In case you haven't noticed, the song that's playing over and over again from your speaker is THE 'Secret' I have been so obsessed with.
In view of salvaging my deteriorating piano skills, I started learning 'Secret' today, hoping to refresh the part of my brain which controls sight reading and finger movement. Then, to my dismay/displeasure/horror/disappointment and what have they, I concluded that two years of abstinence from piano is NOT GOOD for your brain. Because playing the piano really trains your motor neurone and cerebral sort-of-reflex, not playing piano makes your neurones idle. You know, like those rubber bands, if you leave them idle, lying on the table for a long, long time, the moment you pick them up and try to pull, you'll find that they get so weak that they snap.
I have no idea if you understand the analogy of a rubber band above, but that's what came into mind when I had trouble sight-reading the entire piece with my used-to-be minimum speed possible. Looks like the treshold speed has to be lowered even further for me.
It's either this, or the piece is difficult. But saying it's difficult only serves as an excuse, with little or no credibility because a guy today played the SAME piece WITHOUT the scores at the SAME SPEED Jay Chou played in the movie. That means, Ivy aka Miss Stupidity is really stupid and she sucks at playing piano now.
Which means, to a person who does not admit to defeat easily(OKay, except Maths), I'll make sure I can play.

"It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small, small world"Bumping into so MANY people at so MANY places today just confirms one thing - it's really a small, small world, when practically everybody is liberated from the evil claws of prelims. Among those were: a girl in photosoc whom I know not of her name, Caroline Wong, and a whole lot of people who looked familiar. What can I say but coincidence?
But it only leaves me to wonder. If there are so many coincidences happening in one day, where is that ONE coincidence that I'm looking for? The ONE coincidence I'm waiting for? The ONE I've been hoping(sometimes, when I'm bored) to happen?
Where is the coincidence when I want it?
I start to think, display names can do alot. They do tell alot.
