钢琴

今天和老爸老妈喝早茶,遇见老爸一位旧同事。他们以前一起做装修的,那也是好几十年的事了。聊起老爸那时装修时,向一位顾客买下一部钢琴。它,现在就静静地占着家里的一个角落。

 

爸说,那时,那钢琴的主人买了给他孩子,但他孩子碰也没碰过,所以他打算卖了它。 当时也有一个外国人来看,想买它,但那屋主还是卖了给老爸。十六年前的四千块,老爸身上没那么多钱,但屋主愿意让他分期付款。结果,爸就把它买下了。十六年前的我,还不会弹钢琴。。。

 

我还记得,一天,我从幼儿园回来,看见一部全新的钢琴呆在楼梯旁,开心得不得了!东摸摸,西摸摸的。。。不久,就开始学钢琴。

 

就这样,学了又停,停了又学,到了两年前,我停了钢琴课。屈指一算,我应该有一年没碰过它了。。。

 

功课,借口,考试,理由,玩乐。。。我忘了老爸的苦心,along with many other stuff, stuff that I was so lucky to have, stuff that I took granted for, after being blinded by things I couldn’t have. I am starting to remember now, starting to learn to remember, to remind myself, of things that I have, of things that used to be so close to my heart. It is not too late, is it? I believe not…It can never be too late.

 

Which reminds me of an article I saw on the newspaper a long while ago.

 

“世上最傻的男人”

“。。。他第一眼看见你,便不可药救地爱上你。他为了你,不惜辛苦工作,夜夜迟归,为的,只是你的温饱。他为了你,甚至爱你比爱他的妻子更多。他为你的迟归喋喋不休,为你的迟归每秒望钟苦等,他头上的黑发,只为你变白。你懂吗?那男人,就是你老爸~”

铁汉柔情,老爸对外的强悍,对着你那小脸蛋,也派不上用场了。钢琴,应该了解为“钢情”了!

老爸,父亲节快乐!

With love,

KC

Sweet 20th birthday…

Haha, I’ve officially entered the “20s” club! The birthday vibe never really hit me until the day before the big day~ People send messages, wishes and it warms my heart ^^ and then, I realize, apart from everything, I can do whatever I want, just because it’s my birthday…Now, I wish everyday’s my birthday~ (I know I sounded like it’s my first birthday ever, but still…)

 

Alrights, on the very day of my DAY, it’s the internal critique session for my final studio design. So, much to my despise, I need to get to school, ready to get screwed by the other lecturers for whatever wrong I’ve made, run out the door, weeping like a baby…However, long story short, it didn’t happen that way. phew~

 

In the evening, B brought me to Ampang Lookout Point for a dinner. Shella, Zin and Cat came along too, the more the merrier~ It was a nice place, 250m above sea level, overlooking the city, unobstructed. The city centre sparkles before our eyes, drenched in warm street lights and moving headlamps. We had the usual Western food in one of the restaurant, sitting on where used to be Bread & Olive. The food was not that impressive, should have gone with the BBQ combo instead. Anyhow, Zin they surprised me with a slice of cake which they sneak up in Shella’s ‘Doraemon’ bag, and B did the impossible, getting my “The Notebook”…Tears were brimming at the sight of everything…

Here’s the dress from you guys, it’s lovely, thank you~ ^^

 

The day after 11th, Dad treated us to a birthday dinner, since we didn’t get the chance to celebrate together yesterday…

 IMG_9934

Dad picked a cake for me… *^^*

IMG_9936

Ohana-s…

IMG_9940 IMG_9943

In case you’re wondering, that little fellow is my niece…cute, isn’t she?

Alrights (catching a breath), Ave asked me out on the day after the dinner, (yup, it’s like a birthday-celebration marathon, but the one that I actually enjoy ^^ )…

Okay, now, for the forth day of my marathon, Wenz’s turn. After returning from school, I went to Midvalley in KTM. In the hopes that Ladies Coach will ease my ride, I waited. Well, my hope was crushed, no doubt about that. There are dudes in the ladies coach, and sitting on where ladies should be sitting, while ladies were standing, looking on helplessly. WTH…*disappointed*

Thank you guys for much for this incredible birthday…All the warm wishes, sweet presents and great company, I’d enjoyed every bit of it… My heartiest “thank you”~ *bow* haha

TOKIO HOTEL live!!!

