Another new song up

Another post to redirect you to my Winterealm site, to check out my latest Original Chinese Vocal Song.... titled 17 Sui Na Nian, i sing about a girl i met when i was 17, and a girl i met when i was 24 ... Check it out. :p
As you can see, i'm working pretty actively on releasing new songs and making more of my own music now.
I'm making plans to go study Audio Engineering in Canada next year, if i don't get a contract as a Singer. Honestly, i want to go, coz its exciting, its something i've always dreamt of learning, and i want to have a change of environment, mainly get away from my Dad ...

Majestic Beauty



Look at this majestic beauty that bloomed earlier this week....
It was wierd, coz i never remembered seeing a single flower, and all of a sudden we had petals snowing on the pavement... This is a tree right outside my work place.
It's freaky, coz it's the only tree with flowers, and all of a sudden it seemed like it bloomed overnight.. Every single moment, that's a petal falling... its really a very very unique sight... in Singapore that is...
Almost has this Japanese Sakura feel....

This is what the ground looks like below the tree..

A new song for ya'll

Took a big load off my back today. Completed and delivered 1 project. It was a success.
Today was a pretty significant day in my life. I sang a song, and moved an 82 year old man to tears. Anyway, i'll be working on some of my own stuff for awhile from now on, expect alot of songs to come.. i have like 4 songs that i'm about to release out...
Here's 1.. but it's not an original song... a very -very- nice christian song by Hillsongs .. So You Would Come.. enjoy it.

Download

The file is named mpx, but save it as an mp3. Reason for naming it mpx is so that if you click on it, it won't autoplay in quicktime, rather open up the save as dialogue.

PS: anyone knows anyone working at Yamaha ? I'd really really really really be grateful if i could get a keyboard from Yamaha with the staff 25% discount...

A Long overdue update

Wow.. i realize i havn't really blogged for ages...
I've been caught up with certain.... projects .....
Because of my National Service liabilities, i can't reveal alot here...
but i have one thing to say, Showbiz is good money. :)
Well my musical went really well and i've been approached for ... stuff.
and, for once, i'm really being acknowledged and recognized for my efforts and talent.
I say talent because, sometimes i feel that talent is over emphasized.
I think that hardwork plays a more important role in success. Although having a natural ability to excel in a certain area, does accelerate the process.

Anyway, i've learnt alot over the past month. Learnt how to manage my time, juggling work, play and .. more work.
Also, success management, which my brother brought up to me. To manage my success, involves managing what people expect out of me, and what i produce.
Because when someone has seen/heard you do something impressive, that will set a standard in their minds. So naturally, the next thing you do, if it is lesser than what was previously done, you will disappoint, and eventually go back to square one. Key thing is, don't "Over Promote" yourself too much. So people expect less, and when you give more, they're impressed once again.
I gotta go for now... I had lessons with Celebrity vocal instructor, Dave Stroud the past 2 days. It was an extremely enlightening experience, and honour at the same time. Looking forward to his masterclass over the weekend.
