Oh well, the wkend is over again, and the week is comin again.. freaking sian.. yesterday finally I manage to take the courage to take MRT all the way from Chinese Garden to Bedok to meet up my gf for lunch. (yeah, normally I seldom take trains, becuz I'm too lazy to cross the stupid bridge to the opposite.)
After having a stuper yummy but fat, delicious and sinful Kenturkey Fried Chicken, we proceed to church for our music practice. I'm really enjoying the time we had our 1 or 2 hrs of practicing or even an half hour of Jam Sessions. Is really quite fun, but off cuz all this we are doing for God. Sometimes I really think of myself... I'm really very blessed that God giving me a beautiful fingers to play for Him. I don't have any cert on piano like even Grade 1. Yeah, I tried to go to music school twice to get my gradings. But however, half way thru, I give up. Because I dun like start from scratch like how to play Do Re Mi kind! Okie, nevermind.. I shall tell you the piano life story about me..
Since when I was around 14 years old, my brother-in-law brought a piano and put it in my house so that she could come here and practicing her grade 8 piano. At that time, I dun even know how to play. Soon, almost everyday, I have been hearing she practicing her piano songs like those classical song.. WOW... SO NICE LAH.. Soon, I started to touch the piano... like just anyhow press or wadever...
DEN.... I start to become christian when I was 16. Seeing those pianist on stage playing those beautiful christian songs. I was like.. WOW.....Until den, I started to become friends with the pianist and started to get interested in music. So during tat time, I started to go music schools to get my grades, but however.. hahaha.. you noe lah.. During that time, we have the so call youth gathering on every sat at church. Guess wad, almost every sat, I will tend to sit beside the pianist, see and hearing how they play.. and try to learn by self practing at home. So around 1 or 2 years time, I started to become pianist in youth and worship team. But during the worship team, I'm only playing the keyboard at the back. Thats was when I was around 16 or 17. But in my school, I started to become pianist in my music band too!!!! Den after a few years of 魔鬼训练, I started to promoted to become the main pianist.
And I was so blessed that our church choir conductor was giving me my first choir songs to play!! And that time was during Christmas! From there, I slowly become a choir pianist and worship pianist. ALL the way until now.
From 16 years old until 26 years old, I din even get any Grades for my piano, all the while I have been mastering myself, try to be creative on how to play a songs. So now, I'm more a comtempoary pianist rather den a classical pianist. I really really thank God that He had blessed me with this wonderful gifts.. People will tend to ask after I played "Hey, what grade you have?" And I will says "Er.. no grade, all by self-learning" Den they will like "Wad... dun bluff" Haha.. Please dun get me wrong, I'm not proud of myself, I'm proud of my God who can give to a person from a no talent, no background and noe nuts on anything at all about music to become a lead pianist in church.
Yeah.. Thank God for that..
Okie okie... I think I shall stop my story here.. below is some random photos.. haha
