Do you have a wish that you've been holding onto since childhood days? Well, I guess I do.
In lower Primary, I tried to learn the piano, but when my teacher migrated, I did not continue. I think I was only at Grade 1 or 2!! But I still remember how my theory book looked like. =) & I remember I had fun recognizing the musical notes (looked like bean sprouts dun they) and I like the feeling of my fingers on the piano keys. I don't think I am musically inclined, but I do adore the melodious sound of the piano, even up till now.
But as time passed by, slowly, the dream of me being a master at piano eluded me. Or rather, I eluded my dream. I can give a thousand excuses for my action, like no time/no money/have better things to do/too much school work on hand blah blah, but they are ultimately excuses. If I have anything to blame, blame it on my lack of peseverance.
As the saying goes, it's never too late to learn. So guess what? I'm now taking Yahama pop piano lessons on Sundays! Wahaha. Yeah, it's not the exam kind, but rather, it's more for leisure which is what I am looking for. My friends think I'm crazy, because I work in OMD Mon-Fri, I teach at Berries on Sat from 8.30am to 3.30pm, and now I'm taking piano lessons on Sundays at 10am. Wahaha. It did sound a bit crazy to me, but hey, lessons are at Yamaha Tampines Mall, which is near my house wad. Not dat bad rite? Keke. I was very motivated by the uncle who sat beside me in class. He's like in his mid 40s, but still putting in alot of effort to remember the notes and be able to play. How can a 24-year-old gal like me give up on her dream so easily?
So here I am, in my second month of learning. Keke. $75 per month, still quite affordable. I hope I can learn to play using both hands soon! & hey, I've decided the first song I learn on my own (after I get the chords right) will be the Wen Hou Ge (aka Peng You Ge that Xiaozhu sang in Zhuan Jiao Yu Dao Ai). It symbolizes friendship, and also reminds me of the memorable scenes from the show. Love it.
Working hard towards my little childhood dream.. =)
