Jason Mraz is the remedy. [Mar.7th,2009|01:47 am]
[Current Mood | high]
[Current Music |JASON MRAZ !!!!!!!]

Ytd was nothing but a wild wild wild night. Jason Mraz took stage at around 820 and he practically tore down Singpaore Indoor Stadium. He started off with "Dynamo of Volition" and ended off with my favourite song "Butterfly". In between were all songs I know by heart (well except for one called "Who Needs Shelter") and I was singing or rather shouting to all the words. I deem myself as the Lucky one, for the seat I got was pretty good and I pity those who dint manage to get any ticket. Below two video of  songs Jason sung. Mr Curiosity and You and I Both/Sleeping to Dream.


the opera breakdown was Awesome and I'm appreciating this song more than ever. The story behind this is pretty awesome.


Who the hell dont know this song? Perhaps Sleeping to Dream to non Jason Mraz Fan. It's one of this earlier songs and I got 2 version of it. Both brilliant.

***

I totally enjoyed myself to all the songs he sung and I cant believe I was soo high ytd. But it was for the good. It was the best night of my life and Jason Mraz, thank you for blessing us with your talent and please please please come again. WE LOVE YOU !

She steps to the groove, her body tune [Mar.1st,2009|01:10 am]

[Current Music |My baby - Jesse McCartney]

Haven’t you ever listened to music that made you cry? It’s like the melodies reach in through flaring nostrils and caress your skin from underneath making all your hairs rise at attention, they too trying to listen. And then all the tingly sensations, the unnamed emotions, culminate at the dam on your eyelids until they fall from your body like a stream flowing over the top of a mountain. I liken it to a musical detoxification treatment; freeing yourself of non-required thoughts and feelings and returning to your inherent self - a being made of love and light.

- Jason Mraz

today's alumni concert was fine. my little imagine solo was better than i expected it would be. Thank you wei xiang for letting me participate in this concert. I've enjoyed myself. Channel U is showing "My name is Kim San Soon". I love this show.

I aim to "blog" twice per month and here I am. Some of the above pictures are dated to last year and seeing it brings some pretty fond memories. Like the "Countdown" at Botanic Garden, it was pretty pathetic yet fruitful. Quality time spent with friends.

Sinfonia @ Esplanade was a success! All soloists were at form and peaking on that day. Flaws there may be, but I am proud of what we have acheived in less than 3 months. Way to go NYPSO. For myself, I played pretty well that day.. solos went fine and thank god the high note came out. At here, i slap hands with all those who came to support. Thank You.

While most students are having their exams, a handful are having their TEP. Posted at humanlink, there are pretty much on going each day. Toppling with a strict supervisor, life is kinda hard but managable. Pretty thankful that I'm at TEP for studying is really a chore. Not exactly looking forward to year 3 - The final lap. Speaking of looking forward, Jason mraz concert is nearing and I cant wait to wave those posters like a mad man. Btw, the "im yours" hit maker sold his tickets out within 3 days.

2 weeks ago, I went along with some friends of mine to Live "n" Loaded. Pretty shocking to see myself on the TV a few times. I got the "hey i saw you on TV" lots of times. Not proud of that. Shall update if I get any footage. lol. In media related issue, Benjamin Buttons was awesome. So was Little Nynonya.

I dont know what I have left out so I shall end here. Got to prepare for tmr's practise and NTU concert. By the way, im having a concert next sat. If you are interested, please contact me. See ya.

ps: Matt Giraud FTW @ AI

For 18Jan [Jan.17th,2009|09:36 pm]
[Current Mood | nervous]
[Current Music |David Archuleta - Touch My Hand]

The durian shaped architecture is the closest thing i can get in Singapore in comparision to Musikverien. I will be performing there tmr and gosh im feeling all nervous. Havent been playing well these days and confident level is rapidly decreasing with every note made. While practising today, im still juggling with the concerns of which reed would sound better in Esplanade. The news of many band members from other schs coming is a double to the worry im having.  No "LOL?" message should be sent. I just pray that my solos would be played well tmr. I will be fine.. more than fine :) Good luck to all soloist tmr. haha

Happy New Year [Jan.2nd,2009|12:10 am]
[Current Mood | calm]
[Current Music |Several ways to try dying - DC]

Pacific sun, you should have warned us, it gets so cold here.
And the night can freeze before you set it on fire.
And our flares go unnoticed.
Diminished, faded just as soon as they are fired.

We are, we are, intrigued. We are, we are, invisible.

Oh, how we've shouted, how we've screamed,
Take notice, take interest, take me with you.
But all our fears fall on deaf ears tonight.

They're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light.
And blinding our hearts with their shining lies,
While closing our caskets cold and tight ... But I'm dying to live.
 ___
 
I have always liked this song. The lyrics just brings across a message so close to heart and the vocal is just too powerful.

The year 2008 passed and 2009 has made her way to earth. For me, 2008 has been nothing but a delightful year. It brought me to new boundaries and height I have never reached. Looking back, I would say it's the best year for me so far. I'm contented with what i have and what was installed for me in 2008. Definitely looking forward to 2009. In fact there are alot of events for me to anticipate already. MM lee performance(again) next monday and then come Jan 18 would be my first time taking stage @ the esplanade. After that Chinese New Year celebration and before feb, braces days would be gone. Alumni concert, Jason mraz concert to attend. Yoga's concert on tentative. (lol sndy). Netherland for World Music Contest. Driving would hopefully kick in. American idol... ... ... Gosh.
Anyway before i go, Happy New Year to all.

Thoughts [Nov.20th,2008|01:01 am]
[Current Mood | depressed]
[Current Music |My life would suck without you - Kelly Clarkson (chords)]

The earth is sick and the illness is still snowballing. The economy is doing so bad that it feels like it's never ending. The drama Chen Shui Bian is scripting is pathetic. Singapore have not seen the hint of a sunny day for the longest time. Mas selemat still roaming somewhere. Tiger eating up human. Big companies closing down. US Financial Minister not acting upon (yet). 2012 trailer not helping me see hope in this bleak future. Aids' cure not found. Feeling negative doesnt help.

I think my luck has changed ever since i put on braces. I once read that the adjustement of your teeth will change your "Feng Shui" because of the "new look". I'm thinking out loud to the credibility of that and i do want to believe it's does have a degree of believability. Anyway, this week has been goooooood due to many factors and one of it is keeping myself busy. I love being busy and having something on everyday. I have the tendency of setting a reminder on my phone and I'll excited when the alarm of the latter rings.

Just want to upload some photos before i leave. weeee.

Theres a saying " Nothing Last Forever " and i do agree. Today's performance for MM Lee was the last for NYPSO. The year with Mr Tan may be short but it's been really fruitful. I have indeed learn alot from him, not just musically but also as a person. I'm sure he will do very very well for his studies in the USA but still good luck. haha. see you in 4 years time perhaps. All the best and I'm sure we will still keep in touch.

ps: Check out X factor - Diana Vickers, shes one to look out in times to come and im sure she gna win the competition.
