正起劲，我说我要去练琴，就讲到钢琴这乐器，然后他说他想学爵士， 从那时候起就停不下来，讲到jazz club....jazz in m'sia..in australia.......后来又被问我毕业后要干嘛，最近好多人问。。。。最后我说我对business 也有兴趣，在马来西亚开个爵士餐厅 (应该是前所未有）？ （什么？？？没有啦，只是想到吃就想到这个。。。）
然后聊完，哦11点了，还要去吗，觉得还是不行，忽然间很坚决的穿上咖啡外套就出门了
经过我一个japanese conversation partner 的apartment, 想 到我该回个电话约时间，说好每个星期见一次，这几天他可以的时间我刚好都不行，今天临时决定要煮所以又不行，觉得不好意思还是道个谦好了，站在他的窗外，记得他说过这是我的APARTMENT， 你随时有事拿东西丢我窗口叫我，看到他灯还亮， 想说这个时候他不是应该在跑步吗，我找不到什么东西丢，打了通电话，说我就在你家门外要不要出来谈，他刚好要出去跑步， 请我等一下，我向泳池走去，风迎面吹来，真不错， 很舒服，忘了自己还在感冒，他出来我向他道歉并交代好后就说你可以开始跑了，结果我们用走的向音乐馆走去，他说他还有很多时间可以跑没关系，我说你真的每天都一定要跑吗？一天不跑不行？他说不行，一定要，他从8岁就开始MARTIAL ARTS, 从那时候起就好像注定似的，离不开，我说可是跑步又不是MARTIAL ARTS,
他一本正经的说，it is like the same, but i do it in my mind when i am running, it is hard to explain..i cannot stop, it makes me feel good, makes me confident..
我 ： i wish i can be like u, that kind of discipline, that kind of voice in mind that tells u that u cannot stop, u have to, u must...（i was thinking about practising obviously) how sad, i always need to have someone pushing me (i was thinking about how i still needed my teacher to push me..), but... u shouldnt be fear of stopping anything
他： i feel confident from the training ..so i cant stop, but i think u have the confidence..
我：。。。。(really? am I a confident person? what makes u think that)
...............
我：ok i have to learn a word everytime
他：what do you want to learn,
我: what about ...night?
他： 哦。。yoru
觉得有点冷，我就用日语说‘冷’，问他说要怎么说， it is cold here....
this meeting is good, i learnt sth, it is saving both our time, because we both were walking for our own purpose, i was walking towards practise room, he was walking towards his "running track"
Motivation for the day:
他每天一定要跑步的定力，加强了我每天也要练琴的定力, so i did, which brings today to an end
good nite

back to two days ago
5/25 (friday)
morning, I woke up early, I had to be in a film, our school is making a feature film this summer. The director of this feature film talked to me in the film festival at OCU earlier this semester, trying to promote this film class in which we not only can get credits but we can become part of the film crew. That time he probably didnt know I was participating in the film festival, he just knew I was a pianist. Some time later, we met in the music school, he told me that he liked the documentary that I made that was shown in the film fest and then he asked me if I could be the organist in one of the scenes of this feature film.
So today was the day. There was a big delay...I know how film works when I was in a film production class in Wisconsin...so I could kinda understand..u just had to spend so much time on everything...
I met this Japanese student called Satoshi..Interesting, I was complaining about not seeing a lot of Japanese students here at OKCU because I really wanted to learn Japanese, I even requested for a Japanese roommate before I moved in here, they told me that there arent a lot of japanese students in this school...but lately, it just so happened that I met a lot of Japanese, or I should say, got to know a lot of them better....one just left (yoshi)..
even though it took much time than expected, good thing was that they basically drove me everywhere with that little golf car (sorry dont know what that should be called, but it just reminded me of the golf cars people use to travel around the golf field), and I got to join them for lunch..it was a good one! and then they drove me back even though it was such a short distance
Later bei came and brought me whole bunch medicine and even some chinese herbs and tea...that was sweet of her..she is leaving too in couple days
evening, I had dinner in ken's place..zeus was the cook! i heard he was good so i thought i should really go try it ....wow a lot of people, kinda surprised, stella made me ginger tea for me to help me recover, that was very kind of her, people were shocked by my 'sexy' voice..
