Cluttered with books

start a day with a wisdom of word in mind
aligning our mind
spending our time with our books
*see the caption in the picture






BOOKS and BOOKS and MULTITUDE of TEXT BOOKS. As never ending as it sounds, words have been inscribed in numerous of languages and formats since our ancestors were here. "Why on earth do we have to face text books everyday? Why read text books for exams? Do they even give us any benefits? Why can't i just close my eyes and do the exams?"; these are the question that you might utter when you see such books right ESPECIALLY your text books. How absurd this might sound, have you ever wondered what real benefits and interesting outcomes when you read and study for exams? I know that it might be frustrating at times when reading pages filled with words and are in black and white. Even though it is being printed out in colours and with pictures that were initiated to keep the readers going, a minority class of people still don't appreciate the hard work that has been put to produce such colourful text books that makes people to understand better and score better during exam. I'm not biased or anything BUT guess what? I used to disregard books. Regarding them as useless piece of garbage that waste papers and cut down more trees. I may sound like an Eco friendly person right? Well, at least i don't buy furs or do anything that pollutes the environment. This question may arise in your mind, even if so, IT MAY SOMEHOW still arise, "How on earth then I came to appreciate my school text books isn't it?"

********************************on 2009********************************

during my SPM year, yes! I was scared to death. Well, on the year 2008. I use to slack like a slug. Worst then a slug i presume. Coming back to the main point, I wasted pretty much of my time during my form 4, year 2008. I use to scribble my books like my diary and highlight them for no reason. YES! I can be that lifeless. Not shocking to you i hope.
"Stop scribbling your text books Jesseca. Ai yo yo! JESSSSEEECCAAAA!!!!!!" screamed my friend.
"Why? Anyway, once we are done with it, we are going to sell them or throw away the books right? Who cares? I am so lazy LA!" I replied.
"Then why do you have a text book for? For fun is it. You don't want to study is it? Just leave school. No point staying in school and sleep and going back when school ends right! JUST THROW ALL YOUR TEXTBOOK AWAY AND DON'T NEED TO STUDY" she muttered.
"Owh. If I get pass enough already right?" I answered rudely.
"Well, if you keep up with this attitude. Do you think you will succeed in life? What if you were working now? You still want to keep up with this attitude. Everyone is moving forward and you are just dozing of MENTALLY!" she shouted back.
"I'll get to do something somehow? I won't fail. ALL that matters is that a D will be fine," I fought back.
"Imagine yourself getting straight D's and everyone getting straight A's!" she said with a twitch on her cheeks
********************* I WAS SPEECHLESS******************

Damn she hit me hard on my head. Then i apologize to her for being such a "smart-ass." Then, she taught me how study and value the text book any work books as something precious. From that day onwards, there was this fire of willing to do something that ignited within me. I was hunger for the thirst of knowledge. I was determined to study. I worked hard and smart. That is the fact why i ALWAYS DO MY ASSIGNMENTS right after i get it. I always fear that I will be left behind and everyone will regard me as inferior. I am not a bright student BUT i can admit that I am a hardworking student. My SPM result was fairly good enough as I almost got the same amount of A's compared to the second class. The product of my hard work thus was a rewarding gift BUT i knew that If I ever did worked harder, I wouldn't have come to face such great challenges in life.
Value your TEXT BOOKS, EXAMS, LECTURERS and THE SUBJECT as something very precious like how you value your diamonds and golds. NOTHING could be compared to knowledge as knowledge is a very valuable thing in life. That is why, in order to succeed. We have to study hard, aim high and finish all our work beforehand. Fairly enough, if the people notice your spirit, IMAGINE how wonderful your employer will notice your spirit to in the near future. "Time and tide waits for no man" as the old adage goes, why don't you start working hard now so that life will be much simpler or maybe harder. Depends on what choices we make though.
''Rome was not build in one day" is thus applicable in one's life. In comparison, a successful man didn't come about by chance, a great deal or hardship they had to face. For example, how long did it took for Thomas Edison to create a single light bulb? MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED ATTEMPTS. Have you ever thought of that. Your telephone, Alexandre Graham Bell? Needless of the amount of inventors we know, have we come to know about their past?
Hence, the lesson that we can learn is (oh my gosh. I sound like a teacher) ANYWAY... study hard, work hard and P.L.A.Y. HARD in the end.

