A message from a stranger

She said, ‘Mr. Yip, I am from the Course Development Section.’

I said, ‘Yes.’

She said, ‘You participated in a course development project and help preparing teaching materials three years ago.’

I said, ‘Yes, 3 years ago.’

She said, ‘The renumeration came finally.’

I said, ‘Wonderful.’

She said, ‘Any problem?’

I said, ‘No.’

She said, ‘if you have no problem, please provide me with your bank account number for the transfer payment?’

I said, ‘Alright.’

I said, ‘I’ve passed AMusTCL examination (Associate in Music Theory Trinity College London)

Another me said, ‘I know it already.’

I said, ‘I want to sit for the examination of LMusTCL (Licentiate in Music Theory Trinity College London).’

Another me said, ‘Let’s do it later.’

I said, ‘What late is it?’

Another me said, ‘Wait until you’ve got the ability?’

I said, ‘How long do I have to Wait until I’ve got the ability? Then what are the abilities you are talking about?’

Another me said, ‘Some day in the future.’

I said, ‘Which day is it? Sigh, I ask my teacher on my own.’

I said, ‘Teacher, I’m going to sit for the LMusTCL and I want to know more about it.’

Teacher said, ‘Okay.’

I said, ‘How many people should there be?’

Teacher said, ‘1 to 2.’

I said, ‘how long is the preparation?’

Teacher said, ‘Around 40 lessons, once a week, around 10 months, it all depends on your music ability and efforts.’

I said, ‘Understand.  I can see the exam syllabuses for 6 years, 2021-2022, 2023-2024, 2025-2026, which year shall I enrol?’

Teacher said, ‘2023-2024, the excerpt analysis is on keyboard music, which is the simplest among the different music genres.’

I said, ‘What is the best time to start?’

Teacher said, ‘As soon as possible.’

I said, ‘No need to wait until I’ve completed the composition diploma?’

Teacher said, ‘No need, you’d better start it as soon as possible.  The examination opens twice a year, one in May and the other one in October.  The syllabus will change every two years.  For each syllabus, you’ve got only 4 chances.  Don’t expect a pass in your first attempt. The passing rate is lower than 20%.’

I said, ‘Got it, the earlier the better.  In case I fail, I can have a few more lessons and retake it.’

Teacher said, ‘Exactly.’

…….

Another me said, ‘Why don’t you tell us the tuition fee and the examination fee?’

I said, ‘It costs quite an amount.’

Another me said, ‘There is nothing cheap but of good quality.’

I said, ‘I know it.’

Another me said, ‘Now that it isn’t something cheap, will you still go ahead?’

I said, ‘I’m now going to make appointment with Dr. So’s on the lessson time and get myself ready for the LMusTCL examination?’

Another me said, ‘It’s really difficult and it costs quite an amount. Why don’t you wait until He shows you His next move?’

I said, ‘He’s already offered me 100% support.’

Another me said, ‘When, where and how did He offer you 100% support?’

I said, ‘This morning, at 7:01 a.m., He arranged a staff from the Course Development Section to hand me the renumeration that was being held for 3 years. This subsidy can fully cover my application for LMusTCL, 40 lessons of learning and even subsequent attempts in case of failure. At 10:34 a.m., He even prepared my teacher to teach me how to do.  You’re suffering amnesia, aren’t you?’

Another me said, ‘Oops, I can’t remember.’

I said, ‘You forgot what happened this morning, but He still remembers what happened even 3 years ago.  I don’t want to waste any more of my time on some amnesia patient like you.  I get to make an appointment with my teacher on the LMusTCL lesson.’

Another me said, ‘When do you want to star?’

I said, ‘In the first week of July.’

Another me said, ‘It’s just 2 weeks later, immediately after the examinations of the third semester?  Why in such a hurry?  Hold on.’

I said, ‘Now that the Lord has already offered 100% support.  Whom should I be waiting for?  You?  That’s it. Anchor, ready. Go.’