Then we went to watched "Pirates". That night was the first showing..I think this was my first time ever going for 首映，basically it means more people= more cars= no parking= have to go early and..more expensive . we were the last car who reached, it was pretty full, we ended up have to sit separately from the group . I love the movie. It got pretty cold, I kept coughing
5/27 （Sun)
I didnt go to dallas today, mainly because I wasnt feeling well and it was probably not suitable for me to have a long trip, plus I wouldnt be able to eat all the good food....esp seafood!!! ah..
I had lunch with zeus instead, he is leaving monday! I promised to treat him before he left because he did me a great favor by bringing my computer all the way to washington to see if it can be saved...my computer was sick..since it was hard to find a time that works for him, I decided to cancel my plan of going to church and the meeting with my japanese conversation partner...he was late though!!! haha but it was ok, he was the 'big person' of the day..we went to a jazz restaurant, he told me that he liked jazz so i thought i should bring him to the place before he leaves here, plus that is the only place that has live jazz music in sunday afternoon..Issei, shy, hal who were jazz musicians were all there either playing or hanging out, kinda surprised, they came talk to me one by one..was a little bit surprised cuz shy never really came talk to me before i think, and he said they would play ballad because i liked it as i mentioned in facebook....they played "someday my prince will come", my favourite tune...reminded me of my jazz teacher, it so happened that everytime I went to see my teacher play he would play this tune
after that we went to check out paseo, a place I heard from yaniv who highly recommended it, never been there, zeus did though, i was telling him about places that he had to go before leaving OK, later he found out that he had been there before, it so happened that they have art festival today, so i thought this might be the good time to take a look, though i know i should be back to school to practise. It was basically like a street...with a lot of booths outside...we tested some wine in the booth that offers wine testing.....cant imagine that i felt a little bit headache later even just a tiny bit....he was like...what? haha

morning, I woke up early, I had to be in a film, our school is making a feature film this summer. The director of this feature film talked to me in the film festival at OCU earlier this semester, trying to promote this film class in which we not only can get credits but we can become part of the film crew. That time he probably didnt know I was participating in the film festival, he just knew I was a pianist. Some time later, we met in the music school, he told me that he liked the documentary that I made that was shown in the film fest and then he asked me if I could be the organist in one of the scenes of this feature film.
So today was the day. There was a big delay...I know how film works when I was in a film production class in Wisconsin...so I could kinda understand..u just had to spend so much time on everything...
I met this Japanese student called Satoshi..Interesting, I was complaining about not seeing a lot of Japanese students here at OKCU because I really wanted to learn Japanese, I even requested for a Japanese roommate before I moved in here, they told me that there arent a lot of japanese students in this school...but lately, it just so happened that I met a lot of Japanese, or I should say, got to know a lot of them better....one just left (yoshi)..
even though it took much time than expected, good thing was that they basically drove me everywhere with that little golf car (sorry dont know what that should be called, but it just reminded me of the golf cars people use to travel around the golf field), and I got to join them for lunch..it was a good one! and then they drove me back even though it was such a short distance
Later bei came and brought me whole bunch medicine and even some chinese herbs and tea...that was sweet of her..she is leaving too in couple days
evening, I had dinner in ken's place..zeus was the cook! i heard he was good so i thought i should really go try it ....wow a lot of people, kinda surprised, stella made me ginger tea for me to help me recover, that was very kind of her, people were shocked by my 'sexy' voice..
Then we went to watched "Pirates". That night was the first showing..I think this was my first time ever going for 首映，basically it means more people= more cars= no parking= have to go early and..more expensive . we were the last car who reached, it was pretty full, we ended up have to sit separately from the group . I love the movie. It got pretty cold, I kept coughing
