So proud of SU! (Wednesday, January 30, 2008 / 1:56 AM)
I'm so very proud of my dear dear friend - 廖素仪！
That's her. Looking all 才女-ish. haha!
I wonder if you remember, I mentioned a long long time ago that I used to sing with a pair of sisters, Suyi and Huiming. We used to be called CHASE! hahaha...
(L-R) Suyi, Huiming and me!
Gosh, this picture was taken YEARS ago when we started singing together. We had to take a group pic for street festival. Think we 1st joined SSF in year 2002.
Tat's us in action, performing a japanese song - "Something 'bout the kiss", originally by Amuro Namie. And we had choreographed steps. It was cool loh! haha!
Many years have passed. 转眼间，我们应经认识十年了。
Recently, Suyi's lyrics has been selected for Joi Chua's new album. It's called 倒爱. And more excitingly, it's one of the 主打歌. So, MV was shot!

The 1st screen has her name next to 作词. That's WAY COOL! A sense of pride gushed through me upon seeing the 1st screen. The lyrics is very well written. Check it out man.

Wah, I'll be quite busy lately. because CNY is coming!!!As some of you know, I'm involved in the CNY countdown show on Ch8. I'll be singing a medley of CNY songs together with 5 babes - Candyce, Lingyi, Dawn Yeoh, Meixin and Teresa (CSS). We will be performing at Chinatown, an outside location. I'm really looking forward to it because Chinatown is like the most 热闹 during CNY right? The most 热闹 in whole of Singapore right? Well, you see, it's the 1st time I'll b in Singapore for CNY for my entire life! Every year, I go back to Malacca for CNY, because that is my hometown. So I've never 我从来没有感受过新加坡的新年气息。So i'm really excited! Whee~~ On top of that, I'll also be singing a CNY song with Diya on the ChU Carlsberg CNY show. Whee~~~ That show is not a live show so we are recording on 1st Feb. Then... The Ch8 show will take up 4th, 5th and 6th (the actual show). After which, on the 7th I'll be rushing down to Malacca.on 10th I'll be flying to CHIANGMAI for a family trip~~!!!!! Aiyoh we havent been on a family trip for the longest time. The last time was to Bangkok and that was like... 5 years ago? So i'm really excited but.... i've also heard that Chiangmai is not very exciting... Nothing much to do. Someone told me that the most exciting thing about Chiangmai is the Elephant ride. -_-" urgh...Has anyone of you been to Chiangmai? Please give me some tips okie?Think my CNY is going to be fun!Labels: happy
当下 (Wednesday, January 23, 2008 / 10:17 AM)
当下。就是说现在。此时此刻。我觉得我是个开心的人，因为我懂得享受“当下”。心灵教师胡因梦说过，我们人总是喜欢活在过去和未来。人常常挂念着过去。“还是求学时期，比较开心”，“为什么你变了，跟以前不一样了？”，“翻着旧照片，觉得以前的自己比较漂亮”等等，你听过吧？那是不肯放下过去，不肯move on的人。过去是一种回忆。It defines who you are. 可是，回忆总是美。我们人喜欢美化过去。做人要开心的话，不能一直拿现在和过去比较。就好像，如果你现在在谈恋爱，不应该拿ex-bf和current bf比较一样。很简单的道理。过去可以是一种参考，但它不应该变成一种束缚，生活模式。因为人生是一直在改变的。以前能让你开心的事，现在不一定能让你开心啊！也有一些人，总是在为未来担忧。“我现在的工作能让我达成梦想吗？”，“10年后，我会是一个怎样的人呢？”，“我要在40岁以前变百万富翁”。梦想本应是每个人的原动力，可是不应该成为你的压力。有些人不擅长变通，死守一个梦想，每天都担心自己会不会成功。这样的人过于认真，而没法享受到失败的苦涩香味。他们会把失败想得太严重。一个人一直在挂念过去，担心未来，眼前的美丽风景又怎么能看得见呢？假设你在草原上走着，你心里在担心着这条路走对了吗？你眼睛看的是尽头。那，你就看不见你脚底下的蒲公英了。大家，现在这一刻，不要再忽视“当下”了。不但是开心的时候，人生的“喜怒哀乐”都要尽情地去感受，享尽人生百态。Life is beautiful.

