Charity Meme

Ok look, I’ve never been tagged with something as noble as this. Thanks to Bkworm, here’s my version:

  1. To love someone is to keep her away from pain.
  2. Money makes me grin from ear to ear.
  3. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my loved ones happy.
  4. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could be someone whom people look up to?
  5. I smile when I hear my little cousin call me kor kor.
  6. Money is not everything but happiness is.
  7. If you want to achieve something, then you have to work for it.
  8. My way of saying I care is by offering assistance, or lending an ear.
  9. Friendship is always life-long.
  10. A person is only as good as he wants himself to be.
  11. I try to spread love and happiness by making people laugh.
  12. When I was thirteen, what I remember the most was entering secondary school.
  13. I miss being in school.
  14. When I am happy, I talk a lot.
  15. The best thing I did yesterday was lifting weights at the gym.
  16. One thing I must do before I die is to visit all 7 continents in the world.
  17. Doing this meme, I feel like being part of something charitable.

And to pass this on…:-
Jian, Che-cheh, and Sat, consider yourselves privileged :p

Music

My All-Time Favorite Instrumental Piece

I listen to all kinds of music, but acoustic, live, or instrumental tracks are my favorite. I like the ‘rawness’ of the music - purely composed of acoustic sounds without any kind of sound engineering (except maybe amplification). I guess you can call me a minimalist. Remember I mentioned about a rare track I kept in my dead harddisk? Fortunately, I have a copy of it in my phone. Some of you may have heard it before when I put it up on my old blog years ago. Let me share it here with you now, my all-time favorite instrumental piece:

I can loop the song an infinite number of times and still won’t get sick of it. I wish I could play like that :(. I don’t know who the pianist is, though. It’s actually based on an original song, sung by Utada Hikaru. It’s called Final Distance, if I’m not mistaken. The CD (from which this song was supposedly taken) had only 3 tracks, all instrumental piano pieces (including Can You Keep a Secret - but I don’t have that song anymore). It’s no use trying to search for the piano score - I’ve had people asking me where to find it (one even offered me $$!).

I can’t even find the CD online. Anyway, tell me you love it :)
