Dear
Diary,
This morning, I woke up in the gorgeous hotel of Enchanted Waters
in Tobago. I went there with Mom, Papa, Vinod, Vijay and his son Varick. We
came upon the T&T Express. On that trip, I sat on the overview of the
staircase, next to a group of nice men in their religious clothing and they were talking for some time. I sat there in one spot
for the three-hour trip and didn’t make a single move. I even had time to fall asleep and wake up back in time to hear the rest of the conversation.
It was about 12:37 PM when I went over to their main hall.
They had a lovely old upright piano. Mom got me permission to try it out. It
belonged to their son Roger. His mother, Marcia Patino, removed a cloth
covering it and my heart was warmed by the sight of the piano. It was old and the
keys were a bit stiff to press down. This is what made me appreciate it and plus it still had the right pitches to each key.
I played some of the pieces I learned for the A.B.R.S.M. Grade 2 Music Practical Examination. I never got to do the Exam from Dr. Brunner's classes but the music was nice. And to crown it off, I concluded the playing with Titanic I played from Hema’s Wedding. It was the melody part alone. I had to leave soon after because mom had already cooked lunch and everyone was already back at the table near the pool getting ready.
(Update)
Just looking back at the memory and this new Goggle Blog journal, I really wished that I could have taken a picture of the piano. As time went by too the images that we took from the experience are too difficult to locate.
