sticky keys cost me...

thru red, i got hold of mr ang's contact no.

i required his svc on piano tuning.

joy's kawaii piano has many sticky keys. for the last 3 yrs, the tuner would just turn up at my door, sit thru for half and hour or more, then left with $50-60 without much complaint. yet, the sticky keys issue nvr got solved.

this time round, mr ang took the whole spare part back home to repair. plus tuning, the cost will come up to $400. he commented that's joy's piano is for beginners' learning and casually asked,"what grade is ur daughter learning now?"

i replied,"diploma!"

he expressed shock, since he thot the piano was really more suitable for just below lower grade learners. then, joy happened to pass by and gave me a smug look,as if telling me,"see, mom. i still managed to get good grades, despite learning on such lousy piano!"

in fact, this girl was so lame, citing that she would pick up a skill of playing sidebyside on 2 pianos, if we were to get her an extra one. this was the result of her watching a taiwan show perfce at popo's house last fri.

of coz not, joy. 1st issue, space constaint. 2nd issue, no money. 3rd issue, u will not be able to squeeze time to practise.

in fact, i will be happy if joy can squeeze out some time to read up more....until today, i'm still on same old issue...read more, learn more and enjoy the knwledge acquisition. dun study for exams sake, that's the most lame excuse to study.

anyway, hping that her piano keys will all be fine and i'll hear more melodious piano sound in my home, in a week's time.
