12 lotus concert (Tuesday, October 7, 2008 / 2:01 AM)
Today I went for 12 lotus rehearsal. Turns out, I am not singing 疼憨人 at the concert!!!!
I'm actually quite disappointed. So I'm only going to sing a duet with Wenhai and then 2 group songs 一人一半（福建版）& 小人物的心声.
Anyway, I'm just gonna do my best still although this is not what I expected.
Fannie, do you still wan the tix? They havent gotten back to me if it's available. But I have 1 extra $28 ticket. Would you like that instead?

Events on 11th Oct (Monday, September 29, 2008 / 11:18 AM)
12莲花又开唱了！This time is for a good cause! Ok stealing from wenhai's blog...*******Concert Celebrating 12 Measures of Concern and LoveThe proceeds of this effort will go to organizing 12 Lotus screenings for the elderly at Golden Village Cinemas. We are working with RCs and various grassroots, senior citizen activity groups for this purpose. One of the earliest beneficiaries of this is the Kreta Ayer Senior Citizens Activity corner.
Date: 11 October 2008, Saturday
Time: 2.30 pm to 5.00 pm
Venue: Kreta Ayer People’s Theatre.
Ticket Prices: $18, $28, $48 and $68
********
If you said you've been touched by my song teng sha ren, please do come down and hear it live! I'm gonna put up my best performance ever. I promise you that. And it's REALLY SUPER HARD to sing that song live. bleah... But I'm going to try my best. Besides that, Wenhai and me will be singing a duet! You can buy the tickets by leaving your email and name at wenhai's blog. HAHAHAHAHA... kidding! Ok, please leave your name, no of tix, tix category price, and contact at the comment box (note: NOT tagboard hor).*******
Ok another thing is.. on the same day, a long lost friend YET叶敦鸿 is gonna hold his 1st Performance & Autograph Session at Tampines Mall's Open Plaza, Level 4. It's at 5pm on Sat.
Sigh, I can't make it because of the concert. But I hope those of you who are going to the concert will rush down to Tampines Mall to support him on my behalf. Those who can't make it to the concert, but can make it to his Autograph session, please also do pop by to give him your support. It's really not easy to be a local artiste. The market is so small and yet it's divided into English and Chinese market. And then it's further divided by people who would rather support overseas artiste. Grass is greener on the other side?
Anyway, for more info, here's his webbie.. http://www.iamyet.net/
Thank you those of you who have been supporting local artiste and let's jia you together in making great music!

12 lotus - 疼憨人篇 (Sunday, August 3, 2008 / 1:17 AM)
12 莲花 之 疼憨人篇
Have you watched the news lately?
hehe!
I'm singing the theme song for 12 lotus! And it's a beautiful song.
The song will be played on the radio Yes933 at about 1:10pm. Followed by an interview... Woo! So please glue yourself to the radio from 1pm!
This song is VERY special.
Firstly, Xiao Han the lyricist is a genius! The lyrics is sooo beautiful and emotional. Please pay extra attention to the lyrics and you will find that every line in verses has a number in it, starting from 1 to 12. Because it's 12 lotus! WOWWWWW!!!!
2ndly, the arangement is WOWWWW!!! It's a unique arrangement. Eric used a lot of funny sound in the song. That made this song.... artistic, and not so commercial. Which is something that we are quite worried about.... not so commercial. Hope you will still like the song.
3rdly, Usually a song has 1 emotion. Like say... 触摸, there is 1 single emotion which is 无条件地守护着爱着，爱别人的人。 But in this song, there's a change in emotion, there's a 过程. The song starts off with an acceptance on how 可怜莲花 is. But as she questions 老天 "why??", towards the end, she becomes exasperated and angry. 我用声音把莲花的气愤与不满，毫无保留的撕吼出来。到了最后，我再把情绪收回来，变成一种无奈，“累了”的感觉。
爽!!!
The production for this song was really fun! Funky Monkeys are SUPER FUN to work with! Thank you Eric for writing and arranging such a GREAT song, Xiao Han for such a great lyrics (she deserves best lyrics of the yr award for this man...), And JIM! Jim was my vocal producer. He's really GOOOOOD! I felt like I could trust his directions so much that we finished recording this song in about 3 hours!
Ok. More on 12 lotus soon....
