Rockstar dreams, remains a dream
I always have this dream that i would like to be musically inclined and be freaking good at it but i guess throughout the years growing up, i seem to have fallen short of living that dream.
Let's see: When i was young, my parents gave up giving me piano classes because i was slow and that could've made my parents pissed that they're paying so much for a tutor and i am not producing results. Then there was the point in time where i decided to pick up guitaring and took myself close to month to learn just the first riff of Dammit from Blink 182. Only at age 20 did i finally understand what 'bar chords' meant, where prior to that, i only know chords existed in the form of 'power chords'. Then in 2007 (i think), after years of being unwillingly active participating in the school band playing percussion, i bought myself a drumset in hopes that i could record myself playing to a song like those people on youtube does. 2 years later, i still can't tune a drum myself and the drumset is just sitting there for friends and relatives to go into my room and say 'wahhh' and collect dust.
Point is, as much as i would love to be a rockstar and swoon chicks over, I don't think that its practical to do so being a Singaporean.
That being said, my mom have decided that the best thing to do right now, is to get rid of the drumset and make way for something more useful; like a bed. (Currently, i sleep on a sofa bed which i cant even work my sorry ass to operate it to sleep on) Though i have plans of upgrading the set and as i look back on all the memories i had with this set, i guess i've eventually reached the point in my life where i begin to accept the fact that i should give up on this 'rockstar' dreams and focus more on pursuing my education while i'm still young.
Hence, my mom would be giving away the drumset to my uncle who has a son who is still in his teenage years where he himself have the same dreams that i had when i was his age. I guess its better that i do my part in giving someone the chance to try his luck with musical instruments rather than be selfish and leave the set in my room and deprive myself a chance of getting a comfortable bed to sleep on in years. Besides, i still have the yamaha keyboard to play with. At least it doesnt make my grandma shout like crazy when i play it, the way she does when i play the drumset. Yeah.
Well, i guess i'd be lying if i said i am not sad in letting go of the drumset but i guess its for the best. :(
bye
