Curiosity ; a strong desire, interest in knowing something that interests the particular persons urge to explore the unknown. Exploration ; the search for the unknown, expedition, a study, trips or tours, journey and odyssey with mother earth and it's creations. Experience ; an encounter or events, My first exploration of the `digital world' I remembered was a slim black Atari game set. Back in the late 80's or beginning of the 90's it drove me nuts with the urge to know the `top scores' and the `final level' when in the Nintendo era was to defeat the `Da ge' or the worst of the Bad Guys. From One game per cassette to multiples of hundreds of games in one. Tetris's blocks was interesting though. Then we played Lego with all the types of fairy tales, kingdoms, to cities and the last one I remembered having was ` Technics' a more advanced version of the Lego bricks and blocks. Same toy stories like most who grew up through the 90's. So enough with toys for now. It's time to story tell some serious stuff. The scariest hour or two of my childhood was examination time. The piano examiner from U.K scared the shit out of me during practical examinations and it's only a yearly encounter. But the experience of a super cold air-conditioned room with a piano, the English `Examiner' (you better don't err if it's a woman examiner-famous for their strictest meanest marks)That is one course I didn't finish. Merely finished with a Grade 5 practical but failed the Grade 4 Theory examinations, which is even stricter with the best in the history of that time under London standards achieved by my teacher when she got a B for her Grade 8 theory. All my grades are so uniformed with either C- or D+. That time the piano was like a living hell for me. Every Tom, Dick & Harry would ask me if I've played the piano that because of my naughty behaviour of wanting to play it in tunes that I myself also don't know, I just want to play fast tunes without following notes. ...to be continued de night flyer signing off as on the GMT+8 1949 10/10/2014 at an encounter in life....
