you'll never know me but you may know my name carrie yeo. Is a walking contradiction. Happy-go-lucky yet emotional. Over-confident yet suffers from inferiority complex. Love to sing yet afraid of the stage. Always hopeful about the future but always living in the present. Adventurous in bigger life experiences like joining Project Superstar but very cowardly in trivial thrills like monkey bars. Always fighting with herself in the mind like there are 5 Carrie's in there. Blogging is a way to straighten out thoughts for her. Blogging is a way for her to leave clues for herself, so that in ten years time, Carrie might start to understand herself better....

I'm feeling very sian now. What I am doing now, not many can understand. 追逐梦想是不务正业，有些人会这么想。我的心中已筑起一堵墙，让自己不受这些话语打倒。但是，偶尔我还是会不小心，放下这堵墙，让不明白的人伤害到我，让我迟疑，我这样追求梦想是错的！

在我感到自己很没用的时候，五月天的专辑播到第6首－出头天。

“成功是咱自己看自己得起”

“人生不怕风浪 只怕自己没志气”

我吓倒。这么简单地五月天又明白我的痛楚，又帮我释怀，又用他们的歌鼓励了我。

SHA 2008

Did you attend?? Did you tune in??? Did you watch it on TV???
I went to the event. WOO! I think it was a great show! I thought this year had REALLY good performances. For a start, Diya, Wu Jiahui, Fion and Zhengliang kick off the show real well! Although I thought the song could have been a lil longer. Well I was soooo busy shouting that I forgot to take any picture. But if you didn't watch, Diya was REALLY good on stage. She was the most "seh". I've always admired her showmanship. must learn from her...

Then subsequently, many others sang. I thought Wu Jiahui did a superb job. His song, 雖然我願意 is a VERY VERY difficult song to sing. But he did it VERY well that night. Really happy for him that he won the newcomer award. I sincerely believe that with his voice, he will go far. 加油！



My favourite performance has to be MAYDAY!!!! Without fail, they always got me jumping around. I was wearing a glam dress, but I still can't control myself. I just HAVE to stand up and bounce like a 小歌迷 especially when they perform 離開地球表面. It SOOOO good! They are really great fun to watch. And I LOVE their new song!!!!!



My other favourite performance is Eason!!!! He's so 放 on stage. He's so natural and so himself. I really admire performers like that. He immerse himself into his own music.

What a great night. To me, it's not so much, who won what, but it's just a great opportunity to put a bunch of great performers in one night. And this year's award show was a GREAT show thanks to all the 實力派歌手.

And here are some other pictures.....


Yoga was VERY impressive as well!!!!! And he is so in-his-own-world that it's super cute.



I just LOVE these 2!!! How cute are they???



With Eric and Jiahui.




Tadah~ Royston! I was sitting next to him.

Ok, another to report is that I'll be performing at Korean Pop Night 2008. Oh my, for the 1st time, I'm going to sing at the Indoor stadium. I'm actually quite nervous , just thinking about it. Anyway, this concert is a part of the Korea Festival 2008. Several Korean artistes will be coming to Singapore to perform as well, Like Andy and Jun Jin from ShinHwa. I'll be singing 疼傻人. With the Indoor stadium sound system, it should be quite shiok to scream the song out! woo! haha. I'm REALLY looking forward.

In a nutshell...



For more details....
http://www.koreafestival2008.com/concert.html

They are not selling tickets but giving away tickets through various channels. The details are at the website stated above. If you are free, I think this should be quite an interesting show! Hope you can get tickets and come cheer me on. Coz I'll be performing to Koreans. I feel like I'll be performing in foreign land where nobody knows who I am and what the hell I'm singing. haha. So it'll be great if I can see some familiar faces.

怕怕.......

This is the last reply to pure-devil (anon's new name).

Thanks pure-devil for teaching me a lesson that there ARE EVIL IDIOTS in this world. So I've changed my settings to moderate comments. In fact, I've also deleted some of your comments. They are simply too evil. And I do not want pure evil to linger in my happy place. I've left some intact just for entertainment sake.

