| Introduction | During my childhood, I was exposed to the world of classical music. An immediate influence is my father, who used to play bassoon for a local orchestra. I watched some of his performances and even went on tour with him. I appreciated it at those times, but never really understood the music. That was before. Eventually, as I grew up, I listened to other types of music (the more modern ones). During my teenhood, I found it best to gel with my peers - listening to pop music and current hits. I went back to listening to classical music during my college days, and right now, never felt more hungry for it. What really opened it up was a college friend of mine (a classical music listener, but not really hard core) who lent me (I asked for it, actually) a CD of piano works that I got obsessed with in time. Since that part of my life in college, I've been catching up on everything I missed, on everything I could have wanted but have never encountered before. I've been juggling (quite poorly, I guess) my daily activities (work), and this center of interest - which is classical music. I have this lifelong battle to find time (*make* time, even) just to fill up this ever-growing need. |

When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?
I don't even bother to set the alarm clock. But I still wake up late, usually.
