Today I chanced upon this video of Arcadi Volodos playing his own transcription of Mozart's Turkish march.. it's really fantastic! unbelievable that it's just one piano, one pianist.

With a Variable Key

With a variable key
you unlock the house in which
drifts the snow of that left unspoken.
Always what key yopu choose
depends on the blood that spurts
from your eye or your mouth or your ear.

You vary the key, you vary the word
that is free to drift with the flakes.
What snowball will form round the word
depends on the wind that rebuffs you.

~Paul Celan

Happie 2009 to all!

2008 is now history and it's time for us to move forward again, architects of the future! Hopefully in this coming year, everything would be smoothsailing and a satisfying year for us.. It's time to work hard again.. School is almost starting in a wk's time and it's time to de-rust my brain.. haha.. gotta start getting used to the hecticity of assignments, (rather than play), which I've been too used to for the past weeks..

Come to think of it, it just seemed yesterday that we ushered in 2008, and now it's over.. time really flies and soon i would be graduating. Haha, I really wish that time wouldnt go past so quickly.. I can already feel the weight of making decisions, and sometimes i think life is really a gamble.. when instincts come into conflict with logic/ reasonableness/ practicality.. what do we do? haha

Anyway... it's the first day of 2009.. Stay healthy and happie everyone!!! :)
