=(

Am I really that bad? Am I? Fee is not rising and I'm still using the same fundamental book.. Haven't been told to change yet.. which means I play badly during class.. sigh.. =(

guitar is tougher at each stage even beginner lesson.. lotsa notes and notes and place have to kind of memorize not smartly but heartedly =) even so, it doesn't cross me to stop learning it so far.. i knew the moment i bought the guitar i'm in love with it.. guess my fee's going to increase next month >.< luckily now my pay is slightly higher.. with the DSLR i still need to pay monthly instalment =p so which means i have quite a lot to spend on.. but i watch it carefully to make sure i won't overspend. so far i didn't just overbudget because i normally plan to save more money so that i won't easily overspend. with new fee (around 125) camera (around 105) that's almost the same as my ktm fare last time!! lol i'd rather pay for these XD looking forward for confirmation to get a salary adjustment~~~

My Guitar and I again..

Bought guitar CD by Hiroshi Masuda from Japan.. Main reason of buying it was to get his supporter area username and password =) worth it.. I finally got 'Your Song' arranged by him.. What a nice arrangement I must say~ He got something but not as good as Sungha, that's why he's not that famous. but anyhow, I will continue to support him and of course Sungha~ haha. putting effort in my guitar.. wish I could play like them one day.. well, why not right? practice makes perfect. honestly, it becomes harder and harder.. am I told old to learn now? haha.. but I still believe I can do it..

Classical Guitar Lesson #13

Did badly in class today.. It was a simple melody but I can't catch the beat to play with teacher.. Luckily I still managed to do it the very last moment in class just now =.= sometimes, I can do better at home but when I play duet with teacher I run out of beat =.= maybe I'm just too nervous............. haha.. again and again teacher asks me to practice more.. need more time.

Classical Guitar - Lesson #12

Not sure whether my skill has been improved but at least I can feel that I play better than last time.. LOL!.. well, it's a good thing, isn't it? Just that teacher keeps telling me to practice more.. I wish but sometimes after work I really don't feel like touch anything at all.. I'll try my best. Haha.. a lot to practice o.O I love my guitar though.. when can I become an expert? LOL!..

My Guitar and I

Ever since I have my guitar, I don't really feel lonely anymore.. I can feel the fullness of life =)
My guitar and I, we are best friends now~ one day, when I will get a better guitar.. and I will learn piano too =）

Classical Guitar - Lesson #5 & 6

I learned the same exercise in these 2 lessons.. maybe because teacher think that I didn't practice well in lesson 5. Well, i really sucks at counting the time.. it's pretty confusing.. so today teacher asks me to play with heart, guess he notices my problem with tempo. i'll try my best this time.. i have limited time to practice due to work.. learn new chord.. f chord is killing me just now.. i can't press 2 strings with the same finger at the same time.. the melody didn't come out coz i didn't press correctly my second finger touched the first string when i press. i really need practicing more..

p/s: my diet is going on well at the same time.. hmm.. some result.. not much yet coz still pretty early huh.. it's hard but this time i will never give up..! friends, pray for me.. i wanna get as slim as last time =) this time in a healthy and happy way =p

Classical Guitar - Lesson #4

I started to think that guitar is very hard to learn! argh! very hard... my fingers T.T it's been a month! i'm not going to give you up damn guitar! lol! haha.. my left hand fingers are suffering but i like the pain.. anyway i can't feel the pain on my second and fourth finger anymore. today was my fourth lesson, hmm... teacher said i need more practice.. we failed to play duet fluently every time we were about to, i guess that's because i got nervous up every time we played duet! argh! why? because when i play alone i feel ok.. anyway, he gave me some homework, there's few song i need to practice, even though i practice every day but i used around 30 to 45 minutes to practice only, i have time constraint. i need to add up my playing tempo, some songs are slightly higher tempo.. but my fingers -.- zzzzzzz give or take how many months more can i play more fluently? sigh! がんばってください!

p/s: i'm having diet and practicing guitar at the same time =)

