Have You Ever...

Dated one of your best friends?
I have never ever dated. Like, been to a dinner, gathering, party, one-one with a girl before. Well, who's first?

Broken the law?
Eating and Drinking in the MRT. Oh look someone just spilled his chocolate drink!


Been arrested?
No, and will try not to get arrested ever. If I do though it will be practising piano at 3am and police knocking on thy black door and me refusing to stop.

Random
5 things you're good at (in no order of merit):

1. Hearing 5 seconds of a Beatles piece and being able to tell the title
2. Acting really stupid when the time calls for it
3. Listening to different notes in a chord and being able to tell what creates such a mood and harmony. (I think it's a skill though...having a good ear is important when playing pieces with diverse harmonies. Dr. Hecht is best at this I think)
4. Listening to what people say and empathizing with them.
5. Removing a musical block when it comes to writing a song. Sometimes it's just plain luck though, when you manage to come up with a new chord that fits the music.


4 things you've done today:

1. Played major, harmonic minor and melodic minor - contrary motion and similar motion of all keys.
2. Blogged.
3. Playing a pirate game from addictinggames.com
4. Creating the melody and the harmonies for Nothing Girl after 3 months


3 things you hear right now:

1. Channel 8 show at 5.30pm
2. Cars at a highway 1km away running over puddles of water
3. Utensils hitting against each other. My mum's eating...


2 things you'll probably never do:

1. Date someone out! Lol
2. Not compose a full-length opera


1 thing you seriously regret doing:
I have no regrets!
