Music

Music is my best friend, my best accompaniment. Music is always there irregardless when i'm moody, i'm down, or i'm happy. In short, music is my life.

I've started learning piano at da age of 4 and after much delays and hardships, i finally gotten my grade 6 certificate during my pre-secondary years. Its quite amusing dat although i've learnt piano for almost 10 years, during dat period, i somehow didn't develop an interest in music. Wat kept me goin on was da thinking dat it would all be wasted after coming so far n quitting it half way. After my grade 6 cert, i noe dat it was impossible for a person who do not have interest in music and has bad finger control to actually continue dis road and I chose 2 stop learning. Surprised enough, it was only after quitting piano dat i start to fell in love with music. Maybe b4 dat i was 2 obsess with daily chores like homework, tuitions, lessons and all like any other kid in my area.

As i grow up, i've faced many obstacles. However, it was my piano dat went through da thick n thin all da time. It made me start 2 think dat not quitting in da 1st place was definitely da rite choice. When in da absence of my piano since i'm, studying away from home, i listen 2 music.
Whether if i'm down, i'm studying, i'm bored, i'm furious, i'm in love, i'm missing love, i'm travelling or so, music n i are inseparable. It certainly helped me went through my breakup when i needed it da most. Since i've gotten my new phone, ppl use to criticize my habit of listening to da headphone 24/7 but little do they noe bout my love for music.

My love for music developed to da extent dat i've even tried to compose songs which got me a chance to have it presented in a concert. Some say my composing sucks, some say dat its a good start, but little do they noe bout da story hidden beneath dis song and its origins. However, it was good experience working with pianist, guitarists, drummer and singers which small amount of ppl get the chance to experience. Anyway, i stopped composing due 2 lack of time but definitely haven't gave up on it.

Now, i have onli 2 dreams on music. 1, to compose a song good enough for an album's ost and 2, to own my own grand piano. Sounds impossible but my dream is 2 make it possible.

I too can be an emo bastard sometimes

Howcome i'm still getting sleepless nites after da FYP craze, i wonder.
Howcome every now n den i still have dreams of wat happened more than half a year ago.
Howcome I'm not da me dat i used 2 be b4.
Howcome 1 + 1 does not equal to 2 in life.
Howcome things dat i like differ from others.
Howcome it wasn't as easy on me.
Howcome i'll stare blankly without a reason n wander away.
Howcome wat i give is not wat i get.

I miss da sunset on bear bear hill.
I miss da dips in da pool in a hot day.
I miss da hugs n kisses every now n den.
I miss da foolish things we did back den.

I fear da looks of others.
I fear da sense of uncertainty.
I fear being placed in small spaces.
I fear failures.

2 much 2 do b4 graduation.
2 much 2 miss after graduation
2 much 2 care in da near distant future
2 much 2 look forward 2 in da new world

2 little time b4 graduation
2 little done during these 4 yrs
2 little achievements to self satisfaction
2 little cares have been given out to da world

I might be an engineer, i might not
I might see u again, i might not
I might earn a fortune, i might not
I might be a better man, i might not

Wateva happens,
I wish u all da best
I wish for da better future
I wish dat these memories stay foreva
I wish there is a connecting line between us all

2 Forget n Go on or 2 Pause n Look back?

Yep, 2day is da big day for my primary school classmate. Known her since standard 1, n shes getting married 2day. Usually kids from my area don't get married so soon, but her case is a bit different. Knowing her was like just yesterday where she was a kid of merely 1 metre tall with her pony tail running up n down da hallways of my primary school, constantly arguing with me bout things n 2day, shes getting married.

I was a blank piece of paper, like everyone else when i was born. However, living in a big city certainly left scars on me after being burnt countless times. I grew up in a competitive environment where survival is crucial, ego, selfish, materialistic, self-protective, emotionless, r all da things we learnt even as a child. I'll give u certain phrases constantly quoted by KL young adults. " Gals r everywhere, u dump 1 n u get 1, its da flow." " We KL ppl always stick 2 da rule of da thumb - We protect our butts" "Money is everything" " I dun run a charity. How much does being courteous pays u?" " Being a litterbug is good. If i dun throw rubbish everywhere, who is going 2 pay da road sweeper for their job?"
Wanna survive in KL, u've gotta learn these city traits.

Friends, i've got tones. True friends dat would put u b4 themselves, hardly any, even now. I guess its as hard 2 find as dinosaurs. Love? I doubt man. Come n tell me if u believe in true love after u've been burnt several times. In KL, Love = Money, so, get money b4 u get love. Ppl often say, : Y dis gal is so pretty n her bf is like shit? Well, next time plz look at his ride b4 making dat statement.

2 be able 2 hide ur thoughts is another essential skill in the law of survival, until now, i'm still not a master of it but i see many of my friends r beyond grandmaster level. 2 da extent dat when they r boasting, its da real stuff n when they r not, its da hoax, seldom u can guess their thoughts.


I have many gp of friends, going out everyday, partying on n off, outings once in a while, yum cha constantly, but somehow, some part in me, i still feel lonely and empty. Is been months, almost a year i've been having dis feeling, yet it does not get betta. Now i even pay more attention 2 it than usual, curiosity n cares comes from a distance. It'll be a long long time for dis 2 subside, i'm a slow healer.

2 forget n go on or 2 pause n look back?
