9.2.2024 (renewing myself)

along the theme of renewing myself: slept "early" for several days now (using the sleep app "cycle" to help track progress). ytd skipped exercise day but today should do some either gym or at home. now when i dun wanna work i try to read or practise piano or create. chose two rather challenging pieces to practise

1. my all time fav piano improvisation by keith jarrett (Koln, January 24, 1975). it's a transcription ppl made of his most famous piece. not easy esp. given i havnt done sight reading for years. but practice tho. making slow progress but good progress :)

2. another thing is the trumpet solo from Jamie Cullum's "In the wee small hours of the morning". one of my fav solo of all time. also quite challenging, i try to transcribe by ear and play on melodica

in general, wanna keep adding new skills / experience to myself so that eventually when we could talk again i could have more to share to u n a more "different" me i guess(?) other things in my head now include: bouldering, volunteer work, cooking... maybe keep things simple n not to be too greedy first
