for once, pool was fun... dunno why but for some reason Bro's skills plundered that day and i got a few lucky shots. whahaha, talk about lucky. sunk 3 in a row. incredible. nice game bro, let's play again soon.
ever since ah ma and bro's piano lessons started, everytime i pass by my piano, i have the sudden urge to play, whatever song that came to me at that time. i love just how each song reminds me of days when those songs were significant. band days, syf competition, piano exam, watching anime, laughing and joking with friends, all the fanfics that i wrote, all that i've brainstormed, blah blah blah.
ah ma was right when she said 'we force you to be in touch with your piano'. hahaha!! quite true.
and watching bro sitting at the piano for hours and hours without stop just repeating those few melodies really knocked some senses into me. others, they have the relentless spirit that when they want something, they'll fight for it, they'll get it, and they never give up. i've heard of these people, practicing until their hands bleed, this and that. but never have i came so close to meeting one. Bro, you certainly rang wo da kai yen jian, rang wo zhi dao ren wai you ren, tian wai you tian.
compared to my attitude, once i hit the melodies that require more than my usual share of techniques, be it quavers and semi-quavers, jazz tune or whatever, i'll just turn the page and give up. up till now, i realise other than my exam pieces and a few songs which really really appealed to me, i have never finish one song completely.
i missed my clarinet suddenly. i missed playing with the entire ensemble of guitar. i missed playing with the band.
to bro:
bro, jia you. i know you love playing piano, perhaps more than i do. your progress have really shocked the both of us, but we believe you can do it. persevere on! my 'brother' is always available to play haha. i believe you have the talent, just waiting to be made known to you. i know you have the passion for music, and that you just need a little push and you're off. jia you bro, i have faith in you, and you have my fullest support in learning music.
