My 1rst in 2007

Well, it’s been a while since i came here. haha... i dunno wat has encouraged me to come again, somehow it’s more like seeing others conveying their own true feelings so nakedly n honestly in their own blogs, suddenly there comes a feeling of envy n admiration which i could hv portrait my innerself better here.

alrite, i’ve jz came back from piano class an hour ago... it’s 4.08pm now. somehow the piano lesson is jz for the sake of getting a certificate to prove tat i’ve the same qualification like others do. nah... it’s an odd thinking for whom i was in the primary sch be4. rite now, i’ve known so much frenz, preferbably May, to whom has revived my passion and enjoyment in playing piano n not for the sake of examination. if it wasn’t my old music sch has closed down, probably i won’t know so many great frenz around me.

If anyone of u reading this blog, the story has to start long ago from the beginning of where i learnt the piano. I was still an innocent n angelic child tat time, probably 7 yrs old? yes, my parents send me there becoz my cousin has been there n they wish someday i would b jz as great as her. i din think much at tat time as most of the decision was made by my parents. i jz know to get there every saturday afternoon n taught by a young teacher who has qualification of Grade 8 though.

Many of my frenz started to take up the examination earlier but then my sch has a rule tat once a child hsn’t reach a certain FINGER length (it’s funny though but true) will b forbidden to take the exam. my fingers were really short then... till i reach primary 4, then i hd my 1rst real royal board examination n i passed with flying colour of coz...

It was a nightmare then when i reached form 2, tat’s when i took Grade 5 examination. there’s two section of the examination which a candidate has to take in order to proceed to next level, tat is practical n theory exam. i passed the practical exam but ... i failed in theory exam. it was jz 3 marks from the passing border that i din manage to make it through.

the nightmare din end there. suddenly, my music sch annouced to be close down at the end of this yr. it was a huge shock though... the insane reason was tat the location was not strategic enough n not making enough income to support the expenses there. i mean wat the heck~ the real reason later for tat was the owner of the music sch was going to concentrate on the new bussiness she has opened this yr so she was rather busy for taking care of both side. i mean is why the owner treat this music sch as a bussiness rather than gving enjoyment and joyful from learning the piano in kids? this is another brutal case and should b fined for $1,000,000 for each kids if it was in a country whose ppl like music very much.

till then i’ve jz realize how much care n love i’ve put into piano. i jz miss it... moreover there’s lots of frenz, teachers, the environment. ... my future of piano shone very dimly.

the owner of music sch gv each of us choices of where we will be choosing to go... i really dunno where i am going... i’m lost in the wide, open sea. i jz know i wanted to be there only. at last i went to choose Music Galerie, which i’ve never heard about it.

the 1rst day i came there, the teachers there were very friendly. somehow i felt to b respected at here which made me at ease after a few minutes later. after knowing the fees n so on... i’ve decided tat i must continue to enhance my skill in piano... here is another ground for me to unleash my talents. mayb this is God’s arrangement. i shall accept tat with my whole heart.

at here, i’ve came to learn from different teachers, mainly Salley n Angelic teacher. they were both really great~! i learn from Salley teacher for about 1 yr, then i was been taught by Ms. Angelic teacher. From there onwards, i was exposed to various opportunity.

in 2005, i was arranged to be playing duet with may for the christmas nite. there, i began to know few more talented ppl like Han Tu (he was really brillanttt~).

i think i’ve talk too much nonsense here. hehe. all in all, i LOVE PIANO~!!!!
