It's December...

I can't imagine I only blogged once in November... But really there were too many things happening last month (in fact started from end of October). Too many things to settle and just too little time to compose my thoughts to blog.

It's December (again)... And I could clearly recall the last Christmas with my wish list in hand, shopping with my wife for gifts; and now, it's another Xmas coming up!! Time really flies. This year, the Xmas may not be as "extravagant" compared to the last one, in terms of gifts we are gonna buy - coz economy downturn mah! ;) Time to save more money for rainy days! I am not a Christian but I do enjoy Xmas every year - although I don't have any Xmas tree at home and I don't join my Christian friends at church - I personally find Xmas one of the best celebrations throughout the year (dunno why!). Xmas is also a good time for me to get ready my schedule and plans for another new coming year ahead! So, it is in fact an "important" day for me! ;)

This year, I plan to hunt around for a digital piano as my Xmas gift. I have stopped completely my piano lesson since Form Five, and never had the time to play a piano ever since then. In fact i was a little frustrated back in those days, when playing the piano was just to get through exam (still recall those ABRSM thingy...). With such limited time to practise the piano back in those days (so many tuition classes occupying almost everyday, not sparing those weekends!), it was no wonder why I only had time to practise and play those examination pieces and some scales (oh I really hated those scales!!).

What I really dream of is to acquire the true playing skill and to play songs I like on the piano. And not those boring classical pieces, just for the sake of exam! I was doing some research online using Google, and found that there are so many internet sites teaching us how to play the piano from scratch. I really admire those online teachers who have so many brilliant ways and interesting techniques - unlike those days, my piano teachers were a little dull and too exam orientated! ;P

I found this blog "The Linking Hearts", which has many nice piano pieces, ranging from Korean drama OST to US Pop Songs. Hope all of you who love piano, will enjoy playing these pieces too! :)
