But guess what? I heard my niece played this nice little jazz piece and I thought, well, maybe I should try and play that! So here it is, a short jazzy piece called "Jay Walk" composed by Pam Wedgewood. Hope you like it, and please excuse my wrong notes! Only managed to practise it twice before I recorded it.

Since I recorded a few songs last night, I thought it's time again for my contest "Guess This Song And Win!" except now I'm inviting you to guess 2 songs. Guess one song correct and you win a RM10 Jusco voucher. Guess two songs correct and you win RM20 Jusco voucher.
So here's the first song. Name the title of this song and the original performer. I have played in a slightly different way from the original piece just for fun.
Guess This Song 3.wav -
Oh! I just realised Imeem edited my song! Why did they do that? It's not like I'm posting the original song here. It's my own performance! : (
From my over 4 minutes performance, they shortened it to....30 seconds?! To hear the full song, go here.
This is the second song. For this song, I didn't need Imeem to edit for me. I didn't finish playing this song as I have sort of forgotten how the chorus (middle part) sounds like and the chords that go along with it. Heck! I think even some parts of the melody are wrong. But I will try to listen to the original song again and figure it out, and maybe record a complete version next time.
Let's see if you know this song even though it's only half finished! Just name the song and the original artiste who sang it.

i am bad with songs guessing too, since most of the time i only listened to them on the radio without knowing which artist or song title. :p

The second song sounds familiar but dunno la!
I want to say you play very nice music.
I am not contesting as the RM voucher do me no good in Singapore. Give the others a chance. Wahhh I tok like I sure win heh heh heh.
No lah, really. I don't have a clue what are the songs. I cracked my brain already.
Haiyoh I'm so bad at guessing games lah! Hehehehe
ayie, try again next time! : )
Thanks for the compliments. I've given out the clues in my post. Maybe you want to try and guess again?
twilight zone, now that's exactly the reason I should not increase the prize! LOL!
bluedreamer27, I'm afraid that's not the answer. Try again, my clues are out in the post : )
gagay, hi! Long time no hear! Where have you been all this while? Good to hear from you again! Thanks for dropping by! : )
kenT, congratulations! You won yourself a RM10 Jusco voucher! Will contact you soon! : )
bengbeng, thanks for inviting me to join your contest! : )
vialentino, it's OK. Maybe you want to try again now that I have given out some clues? : )
lina, thanks but you can still give it a shot. I've given some clues. But forget about the first song - already have a winner : )
betchai, thanks. Hope you have a great week ahead : )
eastcoastlife, maybe ask your son to do the guessing? haha! Have a great week ahead! : )
neo, the clues are out, so try again! : )
suituapui, thanks for dropping by despite the poor internet connection in your area. Well, hope the problem will be solved somehow : )
hehe,just better luck next time to me =)
brian kinney, you got the first song correct, but someone beaten you to it!
The second song is not correct. It's not written and performed by A Korean but by an American. Read the clues! You still have a chance here : )
jam, thank you. Now I have revealed some clues, maybe you want to try again? : )
JL, that's funny. I have no problem in listening to the second song. Anyway we already have a winner for the first song. The song is "Kiss The Rain" by Korean composer and pianist, Yiruma.
I have posted the clues so maybe you can try for the second song : )
kenwooi, hey I thought you would know the answer to the second song. Not an avid watcher of American Idol? Or you don't listen much to radio? : )
bluedreamer27, the clues are out. Maybe you can try again. The second song is an English song sung by American singer who have performed as a guest singer in American Idol before.
tekkaus, if you listen to radio frequently, you should know the second song! Try again. It's sung by an American singer : )
eastcoastlife, haha! Ask your son to guess since I think he would have heard more up to date songs, right? : )
jonzz, thanks for the compliments! Don't want to try guessing? : )
tita beng, thanks! The clues are out - maybe you want to give it another shot! You can simply google it : )
prometheus, haha! Nice try! No point copying cos even if you get the correct answers, you are not the first to provide them so still can't be the winner : )
happysurfer, haha! You got the first answer correct but since you are not the first person, then I'm afraid you can't be the winner! But the clues are out - maybe you want to do some research and googling? Maybe you think that measly RM10 Jusco voucher is not worth your effort! Haha! If that's the case, I can't blame you! : )
Oh, your neighbour's daughter plays the piano? That's good, I hope she doesn't wake you up with her playing in the early mornings : )
bluedreamer27, OK. will drop by your blog and vote! : )
medie007, you were here before anyone commented? Oh, you could have been my first commenter here!
Anyway, what makes you think it's Japanese composer? The first song is by a Korean composer and the second is sung by an American singer who had a big hit in 2005.
levian, I listen to the radio a lot too! Sometimes, I don't know the song and I use the TrackID in my handphone to find out the name of the song and the singer : )
life ramblings, I guess if I were to play some Michael Jackson or Diana Ross' songs, you would be able to guess? : )
sherry, OK, will drop by your blog and vote : )
mariuca, sounds familiar? I'm sure you have heard the song before : )
a common singaporean, thanks for your compliments. You can still use the voucher. Just cross over to Malaysia for a brief holiday and shop at Jusco : )
rozella, can't guess even with the clues? : )
ayie, haha! Yes good luck! : )
haha i knew it...im really not so good in gussing game hehe
Hehe..the 2nd song is Next Plane Home by Daniel Powter. ;)
Foong, I haven't used the RM20 voucher I won from you the other day la. I don't know how and where lol! ;)
bluedreamer27, haha! Hope you will try again next time! : )
phatelara, congratulations! You guessed correctly! Will be sending the Jusco voucher to you soon.
Still haven't use the RM20 vouchers? Just go to any Jusco stores to use them! Buy anything at Jusco and present the coupons at the payment counter.
Or if you don't want to use them, maybe offer these vouchers as prizes to your readers? : )
