Ok so ends my 10+ years of journey in the Classical music realm. Ok I wouldn't really say "end", seeing as I still hope to pick up interesting and nice classical pieces in the future (Bach's 2 and 3 part inventions rank high on the list now. Some are quite simple and are really fun to play). But formal lessons in this area have ended so it might

All the best. And don't worry I was equally irritated by my inability to play a lot of songs. About that materialistic thing, well I guess we all have dreams of living comfortable lives, but I tend to think that middle class is best, like.. Live comfortably in a quiet neighborhood with a chill job, ya know? Probably gets pretty confusing and stressful way up there

To quote my CO (who I was talking to at midnight outfield lulz), 'remember that passions change.'

So.. what's that supposed to mean?

I stopped in J1 after getting 101 or something for Grade 7... till date my parents still grumble that I didn't "complete" Grade 8, but it doesn't actually matter. These days I am playing the piano *much* more than I was when I was formally learning...

Yea! My parents also keep harping about how Grade 8 is like a milestone, blah blah. But to me it just doesnt hold any meaning or significance.

Some days, I see that "a simple life can be happy as well" as a way to console ourselves for not being able to make it big (i.e. a kind of sour grapes). I mean, even if you're rich you can still have that simple life so might as well make it into the position where you can choose.

But honestly, work on uni/scholarships first...
