Disappointment / Anger of the day

First of all, am i the luckiest girl in this world? just got another call from my friend. she told me, my 1st ex bfd, the singer/designer, got married already. he is the one that i am a little disappointed with. I met him as if a fairy tale. we end up falling in love, and breaking up. I wish I would have met him now, instead of when I was 17. we did keep contact even after we broke up. i love being a friend with him, he is much older than me, can always help me solving up problems and sadness. however, all out of a sudden, since i got to the states, after a year, he never reply my email again. it is like someone suddenly vanished in the air. I think I haven't seen him for more than 3 years already, maybe even more than that. I couldn't even remember when is the last time he and I met. I don't know why he and i lost contact. he is really a friend that i truly treasured. i am disappointed. but good for him, finally get married. I would never imagine that he is the marriage kind of guy.

ok, the second thing is, I was pissed at work today. dealing with my professor is one thing that I hate very much. I mean dealing with boss in general, especially he/she is a foreigner. so here we are, working on the stupid macau valentine's day concert. there is a chinese folksong piece in the program. then my professor asked for my help in terms of the lyrics and stuff. for the lyrics, I am perfectly fine with it, i am glad to help. What i really hate it, all Foreigners, not only americans but this time Austrian. whenever they see Chinese music, they assume all Chinese know about chinese music. when I was going through the score with him, he kept asking me question and said 'is it a familiar tune for you?' 'is it a typical musical gesture for a chinese orchestra?' first of all, that's a folksong transcription for a Western Orchestra, for chinese music, there is no such thing anyway. Chinese orchestra is never something chinese, it's what people nowadays trying to make chinese music easily approcahed for the audience. Chinese music are meant for self entertainment and free improvisation. It's all wrong from the starting point as a folksong transcription to orchestra. besides, I am chinese, doenst mean i study chinese music. and for chinese music, there are thousand/ millionaire different kind, with thousand years of chinese history, there is no way for me to even know a little about it. especially for me, being live in Hong Kong for most of my life. It's a British Colony for hundred years, we don't listen to chinese opera or chinese music. we listened to the beatles!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T EVER ASSUME CHINESE MUST KNOW CHINESE MUSIC!
