I'm Phaseolusaureusphobic

I'm phaseolusaureusphobic =\

Now, you must be wondering what exactly on earth is a condition known as phaseolusaureusphobia. To be exact, the phaseolus aureus is on earth. In fact, it is so abundant, one may not even know that the phaseolus aureus is before him/her until he/she finally reads this blog entry to the end. And it, being so abundant, and so close to every person's (whoever that may come across it. Why? That's because I seriously doubt that the Eskimos have come across them. But then again, one can never be too sure of that.) and musician's hearts... the Phaseolus aureus, has caused much trauma to me.

Still wondering what the phaseolus aureus is? Guess no further. It is known as the tau gei. The term tau gei is used to describe bean sprouts and the musical note (more exactly, the quaver). If you want to know what a quaver is, type '(8)' in your MSN messenger, or check it out here =)
Thus, my definition of phaseolusaureusphobia would be a condition in which a person has a fear of sight reading tau geis, and come a time when he/she has to perform, reading and playing them straight off, especially in an examination-like condition or in the presence of an audience, certain signs and symptoms that arise would be: trembling legs, mind going blank, detesting that entire process, getting edgy, cold fingers, loss of dexterity and touch on the piano (or whichever instrument applicable), butterflies in the stomach, instability, loss of confidence... etc.

Now, you must be wondering why on earth would I be typing all of the above. It's simple: In about 2 weeks, 2 people have asked me to play/teach classical stuff. If I remember correctly, the last time I sight-read a classical piece, it became a modern/20th century piece. And trust me, you wouldn't want to go through the disappointment of listening to a modern piece after going through all the trouble just to find one. It doesn't sooth your ears much, anyway. Hmmm, I wonder why there are no job vacancies for chord reading/playing by ear. Could it be due to the reason that there's no cert attached to it? But then again, if I could train up to play pretty well (not yet, but still trying), I guess people would assume that you have at least a certain grade. But that's like some smoke screen. Then again, I do have a friend who could hardly play simple songs barely 3 months after getting a distinction for his grade 8 practical. Still, there are people who have the grade and play very well too. Arrrgh, why think so much? Just be happy serving the Lord in M&D. Ooo... I love playing for church, I love playing... etc. OK, better not start another happy streak of ranting for now.

Thought: Still, I love playing for church, I love playing for church... etc =)
