love of guitar

Shall blog something random.

And the title shall goes: Why did i started learning guitar?

Initially, i was not interested in guitar at all. I was totally inspired by 徐佳莹 from 星光徐佳莹大道第三季. She plays the guitar and compose her own songs for competitions. How cool is that? She left me a really good impression of girls playing guitar and composing songs.

If not for her, perhaps now, i might still be using laptop the whole day doing nothing worthwhile. Ever since i noticed her in 星光大道第三季, i made up my mind to learn and play guitar and be like her. At that time, my bro already had a guitar of his own and he has self-learned himself. So when i told him, i wanted to learn and play guitar, he just tell me i will sure give up after 3 months. This make me feel even more determined. I told him i wont and i will have patience in learning. lol.

the video that make me started learning;

So i started to self-learn myself, searching the net for the must-learn basic chords, such as C,G,Am,Em,F. All were hard. I didn’t know the fingerings, i dont know how to press, i dont know which string to pluck, i dont know how to strum. The G and F chords were especially hard to press.

So after learning basic chords, i move on to try a song and i tried 逆光-孙燕姿. Totally sucks. Lyrics and tune don’t match, messy tempo, unacceptable strumming, awful singing.Yes, i was bu zhi liang li, but try try mah. That moment makes me sian-ed , but the phrase “practice makes perfect” hang in my head. I know for sure, i would improve myself. And now, somehow, i think i make it somehow, at least i can press well, strum better, sing better,tempo just right. At least. Browsing through her videos was a routine.

当她出现在我人生当中，我被激发了。我下定决心， 一定要把吉他练好，要自弹自唱。

After that, i started to get notice of 盧廣仲( Crowd Lu)after 徐佳莹 sang with him in the competition.

WAH, didnt know he is a composer cum guitarist too until saw him with 徐佳莹 on youtube. Seeing the chords he pressed and sang made me wow. The chords he played are a killer man and moreover, he composes his song too. Though his singing and er, looks was just about average, his guitar playing boost him up. god. ADMIRED.

Two of a kind= best combi.;

Geek look yet guitar pro.lol.fuuuny;

这样的造型，这样的装扮，竟然可以弹出那么好的音乐。酷呆了。

And NOW lastly,i started to take notice of 陈绮贞(Cheer Chen). Taiwan’s leading 创作才女. That time was browsing some videos and i caught her playing” After 17”, “吉他手 “in taiwan countdown party. wow, niceeeeee.

Needless to say, she was cool. I really really really admired those who knows how to compose songs and plays the guitar.Inspirational! And to add, her songs are so meaningful. As you carefully listen her lyrics, you find out that every word in the lyrics meant a thing. Awaiting her autograph session and her concert! omgggggggggg. i am so gonna meet her in real person.

Coooooool.;

 

 

不知所措，听了她写的每首歌曲，自彈自唱的神韵 ，弹出的每段的旋律。。渐渐让我更加努力在吉他身上。我再度被激发了。

没了他们，就没有学习的动机。偶像。;

Guitar-小情歌

Recorded 小情歌.=)



<<小情歌>>
词曲:青峰

这是一首简单的小情歌
唱著人们心肠的曲折
我想我很快乐 当有你的温热
脚边的空气转了

这是一首简单的小情歌
唱著我们心头的白鸽
我想我很适合 当一个歌颂者
青春在风中飘著

你知道 就算大雨让这个城市颠倒
我会给你怀抱
受不了 看见你背影来到
写下我 度秒如年难捱的离骚

就算整个世界被寂寞绑票
我也不会奔跑
逃不了 最后谁也都苍老
写下我 时间在琴声交错的城堡

The curious case of Benjamin Buttons. A 2 hour and 43 mins long

Review:

Meaningful movie and touching. What if you were born backwards? From the start, you looked like an old  guy/lady. And as you grew, you became younger and younger. And when you reach the middle age,you looked exactly the age of it. The age where you stand between life and death.

