Operation: Birthday Surprise (part 2)

Learning to play the piano without any knowledge on it can be tough.
Learning to play the piano without any knowledge or proper coaching is even tougher
Learning to play the piano without any knowledge or proper coaching and with both hands previously had multiple injuries, that probably is the toughest.

But it is something worth enduring in exchange for a memorable birthday. It's part of the birthday surprise that I'm planning for Alicia on her birthday. Been practicing it bit by bit since last year... er... I'm not sure exactly when I've started it but it's definitely a tough skill to master, especially with historical injuries on both of my hands. I've previously injured my hands while I was still practicing Taekwondo. Sob sob.... I can still feel the pain on and off.

The tunes that I'm currently learning are Can't Help Falling In Love (one of her favorite song) by the the King himself, Elvis Presley & Forever Love (one of my favorite song) by Gary Barlow. To master these two songs takes a lot of patience, practice and endurance. Why I say that?

• Patience - I tend to rush the learning curves, eager to find out the end result.

• Practice - I tend to forget the notes very easily, so I need to practice over and over again to remember it.

• Endurance - The injuries on my hands relapses while playing the piano therefore requires alot of endurance to overcome the pain. As the saying goes, no guts, no glory...

Nonetheless, I hope to pull this one off. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly...
