OMG, I'm exhausted but feeling satisfied. :) Done with dinner just now after coming back from church (I was there since morning!) then played the piano for a while. Playing The Reason by Hoobastank on repeat. Currently addicted to it. (Y) I played for my grandpa to hear; best feeling in the world. I wanna find music scores for Viva La Vida and Someone Like You. MUST! I printed out Moves Like Jagger but damn freaking hard to play lah. Plus, there are FOUR staves, so how am I supposed to play? Obviously, as I only have two hands, LOL.

Oh, my goodness whey. I'm so inspired to learn musical instruments already, I don't know why! My dad brought back his own guitar, my uncle's guitar and my other uncle's violin from my old house. The violin looks really old and the strings of the bow had already snapped. My mum is gonna take it for repair later. My dad taught me a few chords on the guitar but I couldn't play because the fingernails on my left hand are too long, teehee. And to me, guitar is the HARDEST instrument to learn compared to the rest 'cause when you wanna play a chord, your fingers must press the EXACT strings that make up that chord without touching other strings or else the sound produced will be really... hmm, how can I put it... hesitant. Hesitant? Yea, hesitant. Anyway, if my friends can self-learn guitar, so can I. *tries to be optimistic* After all, practice makes perfect.

Vivian taught me how to play the drums in church after service today! :D I think I was too noob and lack of coordination so she got tired of me (sorry, Vivian!) and handed me over to Elijah. Walao, he was so freaking good! ~~Like a pro whey!~~ No, he IS a pro. He taught me so many different beats until my brain (that lacked of brain cells) couldn't comprehend anymore. Some of my beats were totally messed up and I just couldn't hit the snare drum at the right time. Nevertheless, I managed to pick up a few types of beats (DAMN HAPPY, OKAY) so I'm gonna practise like mad on the drum pad to prevent myself from forgetting what I've learnt. :)

Alright, guys. Gotta go finish up my Mandarin novel to prepare the script for my last minute Mandarin oral test. Sigh, so lazy lah but I have no choice. Hmm... On second thought, nahhh. I'd rather play Guess The Sketch on Facebook. If you're my friend on Facebook, come and join me, please. I'm so bored. For your convenience, click HERE. :D
