Catching Up On May-Time
Catching Up On May-Time *plays NSYNC It's Gonna Be Me*
Hi there,
It has been a month since I last blogged, reason being I needed to catch up with myself. It’s been constant work for me for the first quarter of the year and I decided to take some time off on my birth month 🙂 It’s May-time. *plays NSYNC It’s Gonna Be Me*
I hit a creative block and just wasn’t happy with what I was doing, the stale routine of going to work, lessons and teaching. I…

Hello Spring! :) Post-exam destress in the great Spring weather during the Easter break!
Hi guys,
After being away from blogging for about a month now. It feels good to finally have time and the inspiration to blog again. Let me catch up with what’s happened so far in my life.
I have sat my ARSM (Associate of the Royal Schools of Music) Piano Diploma Exam and unexpectedly got a distinction result. I was completely over the moon when I found out! Yay me, I’m so glad that’s out…

Falling Off Track... Still Lost and Searching
Falling Off Track… Still Lost and Searching
Hi there,
Lately, I’ve fallen off track with most things in my everyday life. I lost track of my purpose and found it hard to get back on track personally.
I’ve tried to search for answers through reflections, prayer and going out but I just felt disconnected to everyone and everything.
Deep down, I still lacked something and I wasn’t finding joy in what I was doing.
I guess it’s normal to feel…

Practicing Away from the Piano
Practicing Away from the Piano
The first time I have heard of this concept was last summer when I attended the Royal Conservatoire’s Piano Summer School. It’s such an interesting concept and it’s quite helpful before entering performances.
I usually have the music score out and follow my whole programme all the way through. It’s as tiring as playing it physically! Focussing on the quality of sound and being musical and…

I came across this on Facebook, and I have never laughed so hard in a long time after watching this young guy. Some things he said were true, if not, all. Such a natural at this.

Making the Conscious Decision of Doing Nothing
Making the Conscious Decision of Doing Nothing When was the last time you done nothing as in no worrying, no stressing and just.... being??
Hi there,
I wanted to ask you this: When was the last time you made a conscious decision to make time for yourself to relax do nothing?
If a million thoughts ran through your mind reading this, like perhaps:
“Do nothing? I barely even have time to do this, this and that.”
“Relax? I cannot relax, I have many deadlines to meet.”
….and probably many more, that I can’t think of.

Exam Preparation Mindset: I'm Calm, I'm Ready & I Can Do This
Exam Preparation Mindset: I'm Calm, I'm Ready & I Can Do This This is the most prepared I have been. I'll let all the years of hard work speak for itself :)
Hi there,
As you all know I’ve a Piano Diploma Performance exam to prepare for and I’ve had a bit of a slump and panic last week. The constant worrying and overthinking, clouded mindset which prevented me from having an effective practice and focus during Piano lessons.
That’s all changed now! YAY! I’ve overcome that stage and now I’m in a calm phase before the performance. I’ve accepted…

Adulting: What Social Life?
Adulting: What Social Life? *screams*
Rare Social Life
Adulting.
Did the idea of adulting scare you? It definitely scares me. We’re out pursuing our own careers and soul searching – it feels like we’re thrown out into the deep end and that we have to figure it out for ourselves.
With the pressure from your peers, you see them getting married, having children, graduating and securing their first full-time jobs. Sometimes,…

Hi guys,
I’m currently preparing for my ARSM (Associate of the Royal Schools of Music) Piano Performance Diploma Exam this April.
How’s it going? I’m losing hope….. motivation……. and patience………
This always happens a fortnight before my performances, I get a sudden dip in motivation and I don’t seem to connect with what I’m practicing. Every time you force yourself to practice, it does…

Hi guys,
Sorry I haven’t been keeping up with updates on my blog lately.
It’s the Lent period, so I’ve decided to go off Instagram and Twitter and focus more on my work. It’s a time of reflection for me and to get closer to God in prayer and community service. I’ve also cut down on sugary drinks and snacks as well asj…
