Firstly, Happy Birthday to Yee Yee. I just know her birthday from Mel today morning (when i am not even awake) lol. Glad i gave her a 'special Bday present' without noticing her bday yesterday :O

I have been discussing this issue with one of my supervisor yesterday night. Sometimes, we may think music students may not know anything besides playing songs, but it also can be true that they knows how to express 'something' by performing a song to us with different musical instruments. Probably my supervisor and i were both really a person who knows how to enjoy musics. I have a very good friend name yoong-yoong and in year 2002 when i am doing my degree (forgotten which year of degree), i have to compose a music for the digital media module. I asked her to help me to compose a song, and she composed one immediately for me in within 15 minutes, and i got a first class for that coursework. Impressive.

Once i paid a visit to Trentpark (my previous campus) and met this friend in one of the piano rooms. Coincidently, i have my mp3 player with me. We discussed very little about my knowledged of music, and she said she can of play some easy songs immediately through the play-by-ear concept. How true is that? Either that sounded like a genius or i do not really trust her by the skills she is refering to me, so I have decided to test her skills by letting her to listen to a song randomly for two times or so, and asked her to show me to play me the song.


Picture: A picture that i snapped from the video

Here is the actual video link

Impressive for a person who listened to the song for a few times and playing it by ear immediately after a minute (without practices). I will post something similar more if i am able to capture any other videos related to this, secretly of course :) lol.
