KJ- Music & Life 音樂人生

I actually felt alot and was moved by this documentary.
Wanted to comment about it, but not sure where to start.

He might be a genius, but I see sadness and loneliness in KJ.
He's talented, but he really seems empty to me. A big part of his life is only music...
He's not close with anyone, not even his siblings and his parents.
Most people can't understand him and his thoughts.
All genius are probably destined to be lonely. KJ is probably arrogant, cocky, impatient and frustrated because us the commoners don't understand his way of thinking.

Music is the reflection and the projection of your feelings and emotions. You express the music, not the other way around.
Besides KJ"s talent, I think the reason why he plays so well is because he overthinks as a child. He had some amazing thoughts about life as a child:
Why were human beings in the first place. Nothing is this world is perfect. Only death is. I am going to commit suicide when I get a little bit older.
Music is probably his only channel to express all these overwelming thoughts and feelings with his music.

I found this movie very thought provoking.

A school that looks like a resort!?

This is Washima Elementary.
It's sooooo huge and new. All of the flooring and structures are made of wood.
The whole school smells of wood.
Currently there are only 7 classes, approx 210 students.
Lucky students...
These are only some pictures of parts of the school that I sneakly took :p

Us 13 ALTs had a Junior High School seminar.
Our supervisor joined us.
AND… he tricked us into making a stupid song for the head of the department who will be working with us starting from April.
He said he wants to play this song at the welcome party.
Obviously he wanted us to make a fool out of ourselves like circus monkeys, so that other Japanese co-workers could be entertained at this work party.
We hinted on him that this wasn't a good idea and some of us are offended, but he still pressured us to do it.

Anyway, we didn't obey him, so more things happened after that.

Haven’t updated for awhile >.<
Recently I just didn’t feel like using the computer because my computer has been slow.

Nothing much happened at work.
Students had their graduation, so all I did was sitting in the office doing nothing and feel sorry for myself about not being able to do anything at work.
I started to get sick of the office and the people there.

After I got home from work, if I didn’t have any drawing lessons, I would usually be in a really grumpy mood that all I wanted to do is watching Chinese drama.
