|| .:: Chinese Valentine's Day ::. ||

Last day of Chinese New Year celebration..

also the Chinese Valentine's Day..

had a wonderful day... a relaxing day.. an adventure day..

and YES, accompany by myself.. ^^

Sounds a little silly.. but that's the truth..

Rewarded myself with  quite a heavy dinner at a Taiwanese Restaurant..

and while walking towards the restaurant,

I so happen to see a Sunshine House.. hahahaha..

which reminds me that I'm not alone..^^

Looking back at the pass CNY,

yes... I do have lots of Ang Pau.. ^^

and haha...

I haven't had the guts to buy the shirt I plan to...

though I only tried it in the fitting room.. hahahhaa...

Happy Last Day of Chinese New Year!!! ^^

|| .:: Are you ready!?!?!? ::. ||

Are you ready for CNY???
Are you excited about CNY???
What is CNY all about???

To me, CNY is like most of the festival we celebrate..
Most of the important festival we celebrate is with the dearest person around us.. Family..partners..bf/gf..close friends... etc..
It's all about a gathering of whom we loved..we care..

I remember when I was young, CNY was the time where I can drink soft drink, eat whatever I like and get ang pau (a.k.a $$ MONEY $$).. Hahaha...
and as we grow older.. Ang pau also is kind of important.. haha.. ($.$)
but spending time with a big family that's really priceless..
As we grow older, eating and drinking needed to be taken care of..
cookies & mandarin oranges has reduce quite a lot for my consumption..

Now, about the new clothing,
hmm.. I'm thinking to get something classics..haha..
like below:


hahahaha...

Lastly, I just waiting to get as many ang pau as the below picture.. hahahahaha... "$.$"

|| .:: I need a rest, am I old already? ::. ||

As this will be the last post for the month & year..
 I didn't expect to have written this..
 "I need a rest"

 End of the world not happening and thus, it's a new beginning.. 
I was planning to go here and there.. but..
 I'm finally tired.. physically and mentally..
 Am I getting old??
I use to think that, "I need a rest" this term is use by those seniors~!
but now.. I'm using it..
 *sigh*

Oh well, ok.. I admit.. I am old..
 so do my phone.. haha.. from Antutu benchmark,
it only score 2.5/5 stars even after I've overclocked it with Jelly Bean 4.2.1


Was planning to get a new device during this new year but..
it's kind of a waste cos this HTC Desire HD is still performing quite good.. (at least to me)
So, i decided to give a new soul to it..
Gingerbread 2.3.5 ---> Jelly Bean 4.2.1
1.0GHz ---> 1.2GHz (tested it can go to max to 1.35GHz.. hehe)

Staying at hotel, relaxing doing all this kind of stupid stuff is indeed a joy..
and I truely enjoy it especially it when the suspend of wiping out the old android..
I was so worried that I'll mess up the process.. phew~! I guess I was lucky.. ^^

|| .:: Happy Anniversary ::. ||

Exactly a year ago, this date mark the time I left Malaysia for long..
And, in this year.. many of the changes has been brought..
Or, should I said, Environment does change a boy..

Looking back...
I was in Lyon, France, 2nd Largest City in France.. Left my foot print there for about 3 months..
Lyon's Famous Wall Painting..

In fact, it is so real that even looking with your bare eyes you are as if looking a real scene!!!

The Festival of Lights (French: Fête des lumières) in Lyon!!!  Nice Lighting Show!!


Chirstmas 2011.. I was in Paris..


 Lonely Christmas.. =)


Traveling on the weekends are the usual routine..

Gallo-Fomain Fourviere - was my favourite place of visit so far..
Like back in time.. lolz..

okok.. now, to be honest, the reason why I like it so much is because..
1.) The building structure of the ancient building like this is an art work
2.) The material they use is just so accurate and nice
3.) The precision of all the raw material putting together and make it stood firm is really amazing
4.) The culture of togetherness was seen and felt


Finally, Lyon is snowing.. ^^
My first snow touching... ^^


Then, when the temperature drop down to -7 degree celcius..
I was still going out "to the future".. lolz..
The futuristic design of the building of artist.. the DSLR Apartment..


Next, was the very last visit to the miniature museum..
Indeed, an eye opening experience..


After finishing the task in Lyon, I went on to Holland (Netherland) for a short trip with a good friend at work

|| .:: Dream is meant to be a dream ::. ||

First time ever in foreign country, seen a piano performance..
You asked me how was it.. and.. as usual, I answered so so because the performance is just too short..
One surprise before the performance was the entrance ticket.. It's just a card!!!


In conjunction with the celebration of the Queen's 80th Birthday, each month they have prepared some performance in the Thailand Culture Center..
I'm lucky to meet the piano performance this month..
with the theme name "Greatest Artists of the World 2012"


and the title for today's performance, "Ji-Yong Piano"


Ji-yong (Korean), the youngest pianist ever to win the New York Philharmonic Young Artists Competition at the age of 10 in 2001..
From his posters, I thought he would be someone gentle..


hahaha.. what a surprise.. a casual-formal kind of dressing on stage..
in front of the Grand Piano..
i was feeling a little inappropriate..
well, guess that the audience eyes are different right now..

