夢想落空

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly...


Came back from the audition, with nothing under my name... I was shown the red light before I even finished my first sentence... According to the rules, it says I was to be given 3 - 5 mins, so I started from the beginning of the song even though I was aware that it wasn't immpressive... If I had known, I'll just start from the chorus... Guess I'll have to try again next year...

On a lighter note, last week's performance was not bad... There was another group performing as well, "Magnum Force" from Ngee Ann Poly... As you can see, the girls are very pretty; some are not that photogenic though...

Magnum Force and GEP
GEP and Magnum Force...

While waiting for the event to start, one of the guys gave me a very hostile stare, hoping to start something I guess... I was really tempted to reciprocate, but had to keep up with our level of professionalism... This was one of our biggest client, if things go well, we might even be sent to Spain for performance!!! No way I'm gonna ruin everything because of this runt...

Maybe I should ask my band director to let me sing for our band, I'll get lots of practice, and then I'm ready for Singapore Idol.... Haha... Maybe one of our clients might even ask me to cut an album... Heh... Very busy now, must carry on dreaming...

歌録完成

Song recordings complete...


Three songs in the morning, enough to make up for the previous days... 等你說愛我 and 緣來緣去 are both songs from 動感豪情, plus 唯一色彩 from "Para Para 櫻之花"... I think this would be all the songs I'm recording, unless there is some special request from anyone... The link again here and on the sidebar... I'll set up a poll as soon as possible...

極限

I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else...


My voice had been very thin throughout the day... Have I reached my limit? Couldn't record any songs today, hopefully it will recover soon...

Yesterday was the last practice before the actual day of performance... I wanted to play something lighter, as I don't want to have bruises all over my hands... However, the band director wanted me to play the djembe, a very painful hand drum... Now my left palm has one very painful bruise... Hopefully it'll heal by Saturday, we don't have enough members, thus we need everyone to play at their full potential...

I'm currently recording "等你說愛我", it's from the show "動感豪情", starring Aaron Kwok... After being corrected by my brother, I'm sure I can sing it properly now... All I need is for my voice to recover, hopefully I can do it by tomorrow...

你牽走我的心

You took my heart away...


I've just recorded a song with the above title, I know someone who would really love to hear me sing this one... I've decided to do this one first since that someone like it so much... Once again, the link is -->here<--...

Songs left to sing: 緣來緣去, 唯一色彩, 等你說愛我, and maybe 準我愛你

I've recieved complains about my blog... Well, not all developments are without errors... I can't do much now as the entire layout is done using notepad only, and the pictures are done using ms paint... I'll try to improve on it after I get my 160GB harddisk and have Dreamweaver installed on it...

你是我心中最愛的人貳之緣來緣去

The one I love the most (Part 2): Fate comes and goes...


With reference to the previous post, I'm gonna talk about that girl this time... Went back to her work place, to see if I'll be able to meet her again... When I walked in, the person standing there was not her... Was a bit dissapointed... but why only a bit? Because I thought tommorrow is 15, making Monday 17, Weifen's birthday... Therefore, I already had the intention to go there to buy her a present on the actual day... Luckily I didn't, but let's carry on with the story first...

I left without much despondency, went over to the arcade to try out Initial D... Spent $10 buying the card and playing a few games... It was not bad, I just need lots of practice... Was about to head home when an idea suddenly struck me, an idea for Weifen's present... I was thinking whether to head home and come back on Monday to buy it, or buy it now and come back on Monday to get it wrapped... Finally, I decided to head over to Taka to buy it now for 2 reasons... The present I'm going to buy needs some tinkering, so it would be better if I can do it at home... Of course, the second reason would be to try my luck and see if she is there...

I stepped in and... there she was!!! It was unmistakable, I was standing quite far away, but I'll be able to recognize that figure anywhere... On with the plan... I bought what I needed first, and went over to her.... She was quite busy then, wrapping 3 or 4 boxes, so I left to settle the present first...

I bought 2 handphone straps, a balck one and a pink one... 3 days ago when I was there with Weifen, she said she liked the small little shoe on the pink one, but it doesn't come with a black strap, the color of her phone... It's easy to guess what I did then; but it wasn't easy to achieve since I did not have any tools with me... After much struggling and broken nails, I finally managed to put them together... Now, on with the show...

