Music.

Once, someone asked me,
"Why do you sing?"
And I said, "Cause it's
what I love to do."

Music is one way where everyone and
anyone can express themselves out.
I know I don't have the voice of a diva
or a wonderful singing voice at all but
singing just lets me relax.

When I'm stressed out or think that
everything's going down, I sing.
I lock myself up in my room, grab my guitar
and sing. Just simply, sing.
What do I sing about?
Anything really. Any song that I feel
can relate to my feelings and the situation that
I'm stuck with.

It struck me that I wanted to be passionate about
playing the guitar and sing when I was very young
but I didn't really thought I was capable enough
of doing so. Everyone was better at me and I knew
I couldn't be known as the girl who can sing and
play the guitar. I still am not but hey, if
I have the passion to do both things, I'll do it.

One strong influence that got me stuck
to music and the meaning of it was and still
is, is my Dad. Yep, the old man may be cracking fatherly
jokes and is always clumsy but my dad knows his music.
When he was younger and not yet retired(haha),
he was a journalist and part-time lyricist.
He brought me to concerts and events where I could see
all those successful artist and all.
And no, not Michael Jackson or Mariah Carey but
singers who have made it far in the music industry
locally. Specifically, the malay music industry.
I know it might not be a "wow" thing for you,
but it was for me. It's fascinating, really.

Anyyyywayyyyyy, enough about the boring stuff.
What I'm trying to say is that everyone of
us needs a way to let loose of our emotions.
Be it by dancing, screaming with the pillow
covering your face, throwing handphones to the
walls of your house (hahaha) or sleeping:)
The way I do it is by singing.

This is sorta a random post but it was
what I thought about while sitting in the library
alone. haha!


have a great day ahead!:)
