One more month, and 2nd semester will be starting. How time flies! Looks like I gotta hurry up and touch up on a couple of my pieces for sem 2, especially Kapustin's Etude No. 7 - Intermezzo. One hella difficult jazz etude piece, but niceeeee. :)


Just rewatched Passion of Christ last night. Oh God, that is one movie that never fail to well-up tears in my eyes. Super touching, especially after listening to a new song "We Are the Reason" by Avalon. Super touching!

After watching the movie and listening to the song, I come to realise that I've always wanted and requested for something every Christmas since young. But, I failed to realise how blessed I am, to be born on the same date as Him, Jesus Christ. Listening attentively to the lyrics of the song "We Are the Reason", I realised what's the use of all the Christmas gifts, when He was the greatest gift that I could ever have. No other gifts or presents can ever replace His ever-living presence. He gave all He could give, to show us the reason to live. Thus, we were the reason that He suffered and died, for our sins.



For God so loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believe in Him may not die but have eternal life.
[John 3:16]

All because of love, Lord, all because of love. You suffered all for us, all for our sins. Thank you, for being the greatest gift of our lives. We were the reason, Lord, that You gave your life. And, may all glory be Yours.

Maksim Mrvica

Born in Sibenik, a small, but beautiful medieval town on Croatia’s Adriatic Coast, the odds seemed stacked against Maksim achieving his dream.

It wasn’t long before it became obvious to Maksim’s teachers that he had a rare talent and the boy was enrolled in Sibenik state music school.

Thereafter, Maksim won his first ever competition in 1993.

The judge stopped the competition after his performance without even considering the other contestants, and announced him as the winner at the age of 18; merely 9 years after learning piano.
