humbleness...a must.

just now i read something on dave's blog. about humbleness (of a coursemate of his Choy Wan (is it??). i'm not so sure). then i recalled something from the past. it happened a few years ago, no... not that long, maybe 2 or 3 years ago in Perangin Mall in penang. i still remembered that particular day which took place in Popular Bookstore (the cd and cassette section). i met J.C (one of the songwriters in USM's wanderers) there. as i was walking pass the cd racks towards him, i saw one chinese cd (the cd was one of the lastest cd released at that time). a chinese guy with red hood. some taiwan guy if i'm not mistaken. i chatted with him for a while. then with a S.O (show off) face, he picked up the cd i mentioned just now. he turned the cd to the back and pointed one of the song on the cover. the title was (dave would had guess it) "Serina". he said to me with S.O look, "i wrote that." then i said "ooo.." usually everytime somebody gave some surprise or anything, my reaction would be a straight face accompanied with "oooo..." i would never over-react (maybe sometimes lah, when i'm over-excited) or show my emotion. this one of my weakness. THE-NO-REACTION-EMOTIONLESS-FACE.
maybe he has the rights to show off his stuff. beside, what will you do if your creation was sang by somebody, recorded and bought by a record company.
because of that incident, i think wanna do something about my talent now (should had thought about it a few years ago). i wanna show that i can do it also. to have something to be proud of, my creations. sometimes because of my confidence, i restricted myself from a lot of things and opportunity.
one day, i can show it to him the whole album from BJ, and shove it to his face. i've been humble enough all the time, sometimes i can't tell the difference between humble and under-confidence. i doubt my talent for a long time, but since meeting dave, fei and wai....i'm aware of my talent and what i can do with it. i'll make sure my fret-work with pound on your head like Mike Tyson (in his hey-day) especially to the people what said "i wrote this" to me once upon a time...
