All thanks to CD-Rama, I’ll be going to KL to do a performance to promote my album next weekend! Will also be doing a couple of radio shows (yeah!).

I recalled what Tienyao said to me over a dinner recently. It doesn’t matter what work anyone does, there’s always the challenge of getting something done, and the satisfaction after. Even for music. Preparing for a show is usually arduous and even, boring (cos it’s just practising and practising and practising); it’s only when you perform that the satisfaction happens. Yes, I suppose nobody lives in fairyland.

My reward will be that, and to head off to Genting after everything’s over! (And to finally try Malaysian food again heh).

If you’re in KL on 5 Dec, do drop by if you’re in the area:

The Summit Subang USJ
Persiaran Kewajipan
USJ1,47600 UEP Subang Jaya,
Selangor

Performance’s @ 2pm. See you!

I wanted to perform at OOOM since early part of 2009, and thanks to Jonathan’s patience, we finally managed to pin a month down with my hectic schedule. I totally ENJOYED myself last night. I dig the cosy intimate setting..people seated on the carpeted floor, many of them performers of their original songs before my turn. Here’s some photos taken by Dengli who’s back for holidays!

Was really happy to share “Play With Me”, and 2 other unpublished works.  I think I go into another zone when I perform my own songs..like hypnosy you know?

Hope to see you there! I’ll be performing my originals, and for sure 1 (or 2) unpublished work!

cheers,

I Love Lego. Don’t you?

A dear friend of mine has started out a business with a few of his friends, and ta-dah, here’s their products: http://www.brickade.com/

If you like what you see, do support our local entrepreneurs. I’ve already placed my orders last night

I’m usually not the kind to be star-struck..but it was cool to see the oversea artists in real life, esp Tanya, Jam and Lala - their singing rock! There were really many songs which I didn’t know and had to turn to Tien-yao to ask “What’s the title of this song?” etc…well well. I gotta hand it to myself for not going to the toilet and not drinking any water from 715pm - 12am, never imagine I could do that. Really happy to be seated with Yet and his lovely wife though (Tanya’s mum was just seated next to Tien-yao haha)

Didn’t bring any good camera, but a memorable experience nevertheless!

One fine day, Monica (who took my photos for ‘You Are My Angel’ album) facebooked me and asked if I wanna do an MV. At first I thought she was joking…. Things rolled from there and wow, we’ve actually finished shooting my first music video

I had so much fun throughout the process, from auditioning for my male lead to the actual filming itself… honestly I’m not an actress, so to act in an MV was quite a scary thought (1. left or right profile 2. smile too big or too small 3. fats fats fats??! Then repeat from no.1 again). But the team - Monica (director), Sharon (director of photography), Ryan, Alex, Shawn, Seng Yew and Sam (the male lead) - made the whole filming so relaxed and fun. It’s a whole new experience for me, and I’m so glad I enjoyed it

Actually what I enjoyed the most, were the jokes + goofing around + laughing. And really, the dedication from the team, and the new friendships made!

Special thanks to Ngiap Heng for lending us the location, which is really really cool, and cannot be more suitable.

We couldn’t finish the shoot on day 1 (7am to 6pm), so we had to continue on a 2nd day. I love cool and relaxed ppl. I have to say Sharon and Monica really rock. It feels so good to be inspired and liberated.

Here are some photos  (my comments revealed upon clicking on photo):

Hope to share the video with all of you soon!

This is so tragic….

Sometimes my zest for life, and living it, comes from the surfacing awareness of mortality.

It’s so sad…esp when I see that she had gigs scheduled for November. I don’t know her before I came across the news, but it’s certainly thought-provoking. Listen to her music here. My favourite is Clarity.
