thanks all who wished me and bought me presents :) i honestly love every single one of them. hope i didn't present too-hard a challenge in buying something suitable for me haha (i had my share of experience in present-buying, too.)
something amusing: i got an exact same gift twice haha :P luckily it's not a book or a cd ('this is the one'? HAHA. i recall jeff bought me a cd during his trip to china 2 years back, which i already owned. i gave it away lol!)
this coming-of-age thing didn't strike me, until an ri student greeted me with 'sir' on facebook.
ARGH. i'm of age!?
I AM A MAN!
MAN!
geez. what a mould to fill. i mean! i AM one, but being referred to as a 'man' has a connotation of being an alpha male, which i'm sadly not quite one (yet?)
so, i have always thought of myself as a boy. maybe that's why i find it really really fun to chit-chat with (*er hem!* ONLY SMART) students. makes me feel youthful.
sigh! damn, there's only 2 months left to enjoy time. actually, about a month plus. if i remove the time spent on work and upcoming orientation camps. so, what have i done thus far? (oops.)
AIMS FOR JUNE 2009:
1. kick start my exercising again
2. crash course myself on photoshop cs4
3. play through my new piano books :D and pick up some pop and rnb acoompaniment for improvisation from there.
4. draw and sketch anything with my new pens and pencils (thanks!!)
5. read my new architecture books (thanks guys!)
6. buy new clothes for university. i'm a MAN now so i must buy MANLY clothes ok! harhar.
oh ya, should ask around if there's any good fully written jazz music books i can learn from. figured out i should just learn by playing from scores, then just improvising on my own. since i learned basic pop improvisation (left hand broken chords, having a ear for chord progressions) that way :) save my money on piano lessons.
