Just got back from taiwan!! Naruwan, to everyone! Btw naruwan means how are you?? - in taiwanese speaking….Went there for a week on tour..We went to see the beautiful oceanic scenery, mountain landforms, the townarea, high buildings up towards the sky and so on…Speaking of high buildings, Taipei 101 is one of the highest buildings i’ve been to..From Gucci branded stuffs to Rolex, Bonia, Nike , addidas to any good branded names, you can find it all there…Of course I didn’t buy anything, Just did some window-shopping…Is not that the things there are not to your taste, but the prices are crazy man!! You need at least $$$$$ to buy the branded stuffs!! However the landscape design is fantastic, white shiny-cleaned floor, high-up pillars and cellings…and also a giant christmas tree with presents!! Besides that, we went to night markets…Speaking of them reminds me of the smelly tofu, psss!!! Really terrible smell!!! Worst than the drain smell or the unwashed toilet, however my tour guide insisted that we must give it a try….He explained it’s sort of like Durian in our country, Smelly but delicious….JUST LIKE THIS SMELLY TOFU!! (Firstly, i think Durian smell isn’t that bad, but this smelly tofu is worst in my list of history!!) Then i gave a shot…put it in my mouth..and chewed it!! Ummm……..it is nice after all not bad not that terrible as i expected…Without realizing i ate the whole of it!! Haha…So give it a try if u go to Hong Kong, China or Taiwan!! You must try cs it’s like, don’t judge a food by it’s looks and smell!! (ESP..Smelly tofu!) =) even it’s just a small bite, at least u can tell someone, that u have eaten it!

Have you ever watch one movie called August Rush?? If you haven’t you must see this movie! Honestly speaking, this is one of the best movies I had ever seen..It’s about a young boy called Evan Taylor (August Rush) who was separated from his parents years earlier. And along the way he also find the musical genius hidden within him..This movie will motivate you to believe in your dreams and go for it…Trust me on this one!

After few weeks without piano lessons, I felt so bored..It felt that something is missing my life..I just know how important playing piano in my life is..But somehow whenever my mother’s friends asked me what i want to study. I  said i wanted to study music..Most of them will say,” It’s such a waste, since u’re so good  in studies, u should be a doctor. Why a musician??” Some of them would say studying music is good…I wonder what’s wrong with studying music??  Is it true to say that people who are good in studies should/must be a doctor? Or should we listen to our heart and go for it??

I believe everyone has many friends. But we often ask ourself  this question, ” Of all the friends, who is the true one?? Who is the one who’s gonna help me up when I’m broke or sick??” True? Sometimes i’m blind, i thought maybe i could find one by making more friends. Until one day when i nearly faint and unable to walk properly..When i need a hand the most, she  was there. Whenever I needed you most, you were there by my side..Helping me to walk the difficult path. Why am I so blind? When the one that i’ve have been searching for is already by my side…Thank you to T3..

So one moral is learn to appreciate the one that is by your side. Don’t wait until you lose them. It will be too late…Unless you want to carry that regretness in your whole life..

Sometimes i think i can never get something i dream of. Performing in a hotel was one of my dreams..I remembered 5 years ago, i ever dreamt of playing a grand piano in a high class hotel..Believe it or not it came true on the next 5 years  exactly the same….the same piano, the same feeling..Sometimes we just can’t say dreams don’t come true. As dreams do come true at times…But of course we have to practise frequently and correctly with the character and expressions…

Music can sometimes be your stress-reliever cause you can bang the piano or sing during your shower in anyway you want. Who Cares??  One of my stress-reliever pieces is the “Thema.” Thanks to Beethoven..
