You are the Music in Me

Although I'm not that into facebook, but sometimes I do log in to check up some stuff once in a while. There was a friend request and to my surprise, that person was my ex-piano teacher! Omfg..! She started playing it just recently. There are hardly any people from this age group who use facebook and msn. She's so sporting. Haha!


It was back to those days when she used to come to my house to teach me piano until the day I took my final piano exam. I started playing piano when I was 11 yrs old. Even though it was kinda late, but at least I was still able to learn it and I'm really glad I did too.

Back then, I was more of a shy, naive little girl than I am now. I was the nerd in school and always got bullied by my own schoolmates.

  • I used to being chased by this boy and his gang all over the school.
  • I once took rm20+ from my dad's drawer because she threatened not to give me back my sailormoon stickers collection.
  • I was always feeling lonely as most of my classmates ignored me.
  • I had to hide myself at one place during break because I was always being followed. It was extremely annoying.
  • I had to pretend like I didn't care when these 3 people did something unexpected in front of me.

But things changed when I turned 12. I started to get closer to my own friends. Believe it or not, those people who bullied me became my close friends. So many things had happened when I was in primary school. I don't know why I can even rmb it still.

So so, she saw through the quiet side of me and she molded me into loving music after some time. We did exchange music sheets occasionally; hers was the Chinese songs while mine was the anime songs. She is always the one who strikes up conversation to keep me talking. Other than that, she used to encourage me a lot before exams, especially when I became the first candidate. Not to forget when we did during oral practice. ^^ My sister and I also went to her house once for a small party with her other students. It was great.

I didn't know she placed a great impact on me until the day I told my interviewer (IELTS). Of all people, I immediately thought of my piano teacher.

To think that I actually dread going for her classes each time. I'll never have that chance anymore. No matter how much I hate those songs, I still had to practice to play them in front of her. Now, I rarely finish the whole song and the piano has not been touched by me for a long long time.

She gave me the whole collection of FFVIII original music sheets to me last time but I lost the book.

T____________T

I used to be so crazy of final fantasy, thanks to yiingku's friend. In fact, FFVIII is the first game that I played when my dad bought me a ps.
The song now in my blog is my favourite, not this version though. It's a song that I find truly touching and the only song that I'd memorized.

I tried memorizing others, but I just can't seem to do it. I played this song in front of some of my college friends before, 2 of them could feel the song, and they knew that I like it a lot.
I guess I only set my feelings on this.
