Click on this music clip to listen to my latest recording of For Fruits Basket.

It's been a really REALLY long time since I played my keyboard. So when I pulled it out from under my bed, I tried to remember the very first song I had chosen to learn and memorize. It was a song simple enough for me to play since I already know the tune of it.

I didn't like sight-reading and I hated having to memorize every chord in particular (which probably means I would be wasting a hell lot of money if I enrolled in piano classes; augh theory). So Surly's dad taught me the chords for the song bit by bit before I played it part by part.

I was so delighted when I was able to play the whole song. I didn't remember what chords they were. But I remember the chord progressions. Like LITERALLY remember which keys I have to place my fingers on. But I learnt the song in 5 days that time and till now, even after a LONG LONG while of not touching my keyboard, I am STILL able to figure out the chords on my own by ear. I still remember how the chords progressed and somehow, I've played the song umpteen times that I just somehow know where to place my fingers and find the chords again in cases where I've forgotten them.

It was my dream as a child to be able to play the piano, so when I was finally able to lay my hands on them, I was completely thrilled!

Am now learning to play Ave Maria (Bach/Gounod) on my own. Will put up a recording of it once I perfected it.

And yes, that's me singing the words while playing the chords.

Like Romeo and Juliet,
Against all odds.


Drawing I did a long time ago for a CD cover of a friend.

I want these!!! But they will only arrive in Nov or Dec.... need to place orders for them, though this is just on impulse... perhaps the feeling will fade off as I slowly forget about them....

NERV top and jacket & GundamW Wing ZERO!!!!!! (>_<) I wants!

I haven't been sketching for a LONG while. While clearing out the cobwebs in my room, I chanced upon an A3 drawing block which was used during the still-life art workshop I had during the June break this year.
I was experimenting with shading and lighting. Still needs work. I can't draw noses! ARGH!

I can only draw the standard anime nose. LOL.

XDD

It'll be another decade more before I touch that drawing again. a
