lst night i had the priviledge of attending a piano finale and a chance to meet up with two pianist from Indon. ( i trust they must have been creme de la creme to be able to represent their country or to qualify to compete ?).
Andy didn't made it to the finals, but he said was really satisfied with this performance because he worked hard and gave his best shot. His simple explanation somewhat rang a new tone in me- i would never hear myself saying these lines. Why i'm hardly satisfied with my work.
well, my side of story ? ( one of the coffee break convy) well, the lame ol' less than 5 to D story... never performed never competed...lazy to memorise...yadayadaya...... i can never be like them !
a. Pat drew this convy aside and advised me to work on the " i can"
" if you think you can't, most likely you wouldn't give all to reach that...u end up in the so-so"
" always aim for the stars, even if you fail, who knows u might fall on the clouds"
i guess we hear these sort of gold nuggets ( S'na coined these advises as gold nuggets ) but allow it to fly pass... but somehow it seems like morning dew to me today ! ( well, i mean ytdy... but it feels so fresh )
Of course not everyone race towards the idea of achieving... but i see beyond that as giving my self a chance. I'll be cheating myself if i keep telling myself i can't or never will be coz u never know? or at least, to hear Andy's echo " i've given my best and i'm satisfied". serendipity ?
i'll bake a cake and bake it well ! [ even though it may not turn out well, but it's still well ( with my soul ) ]

Dear Chihui:
Nice blog you have here. Clean layout, clean contents, clean language... what more can anyone ask for ;-)
Anyway, read somewhere that if a person were to live each day as though it were his/her last, he/she would tend to do things to his/her utmost.
Cheerio!

" only close friends and family remembers..."

Well, I still remember your birthday. In fact, I still remember the clue you gave me last time... "Month of Diamonds, sum of the odd numbered digits lesser than 6. Tuesday..." Will not spit out the day itself as respect for your privacy lah, hor? ;)
Sorry for sounding a bit terminal in that reply. Anyway, many kids around the world are happy just for a square meal, so that would make our birthdays pretty trivial, aye?
