A piece for you
Music has always been a part of my life. Since I was young, I had an interest in playing the keyboard. I think it was during kindergarten when my dad bought me a mini-keyboard not longer than 10 inches, and it became my constant companion. After much pleading through the subsequent years, my parents finally agreed to let me take up piano lessons (in pri 3).
Although I slowly lost interest after learning for 4-5 years, I still enjoy playing non-classical pieces (usually english pop songs). Being a lazy person, I hate (to the power of 5) reading scores! And so I started to learn the skill of improvisation (read "avoiding reading scores"). 
It was not only after I finished my A levels when I finally tried to "compose" my own original piano piece. Nothing great, but it was quite fun writing scores and brainstorming on how to get the tune to sound nice. Since then, I’ve like completed around 10 short pieces (yeah, really short.. around 3-4 minutes per piece), but unfortunately didn’t have the time to continue my passion since I started working.
Well, I hope I will be able to find time soon, to rekindle my passion for writing simple pieces and playing them. Holidays, when will you come?
Anyway, here’s a piece that I’ve done somewhere in mid 2003. It’s still untitled.. anyone has any suggestion how I should name it?

The starting sounds really familiar. I keep thinking of two words when the music played. Ha ha. “Letting Go”?
