菊花台

My PC is dying..... before i send it off for a major operation, thought i could still leave some "last words" here in this space before who knows when it will see daylight again. Thank goodness i can still get into the internet despite at a snail pace.

After my writer's blog been lifted, i find myself having this incessant need to express my "artistic" flair whether in writing or in music. I thought i have lost it. The music touch. After much persuasion from friends from BSF who came visiting yesterday, i finally did a mini "public" performance. Thank gdness i didn't make a fool of myself in front of them! Today, went to Nat's house and finally got to hear her very talented brother Erwin played on his clavinova. I was sooo impressed by him. What a guy. Talented without a doubt. And yet humble to the core. You would never have guessed a "cheena" looking man like him could play so well on the piano, guitar, organ & flute. Just playing from his heart. And never would imagine that he'd attended ivy league schools like NYU, Boston U & the Imperial College of London. Spending more than 10 years overseas hasn't turned him into one of those fake potatoe speaking wanabes. Wow, too bad love came too late! Haha. I learned some new chords from him today. He taught me how to use those flats to achieve some jazzy tunes. I can't wait to get my fingers on those keys. Erwin played Jay Chou's piano piece from the movie "Curse of the Golden Flower". Ever since returning home, i have been listening to it. Playing it over again and again and hopefully able to remember the piece by heart so i can play it on the piano. It's past midnight now. And my finger's finally stopped it's trembling effect from overplaying the badminton today. I shall go play 菊花台 now. Round midnight.
