sucks.!

yea. depressed.

sometimes i realli hate this kinda attitude of mine.

i am greedy.

i have little determination.

this is best reflected in mine guitar learning. i play abit of many things. but. ask me to perform a nice complete piece....

yar. i can't.

remember 2 days ago. jiahong and i went to this coffee shop in toa payoh to have dinner. we were carrying our guitar as we justed finished our guitar club practise. as we walked across the coffee shop. one uncle was looking at us. veri interestingly. as we decided to eat there. we put ours stuffs down on the table and looked around. to mine suprise. there is a guitar at the front of the carrot cake stall.

jiahong decided to order carrot cake. 5 mins later. the carrot cake was served. the uncle upon serving the carrot cake asked us abt our guitar.

'issit electric guitar.?'

' nope. its classical guitar. uncle. u play the guitar also right.? is the guitar at the front of the stall yours.?' i replied.

'yar. its mine guitar. a hand-made guitar. i will show it to you.' he said with a beam in his eyes.

upon finishing his sentence. he quickly went to retrieve his guitar and sat down beside us. he first offer me his guitar and asked me to try it. he introduced the guitar as a hand-made guitar made in canada for a price of 300 bucks. he asked me to play something....

********************************

omg. what can i play.?

mine mind turned into a total blank.

than i started doing stupid things on the guitar.

i started playing classical pieces on a acoustic guitar.....

.........romance de amor............

i started playing licks and scales which showed nothing of me.

i felt like i know nothing abt guitar at that point of time.

i felt total shame.

shame on u. JJ.

so. the best way is to return the guitar back to him. upon receiving back his guitar. he said he would play a few songs for me.

he started singing.

his plucking was damn ultra zai.!!!!!

he said he play guitar as a past time hobby. all his skills were self taught and he plays by the ear. by listening.

once again.

shame on u. JJ.

later. a customer came and he had to go and fry his carrot cake. i also decided to end mine meeting with him as it abit late.

i shooke his hand. he introduced himself as dillion. and asked for mine name. he even asked me to drop by often to play guitar with him. but i dun stay in tt area.

i salute him.

uncle dillion. your passion for the guitar has indeed touched me.

so. must start doing something. from now onwards. i am going to start finish learning all the pieces that i learned half-way be it due to wadever reason.

hotal california.

rosita.

romance de amor.

.....and many more.....
