Oh cassie, yes tats right there are so many interesting instrument in the world.. Best of luck wit tat competition! Actually, i'm wondering wat u guys do for a living..

Meeting people you know from the internet must bring father along to be safe.

Yes tats true..But i can bring other people besides my dad..haha

The concert went great, all tickets sold out and full house. I played Jay Chou's song, "Chrysanthemum terrace"

As for strings, actually it make not much difference for guzheng, I just use any brand available High end strings are just high on the price probably

Who wants guzheng I can recommend you some good quality and cheap one.

he is afraid u might think tat why an old ah pek invites a SYT back to his house... LOL !

to protect each other from lots of misunderstanding lor.... hahaha...

FYI :- Faceless is a gentleman. Empire and myself had a drink with him.

may I ask something? (out of the topic though.. haha)

what is SYT???

Micheal Jackson had a hit song called "PYT". The lyric revealed that PYT was the anchronym for "Pretty Young Thing". Every since then there had been many variation to PYT. It is up to your imagination. S = Sweet.

Subang,
I guess you will still go ahead and try the high end strings anyway. I think you will still adopt the "belum cuba belum tahu" appraoch to this matter.
Wow, very well said. Only another ah pek can understand ah pek

The other issue is the parents will be worried sick if they learn of such thing. To solve the problem let them tag along

bf??? If I am a pa I have even more to worry. Subang should know he had 2 girls.

Hahah, that is a cute description of what everyone is doing.

Now I wonder what everyone is studying or intend to study?

hey faceless! I just notice a change in ur avatar.. haha.. hav u cut ur hair or grown fatter?

Yes, the change in avatar reflect that recent changes in my appearence. I had a hair cut two days ago. I had decided to go back to a boy's hairdo. Now, I look like the guy next door. Back when we meet for the MPO concert, Empire and Subang had no problems finding me.

Luckily, I have not grown fatter. It is a lyn program that streches the picture to fit their allocate dimension. That had cause the picture to appear fatter. Since you mentioned fat, I think I will redraw the picture for the avatar. Thanks for the comments.

Subang,
You got nobody in your office that can speak mandrin meh? I thought you done enough business in china to know mandrin. I had a weird way with mandrin. When I hear mandrin I must see the chinese character in my brian. By the time I can picture the character, the speaker would had spoken one paragraph long

Carol from Sounds of China is a nice lady and very professional. I almost purchase my guzheng from her. My main consideration was getting the cheapest set because it may end up being a furniture. Her cheapest set was USD300 but transportation cost was USD550. It does not make sense to buy a set like this unless I was there for a visit which I intended to. I ended up buying from Macau because my sister wanted to tour Macau. Furthermore touring USA does not interest me. I am more in favour to go to the lands where dragons roam (I am a weird banana).

I still have not decided to buy a higher end guzheng if I did I will likely get a custome made Scarlett Bird from Carol. As it is now I am playing like I have no eyes. Cassie please comment. Each time I am in situation like this your comments lighted the way.

I dont have home minister like you but it does not mean I got big VISA. I have Empress Dowager, wor. I can get a lot of nag nag nag.

my personal things and business work no mix one.. i won't ask my PA to get info unless i am can't or not free to do it.
I thought i can managed; keah kiang.. end up kaput.

She told me she got 2 new arrived #10A and another 2 #10 in her shop now...

weird banana... same here... mayb me & my gals been living in kaw loh place for too long... not really even keen to go back for tour... i prefer 3rd world countries... my gals different. *sigh*

Dun worry Empress Cixi likes to have her cup of tea and grand kids.... hahahaha.

Yeah. It is this one of the factor that had turn me more and more china apek everyday.

LoL.. Faceless.. i dunno whether this time i can help you or not.. haha.. how come you are playing like you have no eyes? btw, did you get back both of your right and left hand already?

me a banana also.. i can listen and speak but cannot read.. haha.. really troublesome at times..

I am always making silly mistakes. Maybe it is because I am not listening as I use to. Now I have to play like Stevie Wonder. If I close my eyes, my ears becomes more powerful. So now I had to play 凤阳花鼓 again with my eye close. It is really amazing how well I play with eyes close. The problem is starting over. I am now pass the first three bars playing with my eyes closed.
