sound of music

bestnya anak ramai...

remember the old movie - the sound of music? the movie was filmed in 1965, before i was born, but i like it nonetheless.

i love the sound of music. in fact, i have once thought that i have a talent in music. i have fairly sensitive ears, and could easily transfer the tune i have in my mind to instruments. i could play without looking at the notes even though i can read notes very well.

but that has become history... talent yang ada tak dikembangkan! the instruments i like most are the piano and the violin. eventhough i didn't really attend a piano class, i know the keys well. many of my friends in primary school can play piano very well - nina, farlene, tatiana and her sister anna fira, to name a few. farlene rajin ajar i, in fact she played for the school choir group. dulu nak sangat pergi piano class but since we do not have a piano at home, we were not encourage to take the class, susah nak practice. sampai sekarang tangan i geram semacam je kalo nampak piano...

dhuha, actually geram je nak main everytime gi rumah your mum tapi segan ngan your dad! ada juga cakap ngan my hubbyby about buying a piano... kena jeling semacam je... ishh... diam jelah.

i also have an interest in violins. my father can play violin very well, besides having a good voice. pandai berzapin pulak tu (belia contoh - all rounder!). masa year 4 medical school, i planned to take-up violin course for my elective, my friends semua heran... depa kata tak de benda lain ke boleh buat. suka hati i lah nak buat apa pun! i ajak pergi trekking masuk hutan pun my male friends geleng kepala... tu belum ajak pergi mountain climbing! tapi oleh kerana tak de orang yang satu kepala ngan i, terpaksalah i join group ex-mrsm round malaysia buat motivational tour ke mrsm2 seluruh semenanjung, setelah my group's proposal to do an attachment at a children's hospital in Edinburgh failed to get sponsors.

back to music... rasanya sekarang my skill dah banyak berkarat. kalau dulu susah nak sumbang, la ni asyik buat konsert sumbangsih je... the key kat dalam kepala and yang keluar dari peti suara dah tak sama.

the feel to music ni susah orang nak faham, it is not about singing, but the soul of the music itself and its arrangement. yesterday, my niece eda performed on her guitar together with her two male friends (keyboard + vocalist) at prince hotel for her faculty function. how was it edd?

as for me, i still enjoy listening to good music, walaupun dah tak macam dulu. it still makes me smile... humming and singing to the tune, happy and lively.
