Hi, my name is Philip. I’m 49 years old, and started this blog about one and a half years ago. I live in Penang, Malaysia. This is a beautiful country of about 26 million people. It’s just south of Thailand (we share a border) and north of Singapore.
I’ve just written and published my first ebook entitled LEARN TO PLAY THE PIANO IN 12 LESSONS. It’s a great way to start playing the piano on your own (and yes, you can do it!) Written in plain and simple English, it’s perfect for beginners from 14 to 92. You can get all the details at my website. Don’t forget to look around, there are some goodies there, like my free ebook, 10 MYTHS ABOUT LEARNING THE PIANO. Download it, free of charge! Please sign my guestbook too, thank you.
I’ve been teaching piano privately for more than 25 years now, ever since graduating from the University of Arizona with a B. Music degree in the early 80’s. I’ve also become quite a computer geek since the early 90’s, starting with Windows 3.1 and now on Vista. Building and servicing Intel-based PCs is another hobby of mine, which does bring in some good pocket money every now and then.
When I’m away from the computer keyboard, I play cocktail music at the E & O Hotel here, twice a week. A very nice and relaxing job, if I may say so (thanks, Mike!) Well, I’ve played cocktail piano for as long as I can remember, but I’ll save those for another post.
When I need some exercise, I head for the pool, which is almost every weekday. Swimming is another passion of mine. It really clears the head and I love the feel of water. Especially in a hot and humid country such as Malaysia.
Last but not least, I’m a staff member at BigBlueBall. If you want to know everything about Instant Messaging, this IS the place to go to. Besides, it has a ton of other cool stuff to check out, including Social Networking, the latest phones, a really nice BigBlueBall lounge, and on and on.
Alright, think I’ve just about completed the intro. I’ll be posting often (I hope). Use the Contact Me link to submit any messages or comments to me. Enjoy browsing my blog!

Hi Philip,
Wow! Your own blog. Cool. I’m in the process of creating a blog too .. still in the crawling stage. Did I tell you that I bought a digital piano? I also practice the piano at work. There’s a School of Music on campus. So I go there during my lunch time. But I’m still struggling with my piano

Hi! Philip.This new format, blog looks good. Hi! everbody out there reading this blog, if you require someone to help you with your computer (especially beginners or retirees), I would highly recommend Philip.

Philip Yeoh!
Found you because I was surfing the web to know more about what was the cause (medical) of Har Yong’s home-going after reading about on the way back from Kelantan. Hope you still remember me – one of those MBSCFers who enjoyed your good music! May the Joy, Love and Peace of our Good Lord be with you always in this fleeting world! hean peng
Hi Hean Peng, wow, what a way to get in touch. I’m glad I could do my bit to provide some info about Har Yong for you.
Hey Philip,
I tried to sign your guest book — a feature on your blog that must be new because I’ve never seen it before and notice no entries — but it locked up and said “comments are closed”. Just thought you might like to know. Hey, cool, you have a spell checker on here now. Yaaaaaaaaay! Oops, the spell checker does not like the word, Yaaaaaaaaay.
Oopsie, the spell checker is courtesy of Firefox, lol. Didn’t realize that.
Well fml, you can see that I’ve sorted things out now
What a handsome photo!
Thank you, Crystal (blush)