"ALL GLORY COMES FROM DARING TO BEGIN" by Eugene Ware

Stuck in my room

a colourful imagination

the light where we instill in our mind




Stuck in my room,
Thinking about tomorrow,
Placing the book upright,
Wondering about how will I turn out.

Trying to sow the seed,
Watering the seed so that it will bloom,
Burning my brain like cigar,
But all well end's well

p/s epic is what I describe it

STRESS is chilling up my spine

trying to absorb all the knowledge i can
i pray that my exams will turn out well
exams are like chess which you can never predict
feel like dying when i flunk my exam. zzz



I shouted for help. Minutes passed and I began to feel dizzy as I swayed like a pendulum. Fortunately, I was lying by a lake as the current of the river flows in a flowy blue satin dress as my hair being disturbed by the rage of the current in the middle of the woods. Never did I thought that life could be tranquil and solemn because in reality, i would have been pulled away by the river if I ever didn't try to fight against the current. Life is not that simple. The EAT, SLEEP & DIE philosophy never did apply or what so ever. Daydreaming about how we want our life to turn out is just a mere illusion and impossible to achieve if it is out of this world. Never put faith in the world is what I thought myself.
"THE WEAK SHALL DIE, THE STRONGEST SHALL LIVE" that's the code for the survival of the fittest. Harsh and cruel yet applicable but not to the extend of being blood guilty. In this dog-eat-dog world, everyone has to fend for themselves in one way or another.
In comparison as the statement above, examination is a reflection of how well a person achieves. Thus, doing our level best is not always what people put our judgement on, the the comparison of achievement between one's ability and art with another is how the world judges. Having this vague point of view in mind is stuck in my head like a parasite or cancer that is very hard to get rid on and it becomes futile.
Having an environment where hopeful people places their reliance and expectation on my shoulder is thus a burdensome one. Not only my parents and other people who expects me to do my best BUT it's I, I am the one who place an aeon's of expectation in myself. Numb with fear, I already knew that each and everyone has their limits, I try to place myself out of the box. Trying to achieve something that not everyone can ever achieve. For my selfishness gave my pride away, there was no turning back to the past even though how much i wanted to turn back the time and erase the "red spots" that I've made. The list was long, but I seemed to have a new perspective of life. Getting hold of myself, trying to score a "flush" in a gamble is the same of how much I want to Ace my exams my flying colours. With pride but not haughtiness, "THE SPIRIT IS STRONG BUT THE SOUL IS WEAK" was what i placed at first place even though it was irrelevant. The stress was just accumulating like a bundled of dry leaves; easy to crack. I wish the dry leaves could just cracked and fly away in to specks of dust. Exam was what I wish to be like the dry leaves.
How hard I tried, my sweat didn't seem to pay off. I wonder why at times, BUT the answers don't seem to get across my mind. At times of giving up in life, I always place my thought in 20 years time of how I wanted a reflection of mine to be. You can thus imagine the excruciating consequences in the regard of slacking one's life as I wasn't born with a "silver spoon." If that's the case, soon the breadwinner of the family will tire out, then who will replace that position? I love my parents till death and words that cannot describe this feeling that was within me. In connection with this, I was eager to study even though my "Mr. Hyde" of me seems to get the bet of me a times.
Exams and hard work is everyone should place first in life beside the superiority position of our GOD and FAMILY. They are in a different league. There is a boundary between doing well and doing the best we can. It differs completely and stress will just build up if I don't study. It creeps in to the soul, every sleepless night I get, the guilty facade i put on. As I focus on what I want to achieve; being a successful person in a godly life. Being a dreamer at times; most of time i presume, i will picture a "Red hot baby FERRARI car" in mind, that sometimes give me inspiration in life to study harder and achieve my level best.
Hence, stress thus have it's pros and cons. It's not always the cons because sometimes, all we need is a wider view of perspective as there is GOOD STRESS and BAD STRESS. Having this mixed feeling in me, the conclusion is.... STRESS MOTIVATES ME TO STUDY. Even though this may seem awkward to people, the only thing that matters is how the fruits of our produce turn out to be in the end of the day.