She was free already when I got back, went over and said "Hello"... She looked like she remembers me, but trying not to remember me... Told her I needed to get something wrapped, and chose a small box and a card... I had to concentrate on the card as I was too lazy to keep correcting it, and she's looking... Well, at least I thought she was... When I finished and looked up, she was almost done with wrapping already! I haven't even had the chance to talk to her... My mind went blanked and I didn't know where to start... Was tongue-tied and... that was it... Would this be the final episode? It looks like, but I hope it isn't...

緣來緣去 is a song by Aaron Kwok, maybe if I sing it now I'll be able to feel the song?


handphone strap
What's left... Anyone wants it?

你是我心中最愛的人

The one I love the most...


This entry is not about any girl... No, it's not any guy either, I've not changed my orientation... There is this girl that I saw on Tuesday, but nothing happened so let's not talk about that...

The title is the song that I've just recorded; that makes two songs recorded... Progress is very slow as I'm not as talented as I thought I was, conditions are not at the optimum either... There was no school so I thought I could do more today... It took me a few hours to record a somewhat "ok" standard, and that was one song only... I almost cried while I was listening to it... The songs are here... There won't be any poll until I think I've recorded all the songs I want... Any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism welcomed...

預篇

Update for the next few days...


Tommorrow, I'll have to go back to school again... The revision classes are starting, exams starts on 9th April...

There's another performance on 23rd of April, practice would step up... This time it is a private function at Swissotel, not sure where is that though... Have to buy a black long sleeve shirt for this event, hope the pay is a lot more than my shirt...

For the next few days, I will record my singing of various songs and post them on my site... I'll set up a poll and let all of you choose my best song... Most of them would be Aaron's songs though, but I'll like to try singing other singers' songs... Please help me by making recommendations...

明星夢

First step to stardom???


Just came back from the registration of Channel U's "絕對 Superstar"... Almost ran away while I was waiting in the queue... I had to keep telling myself it's just registration, not the audition... I think it's a good thing that they put the registration and the audition on 2 different days... Was very helpless this morning as I could not find anyone to accompany me... This is what happens when your best friends had gone overseas for studies... There is this one other guy though, I messaged him in the morning, and just got a reply from him when I was reaching home... How helpful was that?

I must thank Weifen, for offering to accompany me even though she had a very tight schedule... However, it was too much of a hassle for her so I had to go alone...

I did promised to Weida that I would join Jack Neo's "歡樂巔峰" to imitate Aaron Kwok, but I missied that audition... Maybe this could make up for it? I also promised "Singapore Idol" as well... Depending on how this ends up, I might not have to join that? Heh... Wishful thinking? 人應夢想而偉大...

I'll need to go to the KTV to practice, and someone to help choose my songs... Anyone up for it?

有始有終

I complete what I started...


Finally, the layout of my blog is considered complete... Two additions have been made, the first being the background, which I think is very obvious... The picture was drawn by me during one of the "Internet and Computing" lectures... It was on the back my friend's Nike t-shirt, who was sitting in front of me, making things easier... I procrastinated the adding of this background for so long because I thought I needed lots of time to redraw it from my lecture notes, so yesterday I finally found the time to sit down and finish it... After a few minutes of drawing, I realised that I couldn't make any refinements to the original drawing, and it was difficult to get back the exact pose and posture... I ended up using the original drawing on my lecture notes to make this background... Well, so much for "lots of time needed"...

Second addition would be the "favicon" which many of you would not be able to see unless you add this page to favorites... Then again, Internet Explorer doesn't seem to care about such things so it doesn't work all the time... However, if you are using Firefox, you'll always be able to see the icon...

The background image was very grainy when scanned, and I wanted to leave it that way to give a special feel to it... However, I decided to make it more defined, as it would be an easier platform for my next step... This step would be taken after I get my new desktop... For now, that is all...

悠然自得

It is wise for us to forget our troubles; there are always new ones to replace them...


Been trouble-free these few days, always on my ps2 and piano, did not even have the time to blog... Maybe I am being too relaxed? I had completed quite a few games, but what I am most proud of was to learn a new song within 4 days... Maybe the song was too easy? Nonetheless, it is still my personal record... At the same time, I was finally able to play Ballade pour Adeline smoothly, adding another song to my playlist...

Did not expect an April Fool's joke of such intensity, maybe you over did it? You had saddened the hearts of many people, only to tell them it was all a joke... Yes, I'm talking about you, don't do that again...