PS: Don't get nationalist on me. Don't get me started on this topic man. And the fact that u "assumed" Malaysians have bad chinese... makes me really sad. firstly, u really missed the WHOLE point of what I was saying. It's a VERY simple message sighz.. 2ndly, we Malaysians DON'T have bad chinese. 3rdly, I was educated in Singapore. neh neh ni bu bu~ Oh and dun bother replying to this. I'm gonna delete everything you write. It's just c-r-a-p. bleah!

I think Anon misunderstood what I was trying say in the previous post. Let me share with you a story. I found this piece of news online.

(source: http://news.idoican.com.cn/lnrb/html/2008-05/01/content_4608867.htm)

"路遇摔倒的老人，你是扶还是不扶？
　　最近，郑州有一名骑车女子，被网友称为“郑州彭宇”，因为她在路上扶起一名被撞伤的老太太，却被家属指为撞人者，她于是上网寻找目击者为她作证。
　　“彭宇”正在成为一个代称——如果你扶起摔伤的路人，有可能你就是肇事者。“彭宇案”宣判中原话如下：“从常理分析，他与老太太相撞的可能性比较大。如果不是彭宇撞的老太太，他完全不用送她去医院”。
　　好一个“常理推断”！这个“常理”的假设前提是，人心本恶，人们遇到无回报、有风险的事情，本能反应是逃避。
　　按这个“常理”推断，那就是郑州女子擦伤了老太，然后以助人为乐的名义将她扶起，然后上网寻求目击者做假证，然后为自己的肇事行为做掩护。
　　这怎么能不让人担心，在一个个的“彭宇”之后，这样的“常理”会真的成为常理：把每一个他人的困难都当作麻烦的漩涡；把每一次正常的帮扶当作居心叵测？这样的“常理”，不但会葬送掉社会信任，亦会葬送掉很多弱者获得及时援助的机会，同时，葬送掉万一自己需要帮忙时的受助机会。
　　应该坚信，举手之劳、助人为乐，才是生活中的常理。"

In case your chinese is not good, Let me explain in plain english.

Recently in China, a girl who was riding a motorbike, saw an old lady knocked down, lying on the floor. She then stopped her motorbike to help her up. It was a kind gesture but instead of gratitude, family of the old lady sued her for knocking down the old lady.

Another example that's probably closer to you. One day you bought a packet of orange juice and you leave it in the fridge. Then 2 days later when you felt like drinking the orange juice, you walked to the kitchen and saw your brother drinking a packet of orange juice! You immediately think that your brother drank your orange juice!!! Only to find another packet of orange juice in the fridge. (which means that your brother bought another packet of orange juice, in case you din understand that too)

Many things in life, are filled with assumptions and perceptions. Just like I was saying, when you see a baby in pink, you'll assume that's a baby girl. But can you be sure???

All I'm saying is, there are many sides of one person and not the judge a book by its cover. And I was merely showing you other sides of diya which I believe many of you might not have seen before. Why do you have to say all those ugly words?

And JUST because I defend her I'm WAT????? I love all my friends. If any of them is being insulted like that, being hurt like that, I'll definitely stand up and defend them.

Oh and you said, "if you are angry I WON"????? So, your sole purpose of coming here and saying those words is to HURT US? And to make us ANGRY?????

If we don't mean anything to you, stop coming here to hurt us. These comments will hurt people we love as well. Just go away quietly....

Hi peeps,

Diya and I are talking to a tour agency about 代團!!! The tour agency is proposing 2 locations - Taiwan or Beijing. It'll be a 8-Day Tour for both locations. Taiwan will be $200 more expensive than Beijing. So we would like to get a quick poll. If you are choosing a holiday, which location will you prefer? I know it's not easy to make a decision without all the other details like tour itinerary and stuff. But just want a rough idea on which location is more attractive. I've done up a poll at the side bar. Please vote asap k? We need an idea urgently.

Thanks!

当你还是个婴儿，社会就已经规划好，女宝宝穿粉红色，男宝宝穿粉蓝色。WHY???

喜欢粉红色的女生，就是girlie的。喜欢粉红色的男生，就很“娘”。SINCE WHEN???

社会把我们都分类了。小孩要有小孩的天真，小孩的样子。笑眯眯的小孩就会被大人觉得很可爱。Sorry hor, 我喜欢attitude face 的小孩。就好像。。。



One of my fav kid in the world - phoebe aka guppy! with her parents, Jane and Hendry. She doesnt like to smile much, but when she does it's cuter than anyone else.

