Fur-elise about to finish

It has been 3 months since I grabbed the electronic organ from Zhou Zhi, the one he used to enter the palace of music but not enough for further advancement. Before I carry it back, he said, "fur-elise, that's the first piece I played". Fur-elise, the tiny elegant piece by Beethoven, although not my favorate, but probably the first classic piece I heard when I was a small boy. I decided to crack it FIRST. Searched on the omnipotent google, the score found was supprisingly 3 pages long. Except for the familiar "3#23#237216", two other parts come along to form the complete piece. Also, I found a midi version and listened to it again and again while practicing to get the feeling as well as the rhythm.

The hard things as a beginer are left hand, two hands conversation and the rhythm. I played accordion for a few years in primary school, so right hand is not a big problem. But I really cannot remember how to get the two hands work together, and the left hand needs more concentration otherwise it will be left behind. However, every skill can be learned, the only difference is how fast you learn it. I practiced many times either hand separately until the upper and the lower score could naturally flow. Then kept the rhythm slow and looked for the feeling of two hands conversation. Gradually, I found I already can play the first part which does not require two hands to talk a lot at the same time. Although simple, the success was a great inspiration. Now, after 3 months playing once and a while, the difficult and fast second part is almost finished. The 3rd part requires to control the rhythm steady and show enough strength, but not that skill required, i believe i can master it within a few tries. :D

I must say that life tastes very good if you can play some piano, in fact, very musical.

你是我的女朋友就好了

一天,实验室,小艳和其他人在说话,我在编程。说到得意处,笑得很开心,样子可爱极了。突然间我却有一种很奇妙(可能是奇怪吧)的感觉,竟然在想“她是我的女朋友就好了”。每每以初识她那时的感觉去看,觉得认识她真是我的幸运。小艳,是世界上最可爱的人吧。

海边小餐

Posted by HelloSo colorful dinner

海岸,和葛鸿老人与刘霞(之女朋友)一道前往。先骑车(双人车),后小餐。骑车至某观景台前,睹一人正驭一风筝,风筝甚是高级,双手驭之可控方向。那人见有人观赏,便来了兴致,大耍风筝翻湫板,十几圈过后,余本以为风筝会因搅线落地,未想到那人竟能反方向控制,又绕了回去。阿拉叹为观止,也就忘了照相,可惜可惜。兴后至某某海鲜楼小食一把,图为菜,四人吃后竟有回去再吃方便面之冲动,直至后来又点几个油炸小馒头才勉强应付。哈哈

第二次的第一次

目比较奇怪,但感觉很好玩吧!又见周智的blog,离上次有一段时间了,那上面已经有了更多更充实的内容。上次看过之后,兴冲冲的在blogger建立 了一个账户,可是后来却一直也没有上来过,到刚刚又萌发了相同的念头的时候,却想不起the magic user/passwd pair了。决心这次会坚持下去,所以第二次建立了这个blog。不过这只是起这个题目的一部分原因。还有一部分原因是因为上次在从新加坡到华盛顿的飞机 上看了一部电影,叫"50 First Dates",说的是花花公子henry爱上女孩lucy,lucy因为一次车祸,大脑受到了损伤,虽然看起来与常人无异,但她的记忆只能保持一天。也就 是说,lucy始终生活在车祸发生前的一天,无论一天当中发生什么,第二天醒过来的时候,又像录像带倒带一样的回到了前一天的记忆。当然,lucy每天第 一次见到henry的时候,henry都是一个陌生人。但henry强就强在他能每天都通过不同的方式赢得lucy的爱。里面lucy有句很经典的话,就 是"nothing beats the first kiss",当然从影片的题目看来,应该说了至少50遍以上。henry的坚持不懈和乐观的态度很让人感动。当然,对于我来说,坚持不懈指的是坚持不懈地在blog上post!That's how this title comes from! :D
