I survived!!!!

Im glad I actualli survived through the first day of my hell week... hooray!!!


My day started very early in the morning 5am, having to go to the hotel to pick up (with baby) to the Bandbaz Brothers - finally, their departure after spending almost 2 weeks in Singapore performing at Millenia Walk everyday. So after sending them to the airport and seeing them off, we return home to catch a quick nap.


Subsequently, my rehearsal proper started around 11.30am at fort canning and it carried on through out the day til about 5+pm, when i proceed on to Geylang for my Faithworks tech and dress run. Surprisingly i was the earliest and i had some time to rest, but i din think they did me good as after the rest, i was overwhelmed with headache. Didn't perform at all, which was very unprofessional on my part, but my head was practically performing a rock concert inside. By the time we finished our tech run, it was already 9pm and i had to rush for my rehearsal at Why Not. Thank You Sandy for dropping me a panadol before i left, realli helped big time. (im surprised!)


And so i took a bus home to grab the car. and sped off to Truss Street, was earlier than Aaron (yay!) and we quickly started our rehearsal. I was too tired to be stress, so it was pretty alright... Worked on for 2 numbers until 11.30pm and i was released to go home and rest! hahahhaa...... tom's an exact re-enactment of today, at least im mentally prepared!



I only have until Sunday! Must strive on! Must strive on!!!!

my new investment

lasep

While holding onto our memories, we tend to live for a past.
we do things that we are doing now so that when we look back, it would be beautiful.
we keep pictures of ourselves at different times, our friends, the places that we've been to, the good times that we had, just so as to remind ourselves that we had once lived, passionately.

it the midst of creating a nostalgia, we sometimes hold back to many of these memories.
my papa keeps every single thing that he thought was useful and could possibly be useful again.
my house is like a garage, the distasteful type.

I was lookin at one of my most precious light, a sensor-activated-lamp. it was a 21st bdae present given to me by my beloved college buddies~ but it has lost its sensitivity and decides to take hold of a task as a vase instead.




However, i guess we all move on, and i thought it was a time for it to move on too. My initial idea of it switchin to a vase was to hope that one fine day, the sensor my miraculously resurrect by itself. But i guess it has expired its stay both as a lamp and a vase.


So on this fine 24thNov, I am going to let you go. we let go of certain parts of our past so as to accomodate more of our future. This is what we meant by moving on. Not every departure should be upsetting. Sometimes, when we learn to let go, we learn to gain more.

to....

to her....

Im glad that you've moved on, I'm glad you have found someone that could treasure you more than i do. You're right. In life, sometimes we need to go through certain hardships in order to enjoy the blossom of the flowers. I hope you will savour the wonder that you enjoy now forever, and not have to go through yet another turmoil. You deserve better, I'm glad you found it.




to him...

I'm sorry to know that your relationship has sour to a mere "officially attached". She was somebody that made me learn what fear was, and i'm thankful to her for that. The joy that one brings can flipped into the worse nightmare, knowing that all the love you had could instantly be nullified, how can one not fear that? We all need to go through certain experiences in life, some pain, so as to appreciate the joy that comes after it. No matter how your relationship turns out to be, I wish you the best in life. And that i do not have a chance to know you and say sorry for all the wrong that i've done to you, and the pain that i've casted upon you, whether you know it or not. I'm sorry.




to them...

It is no way a coincidence that the two of you meet. Every union is the act of fate, whether you recognised it or not. It really doesn't matter how others might see the of you. What is really important is that you treasure each other and make sure you show each other how much you care. Because you never know when it could be the last time to shower your love to her. You both experienced the departure of a close kin, so please remember how fragile life can be and hence not to hold back, before it is too late.




to you...

Like what I've said earlier, everything in life happens for a reason, and your reason in my life is definitely joy. No matter what happens in the future, be it heaven or hell, just remember that at this moment, we are holding onto something that is very real, and very true. We may not be able to see it or hear it, but we can definitely feel it - it is right in our hearts, our love for each other, may it stay true for as long as we can savour.

Dove - Evolution Commercial

千里走单骑。

Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles, Zhang Yi Mou's latest (though not too recent) film, brings him back to his forte - 文艺片. Not really sure how to translate this... guess it should be something like, literature art film? hahah.

Very moving, very touched. By everything in and out of the film.

The script, plot, storyline... everythin's simple yet dynamic, is not somethin that can be pulled through without strong actors and director.

The acting, be it by the great Takakura Ken, who acted as Takata, or all the other local first-timers in the film, there is so much sincerity in everybody. I wish i can have a chance to work with such great actors!


The sincerity for the film can be sensed in every aspect in the film. There is a nice story that needs to be told. So everyone just put in their best in their expertise to tell this story. Simple as that. Well, i can't think of any other more powerful of bombastic vocab becos there is no need. You just need to watch it, and appreciate it.

time to reflect...

have been spending the last few days with my baby,
its been dunno how many days since i last spend the nite alone.

feels wierd....


its exactly one month since i officially declare myself as a free-lance performer.
things hasn't been too bad as i've managed to make my end's meet for this month, not alot of money but what can i say? its a good start!





was working as a coordinator in the transportation and security for the Chinese Music Awards last weekend.. met quite a lot of stars, like Twins, Gary Cao, Rainie Yeung, May Day, Eason, Andy Lau, Joey Yung, Guang Liang, Fish Leong...etc~~~~ and alot more.... haha.... had a few observations...

1. All Male Artistes needs to wear shades and cap... (other than Andy and Eason)
2. All Artistes probably look like any common people on the street, TRUST ME - anyone can be a Singer, looks probably is not that important! (other than Joey and Andy)
3. They are mostly short. (other than Joey)
4. The China Artistes are unusually friendly and have no Airs! (other than Li Yu Chun... BAH!)
5. The more experienced the Artiste is, the more friendly they appear to be. (eg: Andy Only.)
6. When they come for the Ceremony, they're probably gonna win something.
7. Local fans are relatively guai. Some shout for their Idol, most only stand around.
8. Interesting how some Artistes' manager can actually do sound check and rehearsal for their Artistes like they know how to sing.
9. When they tell u their coming down from the hotel room in 5 min, they meant 15min AT LEAST.
10. CAPS, SHADES, and other accessories like those are probably more for informing others that he or she is an artiste rather than protecting their identity, hence certain artiste (like Andy) dun need, cos everyone probably knows him.




Retro show i juz did... haha