再长大一些，女孩子就给她们玩Barbie，男孩子玩车？
不喜欢穿裙子的女孩就tomboy? 穿裙子是多么的不舒服！为什么我们要为了迎合，穿裙子刻意让人觉得有女人味呢？

今天有人在她的blog上comment说，“Har you are gal meh...I thought you are guy!!! hahaha...got consider changing ur sex to guy leh..” WAH!!! 我真的很生气！这个人太没有礼貌了！你凭什么说这些难听的话？？虽然迪雅不喜欢穿裙子，不玩Barbie，装扮Tomboy了一些，it doesn't mean anything!!!

大家对迪雅真的是太不了解了。

今天我来告诉你，陈迪雅是多么的girlie。

1）她很爱下厨，就连煮个快熟面，都会加很多pattern。她的快熟面是超好吃的。现在的年轻女孩还有几个是爱下厨的？

2）她很细心。对于身边的朋友，家人，她都会很注意大家的喜好，在街上看到表弟需要的包包，不管价钱多少，她都会买下来给他们。或者看到朋友最喜欢的卡通人物，也会买下来送他。

3）她也很emo，很感性。她是个容易掉泪的女人。她看见别人伤心，她也会为朋友／家人掉泪。

4）她其实也很喜欢撒娇。没想到吧？不过，只限于她父母和一些好朋友。

說到這裡，我越想越氣，我為甚麼要跟你們prove一些甚麼。

人都是多面的。



可愛的。



帥氣的。



Hello?! 是美的咯。

She is who she is. She's a unique individual. We should embrace unique-ness. Please don't stereotype her or anyone. You don't know anything and you can't anyhow use those words to hurt someone. It's very myopic and stupid. Do you like being categorized? If not, then stop doing it!

3天前，被朋友邀请去看《天长地久演唱会》。这演唱会可厉害了，6位知名艺人一起同台演出，有黎沸辉，孟庭韦，赵咏华，千百惠，潘美辰和伍思凯。从小就喜欢伍思凯，加上演出嘉宾都是唱将型歌手，所以朋友的邀约我一口就答应了。

众多歌手当中，最期待的还是伍思凯。他果然没有让我失望。压轴的他，让全场都high起来。他象个小孩一样在台上蹦蹦跳跳，唱功是无话说的好。实力派歌手真是当之无愧。

那晚，我是带着一种“轻松地去观摩”的心情去看演唱会的。但，我疯掉了！我被迷倒了！我被她blown away。就好像好多年前去看五月天演唱会被他们深深的迷倒一样，我被她迷倒了。

她，就是赵咏华。




她一出场时，掌声感觉上还蛮客气，礼貌的。毕竟，这是她第一次来新加坡。她，很会说话，在台上无比的自在。41岁的她，非常可爱，风趣。对这位陌生的歌手，马上就起了好感。她先唱了几首轻快的曲目，如《只能说遗憾》，《最浪漫的事》和《求婚》。之前，我听过她的《最浪漫的事》和《求婚》（还记得Charlotte 和 he jing唱过《求婚》），所以也就大声的和她一起大合唱。我觉得玩的好开心。观众的掌声是越来越大声。令我感到惊讶的是，她的唱法一点都不会老气，歌声中还带有一点稚气。

“我现在要带来一首非常感性，悲伤的歌曲，所以大家也要平静下来，用心听我唱这一首歌。”

她，唱的歌是《请你放心》。

有观众在过门的时候，“woo”了一下，她就很调皮地“shh”回去。这一“shh”，又把大家惹笑了。

当她一开始唱，第一句，她马上就可以把我们都带入状况了。我完全地被她那感人的声音牵引到故事里。她唱地投入，我听地投入。我落泪了。她唱的每一句都是非常厉害的唱法。她可以在一句里用不同的声音－真假虚实交替地太厉害了，太漂亮了。

她是我的偶像！

她离开舞台的时候，观众都被她败倒了。全场欢呼声，掌声是如雷轰顶的！和她上台时的掌声完全不一样。而且，大家都不顾下一位出场的人，涌到会场外，买她的CD，结果一下就售完了，也是当晚表演者中，唯一CD被扫购一空的歌手。

她，也变成了我学习的目标。



请大家也听一听。想特别推荐《散心》和《请你放心》。
