Music Flows in Me



I remember how it exactly started!

My parents thought "children who learns piano are more obedient", and they want us to have a healthy hobby, so they bought us a keyboard at first! my Siblings and I were so excited about it back then, because the keyboard can do a lot of interesting effects and funny music. We played it almost everyday and it really brought a lot of fun and laughter to our family, and it had made us bond closer. :)

but things are not that fun anymore when i started taking piano classes at first, because learning all those classical songs which I don't know how to enjoy it was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllly boring. :/
I did not want to practice and touch the piano anymore and I start hating it cause I can't play all the songs, and when teacher forces you to play them, it's really tiring la. ( it's like figuring out how to do add maths questions that you don't even know! )

Until one point, where my brother gets to a level where he needs to start using piano pedal, then my parents bought a real piano this time which costed them  a bomb!  and that makes me can't my hands out from the piano. HOWEVER,THANKS TO MY PERSISTENT MUM, I AM ABLE TO MAKE IT THIS FAR! :D

Just went for my Grade 8 piano exam few days ago at Jaya 33 Function Room. For this time, cause I can't really focus in piano until the very last month, so I hard core played piano for the 4 weeks! there's one day I played 6 hours a day until my left hand feels cramp and I cannot continue playing anymore for that day.
Well, I want to say all the effort paid off but NO... I did quite badly... :/
I was unprepared for it I would say, I didn't read up te background the composers so I did on that morning and I did not get enough time to warm myself up. So I literally did a mistake every 15 seconds. 
*Imagine a song with that lot of mistakes.*

I always believed that God will not abandon me, even at the driest times, and I believe there's something that he wants to hint me. After thinking of it, I think he is taking this chance to learn the importance of managing my time properly. I have this habit of doing things last minute and at most of the times the results aren't good to look at. 

All in all, I am reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally grateful and lucky to have my piano teacher and my mum who constantly pushes me this far, that now I get to play the songs that I like to play and to entertain other people as well. ;)  I learnt how to appreciate the classical music and I started to love hem. ;)   The results are coming out in 2 weeks time, but nomatter what's the results of the exam, I will have no regrets cause I have tried my best and he has a reason for making everything to happen ;)

Here's a video of me playing one of the songs that I liked very much. enjoy! :)
PS: I never thought I will show it here when I posted it, so please don't mind my clothing and some mistakes here and there. xD