"If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it; every arrow that flies feels the attraction of earth" by Henry Wadsworth, Longfellow

(I will blast this song out loud when I'm under stress)


"Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
Just tell him to the left, left, left
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
We gone and we gone and we gone
No stress, no stress, no stress
Girl, you deserve nothing but the best
No stress, no stress, no stress
Girl, you need to tell him"

Piotr Anderszewski - Beethoven Piano Concerto No.1, Bagatelles op.126

An Unfathomable Demeanor

the booklet i got from the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra

Piotr Anderszewski album

my ticket to watch Piotr Anderszewski perform

Piotr Anderszewski

As the moment i saw him walking out to the platform, i thought i was in a state of euthanasia. From his charm to his skills, he wooed me with ONLY his skills. It was magical as if I was under a spell. Travelling in time as the music flowed from his soul. I slouch at my couch, vague as I could remember. I was just spellbound by his performance. The nostalgia he could bring it out on me without my knowledge. As if my whole soul was being tampered by him. I enjoyed the way he glides across the huge black grand piano ceaselessly. It was uncanny to know how he did it as that scene seems to be a bizarre sight. I had this premonition of impending disaster that he will somehow slipped through the keys BUT as perfect as he seems, he proved me wrong. His music moved me deeply inside me. A swirling strings of melody clinged together melodiously.

The atmosphere was silent. The spotlight shinning upon Piotr was so angelic. All the audiences could do was to stop and stare at his wondrous performance. His movement was as swift as lightning. The sound that neared the climax caught me by surprise. One look at him and I knew my plight that I was day dreaming in to the spaces of sounds. Gently, his music pulled me in and I know that whatever that I'll do now it's futile. Just the imagination of how my day could ONLY focus on the shadow of Ludwig Van Beethoven, John Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and other famous pianist and prodigy.

Piotr Anderszewski was born in Warsaw to Polish-Hungarian parents. He has appeared in the Berlin Philharmonic, the Boston, Chicago and London symphony orchestras, the NHK Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Royal Concertogebouw. He has collaborated with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Sinfonia Varsovia, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the soloists of the Berlin Philharmonic and among others. With the collaboration with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra featuring Mozart's G major and D minor concertos was set to an European Tour on 2007 to 2008.

Anderszewski who is extremely beyond talented has made a number of award-winning recordings. For instance, Diabelli Variations by Ludwig Van Beethoven. Apart from that, with the special relationship between him and his compatriot Szymanowski in a discography music, it has earned him the Classic FM Gramaphone Award in 2006 for Best Instrumental Disc. The Gilmore Award that is only given to a pianist every FOUR YEARS with exceptional talent he had obtained that prestigious award and including the Symanowski Prize in 1999 and the Royal Philharmonic Society's Best Instrumentalist Award in 2001.

Hence, i can strongly say that the word "MUSIC" doesn't need to be to an appalling trade or general. Everyone has to be nonchalant towards a certain title and not just Singers, Rock stars or Bands from different genre that they penchant. SOON, these musics of the one's they have much penchant for will be lacklustre for them. Hence, we have to constantly trigger our mind on the vast variety of music that we can jot about and not feel inhibited at all.

That is the reason why i chose 'HIM'; Piotr Anderszewski as my main subject because NOT ONLY he produces good music BUT he also inspire others to want to play the piano or listen to golden age music that is SOON to extinct in these modern society. With all the excruciating songs that is being played on the radio often, why not take some time and indulge yourself in good music where our forefathers once listen to.

"GO! GO! GO! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........." i screamed with great turmoil as I saw the fast cars passed by me at the Sepang Formula 1 Grand Prix on April 4th and 5th. The agonizing occasion seemed to be about when the Ferrari car and the Mc Laren car passed me by. I was sitting on the chair with sweats filled over me, alternating between boats of intense anxiety and periods of terrifying rage. I shouted and shouted ceaelessly, seeking for the Ferrari will HOPEFULLY win as I knew that they will never falter UNLESS there are obstacles in the path. The sound that came from the car just made me high LITERALLY.

