back to school!

nope, this is not a Halloween-themed party post!!

LITERALLY, i went back to RGS for my 10 YEAR REUNION!

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
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

To think it would finally happen!


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

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!!!

late bloomer

you know, i only started singing when i was 19 years old.

i never took part in singing competitions in school before that, never wanted to.

when i was in university a friend asked me to perform her original song for a showcase.
i did, and i made so many friends from the show... i guess i never turned back.

my point is,
WHY DOES CHRISTINA AGUILERA SING EXACTLY THE SAME WAY SHE DID WHEN SHE WAS SEVEN FREAKIN YEARS OLD???

love bomb

so if you followed my twitter you'd know i met pharrell williams at the louis vuitton shop @ the incredibly glamorous Orchard Ion a while back.



Did i mention he's hot?
Did i mention he just stood there to listen to me sing, and before he left he said goodbye?
i smiled... and forgot my lyrics.




i imagined going up to him, saying
"hey sup. you know, we're just one degree apart yo, i'm now singing in a band with an Asian artiste, that your drummer Eric Fawcett is playing for now"
*smiles*

okay, but i didn't.




we had great fun,
with champagne and chocs on sticks floating by...

but i came back and youtubed him like a stalker -
and Love Bomb is the BOMB.
i love it to death.

D6T9

incredible album, i must say.
it felt like an adventure, and i was found myself both amused and humbled, by the creative ideas behind it, and by the amount of effort and sheer work put into the album.

Check out www.youtube.com/D6T9TV for more behind-the-scenes production of this album...
i learnt to appreciate the intricacy of the music more than ever, and looked out especially for the instruments used. :)


strips for mixing...
these masking tape strips are laid down on the mixing board to label the tracks in each song


my name on the track Play *wooot!*

Check out the review written by Ken from 1003FM :)

"... 看到新加坡音乐教父吴庆隆及和音天使郑可为的名字出现专辑中，小小骄傲了一下。"

Thanks Ken!

flight of life

It was the first time I watched a plane land,
all the way from gliding through the clouds,
to glimpsing the twinkling lights of the ships scattered in a calm black sea...
Soaring past the orderly grids of civilisation,
enter the familiar warm glow of streetlamps,
recognising the golf course, the giant ferris wheel,
and finally heading for land, grinding across the tarmac,
the silent machine of flight now rumbling to life.

It was almost like watching the birth of a child.
Breaking into raw, noisy reality from a smooth and woozy place beyond our reach.
