Hi. I’ve actually just uploaded a video of my playing Chopin’s Prelude No. 15 which is also known as The Raindrop Prelude, a name given by I-don’t-know-WHO? It isn’t that good yet; I WILL make it good or else, I could imagine Chopin shaking his head, disagreeing and frowning at my playing. There are three obvious mistakes that I made. The first is, I hesitate about some notes which suggests that I don’t know the piece by heart yet. Second is I forgot a few notes before the modulation from sharps to flats but I manage to continue playing. Third is, I played a section wrongly (where there are ten notes in one beat). I WILL work harder.

 

 

Okay. Enough about piano. I haven’t updated anything about our trip to Penang. It was at first, not so fun because I got homesick already while I was still on the train to Penang. As soon as we got there, I still couldn’t believe that I was in Penang, so I didn’t know how I feel. I haven’t been on a vacation with no family members at sight before so it was a bit of a shock to me. But after a while, everything was okay. I did a lot of thinking and reflecting about the decisions that I made recently, without any outside influence at all-no TV, no Internet, no Laptop (I mean videos/movies in the laptop to influence me), no family, no piano. I was away and I could think clearly there. So, I’d like to thank Shaza for her endurance of putting up with my annoying attitude during the trip; to Azie, the beautiful bride, for finding a place for us to stay; to Nashy, Aina and Kown who made the trip more enjoyable; to Diana for worrying about us; and to Nana for being our tour guide for the night. All in all, it was such a great learning experience-The experience of sleeping on the train, of using the toilet on the moving train (can you imagine that?), of eating Penang signature cuisines, of missing the train back to KL, of staying in an empty house and of borrowing an unknown neighbour’s iron! haha…

 

Okay, here are some pictures from the trip. More pictures can be viewed in Nashrah’s FB album.

 

We were at Georgetown White Coffee :)
