The Love Of Warm Water

I just came back from Harbour City just now. Reason? I was there to watch Kenan's performance =) He's here as guest performer for Electone Festivals tomorrow. To those who's not sure who Kenan is, his full name is Kenan Loui Widjaja, from Indonesia. He was the winner of Yamaha Electone Concours and Asia Pacific Electone Festivals in 2008. He also performed with his group of friends call Young Boys in Idonesia Got Talent. It's been so long I have last seen any electone performances since I came here. It was great and nice meeting Kenan, he's such a nice guy =) Will update some videos soon~! For now, enjoy some photos of him and Stagea~ =D

I have been learning electone for 3 years+++ I guess I have very much improved in the sense of playing especially my pedalling skills. Now my left leg is even more lively then my right leg, it was the other way round years ago~ Thanks to pedal training, haha! Let see, since last year, I have managed to play a few harder songs, although they're not perfectly played but I'm still happy I manage to play them! Years ago I would say those songs are just unplayable for me =P Some songs list : 1. I've been working on the railroad (orchestra version) - Grade 6 2. Back To Future - Grade 6 3. Alvamar Overture - Grade 6 3. Voyager - Grade 5 *prouds* etc. Now I am thinking to get my hand on that 50th Year Anniversary electone theme song! Someday My Prince Will Come. But it look soooooooo hard, I took 6 months to learn Ayura last time when I first started, this one...about so? >.<""

I've previously ordered a Yiruma Piano book from Korea via Ebay. It's here!!

This year APEF will be held in Singapore =D It'll be held at the University Cultural Centre of NUS on the 17th Sep 2011 (Sat), 3.30pm. The price of the tickets will be SGD20 & SGD30 (w.GST) It'll be sold through SISTIC outlets somewhere during this month. Do keep an eye on it! So, anyone going?

Watched this awesome movie recently. Music and drums (snare especially) fans, do check this out =) A movie about marching bands.

Recently I have seen some APEF 2009 videos online. Posted by the players themselves, I think. I believe there's official video released. Hopefully to see all of them =)

check out this page , i haven't translate it but generally this device enable your EL models electones to use USB pendrives =D

靈光 曲/詞: 藍奕邦 編: Ted Lo 監: 藍奕邦 伍仲衡 徐繼宗 這驅殼和肉身 總會 難逃避必經的耗損 愛是會超越短暫生存 並無一息間斷 無需 來為誰唏噓 來讓晨光蒸發掉剩餘眼淚 隨風去 都揮之不去 再不要靠近釐定散聚 頭上一絲黑髮隨年漸白 懷內一顆心跳緩緩靜下 呼吸 停頓 偏卻 從未 吹熄 熊熊地亮照的火把 如若真的相信輪迴的話 還未急於觸碰霎眼煙花 此刻 離別 且看 生命 昇華 耀眼得叫誰也跪下 即使挽留在手 轉眼 如塵劃遍了宇宙 美麗放心頭永垂不朽 哪用緊握佔有 靈光 如遁形的光 從未停止普照著大地蒼茫 提醒我 放下我的悲愴 尚要繼續尋覓沿途風光 頭上一絲黑髮隨年漸白 懷內一顆心跳緩緩靜下 呼吸 停頓 偏卻 從未 吹熄 熊熊地亮照的火把 如若真的相信輪迴的話 還未急於觸碰霎眼煙花 此刻 離別 且看 生命 昇華 誰話過祗得一剎那 心間 留住 這片 鮮艷 光華 我更加堅強過活吧 I haven't been listening to Pong's songs since his songs became more commercialized. So I didn't go thru all his song from his last album. I heard his new album is coming out soon. And I went to listen to some of his previous album songs, and I found this song, pretty sad one. Looking forward for his next album =)

Been practising this song from Yasuyuki Kasori 7-6 book. Took me so much time but still can't perfect this song!!! I love it very much, very nice arrangement of this children song which I think most of you guys will recognize! 9 pages~~~ @.@ I cant memorize it, my leg can't keep up properly...arrrrrrrr~~ Still need some time~ Used ELS data on ELB-01. Voice was edited abit. Here's a higher grade version of the song that i found on youtube.

I'm gonna have sweet dreams with music, orchestra and HIM in it~~ Sooooooo energetic and lively conductiong ^______^ haha! Krzysztof Urbański~ hopefully to see you soon!

It's been a long time since I last bought any music CD or even step into a music store and look properly. I did that last weekend. Spent almost an hour at a music store in Sg Wang - Victoria Music Centre, really a lot CDs there. And I saw Joshua Bell's CD, omg, was so surprised~ There's even David Garrett, Lang Lang, Lee Yundi, Ryuichi Sakamoto and a lotttt of classicals albums. It's a normal music store that sells a lot of pop music, mind you. I found treasures!! Will get more in the future months T_T Oh, which reminds me, long time I didn't practice "killing chickens" haha~ slacked

Was cleaning up a bit, and took a pic of these =P From 2007 to 2010...booklets of EF and APEF~ How time really flies... Notice the standardized design of our recent EF booklet? And the sizes thru-out the years =P

I realized how long I did not really write anything. But actually until today, I am still not in the mood of writing a proper post. Oh well, many things have happened since I suppose. Some of the matter, I'm still trying to get control over it. Some I'm trying very hard to accept it. Some I'm just working really hard, but may never understand it. Is all about trying and trying? I guess. I close my eyes, sometimes flashbacks happens. Reminding me how time really flies. Reminding me how I have take some things for granted. Reminding me how I should listen to myself more. Sometimes, I close my eyes, I imagined the future. How I will be. Will I shine? I don't remember how I fell so deep in love with the place I want to go so much now. And yet, I see things disappearing before me. What can I do? My mood is so gloomy and grey now even playing a lively song doesn't cheer me up. What should I do? Oh well, I guess time will do its magic again... Oh anyway, on a lighter note....

After all the hardwork and practices. We rocked at Yamaha Band Idol 2010~! Well done guys! It was suppa fun~~!! Here's a video of our performance =)
