Getting out of the rat race

I practised quite a bit today, and it was quite a gleeful thing when I saw how much progress I had made. I managed to learn another page of CPE plus get the 2 pages before that up to speed, so that made me pretty happy :D

I also napped, and played some mindless games which I personally suspect are partly to blame for me not thinking much these few days. Strangely my mind is the most active when I'm practising, when my mind tends to wander. When I paying attention though, I get so amazed at CPE's wonderful creation, it's just... incredible to go through the keys and see the little paths that the music takes... it's not just beautiful on the aesthetic level but also engages the mind on the intellectual level. Just like the works of his father Bach. Simply bliss condensed on paper.

Some discussions that I had with some of my friends made me realise that I need to learn investing myself. Time to learn from my uncle I guess... I find it disturbing that my parents refuse to teach me anything for fear that I will lose everything. Well, neither do I want to lose everything, which is why I'm asking them for guidance, right? I think I should talk to them seriously about it, and soon. I've been asking them about investing since J2 and they've never believed in me. Well, since they let me have the contact lenses, I guess I could try for the investment, they are reasonable people after all.
