20260710 Mui’s First Classical Piano and Opera House Visit

 10/7/26

Ha! Just came back from a Classical Piano Duo performance by the Latsos hubby and wife!

A first to this Zarith Sofiah Opera House @ R&F JB and also a first to attend a classical piano performance!

Thanks to the offer of this free ticket at rm158 each by our PB friend. Attendance was so low that the organizer decided to give out the free tickets to her last min.  So I grabbed the opportunity to have a look at this inside of the Operaj House and also to “appreciate “ classical piano pieces.  I am more into the pop piano but quite fascinated by classical too. 

Guess difficult to entice pp to listen to classical piano now as per Latsos sharing just now.  Whatever, I appreciate their performance of the 4 Hand pieces. 20 fingers on the piano. 😂 Worth mentioning was that they performed the famous Schindler’s list theme song using the 4 Hand 🤚 🖐️ ✋ 🤚 

It has been an amazing 3 weeks. Seen the Teochew Ah Ma on Big screen.  Attended my friend’s music composition for the Queenstown 15min outdoor performance.  And tonite into the Opera house to listen to classical piano pieces!

With this perhaps I think I can apply for the post of the Minister of Culture should the present Mr David decided to step down cos he has no time to watch movies.  I appreciate Ah Beng heartlanders to the socialite class of Chopin & Brahms? 😂

Well here’s a glimpse of this ZS Opera house!

20260708 : James1:2 Pure Joy?

 Happened to read James 1:2. 

Huh? Consider it pure joy when we face trials of many kinds?

Thinking of my recent AI song “ BRING JOY”

Can joy be pure? lol  PURE JOY?

After my flu jab on 9/6? My little left index finger started “triggering”! It refused to unbend itself unless I used the other hand to “force it” up! Ouch!

Today is 8/7. Almost a mth now. I realised that this little finger has affected my joy of guitar playing! Change of the chords had been affected! Oh no!

I also just realised that when one part of the body hurts? Yah it hurts indeed. Testing of my faith? Is this my trial?

Joy taker? LOL

But guess I need to press on. 

Persevere. 

Rem James 5:13 Pray. Sing . May the Lord heal my little trigger index pointer finger! Soon!!!
