the baby has finally arrived...





in God's time...
Thank you, God.
Never dreamt that one day I can really play songs I like without a full score.
If not for this gift, I wouldn't have thought of investing in this one big treasure.
May this accompany me for at least another good 5 years.

I want to thank my retired Casio keyboard, which has faithfully served me since around year 2000. Can't remember clearly. But I think at least 10 years.
And the "low G" key has never functioned well.
But I lived with it.
It is with this keyboard which I learnt Canon in D.
It is with this that I practised hard on my chords and improvisation.
It is with this that I composed my first song and the subsequent 3 other songs.
Oh my oh my...getting emotional now...
A good 10 years!...it has been through the high and lows of my life..
where I seek my music therapy late in the night when I'm stressed.
No sustain pedal, no touch sensitive keys, no realistic piano sound.
But simplicity does the magic too.
And the music is truly in the heart. Not solely on the sound you hear.

Welcome Korg SP250.
I'll slowly get to know you more and more.
yet to develop any feelings/relationship with you yet.
But you simply look gorgeous, feel sensational, and sound attractive.

Goodbye Casio TK-100.
I'm sure when I pass this on to my cousins in Melaka,
you will continue to serve them well,
and inspire them to pick up music.
A truly heartfelt thank you for journeying with me thus far.
