Practised piano for four hours this morning. I didn't know I could do that. Exam in three weeks time. Not asking for a distinction or a merit because I know I've not been practising my scales and pieces consistently. Burning the midnight oil now. I'll be contented if I even get a pass for my Grade 8. Nevertheless, I'm still filled with regret because of my laziness and not willing to practise regularly starting from day one. I'd have aced this two years ago.

The worst thing is, every time I walk up the stairs, I have to stop in my tracks and make the hardest decision in my life. To me, it's the hardest. :/ You see, the computer will be on my left and the piano on my right, and facing both of them, I'm torn apart. The same question runs through my head everyday :

To play, but which one?

Now, I know the true meaning of self-control. I'd managed to ease those temptations and allow myself to focus on more important stuff like practising my scales and pieces to perfection. No more blogging, Facebooking, Twittering and stalking others' Tumblrs. My Neopets will have to starve for now. At the mean time, hitting the right keys and controlling the tempo of my pieces are my only concern. The touch of the keyboard will just have to wait.

Don't believe I'd ever say this but, I have an exam to pass.