The adrenaline rushed began to fade as the last lap reached, a sense of tranquility descended upon me. It was a signal that the race was over. The result did not appeal to me as Felipe Massa did finished top 10 and Fernando Alonso car went wrong at the very end. Such disappointment i thought to myself. Rage of anger filled me as I saw the former and latter Ferrari drivers placed badly. However, there are still few more races to go across the country. No regrets ''Man!"

I love fast cars ESPECIALLY the Formula 1 race. I have developed this passion of fast cars by my very best friend. Her enthusiasm or this particular sport gave me an inspiration to start liking this sport. A prestigious sport. As a bonus, MOST of the Formula 1 drivers are very good looking. For example, the Formula 1 Toro Rosso-Ferrari driver; Jaime Alguersuari, the RedBull-Renault driver; Mark Webber, the Force India-Mercedes driver; Adrian Sutil, the ex Ferrari driver; Kimi Raikkonen, Mc Laren drivers; Jensen Button and Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes GP driver; Nico Rosberg, Williams-Cosworth driver; Nico Hulkenberg, Virgin-Cosworth driver; Lucas Di Grassi.

Moving on, you are now wondering who on earth is in the picture right? I mean come on, I have been ranting about my AWESOME experience at the recent Sepang Formula 1 Grand Prix and you are now puzzling why didn't i talk about that stud in the pictures. Here is a brief introduction about him. (i hope that he won't see this or I will die SERIOUSLY)

Nabil Jeffri who has been awarded as the "1 Belia 1 Malaysia'' icon started go-karting at a very young age of 8. He is now 17 years old. His self-interest made him want to go-kart. His first event that he raced was the Mofaz Go kart track in Sg. Penchala. He competed at the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals in La Conca circuit Muro Lecesse in Italy. He was the Asian champion in 3 consecutive years. The PLUS Speedway Circuit USJ in Subang Jaya is where he builds up his talent. In simple words, his training ground. He is sponsored by Comma Motor Sports. He is part if the Formula BMW F1 team. He recently raced at the Sepang Formula 1 Grand Prix and got the 9th placed on Race 1 but retired from Race 2 after being hit by a compatriot. Other than that, he is using the Rotax Max 125cc. It's an Austrian race machine. He finished a respectable 6th place out of 72 drivers in last years Rotax Max World Finals in Egypt. He is the reigning Malaysian Rotax Max Challenge Junior champion.

His idol is LEWIS HAMILTON, the 2008 Formula 1 champion because he sees Lewis as someone with great skills, potential and charm. 5 years down the road, he yearns to be a part of the Malaysian A1 team. In addition, he loves Maths and Science in school. He loves to eat spaghetti and drink Milo ice. He is currently studying at SMK Kota Damnasara Utama. He excels in studies and in sports.

"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however" by Richard Bach

The house of my heart

my figurative second home, college

coming home from college!

I visit you at dawn,
As dusk runs in,
I traveled back pass the dark,
Heading back to the nest.

I love the place where I came to see you,
Time and whereabouts you took ripped away,
Pleasure was all that consumed me,
A fountain of love was all i had.

Knowledge and mystery came pouring in,
Trying to scoop up everything i could,
Filling up the emptiness in mind,
Because of you MY SECOND HOME

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

p/s This song came to my mind when I first entered Taylor's Lakeside campus

The prettiest little things in life!

Live life to the fullest while in college

Gaining sweet college memories in life

Friends in college are like never ending strings

Aim HIGH, Sky HIGH!

Being ecstatic over college! Who wouldn't feel that way right? Maybe if you are just paranoid. I'm just saying. NOT directing to anyone in particular. Having a blast in my college life so far in the Taylors Lakeside campus. This place in particular will be a place where i will remember most. A piece of a memory will i keep in my heart. My heart is a house. Things come and go but the ONE stays the same. In college, i made so many new friends. Taylors Lakeside campus is the best place i thought. After college, we always "chill" at ASIA CAFE! Somehow, i feel that the people in the Taylors Lakeside campus are really supportive. We care for one another in ways that can't be explain. We are just born with that instinct. Like a protective eagle that looks after

it's eggs until it's chicks hatchets. A maternal instinct is thus truly can be compared to the caring instinct that we have in our hearts. We are born with it. We display it. Even though Our naked eyes can't see it, others can see it. Even the smartest man on earth will also can't explain why? only god knows.