My Lover

I'm engaged to my guitar, I just named it Beethoven.. it's my true first love. I'm gonna treasure it a lot =) Just now I accidentally hit it backboard on the table, my heart ache for a while. I will never let it happens again =( Dear Beethoven, I love you~

Classical Guitar - Lesson #3

Today was my 3rd lesson.. learned to play chord today, for a beginner it's quite hard to master.. Argh.. my fingertips are quite painful. i can feel the numbness.. but i'm not going to give up easily.. i'm gonna practice and practice and practice =) haha.. i know C chord, Em Chord and G7 Chord but G7 is super hard because my fingers are too short i almost cannot reach the E string.. -.- when my third finger reaches E string, i have to hold my first finger on the first e string which i have to use some energy to do so, the harder i hold my finger on the first the more painful my fingertip is.. but if i didn't hold harder, everything will be out of tone.. it's not really easy..especially when i have to play with a higher tempo.. phew..

加油加油加油！

Classical Guitar - Lesson #2

Today was my second lesson, I felt great about it but I made many mistakes while playing the melody sounded like I didn't do any practicing. The truth is I did quite regularly! I practice daily but I made mistake on the easiest song! I can't believe that I got nervous in front of the teacher -.- lol.. maybe I just lack of confidence. Never mind of it, I will do better next time it takes time to get perfect. LOL! haha! I'm looking forward for my 3rd lesson already~ Teacher gives me another week to practice the song so that we can duet this time.. Well, the song is really easy to be played, I just scared I'll get nervous and screw up again -.- WELL, I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN =) がんばってくだい！

Classical Guitar - Lesson #1

Today was my first week of learning guitar! It was really really really really fun! I couldn't find a word to describe how great it was, though I was just learning the most basic thing, I knew I was already into it completely! =) I love it! I love it! I love it so so much! I can't believe! I can't believe that I'm learning guitar now! Haha! Someone please calm me down.. okay.. shooooo.. shan.. just be calm.......... phew..

Am I just too overexcited? Haha.. I'm looking forward to next week already~ half an hour is really fast.. lol..

I need more practicing on remembering the notes and the frets... the notes are sometimes confusing for people like me.. without any music background. but I will put 100% of my effort on it. HAHA.. Well, maybe 95% sparing another 5% to rest XD

这一次我一定要学会！

明天就是我第一天去学吉他老实说我真的有点紧张呢！
其实我真的很怕我学不会可是我应该没有那么笨吧。。。
我这次是很认真的！我一定要学会！！！！！！！！！！！！

My Musical Adventure Begins - Registration

After several months of thinking through it, I've finally come to the decision. Thank to my friend, Charmaine. We drag each other all the way. I know if I didn't do it today, I wouldn't be able to learn guitar anymore because I know I don't have the courage and all that, especially I'm too shy at my age compared to others. I really hope I'll be able to learn well this time. GUITAR! I can't deny that part of my inspiration come from Sung Ha. Haha! But other than this reason, I think buying a guitar is much more cheaper than piano.

So today I got up with the thought that if Charmaine didn't message me, I will just give it up this week. She ended up remember to message me, so I said yes to go. So we went to 3 places and we ended up in YAMAHA musical school.. A place that I never thought that I will step into forever. Charmaine gave me the courage. Am I too old to learn musical instrument? *shrug* Apparently, the clerk told us that we're not the oldest students after all but I really doubt it.. All I saw with my own eyes are teenagers and kids. I guess I am the oldest before Charmaine. LOL. and soooooooooooooo, I finally own a guitar, a cheap one of course. I guess it's for beginner like me but still it cost me few hundred bucks included the fees and all that. RM100 per month.

Actually, I was long to learn a musical instrument when I was a kid but my parents cannot afford it and given the records that I have given up on learning few other skill like ballet.. and damn hell, I really missed ballet so much.. sigh.. that's the thing I regretted the most I guess. Other than that, I really really want to have some special skills before I'm too old to learn =)

So here begins my first ever musical adventure... Registration and guitar purchasing... BTW, it's classical guitar that I will be learning! I'm super nervous, I really don't know how to read notes! and it seems super complicated!
