Dried pockets, with a solemn Voilin as my contender


Last week, I bought my long awaited dream-instrument. Its called a VIOLIN. Hurray!


Johann Strauss Jr played it well, Schubert made wonderful tunes with it, Itsyak Perlmann solo-ed it in many performance, and now, Kendrick is learning how to play it!

At first, I couldn't get any decent tune from my bow n strings. It sqeaked like a cock-who-having-a-bad-sore throat. But somehow I got the hang of it.

Just today, I surfed alot DIY-Voilin lessons with pictures n diahgrams showing the basic n proper way to hold a voilin, and how to plays it. Learn quite a few things, n actually was shocked that there are many other things to concern of how to plays, take care and preserve a violin.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They say Violin can makes very fine, smooth supple tune as your bow waltzes on the strings. I personally finds it is rather true, just like playing the piano, you need to concentrate n put alot efforts n feel the tune with ur heart. Otherwise, funny squeaking sound will be heard again once the angle n the speed of the bow is incorrect.

A voilin can really makes a wonderful tune which romances your soul with the most echanting melody.It can oso create a very sorrow tune that human voice are unable to dscribe.

Speaking of sorrow, sigh....Im quite sorrow at the moment. Blame me for miscalculated my money n spent it for fixing my car for RM250. I miscalculated that my pay for my job n my part-time singing salary will arrive by Tuesday. I get to find out that my money only comes to me around 7-10th May. This is really bad when a small potato like me staying in a BIG city like PJ. I miss mama now. How wonderful to be home with a fridge full of food supplies and a loving family to warm my loneliness up!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah! A Violin is the answer! For nearly a decade, I have spent my chilhood in loneliness. Parents never spent much time with me, and I cry alot, weep alot....Mostly infront of my mahogany-colored Piano. Thats why there a deep bond between me n my piano, and thus how my piano skills revived.

Now, again lonely, in a big city facing diffuculties, my new lover, my Violin is here! I have been playing it for a few days till deep late nights in my a place where no one will be able to disturb me. I really thank GOD that He gave me a music talent, which enable me to learn any intrument and understands how to play them well in such a short time.

My 1st song I ever attempt to play was

1. He Leadeth Me

2. Jesus Loves Me

3. As A Deer

4. Fa Ru Xue melody solo (Jay Chou)

So far so good, I can say Im about 50% to play a voilin properly now. Perhaps I will meet someone who knows how to play a voilin properly in my church. And hopefully, he/she is willing to teach me, as well Im willing to trade my Piano or Guitar tips with him/her...Hehehe!

GOD, I seriously need some income tomorrow.....Plz prepare for me....Sigh....
