i feel i can't move on. 'cause... i still like the songs of yesterday. yes, i like oldies... they exudesome kind of attraction that hooks my emotions. but of late, i heard a very good singer in the mando-pop industry. introducing Crowd Lu. yes, thats his English name. in chinese, known as "lu guang zhong". anyway interested in listening to mando-pop, do take note of this new singer. very unique in still, very acoustic, unplugged, very fresh. i am happy with my buy :)
Do all creative people need to look "different"?? Maybe I should try...

Monday Blues?? NOT!!!
Finally! The weekend is over! Woohoo~!~! My life is so topsy-turvy... While people look forward so weekends and dread Mondays, I look forward to Mondays... Mondays mark the end of the weekend and the beginning of a new week. As usual, both saturday and sunday this week was packed! Very packed... But its over now :) Time to take some rest and do my own stuff! Its time for my cello and probably take some time to exercise...
Something that I really look forward to these days is my Cello. Yeah, my new instrument :) I feel that I have improved and made progress! And my teacher commented the same thing :) I've been performing quite regularly, playing the keyboard for the past 3 weeks. I am looking forward to the day where I can actually perform on my Cello :) Goody!
Time for some rest :) And hopefully a VERY fruitful week ahead!

of Gigs and Performances...
I just came back from our 2nd performance at White Tangerine Cafe, Kovan. It was our 1st official slot at the cafe. We didn't sing well neither did I play well. There's so much room for improvements. Minhui said that I have grown up, and that is a big compliment for me. Thanks :) My thoughts? I am still improving and trying my very best at every gig/performance. And I thank God for where I am thus far. I haven't gone a very long way, but I've been blessed with opportunities and people around me who actually believe in me. When a lot of times, I do not even believe in myself. Thanks a lot. We are FAMILY! :)
Each week ought to be better... Keep improving! :)

Sakamoto Ryuichi - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (Live)
This piece of music is totally amazing! I heard the piece sometime back, enjoyed it, but didn't really think it was this good... After hearing it again, I love many aspects of the song. The melody, the simplicity in it, the emotions, the instrumentation! Piano! Cello! and Violin! Perfect! It would be a dream to one day work with a set up like this :) Enjoy the piece of music :) It is really emotive... Film music is rather good, and the Japanese are really creative...
Huh?!?!?!?!?!?
I can't believe that they actually used those pics. I look so so so "HANDSOME". Take a look at my retro hair. Worst hair day of all time...

the process...
I just thought I'm going to emerge stronger. I am not going to admit defeat. Life is about trying... and improving... Just got to do it harder and tougher...

Busy Bee...
Finally, I can take a breather. The last few days were crazily packed, I hardly could do anything I wanted. 2 performances during the weekend, 1 jamming session today on top of worship practice and teaching. I had to learn quite a number of songs, and my "learning power" is slow :( Both performances were so NOT GOOD. I better buck up. Thank God Echomusic still got the performing deal at White Tangerine Cafe @ Kovan. I should be performing quite regularly there now. Feel free to come down and lend some support! Haha...
I am now back home and I can finally bow a few notes on my Cello. Honestly, seriously, I miss my Cello... I am in love with it and its sound :) So nice. And I really enjoyed my Cello lesson last Friday. Although the lessons are only 30mins each time and we aren't playing anything fanciful, I feel so blessed to be learning something I've wanted for sometime :) I think my Cello teacher is a nice person too, the main thing, he is patient... I do hope I can achieve something on the instrument.
I hope it'll be a fruitful and relaxing day tomorrow...
