I don't get it....

The only time I close my windows is when I sleep at night with the A/C on or when I'm going out and it is raining. That has been my habit for 24 years, any idiot would have learnt it by now. Unfortunately, my open windows is directly in line with the master bedroom's toilet, so the loo is wide open for the whole world to see unless one closes the loo doors.

I was in the living room playing the piano.

Dad in my room, windows and doors open. He was playing the wii.

Mom went into the loo to bathe, came out STARK naked and started screeching bloody murder at Dad (and later me) for not closing MY room windows because the neighbors could have seen her.

Because of the 'scare', she start verbally abusing me and Dad and started picking on me for the littlest ridiculous things. Like why I hung my jacket at the chair, so untidy. (I WAS JUST USING IT 5 MINS AGO YOU STUPID WOMAN!)


I don't get it.

WHY IS SHE SCREAMING AT US WHEN SHE WAS THE ONE WHO WALKED OUT NAKED??!!

(A woman's mind is a pain to understand) Heh.

P.S this is NOT the 1st time

Your boyfriend?

Imma take the chance that Blogger is werking to mass upload photos. I had this photo as the wallpaper on my iphone and when I was checking my schedule during a lesson, one of the kids leaned in to peep at the phone. When she saw the picture, she went: Your boyfriend?

I nearly died.


Photo in question:


I LIKED THIS PHOTO! LOL!!

Mom's donations

I forgot to post this up earlier. While at Batu Pahat, we dropped by an auntie's relative's home. While slacking a bit, something caught my eye.

Me: Mi, that thing looks familiar....

Mom: Ya lo, ours last time, I give it to them.

Me:.....

This is the object in question:
No no, not the TV, look beside it....

WHAT THE HELL IS OUR OLD KARAOKE SYSTEM DOING IN MALAYSIA?!

Road Trip to Batu Pahat

Mom and Dad have been pestering me to go with them to see the "VERY BIG FISHES! CAN TOUCH ONE!" So I agreed to go with them today. About 1-2 hours drive from the JB check point, we arrived at the chinese temple where the fishes are.




While they were praying and all, I was just poking around and I saw the VERY BIG FISHES! And DAMN ARE THEY BIG!




The fishes here are famous for giving people good luck if they manage to touch them, that's why everyone is snapping their backs into two trying to touch one. Not sure if it is true, but Dad managed to stroke one from head to tail in his last trip and he has been quite lucky. Even a few aunties also struck 4D.

Anyway, those fishes look so menacing, I just HAD to touch one myself. Managed to stroke one and contrary to what they look like, they are so gentle~ and their scales feel like silk~ So nice~

After that, we hit a shopping mall, got some barang barang and headed home. 11pm. Sleepy.

Happy holidays everyone.

No Goal?

Here's a scary thought: There isn't an end to piano playing is there?

I have been doing a bit of playing, a little here and there to clock in some time in between stoning, teaching, gaming, reading and what-not. Today while waiting for my next student, I dabbled a little melody out of my aging piano and it hit me.

How does one tell if they have really mastered a song?

I did learn a few pieces, but I'll never call them mastered. Too many mistakes and the fact that I am still reading from sheets tell me as much. And the songs I have learnt are just but 0.00001% of the many pieces out there.

No end in sight.

Some people say I play well, others, (including me) think I play crap.

Welp, a step at a time, I suppose it doesn't matter whether I can master the songs I want as well I hoped, but if I tried, I think it should be good enough.

Time to consider changing a piano. Though I love this Kawai, it's getting on in age. Booo....

It's the genes

The source of my trademark 'muahahaha's and sadism has finally been revealed. Dad suddenly went "Mua ha ha ha ha" when he did well at wii-bowling today. And he apparently enjoys making his wii AIs tumble and somersault after the wii-tennis ball just for the fun of it.

Sadist.

Even I am not that bad.

Wii-bowling

For Mas: Wii Sports has tennis, bowling, baseball, golf and your favorite, boxing. XD

Dad is addicted to wii sports: bowling, we've been having midnight bowling sessions the past few days. (I prefer the tennis myself.)

Midnight bowling in progress.

(Yep, that's a 'long kang ball, by dad. Heh.)

Weekend bowling in pjs.

Mom dislikes the wii, says it makes her sweat. -.-'' (But that's the point, ainnit?)

I think I need to buy another controller one of these days. Dad keeps whacking the main controller against stuff when he bowls. I think he forgets he's holding a sensitive piece of equipment instead of a ball. *heartpain*

I'm turning into a geeky toy lover!!

Piano Apps

My adult student showed me an app on an iphone that makes her practise her note-reading speeds. I thought that was pretty handy so I started mass downloading piano related free apps. Easy way to search is itunes > app store > power search > piano

Here is a quick rundown of which to keep and which to trash.

Amazing Piano Free: Interesting but useless in real-life practice.

Any Sound Piano: Just 14 keys. I have no idea what it is for.

Burp Piano: Don't bother.

Drum Piano: Umm... don't bother again.

Farm Piano: D.B (Don't Bother).

Virtuoso Piano Free: This is more like it for fiddling around with, but with a range of only an octave per page, it is hard to play anything.

Let em play lite: Again, D.B

Meow Piano: D.B (Why did I dld this?)

Mini Piano: Again, just 8 keys. D.B

Musician's Practice Journal Free: Interesting, keeps track of practice time and you can record the songs needed to be practised, complete with BPM. The paid version might have more stuff packed in.

Piano Music Reading Free: This is fun, goal of game is to name all the notes in the set time. Many of them are ledger notes. Good stuff for an app.

Pocket Piano Song Universe Lite: Interesting, though a pain to play the songs.




Conclusion: Pianos aren't meant to be put in an iphone, though some apps are useful in the very least for students. Musician's Practice Journal and Piano Music Reading are particularly note-worthy.

Bigass

Gigantic candyfloss yesterday. I'll never look at sugar the same way again.

Why Gin should be banned from IT fairs

Because new toys are just more fascinating than diamonds.


And diamonds won't make me laugh as bad as when I was trying out the wii boxing with Dad.

I didn't even have that on my to buy list: (Laptop bag, iphone all in one car charger, portable harddrive, mac and new iphone pouch) Ended up itching for:

Eneloop batteries and charger (SAVE THE EARTH!)
Cheap in-earphones
wii/ps3 games (even though I had neither console)
1 TB external harddrive (It was only going for $149!)

Did get a silicon cover for my mac keyboard ($15)
and a cute Belkin skin for my iphone ($8)All in all, a very fun day. Though the crowd was a little insane.

P.S Mom's being all emo. Think she feels that Dad lets me have my way too often. But hey, at least I pay for my toys. Half of wiika (I'm calling it that) anyway. (I'm sharing this with Dad) Heh heh heh heh heh....
