My Piano

Tonight was definitely one of the saddest night of my life. Was feeling horrible, sad and just wrecked. Couldn't help but to actually break down in front of my piano (or keyboard, but I prefer to call it piano heh). But crying felt really good, like really good.

Can't believe it's been about 6 years since this piano of mine accompanied me here in Singapore. I bought it on September 07, still remember. And since then, it definitely made my life here so much better. Back then I didn't think of this night, of tomorrow.

Of course I couldn't possibly bring this home, for it's too heavy and plus I have another one back at home. So I was left with two choices, sell/donate it, or give it to someone else. I would choose the latter. For I want to make sure my piano lands on a person who will use it earnestly, and happily. Selling it was the last thing on my mind. Who knows it will land to someone who will abuse it - rather than enjoy its time together?

So I found a friend whom I decided to give my piano to. And I know she will treat it well. At least my heart is at peace.

We played covers, write songs, sing songs (who cares if I'm not a good singer) but ultimately:

I can't bear to let it go, to say goodbye. The piano is a non-living thing that is as alive and as good as a friend can be. When I'm sad he brightens me up, when I'm angry he calms me down. When I have a problem I share it with him. He may not give me the solution but he will at least calm me down. He's really my good friend since sec 2. Someone who is there, when no one isn't.

And it's just hard to say farewell to him.

I will miss those days where I would play the piano looking at the sky. Cause it made me feel like I can do anything. Those days when my day feels like shit and he brightens everything up.

Well to my piano, my Yamaha P-70 Electronic piano, thank you for everything. For being a great friend, a good listener, a wonderful teacher . Thank you for your kind words, your kind company. And thank you for the music. Basically, for everything.

May you bring joy to your new owner as much as you did bring to me in these past 6 years. I will treasure you and the moments that we had together for life. So once again,

Thank you for everything :')
