Kỷ niệm một buổi học trống
Giờ kiểm tra bài. Từng bạn đánh cho thầy nghe, nội dung: một dòng nhạc.
Em A: Em A gõ quá tốt, thầy gật gù khen ngợi
Em B: Hơi cà giựt nhưng vẫn xong
Em C: Thầy góp ý “too much control”, nên thả lỏng hơn, nhịp điệu rất tốt rồi
Em D: Ổn cả
Em Tiên: Thầy không ý kiến, bật lại nhạc 2 lần cho đánh, xong nhẹ nhàng bảo: “Mày đánh sai cái ‘cheng’ rồi kìa!”.
Hóa ra là đáng ra phải gõ cái ‘crash symbal’, em Tiên gõ cái ‘ride symbal’, cứ thế vô tư.
Ôi :D.

[2012-09-01] First time joining Weixing in his obs in the grass field. I never see the moon so bright, so big! He helps to show me other stars and nebula. Man it is great! Much thanks to him. Now left with the question: where to start when I feel like a complete idiot evey time I look at an astronomy book ~.~
[2012-07-30] A quick online search for binoculars tells me that for beginners with a budget <USD200, Nikon Action 10×50 is quite good. Will read more about it and update here.
Sunday Dinner
Probably the only dish I’m comfortable making ~.~
