first u have to strip it naked... and look nicely, front, side, back, top, and, below...
And look near, close enough to see every single small little details, and of course, have some hands on...
Next you have to examine every single small little part, how it works, the physiology, and how it hit the correct note...
By practical approach, u can perfect your knowledge on certain anatomy and physiology, and so i realize, after stripping and dissecting a piano to learn about it's anatomy, I realized that what I've put my hands on after 5 years learning human's anatomy in IMU was just this: Plastics made from components like malamine maybe?
Everybody around me would be familiar with Super Mario. A game so so so famous during our childhood times now being replaced with Dota and Counter strike. This game was initially played on game consoles MicroGenius, and later on developed into Nintendo games, and subsequently into 3D mode for Playstation.
It was so so fun playing this game, at least that time, as a kid, for me. Okay now i would think this is lame, to go after some moving mushrooms, then growing into gigantism, and eating flowers to enable Mr Mario to shooooooot fireballs like some dragonball guy, but still, it felt like i've played it yesterday night.
So then i heard this song played on piano one day, and the search began on youtube for this song, piano version.
Apparently this main theme was written by a japanese pianist Koji Kondo, which he also called himself the Blind Folded Pianist. But i couldnt find any video on this original guy who named himself the blind folded pianist playin this song blind folded. Instead i found this weirdo nerdy guy playin this song so much faster than the original guy , better stil, he played it BLIND FOLDED!
check it out:

look at the way he move his fingers and how he flowed the way through with the music. Ok the sound quality was bad, and his piano was cheapo stuff.:p
So i started practising the songs, and seriously it sounds cool. Seriously, if u guys think electric guitar's cool, playin this song blind folded like this nerdy fella is way cooler....hahaha...I meant his skills, duh...
The piano score for the main theme are as follow:
Leave me some comment if u want anymore of the piano scores for the other themes....oh i love this song....
This photo shown here is a koi pond. Koi, pronounced as ko-ee, meaning japanese carp. They are bred in Japan and imported while they were still young. Why are they so precious? Because they're expensive... one baby koi costs you at least about RM100. Of course when there're the imported one, there'll be locally produced one. And a locally produced baby koi costs? RM1, for 10 of them!
So why are japanese Koi expensive? Cuz they are bred in Japan. And Japan is a high tech country with a Sun on their flag. So what?, just breed them locally and make urself big bucks! The answer is, nahhh, u cant. Why? cuz Malaysia has one hell hot weather which makes all the Japanese Kois go 'sterile' and erectilly dysfunctional; while the local kois evolved and have high sperm count and possibly high libido all year round.
To maintain a koi pond takes alot of effort, time and energy. The pond's filter system, air pump system and the water pump play the most pivotal role. Although Kois are fresh water creature, u need salt to maintain the oncotic pressure and also to provide an ideal environment for the mucous formation on their scale as a protective mechanism. The filter needs to be well set up and frequently washed. It has to be made up of at least a few sections of bio filters, UV rays and some profesionals recommend Carbon or Sand filter.
The popularity of Kois on the other hand, however, came from history in Japan a few thousand years ago when they ATE them as part of their meals, just like salmon. And some smart Japo guy started cross breeding them, between the black and the red ones, to get the mixed coloured. And between the mixed coloured ones to get the dirtily mixed ones. And they started naming each one of them with some hi-tech names like Kohaku, Sanke, Showa, SuShui, Ogon, Obama....nah, just kidding about the Obama thingy... And so they made themself millionaires, and they're part of Japanese History in Japanising the Globe......Just like what Sushi King is doing...
Below are some photos of my Kois...Not the best quality, but still, my precious...
This however was taken with slower shuttle speed and smaller aperture: Tada...artistic mou?:)
With the advancement of technology and widespread usage of the internet, I've always kept myself updated with current national or international news or events. The local newspapers are famous for their partially transparency in their reportings. The worst newspaper would be the one getting sued by famous politician left right centre, u know which one I'm saying.
However my favorite source of updated news would be of course the spider's home- Web. As it's name implies, it indicates the widespread coverage and a well formed network.
Below are the websites I think it's useful:
www.thestar.com.my - although its TheStar website, they constantly update their news.
www.malaysiakini.com - This is a subcription based website, however the BM version is free. Dont ask me why...
www.youtube.com - huh? okok, u have to search for "malaysia kini" on the search toolbar, and enter the malaysiakini account. These videos are only assessible for PAID subscriber from Malaysia Kini but in YouTube, they're FREE. Lots of interesting videos and news which u cant find on TV.
www.malaysia-today.com - Wanna know how Raja Petra got detained? go check this website out.
