Keyboard VS Piano?... PIANO!!!

today i woke up with nothing to do......................................................

and so after eating breakfast i watched my sister's keeper again. only this time on the big tv and not my computer. and this time all in one go without any pausing in the middle... and this time i shed another tear... yehp yehp i'm surprised myself... i mean yes i shed a tear the first time watching it in the movies.. but didn't expect myself to shed a tear the third time around...

either it's because;
a) i'm losing my touch
b) it's a really good and sad movie
c) both a and b

well in my opinion; YES... it's a terrific movie... exploring death... family issues... support... decisions... sacrifice........ basically explores life.... and for the record... i'm still not sick of watching it =D

i then got started on trying to learn how to read piano notes... so far i'm a full time newbie and still take ages to figure out which note corresponds to which key... haven't figured out a way to help me remember it yet... it's extremely confusing because the treble clef and bass clef notes represent different letters... i wish they kept it the same so that i just have to remember "FACE" and "Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit"... but noooo thats only for the treble clef... the base cleff consists of "All Cows Eat Grass" and "Great Big Ducks Fly Away" =.= yeah i don't think i'm gonna be able to remember all this and be able to know straight away what the note represents without reciting these phrases... and even if i could read the piano notes... i'm still having trouble remembering straight away which key on the keyboard is which letter... like i can remember that c is before 2 black keys.... but then i have to run the alphabet through my head for the rest... o.O is it just me or did i make no sense =.=.... anyway... i'm gonna try a different approach the next time i attempt to learn because i don't think the method they teach online really suits me... =.= never really liked letters [it reminds me of english] so i'm gonna try a mathematical approach which i've run through my head but is hard to explain in words so i'll refrain from doing so... i shall update on the success/failure of this new method once i've tested it out =]... i like how when i'm playing on the keyboard time just flies... but i hate how the keyboard doesn't have the same effects a piano gives off... as i was attempting to play Jay Chou - An Jing today the left hand needed to be quieter but the keyboard fails to give that effect =(... not to mention the keyboard doesn't hold as many keys as a piano and makes it a fail when i try to play J.S.Bach - Air on the G String... i really want a piano... =.=

also had an hours lesson of driving today... and will be having a 2 hours lesson at ingleburn tomorow morning before the test.. my test is at 10.45 so that means i gotta be up by 8 for an 8.30 lesson =.=.... i must say i'm getting kinda nervous... i don't wanna fail as it's a waste of time and money and i'd have to wait extra long before i can re-sit the test =(... ah well the big drumroll awaits tomorow and hopefully the verdict is a PASS!!!

so jealous much, jealoussica?
