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 :)

Photobucket

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!!!

Photobucket
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 :)

Photobucket
with Quek Ling Kiong the conductor... he is awesommmee!
Super nice, with such flair and style in conducting

Photobucket
during rehearsals :)

Photobucket
i also played the erhu on the traditional piece called 赛马
(playing in front of the full-time pros is no joke!!)

the end of a great experience!

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!!!

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
"a popular song composed by Tay Kewei, this piece expresses the laments of the heartbroken female lead who can't bear to give up her lover who has continuously let her down."


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

Photobucket
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...

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~

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 :)

Photobucket
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

Photobucket
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!

Photobucket
At the launch of "We Are Married" campaign haha :D

The acapella jingle - arranged by Peter Huang,
available exclusively HERE!



also a ridiculously old and cheesy TV commercial we were both in -

LOL.


i look forward to singing my ishi song many many more times. :)
it hurts to remember, but the least i can do is to remember.
