Listening to Mandarin pop songs always reminds me of myself 4 years ago. I would say I was 'alive' during that period of time, partially because of me doing something which I love -music. I play organ since the age of 5, self learn piano and guitar and been very interested in learning to sing like a professional. At least, that is something I really want to be good at.
Joining and learning music composing at Lwssom (Lee Wei Song School of Music) was one of the highlights of my life. I've met wonderful, great, friendly and very talented people there; and I recognize them as another part of my family. Getting invovled in doing music with them was a wonderful journey, learning to sing and compose from the talented ones was so enjoying because we were producing art which we were genuinely love to do. Of course, I performed on stage with them. It was an honor, seriously; to be on stage and actually became a pianist while they sang the song. I still can remember the times we performed rehearsal, devoting time to make the song and performance to a better quality, and actually spent most of the day or at least half a day at the studio to perfect our perfomance. Damn I miss those days. I miss doing things I love, though I've already lost the inspiration to do so. Partially because I'm already at a different path of life, I have other things in mind to think about, I'm literally burried with Uni work... I'm literally different from what I was 4 years ago. At least, right now I'm venturing into something which I like to do - Kendo. Yes, a complete different spectrum from music. Still, they're both arts... haha, martial arts and music as arts. Damn I should have be an artist/composer or at least in the enterainment industry. Well, reality does not work that way. Because I know, I am not that good to get into the industry, my composing skills are lacking what they pursue to be as excellent. Still, I still enjoy and love composing.
4 years later, we're at different path. How I envy my ex-coursemates from LWSSOM who are still in pursuit of their dream. Seeing them joining various competition, getting contracted by record companies really made me in awe, and proud of them! I wish them with all the best, and excel in their career as artists, you guys have my 200% support, you guys are my idol.
