i am irritated!
she sat at the school's large grand piano, lifted her fingers gingerly and began to play, hoping that those weeks of intensive training would not go to waste. as she played the concerto on the piano, she gradually gained her momentum and felt a surge of confidence with each key she played. Suddenly, the wide-eyed giant of a woman marched grandiosely towards the girl. The girl became nervous as she stared up at her gargantuous physique. She wore a stern look on his face, her thick lips pursed like two little sausages piled up on top of one another. Despite her slightly oversized figure, she looked scholarly and carried himself with an unusual grace as he swept across the hall. "Right," thought the girl, scowling as she played a wrong note, "the worst thing about her is that she wears a bikini to piano lessons!"
"Wrong note. Start from the beginning."
The girl scowled but dutifully followed his instructions. Oops, another wrong note. She was beginning to lose her focus.
"From the beginning again."
Rats. Come on, concentrate! You can do this!
Halfway through the song, the burly woman finally left without uttering a single word. The girl seemed to play better without her watching over the girl like a hawk.
"Finished!!! HENG AH..." the girl heaved a sigh of relief as she went on to play yet another musical interlude.
HOHO how do u like my story? This is inspired by the many piano lessons i had with my unbearable ex-piano teacher. she makes my blood boil. until it evaporates. HAHA.
Today i shall look at the subject of BABIES. la-dee-da...
Why do people fuss over babies? **whoops. darling lulu has just sent me a sms!!!**
Oh yeah. WHY do people always feel like cooing and fussing over a baby when they see one? I noticed that everytime some of my friends see a baby they all start going gaga over it and of course, the trademark shriek: "SO CUUUUUTE!!!!!"
Babies, after all, are humans anyway. We were once babies. Babies grow into adults over time. Fussing over a baby would just be like fussing over the man selling roti prata across the street, or the average businessman you see walking to his office in Shenton Way. What do you think? To me babies are no different from our fellow human beings, they are but our fellow homo sapiens! It's just that they need a bit of guidance from the others around them, and i don't think babies are so cute that they make you feel all fuzzy and warm. NO! Dogs, cats, horses, animals, non-living things and even full-grown humans are cute! Like lulu! Lulu is a cute horse/ice cream/human!!! What's the difference?
the difference is that babies are smaller. and their voices are more high-pitched.
SO WHAT? Vera and liyana and millions of other older people are smaller and have rather high-pitched voices! Girls have high-pitched voices (and so does my boy cousin) too!!!!!
Don't take what i just wrote into deep consideration because I'm scared of babies. Very very scared. I'm not afraid of cockroaches or anything but i'm afraid of babies. My neighbour has a baby and when it cries, my hair stands up and I become irritable. Weird, huh? I have my reasons for being afraid. To others, it's merely a self-centered, silly childhood fear, but to me, it's a nightmare that haunts me time and again, since I was five. Go figure out yourself why i'm so scared and if you can guess right, i'll be flabbergasted. Maybe I'll write about that fear next time i blog. Stay tuned for the next instalment!! :D
