Philharmonic Winds Goes Pop!

Photobucket

You cannot believe how excited I am about this show.
As the days inch nearer, everytime I think about it I get NERVOUS!!!

A 50-piece wind orchestra playing for me!!

At the rehearsals,
I felt like I was about to faint.
All the sections... overwhelmed me with all their different parts
as I tried very hard to focus on singing right...

I feel like I'm in a Disney movie soundtrack for all the songs...
I'll be singing 3 songs for the night :)

Also to be headlined next to the incredibly experienced Sebastian Tan!
Definitely an honour :D

第一个清晨

the first dawn,
that you share in bed with the one you love,
is hauntingly beautiful.

well, for some, it might be a mad hustle for underwear, keys, shoes.

but there is a fragile moment of imaginable eternity in those wee hours,
before the world awakes.

i love this song by lee hom,
lyrics by 李焯雄 ...
