hand made stuffs

Every time I visit the crafter's blog, I can't subdue myself try to make something. I bought lots of tools, elements to do but thing I couldn't find is Japanese fabrics. I'm so jealous with crafters who can buy it easily.

Beside embroidering, I learned to make these things by hand sewing.

blog updates

It's nearly 3 months I didn't post anything. My blog is frozen. There are many things happened in the last 3 months. After finishing the piano course at Suoi Nhac, I've not taken any course yet. I've learned little by little. These are 2 of 4 songs I've leaned.

Canon In D - Brian Cain:

And Rain by Brian Cain:


30 August 2010 is the worst day in my life when my grandpa passed away. He's is the person I love most in my life. Not only the rest 32 members in family but also relatives, neighbors, and acquaintances were mournful. He flew to heaven but we still remember him so much. Every night when I close my eyes, his images appears. Everything what happened with him are shown in my mind. He was very sick few months ago, but he always said OK when I made a call for him. He always smiled. I remember his smiles so much, like angel's smile.

things

Yeah, I didn't write anything for along time because I was so busy (not really).

I've bought PX730 3weeks ago. That's a great choice. I love my piano so much. It made me feel so comfortable to touch the frets on it. I've been learning piano at Suoinhac school for 2 months. My teacher, young girl, is very close, cute and enthusiastic. She always makes me feel flexible to study.

And this is my very first song that I've learned, Canon in D. It's just a short part but the most difficult part.

I love to play some old Vietnamese song, but my current level doesn't allow me to do that. haha. I'll try someday.

Yamaha DGX 630 & Casio Privia PX 730

I've been looking for an electric for months. At the first time, I tried to choose a second-hand one because it's suit my finance. On the other hand, if I can not pursue my dream or my wrist is too hurt to play, I won't feel wasted. However, now I think I should try a new one. I'm confusing between Yamaha DGX 630 and Casio Privia PX730. There are many similarities and differences between them regarding to their looks, features, and prices.
Firstly, the looks of the two kinds of electric piano are greatly different. DGX630 is much larger than PX730, I think. DGX630 has a huge size with many button and a LCD above the range of frets while PX730 is very neat and smaller than an up-right piano. The size is an important thing to me because my room is very small. When I saw the real DGX530 at the store, I was shock because I thought it's small like a normal organ.

Secondly, the features of the two piano have some differences and similarities. They have 88 weighted key which gives the real feeling to the player. However, PX730 has much more feeling than DGX630 with 3 levels of sound when you press the key. Because DGX630 is an organ which has piano feature, it's just an organ with many tones, rhythms,... On the other hand, PX730 has just piano feature with some options of sound such as modern piano, classic piano...

Finally, the prices of the two are almost same. While DGX630 costs 750$, PX730 takes 789$. However, with 789$, you can buy a suit of PX730 including stand, pedals... As a result, PX730 much cheaper than DGX630.

In sum, with many conveniences, PX730 maybe a good choice for me. I decide to buy it next month.

P/s: one more thing I couldn't compare is the piano sound. I just compared the piano sound of PX730 with PX130 and CDP-200R. My conclusion is that the piano sound of PX730 is the best. It is strong and warm like real piano sound.

back to Speaking Club

It's a very long time I didn't speak English because I stopped joining our Speaking club, although I myself founded this club. :D

When I asked Nghĩa changed the regular meeting day to Sunday, he was happy to do that. And I have time to join frequently.

I was very happy to meet Mr. Nick - a nice English teacher from ILA. There were two old friends, Mr.Tân - a fun guy who always asks "how can...?", and Nghĩa - a very kind younger brother who has never been missing any meeting. And there were two new comers. One is my friend, Đức, who is very good at English and is admired by the others in club. haha... One is Nick's student at ILA, Vinh, who is a student and has a plan to take Toefl test next month. Oanh was absent because she had something important to do.

After stopping speaking English for a long time, I realized that my speaking skill is worse. Although we didn't talk about something difficult. Haizz, I need to try harder. Another inconvenient thing is there a small concert in Soida Coffee shop every Sunday, so that we cannot feel free to talk. It was noisy and the music also distracted my mind. hehehe. I intend to change to another place.

something

Long time ago, I realized the power of language. If you have a good ability of using language to explain what you think, what you want, you will be successful.

Unfortunately, I don't have that ability. But I'm trying to be good at it, not only in Vietnamese but also in English.

I also encourage my dear try to write again, his writing is very good.

My wrist joint is still hurt. After playing guitar, it's more painful. huhuhu. That's why my piano learning progress has just stopped in short term. Additionally, I can't play badminton. so sad huh?