This will be a shout out to Rachel Abraham. Just the other day, i was down to some silly reason. It haunted me for years. This was how it goes...

Rach: "Hey Jess... Are you okay? I mean like seriously? You can tell me anything? I know that you are NOT okay "

**********she said it with mush care and sincerity*************** (i hope so!)

Hence, i told her my story and she gave me some advices. I miss those days in school where you can pour out all your feelings to especially our best friends and girlfriends for sure. I thought that it was impossible for me to find that "one." Well, maybe I have found it. I was glad. Having people in college that we can rely on is thus a great gift. Friends come and go BUT the true ones stays. Building up that foundation of trust in a friend is a MUST. It's not what you can make of it but what you can bring to the table. Friends overlook our flaws and they try to bring the best in us. Why not try and start to make friends is Taylors lakeside campus. Not just one but a dozen. WELL, why say so?

No one appreciates what is in store front of them. They just take everything for granted. What if time had ran out for you? Have you ever thought of that? What you wanted to do? Any regrets in life? Take every opportunity. Live life to the fullest. We only have one chance to live. Why waste it? Take a chance in life. Don't be afraid. Face your fears. If you have been afraid to start college. Well. Congratulations to you! YOU ARE IN COLLEGE NOW. Take one step at a time. Then continue onwards.

In connection with that statement, why not start keeping and recording wonderful memories while in college. In Taylors lakeside, with a blink of an eye, we won't be in college anymore. We are just speck of dust, trying to live a life BUT not wondering about the future and what we are made of! We are not born to this world and die just like that. Just i have said, One chance to live, One chance to make the BEST of it. Not just the minimum level but to our very best. With much sweat and blood, the effort we put, succeed and making our way in and out of college. We are then making a big step in life. Taylors Lakeside campus is thus the place where we ought to go. Leaving our mark there and moving ahead. "When a tiger dies, it will never loses it's stripes, When a man dies, he will never lose (WHAT?) guess yourself?" Think this phrase out and you will learn the true meaning behind it!

Hence, while I'm still in Taylors lakeside with a place with full of bliss and wonder, i want to treasure every moment that i will encounter when i am Taylors lakeside. No one will know what we will encounter right? It will just happen in front of our very eyes. Rather than being such a pessimist, I want to keep in mind of all the optimistic things that i want to have in my life. A place that i can look back next time in my golden age. Even though this may sound cheesy, trust me! I will never ever will regret with what i have said. Taylors Lakeside campus will always have a place in my heart. The prettiest things in life are the hardest to get rid of!

''One step at a time,

There's no need to rush,

It's like learning to fly,

Or falling in love,

It's going to happen,

If we find the reason WHY,

ONE STEP AT A TIME!"

~by Jordin Sparks.

''Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can'' by Richard Bach

The grass is always greener on the other side

stepping in to college

taylors lakeside campus #1

taylors lakeside #2

I always thought that college was just a mere place where we go and come back during our schooling days.
"Isn't it amazing that you are going to college soon?" that what's everyone was when everyone eager to go to after completing our high school. Well, everyone thought that college life was better and would give us more freedom beyond our expectation. SADLY, all of these notations are beyond false. It's rubbish in a matter of fact. I never knew that stepping in to college was a big step for me to take yet complicating. I had to face many obstacles and peer pressure. Anyways, i do not want to filled you up with my rants and raves BUT I'll just give you the gist of it.


While looking through the bundles of college brochures, i stumbled upon limkokwing university pamphlets. Since my cousin did went there before and she was successful in life. That confident of hers gave me the inspiration to study there as she ALWAYS entered all sorts of competitions. She was like a reflection of me, a competitor. Maybe the lecturers have not seen that side of me while i always put on a clog of another person. In order that no one knew what had been instilled inside me, the fire of a fighting spirit. Achieving all my goals in life. For example, becoming an advertiser or a broadcaster. Who knows? It only depends one's life and base on one's decision, YES me!



