SO YOU WANT TO BE A GUITARIST, AININA

Nina, berkebun bunyi at JB waterfront, facing sunset on Selat Tebrau, September 2011.

My sweet Nina. Your guitar (that Abah had bought for you) found you. Your guitar is not just a gift (of love) from Abah, but it is also an extension or 'manifestation' (penzahiran) of your 'greatness', in this case, your wonderful musical talent (other than your talent in drawing, singing, dancing, sport,etc). It is also an extension of your passion, your love, your commitment, your dedication, your persistence, in short - your beautiful spirit. So, your guitar is actually you! 

Therefore, to be the best guitarist is to BE YOURSELF first and foremost. Simple isn't it. 

Love, 
Abah.
