I just taught a Khmer VJ how to play guitar on TV.

No, really. A few days ago we got a call from MyTV asking us to teach a couple of their VJs music lessons for a spot on a show for teenagers. Aside from that and the link to a youtube video they e-mailed us, I didn't really know what to expect when they showed up this afternoon after lunch. It was fun though, just a little five minute spot on playing the four chords to a popular Korean song.

Although the actual teaching of it ended up feeling a bit like this:


At the end, they asked me to play the song for them... which made me very glad I spent the morning listening to it on repeat and trying out the chords. I think I played it that well enough for not knowing the song much, but I think I got by. They also asked if I had a message to their teenage viewers in Cambodia. I said, "Keep listening to music, and try guitar! It's fun!" Cheesy, I know.

Here's the song, btw, of which I am now thoroughly sick (it's a saccharine number about a whiny boy wondering where he went wrong with his ex why's she marrying this new guy but hey we're still friends I'll always be there for you when you need a friend *cough* I still love you *cough* what hm? Of course I'll play the piano for your wedding because we're friends, see how I try to usurp the relationship with your fiance with our friendship? Why don't you love me back, again?):


I'll post pictures and video of the spot later if I can get my hands on it.

Other than that, nothing new... just been very busy at work. We have a big charity concert coming up on Sunday which has been keeping our schedule action packed. More on that (and a proper update of the last 3 months) later....

UPDATE: Photographic evidence!
