#-Suddenly a small fish in a big pond.
Ever felt like a small fish in a big pond? I used to usually be the big fish is small Singapore. I have been blessed indeed; one of the best primary and secondary schools, top JC, ABRSM Grade8 in double bass, counted among the few jazz double bassists in Singapore, one of the top swing dancers in the country, all at the age of 21.
Then I came to London. Yesterday I was blown away by the swing dancers here. Well I mean most of them can't dance very well, but when I saw Ron and Simon dance with the jap lady teacher, it was explosive! And then there's Paul Crook doing Balboa, my goodness the way he does it is so smooth. There's just so much more room for me to improve and I wonder if I can be good at Medicine, Music and Dance all at once. With music at least I know I'm almost, if not the only jazz double bassist in college, but then again all the professionals out there are terrific, and still, even with jazz bass I'm not THAT good here.
I really need to improve, and soon.
