Fever

Either it's due to sleeping late or the lack of drinking enough water or perhaps even the combination of both(which is a high cause of heatiness), Renee came home after our visit to my mom's last night with a high fever(we heard that her cousin, JX was also hving fever, thus they did not go down).

In fact, when we got to my mom's, I had already noticed that her body was rather warm and I should have not bought her down to KFC for dinner, :(...

Today, although her temperature has gone down alittle but as her theory lesson's held in an air-conditioned room, she came out telling me that she didn't feel up to it for her practical session.  However, a last minute check(I've forgotten that we're supposed to check the notice board ourselves, thus only found out today), I realised that her masterclass(MC) is just next week!  So, no choice, she'd still have to go to her practical lesson...

Probably due to the fever, she's forgotten the last few lines of the piece she's supposed to play during the MC, without looking at the scores(just like exam/performance)  However, she played another piece much better and her teacher asked if she'd like to change it to the latter one.  She panicked and replied immediately with fear that she doesn't want to have to remember another piece.  I reminded her gently(since she's unwell, heee)that since she's unable to remember the former piece fully, there's no harm trying the other piece but she wouldn't relent, so we left it as it is.

On the way to returning the new chin rest as it's not that comfortable as she'd thought earlier(and it's making her position looked funny according to her teacher.  I had to spend some time re-fixing the old one back, haiz.), I spoke to her about her teacher's suggestion and that since the teacher finds her playing i that much better, she should really give it some consideration but of course, I'd leave the decision to her.  In the end, she agreed to give it a try.  It's only 6 days to the 'performance' and she's still hasn't recovered, I can only cross my fingers and hope that she'd be able to do it...

Back home, as what normally happens, her fever temperature went up again at night and since I'm the one whom have to worry over her at night, I decided to grant her her wish to sleep with us so I need not walk in and out of her room like the night before(hard to depend on maid to do such things, anyway, it's simply not my style if I can help it)...