Urghh... Moody... (Friday, January 18, 2008 / 6:55 AM)
I'm feeling quite moody today! Have you realised that the ranking on spop hasnt moved at all??? Oh my! Does it mean that votings for those 6 songs are soooo strong that no other songs are near it. And that i shd forget about it? SIGH!!! I like Sunday Evening! In fact i'm very proud of it. I think I've used another voice to sing this song and i LOVE it. hahaha! Very thick skinned hor... to love my own singing. But I do! hahaha... I think that my song is also the nicest song in the competition. Not because i'm singing it. but because I really think so! But it's not even in top 6! Oh no!!!! But there's really nothing much else I can do I guess. That's why I'm so moody. Coz I can't help my composer, Samantha. 
Xing Yuan, don't be disheartened by the result. It's not within our control. There are A LOT of people who came to tell me that your song is GREAT! It's more important that we got good reviews for the song! Hope you enjoyed the process....
Uninspired... (Sunday, January 13, 2008 / 8:50 AM)
Dear Amy, Yah, I know it's already the new year. Gosh, but I feel so uninspired to write.
Do you know the feeling?
I dunno if i'm numb or wat. I feel like I have a lot of blockage / obstacle / problem in my life right now. But they are not solvable problems. With these unresolved issues, I started feeling numb and unenthusiastic about things. Like blogging. There are a lot of things that I should be doing at this minute. But I dun wan to do them. These unresolved issues are forming a dark cloud around me and making me... space.
There are just 1001 things that i am sian about now. sighz...
I dun like this feeling.
Misery is supposed to breed creativity. But it's also not happening to me.
Ok, let me attempt to be enthu.
Thing is... there are a lot of things that I can get enthu and AM enthusiastic about! Just that I'm not enthu in writing them down. hahaha... For one, I was a roving host for "You are the one" last saturday. You know the new show..? 唯我独尊! I am really very excited about this. It's the 1st time i try hosting leh!!!!! Last Sat was the audition at Orchard Cineleisure. On top of the audition there, 3 teams set out to other parts of Singapore to look for 帅哥美女! I am the host for one of the team. I was quite suprised that they actually let me host all by myself. It was really quite a challenge, having to interview people, bug them to join. Just the task of convincing the person to stand in front of the camera can be quite hard already, coz most people are camera shy. But it was fun, talking to these people! haha! I was too occupied that I forgot to take any behind the scene pictures to share. Anyway, That was a super fun day.
Watch out for the show for my debut k??? =D I dunno when they will start airing, but i'll keep u posted.
Also happy news - my siblings came back home! My sister came back from US where she was studying her degree in food science and technology. She is back after 2+ years there, 学成归来了！！
Mum, Dad, 外婆 and me waiting in the airport for my sister... 紧张紧张！瘦了吗？头发长了吗？辛苦了吗？伸长着脖子等。
That's my sis's medal! ARGH! So proud of her! Look at how excited my dad is!
My Brother is back for a holiday until February. Then he's going back to Australia. After sooooo long, we had dinner together, all 5 of us together!! 感动。Super Happy!!! 7th Jan was their birthday and we planned a suprised birthday party for them! hur hur...
That's my house! A tentage was built in front of my house and I did the balloons! Got writing one - "happy bdae hau & rou" hee...
My mum also ordered a lamb! haha! see, that's a whole lamb u know! And the lamb has Nasi Briyani stuffed inside! DAMN YUMMY!!!!! I already miss it! but the thing is, we can only order this lamb with 100 pax. Sigh, when is the next big event at home ne?
That's my sis and her friends. can see which is my sis? I wrote "sis" at her black dress. haha!
My bro and his girlfriend, sooshen posing in front of the lukluk van that my mum rented for the night. Interesting leh~!
Here's a close up on the food! It's uncooked satay stick. Which will be dipped into hot soup or fried in a pot of oil.
My family! We were very high that night loh! Oh the guy on the extreme right is my sis's boyfriend.
Wah, this has become a very long blog post! I think I got quite enthu starting from writing about "you are the one" haha! see, thinking about happy events will make one happy and hence enthu writing. haha! and everyone, keep positive and stay happy k?!
Hope you enjoy this post!
