2011 Lookback

Perhaps this comes a little late,
but hey, punctuality has never been my strength :p



My 2010 had been an amazing year,
with the release of my debut album "Come Closer with... Kewei".


In 2011,
it brought me to places I've always dreamt of going to,
not just for vacation, but for work!

I promoted the album in Taiwan (超級偶像)



in Hong Kong (Asian Pop Music Festival)

Representing Singapore together with JJ Lin


                        Siwon from Super Junior!





and in the heart of Mongkok at Langham Place


on various stations






 

at a sell-out showcase at Backstage

Barry Tam on drums/guitar, Ram Cheung on guitar, Jan Ho on bass!

with spontaneous guest artistes Diya Tan, Jonathan Wong and producer Taz Chen Taizheng!

























and even got the opportunity to be part of the Hong Kong Artistes 311 - Love Beyond Borders charity theme song recording for the Japanese tsunami tragedy.

This really opened my eyes to the amazing organisation of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, led by Jackie Chan, Alan Tam, Eric Tseng, in their effort to make a difference and to lend their influence to help those in need.




Also, had the chance to work with the awesome Kevin Ou on a beautiful charity fundraising photoshoot Because We Are One for the Japan 2011 disaster.


Played erhu and sang at The Singapore Entertainment Awards at the Singapore Indoor Stadium :)



This year also marked the end of my touring days with JJ Lin and Wang Leehom
T__T
Click on their names for past blogs on their world tours :)




This is really an end to an era in my life!
As blogged here, at the finale concert of Music Man Tour,
I travelled to so many cities, made so many friends from around the world,
toured with the best musicians, the most famous superstars,
and learnt so much about myself, about music, about what I wanted, about life.

I've been touring for about 6 years thus far,
and am now focusing on my own career as a solo artiste...
I'm also thankful for the fans of David Tao, Wang Leehom, JJ Lin and Amei for loving me in an 爱屋及乌 way :)


I also had the good fortune to meet Dick Lee and work with him as IPOS ambassadors :)
and later again at SingaPOP!



with some of the most talented and established artistes/producers, Kit Chan and Lee Weisong! :)


Somewhere along the way, I went to Maldives
 
and took Korean lessons :)

and then started prepping for the next album :)


i also tried Wednesday Wideos on Youtube, I lasted about 2 weeks LOL


at the launch of www.youtube.com.sg,
i wrote a song for them! :)




Also collaborated with the super cool Manhand from Malaysia in a song with Einein! :) 
ManHanD慢行 - 空杯子 feat.可為&盈盈




The year wrapped up with Singapore Hit Awards
where I performed with the 2 most talented and funny artistes Jim Lim and David Tan,
whom I toured with on Amei's tour and had a ball of a time with :)


and the Orchard Road Christmas Light up with the President! ^_^

and my first Countdown show with Channel 8! :)




Thank you for following me thus far,
for reading this blog in this times of fragmented attention spans,
when reading 140 characters or a few lines of status updates are the norm,
thank you for allowing me to write/sing for someone like you
when i could have been writing/singing to a void.

To quote myself in 2010 -
Thank you for listening to my songs,
for buying the album,
for your Youtube views,
Facebook likes and comments,
spreading the word about my music,
and for every single little thing you have done which ennobled my 2010, and 2011.

881

881 has been making waves in the local film scene,
I haven't seen it yet
but I will. :)

More importantly to me, the soundtrack is the work of local music geniuses. Eric Ng, Wu Jiahui, Bang Wenfu... many more :)
i had the honour of playing a very small erhu part in one of the songs called Jing Lang Cries or something like that.. when it's just erhu and piano. :)



the melody + the vocals + vocal technique = perfect.
by jim "slimface" lim, my idol!


i tried very hard to find a picture of Jim looking normal.
This was the only one - haha!
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
during JJ's concert while we were backing vocalists...
and he looks really intense while he's at it.. hehe

and he looks normal here BECAUSE he didn't know I was taking a photo!
Otherwise it would be funny faces galore!!!
He is really funny la!

But with all due respect,
he writes the most beautiful and touching songs :)

i found another one of David and Jim
hard at work during rehearsals
.

playing PSP.
i had no gadgets then, armed only with a book, but now HAHA! I have NDS!

we (david tan and i) always tease him by singing all his hit songs
and he would be very paiseh .. "eh thanks la thanks la.. okk..enough..."
favourite lines to belt to him...

songs like yanzi's
"我的爱... 明明还在,转身了才明白该把幸福找回来~~..而不是各自缅怀"

dreamzFM's
"除了想你~~...除了爱你~~...我什么什么都愿意..."

and lately amei's
"我要快乐...我要能睡得安稳,有些人...不抱了才温暖,离开了才不恨,我早~~应该割舍"

and of course
"我需~要的平静,是我将来看电影~...带着一颗平常心~...不必为谁心碎闭上眼睛"


the list is endless!!
and now I have a new song to sing to him
"原来思念也有意义,有爱与勇气~~...我不在身边,就让思念代替~~~~~.."
