"Can you play any music instrument?" I'd ask.
And the guy always, ALWAYS reply, "Yeah, a bit. A bit piano, a bit guitar".
And I know most of my guy friends play guitar. But I'm not so interested in guitars, because I can't play guitar for nuts (I'm preserving my precious, soft fingers to hold hands with my first boyfriend after my first kiss HAHAHAHA). And guitars are so common... Honestly, I'd be more impressed if he can play the piano AND guitar. Like Ming Wai. He can sing, play piano, play guitar, straight As student, doctor-to-be, funny, loves to eat, lame, open-minded etc. etc. In fact, I've already booked him to play at my wedding! I love listening to him play and sing.
Just because you can play baa baa black sheep or two songs on the piano, doesn't mean you can play the piano (to me lah, that is). I mean, of course anyone can play the piano, it's just, in my definition of CAN PLAY THE PIANO - it usually means that you can read notes. I don't care that you're not a Maestro or something, just being able to read notes and play almost decently is good enough for me. If you can play A Whole New World or a lil' bit of Maksim's, I'd be pretty impressed already (see, my standards where got impossible)
And don't even get me started on movies. I just think, that not many people share the same tastes in movies like I do. I mean, there are lah, it's just I've not met them, or know them. I don't think I'm passionate about anything except movies... and good actors. If you know and have watched American History X, I'd be very impressed already. If you loved Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Amelie or Fight Club, then I'm seriously very impressed. After watching every good movie, I'd checkup on IMDB for the trivias, the actors' biographies, and the writers. That's how much I love movies. I seriously would love to create a film one day, or write a film, but my parents aren't very supportive of it, so maybe... when I'm retired :)
It's not easy finding someone that shares the same interests actually. So when I do find someone that can play piano decently AND watches the movies that I watch (provided that his other qualities are agreeable as well), it'll be like finding gold, rare and precious :P
And don't tell me that "OPPOSITES ATTRACT", I hate it when people tell me that. It's just silly, we'd all end up trying to change the other person to adopt our likings anyway. Isn't it? I'm seriously more interested in finding our common interests instead of our differences. If we're opposites, what's much to talk about then hah? In the long run, you'd be so different that you drive me up the wall.
