Feeling a little blue

Because I didn't go to Jacky Cheung's concert.

S#!^

Damn it!

I actually feel regret of all things! I should have gone regardless of whether I know how to drive to Bukit Jalil. Ergh!!

This morning after coffee and brekky I suddenly had the urge to play the piano. You see, after reading the Girl with Ginger Shampoo's blog, I also felt encouraged to play it.

I hadn't played the piano since...I was Form 5! Of course, sometimes when my bro felt like playing "chopsticks" I will join him. The last grade was halfway through 6 for practical where as my theory was at grade 8 (incredible - I have been scoring High Distinctions since grade 5 theory. I didn't complete it though). The theory teacher is a different person by the way. For some reason theory was kind of easy to score. Please know though that actual composing and studied theory is different.

I still remember my practical teacher (whom I also remembered loves Spandeau Ballet, a band)telling me I had no talent so I need to work doubly hard LOL! Fine. At that time also I didn't have the mood to make so much noise in the house because I had some family problems. So practical was not my favourite. But the teacher was really patient overall. Then SPM came and I quit everything totally. I never looked back since.

But today, I looked through all the photocopied manuscripts and pieces, I played them one by one slowly and nimbly with my "rusted" fingers. I hadn't played it for so long my finger tips hurt. It's gotten too soft to "bang" the keys.

And then I found my Jacky Cheung music book. 2 of my favourite songs in that book just came to me quite naturally. Of course not as good as when I was 17 or 18 years old (that was 9 years ago wey?!!). That's when the feeling of not attending the concert really hit me hard. I felt so sad at that moment. Not only that regretful thought but also the fact that, those were the days when I had trouble at home and Jacky Cheung was the only one I listened to. My whole family kind of loved Jacky Cheung. He really IS Kaw Sun.

I don't know when is the next time he will sing in KL again. :(
