Well dreams are dreams, in the end, I didn't even finish Grade One. I remember in kindergarten or lower primary, mummy let me take up some lessons in Changkat CC, but after a while the teacher migrated or something and that was the end of my association with piano. I had a toy piano at home, a very colourful one, and I would still take it out and play it whenever I had the chance, naively hoping that I can still become a piano expert like that.

Anyway, last year, I took up lessons at Yamaha for a couple of months. To learn to read notes, so that in future at least I can try to play simple scores. I led a real hectic life with a full-time job, part-time teaching, piano lessons and wedding-cum-ROM planning. I woke up by 8am everyday, Mon-Fri to work in OMD, Sat to teach in Berries, Sun to go for piano lesson. Yeah plus I still went partying sometimes on Fri and Sat. They say, when you have passion, you don't feel fatigue. I guess it's true, though I don't think I can find that burst of energy I had again. Well, the point is, I made up my mind to pursue after my dream again, a dream that had never left me since childhood.

So, now that I have my own digital piano which I bought for $800 early this year, and I have more time in Sweden to search online for music scores and more time to decipher the notes, I am now learning to play Mandarin pop songs. Woho. Songs that I like, songs that have a meaning to me, songs that strike a chord in my heart everytime I listen to them.

So Ta-Dah. My very first recording of playing the piano. Yeah yeah yeah. And one of my favourite songs. I ain't the best, and yes i made mistakes despite having several takes, but I am happy and touched and proud that I learnt something on my own, and so it's a happiness I wanna share with jw and with my friends. Maybe one day mummy can see this clip too. Will she be proud of me? I hope so. =) Hee. If you realise, I didn't look at the score at all. Because I simply can't look at score and play at the same time. Yar yar yar. Lousy. So what I do is write memorize and play by heart. Waha. I think it's easier for me.

Cheers to many more songs to come in future.. I guess dreams do come true... =) to jw, thanks for being my one and only, but ever so important and faithful audience.. =p
