recently, i've been searching all over the net for piano scores and classical pieces that sound etheral.

don't know why i've suddenly developed this hobby. but i do enjoy playing the piano very much. i love letting my fingers run through the keys and how individual notes can woven into a beautiful piece of music.

when i'm sleepy, i'd play the piano. when i want my mind to be empty of all thoughts, i'd play the piano. when i don't feel like studying, i'd play the piano.

i'm really grateful for the piano. as well as my mom who signed me up for lessons when i was a kid. who knew that i ended up liking it. when i was a kid, i dreaded every piano lesson. then a few years ago, i rejoiced when i quit. it was only last year that i started picking it up again. and i believe it was because of sicheng.

i used to visit sicheng often, almost during every weekend. the first few times i went over, we'd always be by the piano. she'd be playing (like a real maestero!) and i'd just sit by the side and watch in amazement as her fingers quite literally flew over the piano keys. i'd never seen anyone play as fast as she does. at least not up close. yep, so that spurred me to start reviving my long lost piano playing skills.

i must say it wasn't easy picking up something i've not touched in about 3 years. but i'm glad i did. it's weird huh? i'm now liking something i used to dislike. actually, i don't think i disliked playing the piano ever. it was more like i disliked learning a new piece. which means it's out of pure laziness.

so, i'm grateful for sicheng for that too. man, i miss her.
