Wkleung:

We have some close similarities, being an engineer cum musician. Robin Trooper is also somewhat in the same league as us.

The 145/150 is damn good on a grade 8 ABRSM. I only had about 8 months to prepare for the grade 8, and did a 125, but quite satisfying. My piano exams were mostly scraping by, so I was not enthused in pursuing further after my piano grade 8.

Hong Kong is not that remote. I take your diploma exams to mean the graded ABRSM exams or is it, something else ? I hear HK has some system of exams too. On the ABRSM it was only one examiner for the graded certificates and 2 examiners for the LRSM. My time, I dont think there was a FRSM.

From your msg header, are you in the US, or HK and just using the blackberry RIMM device logging into RIMM servers? Anyway, London is nothing to jump up and down about. Unlike HK,where food is heaven, food in UK sucks, dark and dreary 90% of the time and everything is expensive. My years at Cambridge, I just wanted to get it over with and get out of UK pronto.

Do you play now in the orchestra or ensemble circuit ?
