music is my life, art feeds the soul.

music plays a big part of my life, same goes for arts. i still remember back in the days when i am a toddler, i used to have breaksfast 2 doors away from my dad's office. almost every other weekend i will be there, and right between the restaurant and my dads office, its a half shop selling cassettes. mum would sometime bring me in when she heard some nursery rhyme, and i would want to pick the set with a song book with coloring feature on it. i will then play the cassette on a small player at my mums room and sing along with it. but thats not the end of the story, the song book usually has coloring feature on it. and then i would like to see how these people draw mary and the lamb, baby in the rocker,  london bridge and this goes on. and i will want to color these things, because its a fused of song book and coloring book.

as i grow up, we would never skip the era of tommy page, mc hammer, vanilla ice, michael jackson, duran duran and many more, i only get the chance to buy 1or 2 cassette in a year, i would mingle around looking and looking for the best buy, in this case would be the artist i like most with the cheapest price.

when i enter the teen hood, i would save money to buy 1 cassette every month. not long after that i started to go very differently in selecting the album. i buy cassettes with nice album art, when i open up the cassette i would be a little bit depress if the album only has a cover without lyrics and heaps of album art. but through this weird selection process, it had help me to discover a lot of great bands and great artist. back then its not like how it is today, back then living in a small town with very little exposure of public mall music, not mentioning about internet free environment and raising in a typical community, getting exposed to foreign music is very very very very limited.

so i have been growing with musics, lots of them, every different time, with every different kinda tune, rap, trip hop, hip hop, rnb, soul, reggae, ragga, alternative, punk, rock, metal, universal, drum and base, trance, and many many more. 1 thing i can conclude, these music don't only come in to as a tune or rhymth, it came to me with more than that. ART. images, colors i can't describe, these things flows in motion, i am not sure any one of u has that. sometimes when i play music, i would imagine thousands of picture forming a stop motion of some event.

thanks you music, thank you art. even now i still doesn't achieve anything in arts. but i am happy i got u.


ps: dear mummy and my precious, if u read this, don't worry, both of u are way above it, as i put both of u before my life.
