Lovely mini grand piano from Sega Toys! I’ve been eyeing it like since forever but the price is just so steep! Close to SG$800 with shipping if I get it from ebay! I’m trying to get my family to buy it for me for my 21st birthday. I mean, there’s a meaning to it if it was to be my 21st birthday present! I like all my presents to have some kind meaning. What better present to buy for a musician than a grand piano, albeit a mini one?

Look! It even comes with a miniature chair, speaker not included.

Let me convince myself why I should get it if everybody thinks this is a total waste of money and I have to get it for myself:

1. It is not a toy! Every single key plays when you press it down!
2. I’m a musician, and what better way to prove it than having an upright, a digital, a keyboard and a mini GRAND?!
3. It comes preloaded with 100 songs and when you play a song the keys depress too! And you can buy more songs!

Since I’m on the topic of presents, I always think presents should have some kind of meaning. It shouldn’t just be a casual affair of getting anything, especially for people you love. What’s everyone’s mentality when they buy presents for others? Do they really want to get a gift to make their loved ones happy or is it just an over publicised and commercialised fact that one has to buy gifts for birthdays or anniversaries? I know it’s hard to think of gifts that mean something or gifts that a loved one might like, but I think an increasing number of people are getting the wrong idea of birthdays and anniversaries.

Even if one’s birthday was to be gift-free (i just coined a new word!), isn’t it enough to bask in the love, receiving well wishes that are really from the heart, being healthy and being with all those people you really love?

Back to my piano, apparently it doesn’t have too many convincing points to support my decision to get it. Nevertheless, I’m going to get it somehow.

I guess this goes to prove my love for music.

Or my extravagance.
