the wayward child sees the light
chinese orchestra has always been in my blood,
my dad plays the erhu and flute,
my mum plays the pipa,
and of course in the early courting days
my dad pretended to learn the pipa from my mum
just to spend time with her :)
i think this performance made my parents very very happy :)
i was given the chance to perform with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra,
and one of my original songs 心型空洞 was arranged by Tan Kah Yong, in full-blown Chinese Orchestra style!!!
Kah Yong and his wife caught in the audience :)
It was great working with him the 1st time, and I was thrilled by the sound of my own song :)
with Quek Ling Kiong the conductor... he is awesommmee!
Super nice, with such flair and style in conducting
during rehearsals :)
i also played the erhu on the traditional piece called 赛马
(playing in front of the full-time pros is no joke!!)
my sweet papa
the end of a great experience!
my darling mummy
sneak of my song 心型空洞 (which will be in my upcoming EP!)

my only regret is that this chinese orchestra version will only be available as a live fuzzy youtube one.
ps. love the 萧 solo in the interlude!!!
check this out
My song is officially A Hole in Heart Shape.
Ok, the original meaning of Heart-Shaped Hole doesn't sound terrific either.
And it is
My first official introduction of my song on print!
haha
Thanks to Eriol, Nicholas Tan and many more for the lovely photos!
And to everyone who dropped by! :)

Geetune!
What are your music-listening habits today?
I use Youtube a lot to learn songs,
but honestly my mp3 collection has stalled since years ago.
Aside from the CDs i buy and borrow,
I hardly hear listen to anything new on my mp3 player...
Geetune is an interesting concept -
for less than $20 a month you can download UNLIMITED songs from their site :)
And it is completely legal.
The layout of the site is also very easy to use -
you can scroll through the album covers for the latest releases.
This was how I discovered India Arie just released her latest album!
You can sign up now for a 14-day free trial :)

i miss ishi
Post-Impresario interview,
I mentioned again that competitions were indeed fertile ground for meeting friends passionate about music.
In fact,
Hong Junyang & Sherlyn Chia, (we were in the same batch in Ocean Butterflies)
Ishi and I -
we were all at that same Impresario Backstage in 2004
i delved into my hard disk folder of My Pictures 2003-2005
This was the only pic I found of the 4 of us :)
And 5 years later,
here we are back again at Impresario
Junyang and Sherlyn as judges,
myself as Publicity Ambassador,
and Ishi in my song :)
I sang my Ishi song live for the very first time
at the same stage we shared 5 years back,
and I found it hard to breathe at these lines...
There were friends in the audience who were from Soul (Ishi's band),
and I sang,
I sang to them,
the only people I knew who would understand.
They shared my connection, and my memories to Ishi.
And here's to him :)
vampire theme for his Superband days,
performance for Ocean Butterflies roadshow,
at our Ocean Butterflies Extraordinary Singers Course Graduation Showcase 2003
supper after Project Superstar days
Ishi was the choreographer for Project Superstar performances,
so we hung out alot during rehearsals
and we sang for an MCYS production - a jingle promoting Marriage!
At the launch of "We Are Married" campaign haha :D
The acapella jingle - arranged by Peter Huang,
available exclusively HERE!

I wish I knew what you were thinking then
Oh I wish you knew what you were thinking then
I still imagine I can tell you how ridiculous you are
You should call me up and never do such silly things again
But now you're gone
I can't pretend
You wanted out on the bitter end
You slipped away, so quiet so far away~
