Romance De Amor

It's been a 5 years since my first guitar broke... I thought I didn't have much time to play, so I didn't even bother to get a new one since I have not been playing it even before it breaks.

Recently, some classical music just ran through my brain... Beethoven's Symphony No 5, Mozart's Srenade No 13, and Pachelbel's Canon D. Listening to it makes the brain works better on calculations... Especially when I'm given an engineering problem that requires alot of calculations and creativity these days... And listening to those classical musics reminds me that I was a "Piccolo" player of 1st KL Boys Brigade 16 years ago. Wow, that was almost half my life ago... And I have a urge of holding the Flute again...

So last week, after the Flying Dutchman attempt, I went to a musical store around Cheras wanting get myself a Piccolo. Asking the person in charged for a Piccolo, he told me that those items require pre-order and deposits.

"Nah... Just get me a bamboo flute then..." I told the sales assistant... And after some searching, he told me that the bamboo flute is out of stock...

"Okay, then get me flute type recorder then..." Again, some searching and the answer was, "Ehh..? There was one yesterday. Where did it went..?"

"Hmm... So, tell me what do you have..?" And the sales assistant took out a YAMAHA box... Wow...!!! It was my dream brass flute 16 years ago...!!! I got excited and asked for the price...

"Bro, this one ah... hmm... RM2XXX..."

Shit, it's way out of my budget!!! Haiz... So, I ended up buying a RM12.00 YAMAHA plastic recorder... It isn't too bad...

Looking at my watch, I still have some time to spare, so I look around... And I saw this acoustic guitar that priced RM259. Hmm.... maybe it's time to get myself another guitar and I told the sales assistance to get me one of those... Like said... Sometimes, the best things happen when you least expect them to happen... I went into a musical store hoping to get myself a flute, I came out with a recorder and cheap guitar, and I'm very happy with it...

So, here I am, playing one of the very first classical I learnt 14 years ago... The first part of Romance De Amor with my cheap RM259 guitar.... Sorry if I've spoilt the song. I'm a lousy guitarist. I just enjoying doing what I wanna do...
