Today, I went to Maksim Mrvica's concert in Taipei. It was SO AMAZING. Not only the fact that I got to go with friends that could listen to me talk about bad things that happened these days in my life, Maksim was a really awesome pianist. The most awesome thing about him other than his skills, of course is how hot he is. :P. Unlike a lot of pianists, he has muscles and knows how to dress up to make himself look good. His skills really are indescribable. We were sitting at the third row because we got the tickets really early and of course, were more expensive, but it's worth it. Looking at his fingers move on the keyboard, I held my breathe for such a long time that I thought I might've died if he wouldn't stop playing. Also, I really wanted him to play "Flight of The Bumble Bee" because it's one of my favorites, but it wasn't on the list of songs he was going to play during the show, so I kind of was disappointed, but when the show was "over", and people yelled ancore, he played this song. When Sharon Wu and I heard it, we both screamed and grabbed each others hand from excitement. It really was so good. Not only that song, all his songs are really good. Although I'm not going to be a musician, I really admire his attitude towards piano. When he was young, there was war going on, so he and his classmates often had to stay in the basements of the school, since they would be in great danger if they go outdoors. When he was in school, he practiced piano almost all day long and of course, became such a successful pianist.
