New Yamaha Keyboard!

I've just bought myself a new Digital Keyboard for myself to use as a tool for my piano lessons that I recently took up!

It was pretty cool and I had a lot of fun fiddling with all of its settings and the keyboard sound samples. Been a long while since I'm so excited about something great for myself. Almost as if I'm ready to rock myself out of this world.

Now that I have my own instruments to play, it's like one major item being checked off the list of things I have to do for my life. And the next step.... improve and live my dream... To be a musician.

And on top of that, I was surprised with my mum's reaction to my new keyboard. She was happy that I'm buying something useful for myself and she let me know about something that I was even more surprised about her is that she always loved people who are able to play piano and hoped for me to work hard for my aims and dreams.

In the past, my mum used to be disapproving of what I love to do for music and any other stuffs that I used to do for anything that had to do with art. Hence I never got a chance to go for any music, vocal, drama or even arts lessons whenever there was an opportunity that came up. Because of how financially burdened my family used to be and as a result, performance art was deemed as something that couldn't fetch any bread for our family. As time goes, the passion for it dies down.. in a sense... it took another direction and I ended up as a designer instead.

But in the recent years, I've rekindled my passion for music again and seeing as I'm able to fend for myself, I've decided to devote more of my own money and efforts to start myself out as a musician.

It's pretty sad that now I'm starting really late compared to those much younger and talented musicians out there. So seeing this change of heart of my mum has actually encouraged me further that I should not give up despite me starting late as a musician.

As I've always believed that there's no limit to who can learn new things, I shouldn't be defeated by this and focus more on honing my own musical skills so that I can stand on the same stage as those other artistes out there, and share my own style of music and tell stories that I've longed wanted to tell.

And as of right now, this is going to be a new phase to my plans for my future.

Till then, God Speed!
