ABRSM - another chance?

It's Mother's Day today, and so, we webcamed and had a good chat with her, as well as my dad, my brother and gf. They told me that they were considering to buy a new piano cos the one we have now is too old, plus it contains my vomit stains when i was really young. (yes, i vomitted on the piano when i was little...imagine, a new piano and their little precious daughter vomitted on it...must have been painful back then hehe)

My mum mentioned that my ex-piano teacher tried to contact me recently, and she said that my teacher's kinda sad to know that i'm not really playing the piano anymore. So, my parents are kinda encouraging me to take up lessons again after i graduate, and finish up my grade 8. Yeah, I failed grade 8 when i was in jc 2 taking A levels and SYF at the same time...and it's kinda a pity to leave it hanging at grade 6 since i skipped grade 7. Yet, I know what ABRSM exams are like...it freaks me out and i don't really have a talent for classical music. And the thought of sight-reading and oral doesn't help! But, on the other hand, i really do want to hone my piano skills and play really nice christian songs. It still makes me go green with envy whenever i see someone playing the piano so fluently and elegantly.

Should I take up piano lessons once again? If i do, i would want to pay the tuition fees myself cos i know it's expensive and i shouldn't let my parents pay when i've started work.

And what about driving lessons? baptism classes? I don't think I have that much time available when I start work! At least, I think i've about a year to consider. Afterall, there's no need to hurry. I'm still young right?! :P
