Music

"Music is all around us, all you have to do...is listen."
Quote from an amazing movie 'August Rush'

Music has been in my life since...forever.
The time when I really got to know crotchets, quavers etc etc was at a very young age.
5 years old to be exact.
My mom introduced me to this wonderful world of music.
And I'm always in this world ever since...
My mom was my tutor.
She makes sure that I practice playing the piano every single day
That my fingers are not flat, and that I enjoy it.
To be honest, I didn't enjoy it.
Because of all the punishment if I don't play it correctly or not looking at the book.
But that was many years ago. While I was nothing but a young beginner.
It's my 11th year now, learning and continue to play the piano.
I remembered that I always wanted to stop learning because of all the harsh punishment.
& I'm not the one who begged my mom to let me learn.
It was all planned out since I was born, that music must be a part of my life.

After struggling from a young beginner, I am now a Grade 8th student and ready to go for my Diploma.
I am proud to say that I never failed my practical test, and better than that, I always scored High Honors and Distinctions.
I was one of the Honored Students in my music school.
I am also one of the ABRSM High Scorers and was invited to play at Yayasan Sabah by the music board itself.
I am one of the best in Sabah... when I was Grade 5.
I had my own piano recital, solo performance.
These are all those achievements that I got.
& everyone was saying how talented I am.
But honestly...I'm not sure bout it.

All I can say now is. I wished that God will show me the way.
And tell me what I should do.

XOXO,
Nathalie