*Drool* Last Sunday, Wenz, B and I get to catch Tokio Hotel live! Yes, LIVE!!! I am so alive now… Truth be told, I was never a fan of theirs when they won the VMA years back. I remember myself having a hard time accepting Bill’s extraordinary haircut, but now, I am having a hard time accepting the fact that I am head over heels for them…

 

Wenz initially got the normal ticket for the show, but then, Lady Luck was on our side, she managed to get the VIP ticket and…and the Meet & Greet passes!!! Yup, all thank to her Ben Ben…Thank you,Ben Ben… ^^

 

So, we took off at 3pm, thinking the concert starts at 8pm, which was 6pm instead. By the time we got there, it’s already packed with cars, however, we managed to  find a parking lot as soon as we got into it. We were really, really lucky~ Then, we grab lunch at Fish & Co. and headed straight for the Central Park Avenue. Oh, right, the show was held in One Utama.

Mushroom soup…

IMG_9612

New York Fish ‘N Chips…yum yum…

IMG_9615

Prawn Fettucini, a little too cheesy for me though…

 

The line was so loooong, and so crowded by the time we got there, and the grey sky threatens to rain. It eventually did drizzle, but that was also the time we discover VIPs get to cut queue and stand on an elevated platform throughout the show. *what joy* (Now I know why people would kill for a VIP lifestyle, it’s guiltfully addictive…)

 

The show was opened by Pop Shuvit and Bunkface…And only after much heart-wrenching waiting, Tokio Hotel took centre stage! The two hours wait, filled with desperation and frustration was forgotten right away, at the sight of these four ‘goddess’, as many fans claims. Now, lets let pictures do the talking,eh?

THE QUEUE…

Lounging around inside, waiting for the show to start, which eventually did at 8pm…

IMG_9624 IMG_9625

Here’s the trick…This is the entrance for normal ticket holders…

IMG_9626

And THIS, is the entrance for VIPs…

IMG_9631

Run, people, RUN!

IMG_9633

LOL, the VIP platform…haha, can’t help but to brag about the privileges, bear with me ^^

IMG_9637 IMG_9638 IMG_9639 IMG_9645

There’s security guarding the platform too…

*DROOL*

Another of my favourite shot of the day…

As from left, Tom, Gustav, Bill and Georg…

IMG_9713 IMG_9719 IMG_9730

Amazing…

IMG_9731 IMG_9733 IMG_9735 IMG_9737 IMG_9745

 

The concert, including the opening acts by Pop Shuvit and Bunkface was great. Tokio Hotel was pitch-perfect! It felt like listening to their album on a player, but yet, you see them perform in front of your very eyes… *faint* Some say, their performance is as good as Daughtry’s… Well spoken…

 

One thing though, during the meet and greet, we kept on being hustles by the security/ organiser. It was like one minute you saw Bill, and you’re out the backstage the next minute. But, but, we were told they’ll be back again, SOON…So, hopefully, in another venue, another organiser.

 

I took the liberty of grabbing some clearer pictures from the officials, to make up for my camera’s insufficient zoom…

This is Georg, the bassist

This is Tom, the guitarist. And much to me suprise, Bill’s twin elder brother…

31487_401685263880_167871508880_4140635_4991547_n

And this is Bill, the vocalist~ Gustav is the drummer, but there’s no close-up on him, probably because he’s tucked in way back on stage, hard to get a good angle on him…

31487_401687643880_167871508880_4140662_937473_n

Frowning Bill, somehow I find this very loveable…

 

And last but not least, the meet and greet group picture!!! (Gustav is the second one from the left)… This definitely marks the high point of my day, B’s day and Wenz’s! All I can mumbled was “Welcome to Malaysia…” *sigh*  Cliche, I know…

31487_401687678880_167871508880_4140667_7078661_n

 

Anyhow, that’s it for now…until another great concert lands on my lap, Tchau! (That’s German for ‘Goodbye’ ).

 

Wenz, I have two things to say, “Thank you for the tics” and & “We should have hug ( I hug, you lick) them…

With love,

KC
