I feel so old...
This morning I go to the Buddhist Fellowship's Brahm Education Centre to play piano for some of the kids, who are going to perform at Ngee Ann City next month, with the Soracco musical group. When I enter the room, there are about ten kids screaming and running around... generally, making a ruckus.
I go to the main room to fetch the keyboard. Ai Ling gets the kids of sing "Wheel of Life". I try to accompany them by listening to the singing.
The moment I hit the keys, the kids swarm around me like bees attracted to honey.
Or people who have never seen a keyboard or a keyboardist playing a keyboard playing in their young lives.
Until Ai Ling has to call them to go back and sing and now crowd around the keyboard.
Then she introduces me to the kids: "Uncle August will play the piano for you all..."
UNCLE AUGUST.
Twenty years old and I am called "uncle".
Jeez. I really feel old :P