Coming back to that pamphlets that is stumbled upon, soon enough. Somehow, the banners that i always see while on the road captivated my attention. YES, true enough, it was the TAYLORS LAKESIDE ADVERTISEMENT. The view and the scenery of the place was what everyone dreamt of. I loved the place, another bonus, the education was said to be good as there were many praises directed to that particular place and lecturers. Having such a scattered brain, i couldn't make up my mind where to go at first. Hence, I decided to go to limkokwing university. That place blew me away. It was big, in a middle of nowhere, extremely god gifted looks all around, the building was covered mostly in black. Well, u may assume that this place was like a funeral parlour BUT to me, it was like a haven, black was my favourite colour. Hence, I went and registered there surprisingly.



Well, now u may wonder why I am in Taylors Lakeside University College anyways! I'm sure you do since I've been praising limkokwing university at the beginning. This is how the story goes. After registering to that 'particular' university, i had many bad reviews even though there were good reviews to. In general, the cons ALWAYS AND WILL outweigh the pros. Even though I wished that it was the other way round, that is life! isn't it? I'm not trying to bad mouth about that unversity ok. Don't get me wrong. I might continue my masters there if time allows.





From the previous paragraph at the latter part, i said that the banner that was hanged by the roadside REALLY did captivated me. I was appalled by the many hectares of land, the tall buildings, the facility they had to offer and so. At first, i thought that MY CURRENT university college at first was some sort of a resort. BUT now, that perception of mine had changed 360 degrees completely. Hands down!



*******along the way, i decided to go to taylors due to unforeseen occurrence*********



Back to where we left, yes. It was like a luxurious dungeon, a big educational building that keeps students in a temporary prison BUT the teachings there are superb, beyond words. Till now, i can still recall what my lecturer has taught me till now! Oh yeah.. There's a lake, a grass bed that looks like a chess board, a platform which looks like a dock. Figuratively speaking, it was actually a good prison where they keep students and mould them in to a perfect human being!



Even the grass is always greener on the other side, but there is always it's disadvantages. THE TAYLOR'S BUS is killing me! even though i take the first bus or so, i always end up late in college or exactly on time! I despise being late as punctuality is my mine priority. This service didn't do much well with me, but with no choice ahead. I had to stick with the shuttle bus and be grateful for what they had to offer! since i do not want to travel on foot. NO WAY. Not in a million years. Even a stack of cash will not able to persuade me to walk. BUT the best thing is, all of my lecturers are such a wonder. They are awesome in a way that they are flexible and i ALWAYS have to explain why I am late like a broken record

"Sorry teacher I'm late (yes, i prefer calling them teacher than being formal) the Taylors bus LA!" that is what i always whined about. Even though I'm early, somehow I'll end up late in college. Such a piste



Moving away from such pandemic issues, grrr.... Taylors college do have their advantages to! I'm not a pessimist for a start. Well, they offer great accommodation, a place to lounge, a four-storey library, a lot of clubs and activities and many more. Such offers are such great benefits, you know why? Rather than being stuck with the stacks and stacks of books, being buried alive in it without enjoying one's life, her teenage life! yes, my life with all the stress. Students can release their stress by enjoying themselves in such clubs and etc. As we have heard many times repeatedly, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" For my case, "All work and no play makes Jesseca wants to suicide" You know why! Research has shown that almost 70% of college students suicide or get depressed due to extreme pressures. Well, since I've been to Taylors Lakeside till now, as I have said, the Lecturers are the best, they won't put the pressure on us but gave us some advice and tell us the consequences that we might face with any decision we make. It is up to us, either we want to build ourselves up or just deteriorate ourselves.



Promoting ourselves to a working class rather than being demoted in to such a pest, we MUST do our best in whatever we do. We cannot depend on our breadwinner in the long run somehow. We don't want to burden them. Hurt their feelings and so on. BUT, we want to make them proud, lift their heads high up, make their heart glad, repay their gratitude, all the sacrifices they made for us even though we cannot see with our naked eyes, it will be all worth it. YES, I was mentioning about our parents and guardian. The people that surrounds us will be filled with joy when we succeed to. YES, i have no regrets studying in taylors lakeside campus. It is the best. The people are friendly, the lecturers are nice, the education there is good and what's more? Find out for yourself. Trust me, you will be appalled and that cheerful stream will come surging in you! Who knew that college life will be extraordinay!



