2 Nights 2 Remember@ Bangkok Jazz, KL

Dear All,

First and foremost, i would like to thank each and everyone of you for being there last fri & Sat night to my duet showcase with Kewei all da way frm Singapore=)
You guys make each applause, moment, laughters worth it!..
Also, special thanks to Sponsor Digi who sponsored the event, a& Elyna frm Bangkok Jazz for making this possible!=)
The coverage, publicity, advertisements were beyond OUR expectations....
The day after Kewei & me arrived frm Singapore for a gig there, which was a Wednesday( We performed in Esplanade last monday), she lost her voice and was down with Sore Throat, Flam, COugh and whatever you could Never imagine...However, it was a miracle she recovered just in time for it on friday & sat, making this showcase one of the best showcase i ever done...And to be able to shared the stage with Kewei, is truly a Privilege thing..=)

Basically, this whole mini concert was titled "Walk With You" which is one of the songs in the album im currently recording. Its a duet actually..As ironic as it can sound, we try to take the audiences on that day to our musical journey, on how did both me and kewei met and got back in touch, to genres of music we love, our influences, the thoughts and ideas we shared, and the music that we both performed best!

Anyway, without the support of friends, clients & audiences, it wouldnt be possible also despite the music and publicity we had..so thanks to my dear friends, students, clients, friends frm Singapore who came down all the way ( Especially Jon Ang, Rey, and Kewei's mates)...wahseh!, photographers, adverlets bloggers & Josh, etc...if i missed out anyone, you know who u are k!

Meanwhile, the following amazing shots were credited to two awesome photographers: DKBU & Andrew, Thanks guys!

QBE Insurance Awards Night@ Damai Beach Resort, Sarawak

Visit Sarawak 2008. Truly Malaysia~
=)
Dear all, this is gonna be a short post as im currently preparing for tmr's show in Bangkok Jazz and setting up my new studio at home..=) woohoo!
Would be showing ya some pics of my home studio once its done setting up and all tuned up!
Anyway last week, I was invited to perform in Sarawak last week, to be specific, Kuching....probably 45 mins off the city in this beach resort called Damai Beach Resort.=)
To be honest, i have absolutely no idea whats this show about and what is it for. All i know is im required to perform 3 of my original compositions in it.
Brian, my buddy who is a conductor/ music director and fellow violinist extraordinaire was the one who got me this show...
To elaborate more, its actually an award presentation ceremony for QBE Insurance, an Australlian based company. Most of the audiences invited were elderly gentlemen, along with some ladies as well of cos and the night was themed "SHANGHAI NIGHT!" Our entourage frm Kuala Lumpur consist of Local Shanghai/ Jazz songstress Janet Lee, Brian Tan & the Vivas and of cos me myself.
I had the opportunity to watch Brian performed at his best and it was in fact my first time watching him play live..I must say, it was mind blowing!!
