I wouldn't say that teaching guitar is my dream or passion.. but teaching guitar was something i had wanted to do for a long time..

I've learnt guitar since the end of Form 2.. I had my 1st performance in Form 3.. I nv really had any formal training whatsoever.. I learnt mostly from seniors in my high school back then.

Since then, I found that my passion in music was actually guitar and not piano that i have been learning since 6? I don't really remember.

Anyway.. I've been playing guitar ever since..

I still remember I saw my seniors playing guitar n my friends singing the song Eternal Flame to it..I fell in love with guitar instantly.. I went home n told my dad:" Hey.. U know what, I saw my seniors playing guitar in school n its pretty cool.. I wanna learn guitar.." n guess what?? Not long after that, I saw a new guitar in my house.. my dad actually bought a guitar for me~! I can't tell u how happy I was.. Although it was an ordinary Fair Lady guitar (similar to Kapok), I still loved it..

My mum enrolled me in my 1st guitar class.. I was there for about a month or so n the guitar teacher stopped teaching.. then i sorta changed to another teacher who i thought i was wasting my time there cuz i couldnt really get anything frm him.. well thats the end of my acoustic guitar classes..

I kept on playing until 1 day in form 4, I wanted to try out classical guitar.. so i went n learn classical guitar from another teacher.. he was da greatest guitar teacher i've ever had.. he taught me lots of values n views on life other than classical guitar.. although in the end, i found out i still liked acoustic guitar more n i stopped my classes, i still keep in contact with this particular teacher.. Mr. Albert (also known as Mr. Bert) n hez Hainanese by the way.. A pretty crazy 1! 1 of the most talented bassist i've ever seen too~

After i graduated from high school, i went to Malacca MMU n proceeded there... i went on participating in various events n performances. Same goes for Cyberjaya mmu after i went there for my degree..

Since then i have changed a few guitar.. The 1st 1 was Fair Lady, 2nd was an unknown brand (I have donated it to my music club after i graduated from high school), 3rd was my Yamaha C-70 (classical guitar), 4th was my good old Yamaha APX-3... and the Taylor guitar that i'm currently using is in fact my 5th guitar.. after my Yamaha APX-3 died.. Yes it was killed by my ceiling fan.. I accidentally held it too high up~ T.T


Every since i graduated from Form 5, I've thought of teaching guitar while waiting for my results.. I got my offer letter to MMU soon after n I never got to teach guitar...

I had a chance to teach guitar in my foundation year in Malacca.. I was helping the guitar teacher out as a tutor in the guitar class.. its was very fun actually.. to teach friends..

Now i have a chance to teach guitar again.. My roomie's friend is looking for guitar teachers for her music academy.. i'm kinda interested but my dad doesn't seem to approve of it.. He says I shouldn't be teaching guitar since i'm in my final year already.. I was thinking the opposite. I'm already in my final year n i really hope i get to do the things i like before i graduate.. after that, i might not have the time or the opportunity to do so anymore..

Oh well.. we'll c how it goes on thursday.. meeting up with the person in charge.. :)
