the year draws to a close

and it feels strange, doesn't it?

i don't know if everyone is tired from partying over xmas,
or retaining the party mode for the new year.

the idea of resolutions seem almost obsolete at this point in my life now,
but my 2 month break from touring starts now,
coinciding with the New Year.



so i plan ahead and wish that Yours Truly would flourish as a business,
because i will work hard on it, and my hard work will pay off.

i also wish that i would be able to dig deep enough inside of myself,
to write songs that really mean something to me,
and to say things that i feel are worth saying;
instead of writing just for the sake of wanting to sell a song.

singing at Oosh and Wala Wala,
I always want to work on expanding my repertoire,
to put on a good show and
to wow new audiences that have never known me.



in music, in freelancing,
you can only cross your fingers,
and hope that what you do will pay off in the end.
that, and of course lucky breaks that always come when i least expect it!



Cheers to a New Year!

Have a rockin' party :)



ps.
amei's taipei concerts over xmas had me maxed out on my party potential...
i don't really want to blog them in separate entries,
so wait out for a loooong entry with tons of pix!

merry christmas from taipei!

dec 13-16: Guangzhou for David Tao's concert
dec 17-18: Singapore for work, and City Plaza shopping spree!
dec 19-25: Taipei for Amei's concerts

Will be spending my Christmas Eve on stage @ Taipei Arena,
it would be awesome.



When I'm back in town, there'll be a 2 month break of touring,
and I know I'll miss it.

I look forward to the new year... I think.

My Christmas wish and New Year resolution is to
- to find myself.



much love,
kewei

now what have i done.




the good people at S4H (salon4hair) wanted to give me an image makeover
so i succumbed to their good intentions :)

My stylist Victor even had to OT just for me!
He is extremely detailed, patient and #1 Mr Nice Guy.

He did an awesome job styling my hair and
my ZPGY gave me a good whole ten minutes of undivided attention, questions and photo-taking when i presented my new do to them at dinner.

The true test of a hair makeover
is when you wash out your hair and attempt to style it yourself the next day.

much ado about nothing

things come...
and things go...

and matching black satin knickers

bling me more bling

comfy cotton dress
(which i brought home to the ridicule of my sis
who says everyone in school is wearing it)
with not so matching scarf for this rainy season
and very matching (*happy!*) girl boxers

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
ridiculouly expensive boots





so some (actually many) things have to go.

there are a lot of clothes and accessories that girls own,
that they THINK they are gonna/will be wearing for some occasion
but in fact NEVER EVER do.

the time has come to be ruthless
and to root out those fashion paraphernalia...
those that you haven taken endless looks at
while scouring your wardrobe
but never ever brought them out with you into daylight.




i honestly don't know who is reading my blog,
but i hope you are someone looking for cheap earrings.

so here goes, before i finally get my ass down to
hawking them off at a flea market or something.

job hazard

if you examine closely,
there is a slight bump on the 1st joint of my thumb.

looks like nothing exciting,
but it's a creepy little callus! eeeeeeks!!!


when i first discovered it,
i could not STOP touching it and freaking myself out.







after a long while I realised how it came about:

i now religiously practise different ways of holding my mic.

愛在亞德里亞海

i wrote the following entry on 6 Oct, but never published it.


--------------------------------------------

it's been months,
but there's a place in my heart where time has come to a standstill.
in this place, there is no tomorrow, only memories, and dreams.

this place, this very soft spot in my heart, belongs to ishi.
and whenever i come back to this place i get the same feeling i had months ago.
where time stops, and nothing ever moves on.

i forgot this song, until today.
stumbled upon it while surfing for lyrics.

i even forgot how to sing it,
i even forgot that i sang it before as a duet with ishi.

we took part in NTU's Impresario in our 2nd year in uni together
and auditioned with this song :)

i remember how silly the experience was
since we forgot half the lyrics... it's such a wordy song!

but we had fun :)
we even won 2nd prize at the finals
singing a medley of oldies.


but i cried today, listening to this song on repeat.
and i am crying, my eyes and my heart both.

for a long time i had wanted to blog about ishi,
i wanted to share with the world what i remember about him.
and i wanted everyone to know and remember him.
because unlike us, nothing is ever going to happen to ishi anymore.
except our dreams of him, and our memories.


when ishi left this world,
i sat at my desktop and wrote down everything i remembered about him,
and i let myself cry and cry and cry.

but it wasn't enough, there are more tears than i can imagine.

i don't think i'm ready to blog about him, just yet.


----------------------------------------------









a cold night at seletar reservoir.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
i bought some tau-hway to sit by the water.

tau-hway place,
slippered feet,
hanging out with friends,
late night supper.

and i thought of the 5 young men who had left their family and friends,
they could have been next to me.
they could have supper, hang out with friends,
just like all of us.

but they will no longer.




i always tear when i read their news,
i think, what fine men they would become.

but they will no longer.