Seeing him walking out to the piano with the clapping hands as the accompaniment..
Bowing down to the audience.. charming smile..
I'm kind of envy/jealous.. hahaha.. he has done it! =)

With confidence, songs after songs.. without feeling tired of his fingers..
he has continuously played for at least 20mins..
Impressively with the change of tone to the period of the pieces..
he has just done it his way with so much colours painted on it..
Salute!

While enjoying the performance, I'm wondering..
IF.. IF... I've chosen another road.. will I be like him now?
Realizing dreams is really that fun/satisfying?
Questions questions and questions..
I know I don't have an answer for that..
because if I travel back in time, I'll still remain the same..

Logical sense.. Reality vs Dreams,
how can we balance things out?
who will support and agree with me to take a music degree? *sigh*

Dream is meant to be a dream..
See it but yet, it's like so far that you can't even reach it..


OK! It's bedtime now and the right time to dream.. ^^

|| .:: 1st post in september ::. ||

Arghh!!! I thought I can create 2 blog post per month!!
Seems like my plan is ruined.. =(
Today it's already the 2nd of September!!! >.<

Well, in the first day of September, I've did something very crazy..
I DROVE IN FOREIGN COUNTRY!!!
Which I have only dream about it before but never really try it..
Plus, it is the new Nissan Slyphy!!!
Oh gosh! That's like a dream come true to me..
The most happiest things in ever happen to me in Tom Yam Land..

Second, I get to enjoy myself with my Boleh Land people..
Which is kind of great!!!
Chit chat whatever things and the channel is so sync!!
There's no need to compare them with the "Tanah Besar" people..
Because, our culture is so much different..
Happy to know I can stay till 1am to post this.. Haha..
I hope September bring many happiness to everyone..
Well at least is a good start..^^ 
Good night world~~

|| .:: Never know.. ::. ||

I never know you will still keep looking at this blog all the time..
even though I've told you I will not update it that frequent..
but yet, you keep looking at this page almost everyday..
(PS: do remember there's a traffic source to trace back.. ^^)

I wonder, is it I am taking too much..
Should I consider the feeling of others more than the feeling of myself?
I figured out.. based on my experiences.. =)
Yes, I am selfish.. I have to be..
I want to have a life of what I want..
Not what I should be..
By doing what I want, no matter is good or bad,
I'm the one who responsible for it..
and I've no one to blame..
Hope you understand..

I never know I'm that selfish.. and..
I never know you are that _______ <-- You fill up yourself.. ^^
Thank you thank you & thank you...

"A complex feeling running through my head last night,
I wonder is it because of the fight.
Trying to be the bitchy knight,
Victory calls but losses all because of my thinking is too light."

is it a nice compose?
Perhaps, I may be seen as a happy person..
but deep inside, those moody/sad feelings suits me more..
All the songs I play is sad/moody..
all the photos I took, it's mostly in sad theme..
mostly in sunset.. autumn feel.. why?
That's what I feel and satisfy of taking those photos..

Gemini, seems like 2 personality into one body.. lolz..

|| .:: 钢琴之森 ::. ||

《钢琴之森》是一部2007年的动漫。。
很遗憾，我现在才发现。。

音乐、钢琴，在你心目中他是什么样的一件事呢？
在这部动漫中，Sensai问，“钢琴在你心目中是什么一回事呢？”
雨宫的答案，“因为身在钢琴世家中，所以一定要把钢琴练好。”
海的答案，“钢琴弹出来是快乐的。”
我呢？

从小就很渴望自己有机会弹钢琴。。
弹一些别人的歌，还有自己的歌。。
可是，我非常的懒惰。。从来没想过要跟爸爸妈妈说要学。。
因为学了后，肯定玩的时间会比较少。。
一直到我妹妹说要学，爸爸妈妈才问我要不要一起学。。
本来我的答案是“不要”， 可是因为婆婆可能太了解我了，一直叫我先试一试。。
这样，我就和钢琴绑在一起了。。

刚开始，手指硬得不得了。。练了好久才开始比较“软”。。
毕竟都十岁了啊！>.<
已经离我们而去的老师跟我爸妈说我比我妹有天赋，应该好好栽培。。哈哈！
这是后来妈妈才跟我说的。。
其实听到老师这样说我真的很开心。。

我终于明白“纸上谈兵”以及“领兵出击”只是后人所做的一种肯定。。
因为我妹在每一场考试当中，成绩都会比我好。。
因为每一次到了考场，我都会很害怕。。
我很害羞、担心会弹错。。所以每一次考试都不是我的最好一次。。

我非常的同意“海”的说法。。
钢琴是弹来让自己开心的。。弹出自己的钢琴才是最棒的。。
我有我风格的说法吧～！
除了让自己开心之外，我还把它当成我的嘴巴，在我无法用语言来表达我自己的时候，钢琴代替了我的口，“说”了出来。。

在我出差了那么久后，最舍不得的事物就是钢琴，而不是我的车。。
我还以为我会很想念飚车的日子。。哈哈！
事实告诉了我，飚车的日子已经过去了。。
但改车的日子依然存在啦～ ^^

很谢谢Steve创造了iPad让我可以再一次“带”着钢琴走偏全球。。
虽然不是真的，但已经可以止渴了。。
