cry.gif

finally the day has come, for those who have yet talked to me before should know i got some problem regarding having a music instrument in my house so here goes.. sweat.gif

Today after finishing my routine college class, went straight to home and guess what? my grandparent come for a visit with some cousin,first i was happy they came but later on they asked me to sit in the living area for a moment and i thought this could be a bad omen since their face shows some serious expression ohmy.gif

first they asked me bout hows college going etc ( all the nice stuff b4 they bring the worst question ) and then BAM!.. my grandma goes to my room and take out my musical instrument with the help of the cousin. And they start nagging bout why you play music? and many other (pedas question) i can barely hold my anger at that point but heck.. if i talk it will make thing worse, my opinion doesn't seems to mean anything to them and they come up with a collusion so that i would get the instrument out of the house before they thrash them to pieces cry.gif

my parent dint help much in this matter, they also join forces with my grandparents while lecturing me non stop for like.. 1 1/2 hours!


i really need some opinion in this guys, shud i just leave my instrument at a friend house? there's the second problem.. i dun have ANY friend that lived near me.. cry.gif

or the second option.. sell THEM! shocking.gif
its a very hard option since the instrument that i own barely reach 2 months! ( STILL NEW!! cry.gif )

help me guys, I WANT to keep the instrument but at the same time.. i dun want to disappoint my family for not taking the issue seriously.. and they wont stop nagging me everyday since the day grandparent visit (>_<)

QUOTE(blacktrix @ Nov 19 2008, 01:09 AM)
The original point of music was a form of self expression. I'm sorry that your parents don't have the same views, but if you can, try to convince them.

I would suggest taking them out for dinner at a club like Alexis. Say that you are sorry for all the trouble you caused and want to make it up to them by taking them out for a nice dinner. Now, what they DON'T know is that alot of great jazz musicians and artists jam and play at restaurants like these. Just have casual talk and when the band comes on and play through a view of their set, just tell them you would aspire to play like these people. Then tell them that music really makes you happy and in a way, releases the stress from your daily grind at college. If you don't have a release, you might just break from the pressure and that music is your ticket out of a mental institution.....

2 pluses with this is that,
a) It's a public place so they can't raise their voices.
b) it's a great way to show them how wonderful music can be

Again, this is how "I" would handle a situation like this. Basically, you need to explain why music is important to you and why it isn't so bad as they might think it would be.

Of course, there is the extreme way of running away from home with your instruments and trying to make a career as a gigging musician (lots of great rock & rollers, blues players and metal heads start of EXACTLY like that), but again..... that's the EXTREME way

darn.. nice move blacktrix but that doesn't simply works for me, student like me hardly cant afford to enter Alexis

QUOTE(ah_heng @ Nov 19 2008, 01:17 AM)
what musical intruments u got and why they dun like u playing it? I thought parents nowadays like to send their kids to study musics
*
its guitar ( got electric+acoustic and classical ) actually i got 4 guitar with me 2 acoustic 1 classical and 1 electric

QUOTE(Why^Me @ Nov 19 2008, 01:25 AM)
haha... last time i bring my guitar home, i said that i borrow it from my fren...
then they stop asking.
*
i told them earlier back then when i purchase the guitar, cant simply resist to tell them i started playing guitar.. but it turn out to be the opposite reaction, they hate it but i still stick with the guitar until i stumble on this BIG wall atm! cry.gif

QUOTE(ken0777 @ Nov 19 2008, 02:12 AM)
Don't fret bro... Keep the passion... put your guitar somewhere safe and keep it at a fren's place... Well no choice you have to obey your parents will also... But slowly convince them that you are mature enough to balance music and study... Earn their trust and more importantly... Just listen to them first...
*
listen to them is the only option now..


QUOTE(Everdying @ Nov 19 2008, 04:57 PM)
also since u say got no friends living nearby...
this would be a good opportunity to go talk to that cute girl next door and see if shes willing to help

Haha! my neighbor family originated from India and pretty hard to talk with them since they not too cater to have a chat!

taking your advise, I did it! and this is the result..

user posted imageuser posted image

1 of my acoustic guitar got whacked by my dad using his knee, this happen after the debate* went pretty hot.. luckily my dad randomly pick a santa cruz acoustic among those 4 guitar.. still.. its my loss cry.gif ( this picture taken while me cleaning up the mess my dad done, gotta removes the strings before somebody get hurt! )

the debate resulting by 1 of my guitar got Whacked! and a new serious demand, i had to sell all my guitar and and show them the money, any cheating like sending to a friend, lending to a friend or anything equals to it shall not be tolerated.. i might be thrown out of the house if i were caught telling lies shocking.gif cry.gif

usually my dad would not go this far but.. my grandparent insist my parent needs to be more tougher on me, u spoil your son too much something like that la

i had to do what i had to do, sell 1 or 2 of the guitar and hide the other one at my college.
I'll take and upload some pictures in the garage sale section later on this weekend cry.gif

lastly all i want to say is Thank You for all your support and advise, seeing so many respond and how positive u guys can be make me cry in my heart. i`ll not stop my desire and passion for music yet! but still... life must go on,just like a wheel, sometimes you are up and some time you are down


Thanks For Your All Support Guys, i love u all! wub.gif

Phew! finally i can get online! tongue.gif
Wow! there a lot of response! thanks guys notworthy.gif

oh! my grades are good, not excellent like most of u guys but above average biggrin.gif

back to the story continuation, a week after the incident that my dad broke the guitar, he bought be a new phone, i dun understand at first but i think it is the way he shows that he sorry for what he had done to my guitar. And he also said that for this time please just follow what he asked me to do. soon enough i figure i should listen to what my parents requested and respect their decision. nod.gif

and yeah, i put my guitar back at my uncle house for the meantime, after i told all my dad did to me bout the new phone and stuff to my uncle, he concluded that i should sell my guitar, if i cant bear to lose all of them drastically, he told me to sell them 1 by 1. ohmy.gif

so for the start, i wish to sell my Yamaha F310 and later so on with the electric. i already post it in Garage Sales section.
