Something

I saw you again today.

Something came back to life inside.

Hurt.

But I wish you all the best.

Its as you said: "You don't have to talk to me."

Tommy Emmanuel Live in Kuala Lumpur

So I attended Tommy's concert in KL last Friday.

I was excited.

I was fearfully hyped up.

Everything in the world looked magnificent on that day.
Must be Tommy's doing.

I had my ticket ready.

Maton guitars. Can you believe they cost around RM 17999 each?
But man, do they sound sweet.

Ampang Park.

Tommy's two guitars for the night. It was by now that I was hyperventilating.
*fangirl scream*

And then the stage lights up and a booming crowd welcomes the one and only.
Tommy Emmanuel.

I am having the omg face on throughout the entire show. Tommy brought brilliant music through those wonderful speakers and he entertained the fully filled auditorium with his passion and ingenuity for music.

I heard a few new tunes as well. I had my heartstrings stretched during those slower and yet hauntingly beautiful songs. One song that truly touched the core was The Trails. You can only hear it to believe it, so get the album or get a ticket for the next Tommy Emmanuel concert.

The Fingerstyle mastery of TE is unexplainable. It is brilliant yet humble in nature. Just by watching this man play has taught me so many lessons in a matter of hours. The strumming, the rhythm, everything.

And yes the concert was kick-ass. My hands are still trembling a little as I try to recall the magical moments of being seated only a few metres away from Tommy.

And I bought a CD. yeah.

Life is going well. Thank You.

Its been too long

It has been too long since my last blog post and I know, I've been a terrible blog keeper. University life keeps you constantly busy with the never ending assignments (my gosh its only First year sem 1 and I'm already half dead) until blogging becomes a forgotten habit from eons ago.

But I have returned.

And I have brought pictures with me to help me out.

So what have I learned throughout these 6 months being stranded in KL? The list would be endless but I guess the most important aspects of my learning are:

1. How to wash my clothes without spending ridiculous amounts of money on laundry alone.
2. The proper methods of coming late for class and yet still be admitted attendance. (This is a must learn skill for every University student, it could either make or break your petty little existence)
3. The proper care of a Martin Acoustic guitar. A solid spruce top guitar is hard to take care of. You'd think that buy paying more for a guitar, you wouldn't have to worry about its well being eh? Well think again. The more expensive the guitar, the higher the level of care needed.
4. I've learnt to let go of things that hurt. I'm beginning to see light through my windows. Darkness is leaving, slowly but surely. And I remember how it felt to smile.
5. Working together as a band. Our first performance was somewhat lukewarm due to various conditions but yeah, we're evolving. Not sure whats going on now though.

I'll probably TRY to update this blog more with interesting posts but I make no promises. Well, off to bed. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.

I love this pic.
