how i made my millions

this song..this song just thugs at my heartstrings..

Radiohead - How I Made My Millions


i booked out yesterday afternoon and havent been doing anything productive so far..i started on harry potter last night and read till page 90..i shall continue on later after this.haha.

so anyways i was clearing up some stuff on my table in my room and i found a whole stack of about a hundred piano scores that i so passionately collected in my JC days to play..i've never learnt to play the piano but i had about 14 years of electone(keyboard) background so well it wasn't too hard to pick it up. you might be thinking that the piano and keyboard's kinda similar and that the only difference was that one had two levels and one had one..well i thought so too but until i started on playing classical and contempo piano songs on the keyboard did i realize how different they were..different styles..different scales..different emphasis.

so yes it took me quite a while to pick it up but i did so eventually in a couple of weeks and soon i was off to printing and photocopying my favourite coldplay, radiohead, etc piano pieces to play at home..i tried one classical piece..moonlight sonata first movement and it was quite a joy to hear yourself playing such a sweet piece.

so yes! back to what i was saying..i found a stack of these almost-forgotten pieces and played them for a while just now;)feels really nice to know i haven't really lost my touch after so long in the army..and yea i played "how i made my millions" and "fog" and a couple more before i stopped.

sometimes i feel that people(including myself) read too much between the lines..they imagine up stuff..imagine that there's some meaning to this all when there isnt actually..because well we all want to have that sense of security yes? we all want to feel that we are worth more than we really are..we want to feel important..useful and appreciated. i found a perfect example to illustrate this point..there's this song called "karma police" by radiohead and it seems to be so deep..so full of meanings and thoughts and what..people were interpreting it like mad coming up with all the different theories as to why thom yorke wrote this song and what message he was trying to put across.finally when they did ask him personally what the song meant..his reply was - "nothing..it was just putting together a bunch of words that sounded nice together" it's hilarious.i can imagine the looks on those people's faces.

likewise for this song i went online to search out the "meaning" of this song and there were a million versions as to what the song truly meant.

i usually listen to the songs i like not so much for the meaning of it..but for the ~music~ if you know what i mean.and i'm gonna continue doing so.ha.

okay i just saw this pic on the net and i thought it was cute.HA.talk about multi-tasking huh.haha.



well life for me in the next few weeks is gonna be quite easy and realxed..i'm starting to enjoy the life maaaan.haha.i've got the army half marathon race next sun and boy am i scared..freaking scared..i have race day nerves if you know what i mean..it's like 21km! you screw up the first 5km and it's gonna be pure torture the whole way.argghhhhh! okay shan't think about it anymore..plus plus we have to wake up at 3am to get ready cause the race starts at 5.30am.talk about early man.it's mother-early.ha.okok don;t think about it anymore!
