My Aspiration
I was 10 years old then when I started to have an interest in dance and music . Music is my life and dance has been my passion . I listen to music every single day , morning , afternoon and night .
I listen to different types of music in Chinese , Japanese , Korean , Malay and English languages . I love all kinds of genre . I rarely listen to Heavy metal because it makes my head spin like a wheel . To me , Hip Hop is the best because i could dance along with the music . In school , i join the Malay dance group . We will perform at Community Clubs . I will get nervous each time when it's my group's turn to perform .
As days passed , I became more and more professional . I became better and not being scared of crowds . I performed well and audience like my friends , schoolmates and teachers gave my group some good comments . We created our dance by ourselves as no one wanted to guide us . We believed that we could do it by ourselves .
For now , I am interested in playing instruments . If there is an opportunity , I would like to try playing guitars and drums . My brother plays the guitar and he inspires me to try it . It looks like a fun thing to do . For drums , I would also like to try it . If there is a chance , I will try my best to do it . Who knows i might be a musician some day right ? :)
