ZPGY

my ZPGY aka 猪朋狗友 ... are my best friends :)



there is too much to be said.
there is such a strong emotional core among us,
it can only grow stronger.


how did we get to know each other?
through music, through a common sense of humour.

this group... it grows, and is still growing.



there is too much to be said,
maybe pictures illustrate better.



lately,
we came together again, this time for something larger then ourselves.
we got together in a song - a song of gratitude,
in honour of everyone who have helped the Sichuan earthquake victims,
in one way or another.

it is this synergy of team effort
that catapults us to places we never dreamed we could go, alone.


this song means alot to us,
we share much love among ourselves,
and would love to extend it beyond just ZPGY.


謝謝你, 就是你 - 獻給所有四川大地震賑災的英雄

our dear chanel specially wrote a song for the Sichuan earthquake disaster,
and the live performance was a resounding success!

It was sung by Chanel and the rest of our talented ZPGY
at a charity concert this past weekend at EZ50,
organised by Surin from Resonance Studios :)


Yes, ZPGY, all 20+ of us,
got into a studio and recorded our very own version of the song!

Featuring a stellar cast of Chanel Pang, Dawn Wong, Alfred Sim, Tay Kewei, Ginny Lin, Edmund Cheh, Donnie Cheh, Lee Ein Ein, Kitty Tan, Juliana Poh, YC, XiaoB, Ah Gong, Biqin, Madeline Tan, Josh Bryan Ho, Ruth Chua, Derrick Tia, Wilman Lau, Mark Shi and many more :)

I had to miss out on the performance,
due to Joseph and Adeline's wedding :)

Nevertheless it was a good one with my super team!

performed at the Singapore Flyer at a Lufthansa Airlines event,
it was an awesome experience!

we opened with songs like Come Fly With me, Fly Me To The Moon,
Leaving on a Jetplane... you get the picture :p


with Nic Osman, Daniel Purnomo and Jonathan Ang


and Dennis once again!
Our erhu-violin duet is a force to be reckoned with ;P



i love the Greek Theatre at the Singapore Flyer,
reminds me of the dearly missed Esplanade Waterfront...


i don't miss the soundchecks under the sweltering heat though...


in theme with FLYING,
2 ex-Cirque du Soleil artistes flew in from LA
for a mindblowing aerial ballet stunt act

















more upcoming gigs soon,
at Esplanade Concert Hall, Singapore, and
Bangkok Jazz @ Chulan Square, Kuala Lumpur! :D

the press conference was held the past weekend at Whitebait and Kale,
(i couldn't keep my hands off their smoked salmon, or that's what i think it is)
and representatives from Singapore Red Cross, Singapore Chamber of Commerce & Industry in China, and Sembawang Music were present.

The Chairman of SingCham was a Singaporean based in China for 12 years,
and she spoke of how the Singaporean business people were the 1st foreign organisation to rally donations and to initiate a helping hand,
and she nearly broke down while giving her speech.

Hearing her relate her 1st hand experiences really brought
a very real perspective to the tragedy,
and the climbing casualty figures became a monstrosity of pain,
than just jaded statistics.








with Peter laoshi and Green Swallow!


with Emma Yong


caught Jo Dong in the toilet :)


with Meixin!


we caught the 1st screening of the MV.
(of course not on this mini DV player!)
PS. I don't have a solo line in this song though,
I was singing as a chorus with several ex-Project Superstars.


玖建老师 had toiled endlessly on this project,
finding sponsors, partners,
recording, mixing and editing the song,
editing the MV...
all within a few days.

the least we could do for him was to sing a few lines,
and appear at the publicity shows.


i sincerely hope that with this little blog, or through facebook, etc,
that i can help in my little way to encourage more donations of love.

you can buy this CD from all Sembawang Music outlets,
$10 for the CD, $8 goes to the Red Cross, $2 for administrative fees.
Thank you :)

jaded

the daily news feed of earthquake victims always make me cry.
i am getting a little jaded of these armageddon images,
but at the same time inspired by all the acts of warmth and human kindness.

i was happy to be part of a charity drive spearheaded by 玖建,
he wrote a song and through word of mouth gathered several artistes/celebrities/singers/actors/dancers etc for an audio-visual recording.


this is but 1/10th of those present for the recording :)

Media is a tool we can use to relay images of painful reality, or hopeful ideals.

We faced the camera and said,
买CD, 送爱心.
众志成城, 帮助四川的灾民!


Buy the CD (it should be out soon), or find an organisation,
donate some love. <3
