Being a violinist

Hi all long time nvr blog liao abit sian plus dunno what to write but from today onwards there's something for me to write about and that is my violin and me being a violinist from today onwards....strange and hard to believe right but its true i went to but my first Acoustic violin today at Bras Basar Complex near city hall mrt station...the shop was quite big but thanx to the instruments there was hardly much sapce to walk...lucky matthaeus went with me today else i sure kana scam one..haha..i bought a size 4/4 violin for $170 ..and thats suppose to be cheap at first we wanted to take the $140 one but matthaeus say the quality not good so we bought the $170 instead lucky the price includes everything like the case, bow and shoulder rest if not need to pay more...then after buying we went to church to hangout abit and do some worship at the same time..after worship we hangout abit more then tried to get the tuning of my violin correct and get my bow to have enough rosin so that there will be sound...but something which gave me a shock happened one of my 4strings which played the highest note and is the thinest broke..wah sian lor...but cannot blame matthaeus lah cause is i force him to help me tune one...ok well thats all for the time being..will blog more soon..adios
