Singapore Day 1- 23rd Sept 2008=)

Dear all,

Barely 2 hours aboard the Aeroline to Singapore, i was already starting to feel my this whole trip is gonna be all worthwhile and very productive=)
First of all, let me introduce you my very new good friend, Mr. Terry McCarthy frm Australia but based in Malaysia.
We started off chatting about my music, performing, arts as Terry himself was in production before. Film production mainly and it always fascinates me to meet ppl who share the same interest=)
Well, besides that, Terry is also conducts Dorn Spinal Therapy providing Gentle and safe relief frm back, neck and Joint pain. After talkin about music, and showing him the stuffs i do and all, i gradually learn more about him and his expertise in his practice.

For the first time (probably many of you have experienced it, but this is the First for me) and i really felt the "Qi" been transferred to me.....=)To be able to experienced that is definitely something out of this world and amazing at the same time. To be able to witness this frm a white man who is so well versed with our Chinese practice culture just motivates me to learn things even out from the box and also "think" out of the box!
Below is a picture of my new found friend- Terry=)

Terry McCarthy & Me

Classic *winks* To be able to witness and believing it is just mind blowing!

Then, i proceed to Rey's house upon reaching Singapore. After unpacking and freshening up, the first event scheduled to attend is my dear friend, Maninder Krishan's Debut Art Exhibition in OldSchool, Mont Sophia. Kathleen da Kitty, my other bestie in Singapore actually invited me over and of cos, considering Maninder is definitely one of the very talented artists i ever witness is a privileged to be part of it. Maninder focuses on the originality of India itself as its her origin and she wants to be able to share her experience here by the emotions of her art.

This is one of my favourite pics i captured on the evening itself, I believe that Maninder really specializes in capturing the expressions on the faces, AMazing!

You Gotta Know- Day 2

Alright dear readers,
im pretty excited about my next song- You Gotta Know.
and this is day 2 in the Factory Studios by Maestro Producer and guitarist Yuri Wong=)
the concept of this song ( which i would not revealed much) would be more of an "acoustic hip hop" which i call it..pretty interesting as i start exploring the different sounds of acoustic instruments like the classical guitar & violin blending in with hip hop beats AND accapella voices..=)
and today we basically got the structure of it...after minutes of brainstorming.
As you all could probably see on my Upcoming shows schedule on the right hand side of the blog, i would be performing in Bangkok Jazz, Chulan Square comin Oct 31st & Nov 1st!..so well, if you're in town and wanna get lucky, this "You Gotta Know" might be the premier of it!
so stay tuned ya....haha
Here are some pics for your feasting on how productive today was *winks* + *grins*

The Factory Studio- Crib of You Gotta Know=)

Both Oriental Daily & Health Today's interview was done in Arkstudios ( The studio in which i record in & Thanks to Nick for the venue shot )
For the outfit for Oriental Daily, i decided to go Pink and grey, a cleaner match while for Health Today, i go for a vest instead.
I sincerely feel honored been able to share my thoughts about the music i make, the music business here & my experience with journalists/ editors always as i felt like they are the avenue which im able to connect with or would connect me with wider audience so being able to have that in mind, i have never got tired of sharing and talking with them about Music!=)
