Throughout my life, music indeed own a special place inside me. In my head, I dream myself as a pianist. Little did I know that Pro’Sa Mania gives me a little bit of spice and somehow I ended up being a percussionist instead. It is a bit out of topic but while scrolling through my rants over here, I have a little riddle for you,

Why did a picture go to jail?

Keep reading till the bottom for answer!

Rewind back, it all started on 16th May 2019. I took the interview for Pro’Sa Mania musician as pianist. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the position as pianist. But it is alright! There’s still future up ahead! However, life as a percussionist is not that bad. It is just a different instruments anyway. Hold on, you might be thinking I’m playing drum or something. Actually…

Ignore the mallet. I can’t find my mallet at that time

I play the vibraphone and marimba/xylophone! Interesting out of 10. As a definite pitch percussionist, at least I let my eyes rest by reading only the treble clef. Unlike piano, I need to read the bass clef as well. Anyways, it was a fun experience.

Why did a picture go to jail?

Because it was framed!