When Benjamin first came on Earth, his father disowned him and was raised by a lady. He had to accept the sufferings of being an wrinkled old baby. As he grew, he suffered from old age. He couldn’t walk without clutches, his body was weak, his face was wrinkled, etc and had to depend on wheelchair. During that time, he met with alot people who thought him about life and had experienced  close-to-death incidents,to-try experiment , etc.

As time pass, he became in his mid-thirties. That was the most memorable he can recalled of. Everything seems so wonderful. His looks, his life, his love life were so perfect. How time can stop at that moment. But then, he had to face the fact he is becoming younger and younger each day until he dies. He had a child with his wife and he knew he couldn’t possibly raise it with her cos of his condition. He left her with his child and he wandered off alone.

And at last, as years past, he changes  from a dashing looking middle age man to a mischievous teenager, to a naughty child ,to a have-to-train-to-talk toddler ,and in the end to a cute baby where he dies peacefully under the hands of his wife who took care of him from the day he became teenager. Awww~this part i cried hard.

All this came to a stop.  How life has ended for Benjamin Buttons.

Quotes to share:

“Life can only be understood looking backward. It must be lived forward.”

“You never know what’s coming for you”

“We are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss”

"We were meant to lose people. How else would we know how important they are?"

For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit... start whenever you want... you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
-Benjamin Button

Let’s live life forward and looks backwards at the end of the day. cherish. enjoy every moment.

cute cute cute.

Omg. I finally saw them in real person and they shook my hands.

Reached East Point Mall around 8 plus, and i waited for my new-made friends that time in the airport. Okay, i finally found people that likes S.H.E as much as i do. Such a rare opportunity and we met out for this event.=) great.

By the time i reached there, the queue was already very long until it is outside the shopping mall. Mad people had started camping yesterday lo, think i dont know. But i am not as crazy as them lo. LOl.=x So went queue with the line from 9am plus to 2 plus where S.H.E came.=)) At least not like the Jiro & Rainie de autograph, late till 1 and a half hour then come. bu shuang.

That waiting period  was hell, hot scorching sun shining, with limited winds blowing.-.- It was as if that if you pour water on your hand, a “psssst..” sound will be heard. Yes, it was that hot. Lucky, one of my friend, Shannon bought umbrella, or else heat stroke.lol. And to prevent from getting it, my another friend, Vanessa suggest that we go walk walk inside the mall to cool ourselves at different times.lol. Sometimes, its good to have a accompany. haha.

Okay, and so 2 plus, they came. But i cant see anything from outside.ROARS. Pathetic. hear their voices also not clear, and they are sitting down on sofas. WAH. sian-est of all. Cant see full person, cant hear them talk, cant hear them sing, cant everything la.=.= damn it. and still at outside, standing on yellow barriers trying to catch a glimpse of them or even capture their pics wor which is.. UNCLEAR. and i am so jealous of Shannon’s SLR?DSLR?Powershot camera! From far, she just zoom and she can capture any pic clearly until the face features can be seen. ROAR. So jealous. i so wanna buy! IT FAIR! but hmmm. $$$$$.

before reaching the stage, i was damn nervous lo. lol. first time mah.

when reached, each of them signed, smiled, said thanks lo.I was intending to say hello or what de lo, but then ps.lol. So i pass by from SELINA to ELLA and to HEBE.

Initially, i used right hand to shake SELINA hand as she was using her left hand to sign, then when reached ELLA, i found out that ELLA uses her left hand to sign and right hand to shake. I suddenly nervous until dont know how to change hand wor, then she took initiative to use her left hand to shake and sign using her  right hand.lols. Then i say opps..sry and she smile back, said thanks and i nod and smile. Lol~~Next, when reach HEBE side, she signed le, smiled and said xie xie, i nod head,smile and say xiexie. dont know she got hear anot.lol. =)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) WILL FOREVER REMEMBER THAT DAY.21/02/09 East Point Mall. lols..
