You will wonder why my blog often has a new layout while I don't often update my posts. HAHA. Lame erh? You see, this girl is always enjoying creating/modifying new layouts as a fun experience for herself! But I do update my blog once in a while!

He is an Northern Ireland-born virtuoso flautist from Belfast, often called The Man With the Golden Flute. Following in the footsteps of Jean-Pierre Rampal, he became one of the first flautists to establish an international career as a soloist. Queen Elizabeth II knighted him in June 2001.

He is the Principal Guest Conductor of the London Mozart Players, based at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon, South London. Most recently, Sir James has performed for the Academy Award-winning ensemble recording the soundtracks of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

He purses a solo career, in which he succeeded in doing admirably.

His flute was handcrafted by the Muramatsu team.

He is also president of a global organization called Flutewise, run by Liz Goodwin.

BIOGRAPHY

James Galway is widely regarded as both a supreme interpreter of the classical flute repertoire and a consummate entertainer whose appeal crosses all musical boundaries. As the most televised and recorded classical artist performing today, Sir James has made himself a legend, a modern musical master whose virtuosity on the flute is equaled only by his limitless ambitions and vision. Through his extensive touring, over 30 million albums sold and his frequent international television appearances, Sir James has endeared himself to millions worldwide. As an instructor and humanitarian, Sir James is a tireless promoter of the arts. In addition to keeping a busy touring schedule in which he gives recitals and performs with the world's leading orchestras, Sir James conducts annual master classes. He devotes much of his free time discharging his duties as president of Flutewise, a volunteer-based nonprofit organization which encourages young flute players and donates instruments to low-income students and young people with disabilities.

Born in Belfast, Sir James began playing the penny whistle as a small child before switching to the flute. He continued his studies at the Royal College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, followed by the Paris Conservatory. He began his career at the Sadlers Wells Opera and the Royal Opera Covent Garden, which led to positions with the BBC Symphony Orchestra where he played piccolo, the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra where he was Principal Flute. In 1969, he was appointed Principal Flute of the Berlin Philharmonic. In 1975, Sir James launched his career as a soloist, and within one year he had played over 120 concerts, including appearances with all the London orchestras.

And more... but too much to explain, so I just pick out the necessary points. LOL!

He, Sir James Galway, is the guy, whom I admire and idolise, and he is the one who greatly inspires me to learn flute.

I got some albums of him! Some of them are copied and bought from the recordings all thanks to one of my aunties who gave them to me as my birthday present! Some of his albums are very limited and its not easy to find. Oh yes, recently, I went to a video/music stall, and I stumbled upon Sir James Galway's LATEST album! And oh my gosh, it was a THICK album with 100++ over of his music piecies!! Wow, and there was a cover page of him, showing off his magical golden flute that was sparkling like diamonds under the shining lights! Plus, an old, yet charming cheerful face of him and he was smiling sooooooo...!!!!! Argh! I wanna buy his latest album!!! Too bad I didn't bring enough money! ARGH!!

I also have one of his albums, collaborating with a famous pianist called Phil Coulter. Wow, I love how they tune their beautiful instruments together at one go, with the orchestra as the background.

WONDERFUL! I also wish to buy other musicians' albums instead of only Sir James Galway's as it was an advise from my flute teacher, Mr Zufar. We, who loves music, ought to listen to all kinds of music and instruments so as to be more familiar with them. Most importantly, we must be knowledgeable about famous musicians like Mozart, Bach, and more. We must also know their backgrounds well. We also need to know the music traditions of the wide world and how they cultivate with music and all.....

HEY HEY, its not embarrassing to idol even an elderly person. I don't care whether you really laugh or not. I don't find anything wrong admiring someone old like Sir James Galway. So what? He is the world no.1 flute player!!! There is one time I really regretted, that was, not been able to watch him perform at Esplanade!!! I read a newspaper reported about him coming over to Singapore to perform at Esplanade!! Shit! I can't find any details about the date and time!!! ARGH!!! I MISSED HIS LIVE SHOW! I think it happened last year at that time. SIGH!

And yes, he is still ALIVE right now! He is still ALIVE! Only 70+ years old!

Because of him and others, they left me a deep desire for music and thats how I want to be a musician when I grow up. I might even get a chance to become a music tutor to teach younger generations, to let them know that music is something which even words are not enough to be expressed, and music can give us the feelings that are beyond explanation. Plus, music is to be loved, not to be treated as just an object for fame and money. Even if a person is talented in music but he just simply used it for fame, he is not a true music lover, because he does not know how to treasure music.

OK, ENOUGH FOR TODAY. I AM OFF TO PERFORM WITH MY CONCERT BAND AT ISTANA PERFORMANCE! BYE!!!

YOUTH DGEN

I seriously love anime since childhood. I always draws out the manga characters and once created my own story of "Legend of the Dragons" and a Pokemon comic book made of only A4 PAPERS! I was still so young at that time. I remembered vividly that I gave one of my created comic book to a female teacher I really admired in CCPS. HAHA!

Animes that I have watched (alphabetically)

I'm not going to insert Summary on the shows I have watched. Lazy! Just by seeing the genres can roughly give you the idea
