路小雨

Secret is so addictive.

After watching the movie in cinema more than a month ago, the scenes of the movie are still in my mind. I had to watch the movie over and over again on youtube to satisfy the addiction. I think I had already watched the movie 5 or 6 times, excluding the time I watched it in the cinema. The tunes and music in the movie are becoming popular pieces that people will play in the canteen. That cannot be blamed. Because the pieces are FRIGGIN nice. I think the "piano battle" scene was awesome and I like the pieces, Secret and Lu Xiao Yu.

The purpose of Secret is so damn cool. A piece to play to travel twenty y_a_s in t_m_. I leaved some letter blank as I do not wanna be a spoiler for those who have not watch the movie yet. Hahaha. My other favorite has gotta be Lu Xiao Yu, 路小雨. This piece was named after the Chinese name of the female protagonist in the movie, Rain. After Rain mysteriously disappeared, when Jay, the male lead, misses her, he played this piece while imagine she was there playing with him. That's so... Romantic. Haha.

Actually there's another reason why I love this piece. And it's because I'm secretly in love with Xiaoyu! xD I'm in love with her simpleness and plainness. She might not be the prettiest around but she just have this thing in her that mesmerize people. A sense of mysterious. Well, after all, simplicity is beauty.

I'm not a pianist, I didn't learn how to play a piano when I was a small, small kid. So, I can be call a piano-idiot. But for Lu Xiao Yu, I MUST LEARN! xD

So, I got the scores and asked Chen Xi to teach me that. Lu Xiao Yu is a piece played using three hands, although I see people on youtube able to play it using two hands. I'd already finished learning the part for the one hand and I'd been learning the two-hands part for very, very, very long already. But I'm still not good at it. Despite people saying this piece is easy to play or what (I think so, too =_="), I still find it hard to play it using my own fingers. They're too stiff, I guess. Maybe I should just chop them off.

Anyway, here are some videos of me playing the piece with Chen Xi. It looks quite gay when two guys play it, huh? I'm playing the one-hand, by the way.

It's so hard to get Chen Xi to take videos properly. Here's evidence:


He finally agrees. But we made too many mistakes:


And, we finally gave up:


Alright, that's all for now.
