Revolving stars

Realised that it has been a pretty long while since I have updated about my piano lessons. Yes, I'm still continuing my weekly lessons at West Coast area, with some absenteeism here and there. Obviously, I'm not progressing as much as I should, seeing how I do skip practice *ahem* pretty often. However, I really can see a definite improvement in playing, especially when I return back to the old pieces that I played a while ago. Now that I'm at grade 3 lessons, I can pick up grade 1-2 pieces pretty quickly (depending on the length and difficulty of the pieces - I'm still pretty bad at the ornaments). Currently, I'm doing Fur Elise and Spinning Song, together with Long Long ago from the Piano Pieces for children (green colour book). I quite like this book as there are many pieces where I can recognise the songs, which helps in my playing. Alan Chan (from youtube) also did the covers for the book (if I'm not wrong), which is very very helpful if you want to...

After waiting for ten million years, we finally got our keys! :D Since we had waited so long, we kind of sneaked into the house even before we did the rolling of pineapple and what not tomorrow later. Never knew that home renovation is such a tedious thing. All those time spent on contractors, IDs, etc..@@ Hearing the stories about how couples quarreled like mad during the renovation period, I'm glad we are not one of those (or maybe not yet). The only grumble that PL has for now is that the house is too small, but I think I'm perfectly fine with it. Smaller house equates to lesser cleaning, which is good for everyone!