TAYLORS LAKESIDE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE is the BEST EDUCATIONAL CENTRE!



"Don't be afraid to take a big step. You can't cross a chasm in small jumps." by David Llyod George

The piano of my heart

a grand piano by a sea

a grand piano in the garden

piano epic!

" Ist es whar? Ist es whar? daR du stets dort in dem Laub-gang an der...." as the songstress sang on while the concerto goes. Fingers bended, mind relaxed, phalanges on placed, a key was played, a symphony of sounds emerged.

The girl wooed the crowd. Her mind spins wildly. Her eyes darting around the keys. Every corner she touched. Her body swayed as the music flowed. Her eyes shut! Tears of joy i presume filled her. The spirit in her merrily celebrated. Satisfaction overwhelmed her. No trace of emotion could be seen. As the last note ended, her eyes opened.

"Stop dreaming and play properly!" a voice out of no where shot out.

I came back to reality

*** coming back to reality***

Great! that's what I thought for my teacher interrupted me. She's a maestro at heart. A cold clothe she displayed but deep down within her, she was the best. One in million woman where everyone wanted. She hopes for the best in others, giving inspiration and hardcore training was what she did best. Yes! She was my piano teacher.

I grew up with her, trying to please her, a smile only filled her impassive face i knew. Never whined if she corrected me because she knows what's best for me. The traces of veins could be seen visibly. All the tender years of age she worked hard until she got where she wanted. I said to myself. "Practice Makes Perfect!" Well, how can anyone say that a student will become slow at at achieving his goals if he is not for wrong-doings. The feign concept of sparing a rod and not correcting his ways turn back the responsibility of disciplining a student. Moreover, everyone should remember that we no longer live in a barbaric world where meager is at premium and realize that a student will become lazy if the teacher gave in to his every whim and fancy. Consequently, never guiding a student is only a cover up for the teacher's lacking in disciplining skills. Since there are indeed many ways to mould a student, my teacher was the second best after my mum. She taught with kindness and patient with a certain level degree of strictness. there was a certain balance when being nice and strict.

"To play well is not being gifted. Even though you were not born with a gifted hands! At least, make an effort to inspire others with this talent that you build up!" she advised me.

-this was actually told to me a few years back.

Hearing those words build me up. Every wise sayings that are poured out to me always are inculcated in my heart. Hence, these holidays, I practiced my piano skill more vigilantly so that I will be sharper. Mould the world with my music if I could. If i had the ability to, I want to inspire others to take up music as I did. I communicate with my music. I tell a story. Everything I did, I became more n depth with my music. Everyday of my miserable life, only the piano could lift my spirit up with the sound that it produces. My holidays will be a delightful one as i was eager to improve my skills, learn new song and among others. I hope that I will be able to perform my music and boast my skills in pride. Never looking back, only when i first started. With all the struggles and tears that i went through and had to cope, I am blessed that I had these hands, a perfect hands to play the piano. As Helen Keller once said, "For as you dream, you shall become"

My holidays will be filled with harmony. A music that changes moods. My mood in particular. To get to my destination figuratively. The goals I want to achieve in life. A heart and soul, sharing my music with other. Filling up my sad days and good days. Also, my upcoming days. Holidays is always the best time for me to brush up my music. A symphony of sounds, a concerto, or just a simple tune can just motivate me to do anything in my everyday life. I cannot imagine myself during holidays without my piano, even i lifetime. That will definitely be the worst torture that I will come to face. Rare of sight, rare in mind I never assume that piano is just a mere instrument. It's my life. My holidays will be and always be a musical one. No matter what the world is heading to right now, shopping at a mall, watching the television, loitering at the "mamak" stalls, you can always find me at the back of the piano. Fingers slididng and gilddding across the streams of keys.

Till my the end of my holidays, I will take every opportunity to play a concerto at the very least. Not knowing when I won't be able to lend a hand on my beloved statue childlike instrument, yes my piano! I will play non-stop but not fanatically.

This is how my journey will be. A premonition of the future. My holidays. A musical holiday.
