The Sense of Touch~

Well, as some of you know.. A long time ago.. Miss Emelia cheng used to play the piano. Yup, its true. I played the piano ever since i was 6 years old to be exact. I remembered in my old hse. My neighbour was this piano teacher. And i knew his daughter. Who was about 1 year younger than me. She played the piano ever since she was 3 years old..(what do you expect from a piano teacher's daughter?). And erm... we started being friends. And she started inviting me to her hse and play. The 1st time i saw that piano of his. I was totally in love and blown away. The moment i touched it and the moment i played it(guess what sound came out?? haha!!!). I felt so much passion for it. It felt like i knew the piano and i knew how to play it for a very very long time ago. And that was when the teacher saw me(no worries.. he's not cute at all...=P). He asked"interested in the piano eh??"... i was soooo scared at that time coz i didn't really know him.. ANNNDDDDdddddDDD the fact that he looks kinda scary. I just said "errrr..." and stared at him for a few moments and said "yeah"..And then VVVVROOOOOOOOmmmmMMMMMM.... I went back home with the speed as fast as lightning... Almost every single day... He's daughter would invite me over.. Btw, her name was priscilla... To be frank, i didn't really liked her that much as a child coz... I donno why la.. i forgot adi.. must be some kind of reason though.. I would go over everyday just to see that piano.. And to touch it(i know i sound very obscene but its true) And you know..i kept bugging my mum about wanting to learn the piano... And my mum kept asking me"but you must have a commitment wo... you don't touch n go and then tell me you don't want adi ar??" Didn't think about it at all... i just said yes i will and i want to learn!! I learned piano for about 7 years adi.. which is from 6 years old to around 12 or 13... And then family crisis strikes in!! 1 day when my mum told me that she couldn't afford to pay the piano fees anymore.. the worse part was.. they even sold my piano away... I was completely devasted at that time.. As a little kid.. i didn't know what to do.. but to just cry la of course.. After 4 years of stopping.. i knew that i had lost my sense of touch on the piano.. Whenever i see the piano.. I felt so scared of it.. And when i lay my hand on the keys.. i went completely blank and forgot about everything that i had learned!!! AHHHHH!!!.. I was seriously sad and didn't know what to expect.. To a person who loves music and his/her instrument so much... to lose the sense of touch of it, is definitely like hell and it is of course very difficult to find it back. I'm not talking about sense of touch which are like e.g.. you learn and then you know how to play the notes la this and that... the "sense of touch" that i'm talking about is e.g.. the passion of playing and knowing your own instrument and also understanding the music, your own fingers and the notes on the music sheet.. If you ask me to explain it... i would tell you my friend "i do not know how to explain it at all.." its about the feelings you have inside.. Its like completely falling in love again... Well, i definitely thank God.. Becoz after praying and bugging my mum for so long to let me retake my piano lessons after 4 years... She said "okay"... I guess at this year.. my family probs are beginning to fade away.. Praise GOD and thank Him for helping my family and my parent's. Well, i've never really been into animes or whatsoever. But i recently encounter this anime. Its called "La Corda Doro: Primo Passo". This anime is about music and of course love... The thing interest me the most.. is that this anime pulls me towards it.. And it really teaches me a lot about music and the instrument that i play.. And also a glimpse of the hitories of music... And of course... the charaters in the anime are... H.O.T!! yes... hot!!! I've been praying to God and asking Him to help me find my sense of touch back... I guess He is in the process of doing it now... But of course.. Theres no doubt that... God is my music! Well, let's talk about the anime shall we??.. The anime is basically about this music fairy call Lili.. who has blessed this school.. called"Seiso High school" with music.. And apart of this school are music and general students.. Music students of course major in music and general students are students who are like us.. And there is this girl (no idea whats her name) She went into this school as a general student and 1 day she saw this fairy (Lili) and the fairy said to her "i will bless you with music talent" Well, i don't think that i would wanna explain this further.. so its up to you to find out... At channel 715(Animax) Wednesday:7-8pm... Here are some pics..














Thats all for now!! I'LLL be BACKK!!
