EP?
if you've read about the 4-Hour-Work-Week,
you'd know that the one of the keys to productivity is to have tight deadlines
- which forces you to work as efficiently as possible.
Turns out, it's true.
Within a month, Einein and I have cranked out a piping hot EP.
Well, truth is,
we just submitted the CD cover/layout for printing,
and will be recording our vocals tomorrow.
If we don't receive the prints by Sunday, it won't be ready for Hong Kong in time.
Amidst all these glaring impossibilities,
lurks a glimmer of hope that our fairytale will end happily ever after,
we will get everything done just in the nick of time,
and this will be a great story to tell in the future.
Please pray with us that all goes smoothly. :)
Checking our draft layout at 2am,
rushing for printing the next day,
holding the draft mockup of our EP, in awe,
this feels like a Final Year Project of sorts.
An important update:
To all those who have emailed me, I have received your emails.
I simply had no time to write a proper reply!
And after working out our costs and estimating the quantity to print,
we cannot cover costs at S$6 per EP.
So, the price of our EP would be at S$8 instead!
Everyone will be informed before your decision to pay :)
Have updated our order form correctly,
and also added a Chinese translation for the benefit of Taiwanese who have asked me to explain the details! :p
thanks for the love,
kewei

updates on EP
hi loves,
as you know, this is an EP in the making
as we prep for our show in Hong Kong!
so apologies for the scant details...
i am making them up as i go along!
thank you for the overwhelming support i have received in my Inbox!
even though you have no idea what your are BUYING!
peeps, this is a RAW, ACOUSTIC, HOMEMADE EP of 3 originals (1 English, 2 Mandarin)
and this is as home-made as it can get.
FAQ
Q. How do I make payment?
A. Paypal, and ATM/internet-banking transfer for locals.
Details will be given in my email replies soon!
Q. What is the expected delivery date?
A. At this point, I'm looking to get the final copies before I leave for Hong Kong in mid- December, and I figured to mail anything out in the Christmas season will be rather silly,
so perhaps in 2010 as a New Year present? :p
Q. What's the deadline for ordering?
A. There is no definite deadline, but like I mentioned, this will be a limited edition! (ie. I would not be looking at reprints).
So I will be estimating the total number of copies to be printed by the response I get from email-orders.
So to answer your question, if there are no more copies by the time you order, ... you'd know that you were too late... :p
Q. Can I pay by Cash on Delivery?
A. If you prefer, you can try to get a copy from me when you see me at Wala Wala. :) But I won't be lugging many copies around, I think.
Once again, thanks for supporting us all the way!
Will be keeping you updated with our progress!
xoxo

leehom
what i've learnt from this dude,
is that despite being on TOP of his game,
being such a mega superstar that he is,
despite landing endless commercials and gigs,
he works hard.
there is nothing very mysterious about success,
especially when i get this close to leehom.
true, his good looks, luck, talent all played a part, 天时地利人和blah blah blah,
but if you can stick through it,
re-invent yourself and remain an artiste for more than 10 years and still be as big,
it all boils down to hard work.
so we've all heard the statistic, he's been to 29 cities within 40 days,
endless 商业演出, he's swimming in piles of money,
but he ain't partying.
after his ION gig in Singapore, we hung out till late,
and the next morning he flew back to Taipei immediately for a huge open-air show to about 60000 people at night.
and there i was lounging in my house the whole day,
and I watched the Taiwan news on TV in amazement:
Wow, he's sporting exactly the same hair, and wasn't he just here with me less than a day ago?
How can someone so effectively maximise his time spent everyday?
And he'll be directing his own movie very soon, and starring in it as well -
it's a personal project that he made come true,
something totally different than what he's used to (making albums)
and definitely taxing,
but it will bring his career to a whole new level.
Have you ever wondered,
everyone's partying, having supper, watching the movies, having a good time.
Everyone's trying to schedule their time to meet friends, packing their social calendar to the brim,
I had a wild thought that I don't want to be like everyone.
I want to succeed.
Not many people succeed, the ones who do,
are not like everyone else.
The ones who succeed are different from everyone else,
they subscribe to a different lifestyle,
they work extra hard.
Being successful is just a place not many people get to -
it filters the hard worker from the insanely hard working ones.
Like so many other people, for many different reasons,
he's gonna be my role model for now.
I won't be able to reach where he is now, but if I can get close,
it would be darn remarkable.
some additional inspiration that resonated so strongly with the perfectionist in me.

back to school!
nope, this is not a Halloween-themed party post!!
LITERALLY, i went back to RGS for my 10 YEAR REUNION!
This is part of the class with our beloved Principals :)
See, being part of a girly secondary school is actually... really memorable :)
We were back in our school hall,
and I felt a really strange sense of familiarity,
and I even felt that everything seemed SMALLER than before.
I don't know, maybe it was just my 4-inch heels.
I didn't sing the John Mayer song,
but I did sing Over the Rainbow with fellow schoolmate Dawn Ho on piano :)
I am very proud of my yellow name-tag that says KEWEI,
we used to have big bright yellow name-tags on our pinafores...
those were the days...
and we swayed in old-fashioned BFF style
singing our school songs...
In fact, I'll be back to RGS tomorrow morning for a little show for the Secondary 3s!
I'm jittery.. I hope they will like me :p
LITERALLY, i went back to RGS for my 10 YEAR REUNION!
I wanna run through the halls of my high schoolTo think it would finally happen!
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above
I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for

080809 David Tao Concert in Macau
So this super overdue entry marks the unofficial end of DT's 123 We Are All Wooden Men Tour,
and as we speak,
he is already well into this 2nd or 3rd show of his new tour in Taipei!
I wonder if we would reconvene soon...
at the Cotai Arena at Venetian, Macau...
We sang 火鸟功 for the first time here,
and David lugged along his Matchless amp, complete in a DT box.
Glad to make new friends with the lovely and pretty Anita!
adorable Nana.. Jamie's daughter...
Mike our sound engineer.. is the best
everyone mimics Jingles' signature ass-shaking grroove!
and for the post-post-party we later head onto the Bellini lounge at Venetian
and David Tan took to the stage...
and we met an amazing guitarist-singer-songwriter Jay Leonard Juatco... yessir!
and had soooo much fun writing songs on the fly...
i thought writing and singing songs on the fly only happened on Whose Line Is It Anyway,
but i was WRONG.
this guy kicks ass.
i'm waiting for him to become famous.
PS. I heard David Tao's new show Rock and Talk comes to Singapore 8 January... AHHH!! I would definitely be there!!!
