my friend thinks its such a waste that i have stopped piano at grade 7 that he wants to teach me grade 8. for free. hahaha. actually also so that i can take over his duty for playing at the 5pm service coz he has too many other committments at church and school.

he cannot teach me. hahaha i will end up scolding him for asking me to practice my scales and pieces. i've known this guy forever. haha literally. i've known him since he was a baby. hahaha. i'm not kidding you. church friends. our parents all know each other. we all grew up together in sunday school... him and a couple of other guys. but somehow we lost contact with the other girls so it's just us left. he's 2 years younger than me so that makes him my little brother. that's why i can scold him!!!!!

but seriously, should i take up piano again? haha damn lazy!!! i cannot sit at the piano for more than an hour to practice. i will get so restless. you know what are the few occassions that time passess ever so slowly??? when i'm in the lecture and when i'm practising my scales and pieces. the second hand is practially crawling and the minute hand doesn't even seem to be moving!!! after practising for what feels like forever, i look at the clock, and to my horror, it has only been 15 mins. haha i cannot do that anymore. it's torturous. i like playing the piano, but its practising that i hate. don't mind theory though. i rememeber i was always so eager to do my theory exercises and compose short little stanzas and then go play it on the piano to hear how it sounds like. that was fun! there were like ten thousand and one rules about the chords, minor 3rd, major 3rd blah blah blah, but that aside, composing was fun. gave me a sense of accomplishment when i hear the short little stanzas being played. and for the record, those short little stanzas i composed sounded beautiful. bleh. even MY teacher said so. haha. bleh.
