As The World Turns

Ok enough of the melancholy.

Now I know why my CD collection got a lot more songs like this one by Maksim. More upbeat music gets you moving and grooving, yeah baby. Anytime I need a pick me up, Van McCoy is always a sure bet.

Years ago I used to learn how to play the piano, until I got tired of classical music, didn't appreciate it then. If Earth Wind and Fire's After The Love is Gone was the examination piece, man I would probably have aced it. *sees myself playing one hot set of keys now (day dreaming again)* but alas it was not to be and I dropped out and joined the school band instead. Boy did I had fun, (remember this was primary school, you didn't know you had to study later) it was a marching and concert band, complete with fancy turns and all. I had a valve trombone, heavy but kinda cool. Spent so many loving hours polishing it lovingly and then there was the uniforms, I got wear a jacket and tie for the very first time. But then PSLE had to show up, I stopped playing and I never got back into in Sec school, kena banned from playing in the band by my mom. So parents let your kids do what they are good at, never know who's the next Yanni.........Sigh.

So as part of my mid life resurgence, I've recently been eyeing this Yamaha keyboard for sometime liao, my hands are itching to get back. Probably won't play like Maksim but I think I can get ok with some practice (LOTS of practice.......) Nice thing about a keyboard like this, is that it has all the built in synthesizers, so it doesn't require that I have the dexterity of a 12 fingered alien. Its all about programming hehe. Most importantly, its got a earphone jack !!! My neighbours don't have to murder me or commit suicide now. But like a typical Libra, I'm still on the fence, hawing, and humming and going back to the shop to see it for the thousandth time.

Ho Humming......
