When I was young, I scored very poor in any form of painting - be it as the Chinese black-and-white type painted with ink or watercolor. And I scored very low in English writing too. The very first exam I failed (and the last I think) was a test on writing a short English story. I think (and hope) I am doing slightly better than what I have done before in these two departments.

And all the projects inside there never got a higher score than C+ -_- oh yes and strangely enough i'm playing piano. and yes still with much difficulty. i can spread an octave but that's about it. sighness. i think i’m a bit cursed if it comes to doing something with hands… even my beading is still not that good and i spend a hell lot of time to get beading things done. maybe coz my fingers are fat and bulky :(
