心体会


9月18日2008年,上了灵芝聊聊一个人要如何兼顾他的家庭,事业和梦想?



<<那个疯狂的人>>专辑要传达的是一种不言退缩的精神。鼓励大家抱着一颗"可以之心",屏着一个"没有问题"的处世态度去面对各种挑战。



制作这张专辑长达三年。沿途的起起落落有时实在让我吃不消。经济上的挣扎,朋友间的信任,家庭与事业的兼顾以及如何去平衡生活中的点点滴滴,还真的让我一度想放弃。要怎么在面对这些问题的时候仍然不言退缩 --- 这就是整个过程中最重大的考验。



我学会做到了。我终于明白何谓"No Man Is An Island"的道理。我很感谢那些给我机会,没有放弃我的人。也要感谢那些给了我机会摔了一跤的人。你们都丰富了我的生活经验,让我更加珍惜眼前的一切,疯狂于每一个事物的存在。



我的事业,我的家庭,我的梦想,有你们才完整。



谢谢灵芝的节目,让我能够暂时找回一点时间找回一些自己之前所拥有的心体会。

I heard Crazy YET

It has been a week since Crazy Yet Debut Album Launch. No matter how tired, I have promised myself to blog about the past few weeks happenings today coz I have to keep telling myself to stay strong, move on and persevere and of course ... I know you guys are reading the blog, giving me support in your little ways. Thanks.

Chance about http://933charts.blogspot.com/ while taking a break google-ing to distract myself in order to better focus again later ... click into and it's 933 online ...

Guess what, I heard Crazy Yet. Friends have been sms-ing that they heard Crazy Yet over the various chinese radios and I was like ... oh okie ... I miss it again but am very grateful to the radio DJs who are so supportive of local D.I.Y. :)

And tonight, I heard it myself. Thanks frens out there, I heard it....

I will continue to work hard... even harder ... and the hardest ...

friends helping friends ... 朋友帮朋友,D.I.Y音乐无界限。。。(Part 2)

月楼海鲜Villa Seafood Galleria
I was given the opportunity to perform 3 times at Villa Seafood Galleria at different functions prior to the launch. Thanks to the bosses of the restaurants and the marketing/advertising personal from the respective organisation. I really respect them the way they give support to local talents and arts scene. Seriously speaking, we need more of these supporters to groom our own local talents, be it in the Sports arena, Entertainment Industry or Arts scene.




Radio 1003 DJ 灵芝chat chat chat ...

Performance 1: 6/9/2008
The readers 新明日报 and audience from 电台1003 are there to celebrate Mooncake Festival. It was a good turnout and the crowd is very supportive. People like Jenny who has given me a chance to appear at the event, an interesting couple老明夫妇 (oldbeng.blogspot.com), Mdm Koh, those babies and little ones like cute little Junheng who listen so attentive to my songs (ha!!!) and also 久仰大名Radio 1003 DJ 灵芝 who has really done a great job introducing me and of course the crowd who applaused for me - Thanks for the encouragement !!!


Performance 2: 12/9/2008
I was invited by senior local singer傅爱玲小姐to sing at her husband birthday. The couple and their big family (of whom four sisters were once the well-known 台风乐队) were very fun people and they, with their family memebers, imparted such positive energy to newbie who is trying to make a break into the music industry. Thanks friends, I really appreciate those words.

There were some other senior musicians and music lovers who attended the birthday. People like 天送大哥,如萍姐,one very famous male host who sang the grand finale (can't remember his name) and many more.

And and, Edmund Chen 陈之财 (http://www.edmundchen.com/) was there as well. He looks so young for his age and he is another very cheerful and positive artiste who is so encouraging to newbie. Talked to him and I liked the way he used the way, "你好勇敢!!!" Edmund has indirectly pointed the true fact that in life, sometimes we have almost forgotten that every step that we have taken to accomplish our dream is so much courage of us. We must be able to tell ourself that we are Brave Enough already to be living Life, so what comes next is actually the matter of our belief in ourselves to keep going, stay positive and not give up. Thanks Edmund.



Crazy Yet sings with Cheerful Brother

Brother ... this is for to applaud for your courage !!!


Performance 3: 20/9/2008
This was my launch day. Before the launch, I got a chance to perform at Capital Radio 958 event. Finally get to meet up with several well-known DJ. Sang 3 songs, of which 2 were my composition and 1 was 小微。A little surprise, I managed to pull Tay Pheng Hwee (the hunk actor ??? ... ermm .. not quite lah ... look for answer in this blog entry ... ) to sing along with me for 小微。Capital Radio 958 really gives me a 家的感觉。Especially thanks to 菁云姐 & 家镳大哥。Because of the launch thingy, I couldn't stay long, if not I will join in the fun. A smile really makes a day, the DJs and the crowd was so cheerful and it has brought so much life to the event. So everyone, remember to smile no matter what, coz smile will "scare off" your problem. That is why I said 笑一笑,没有问题 !!! 哈 !!!

friends helping friends ... 朋友帮朋友,D.I.Y音乐无界限。。。(Part 1)

Hello ALL, time for UPDATES !!!

Reporters, DJs and friends have been asking what are some of the things learnt in the process of this album making process? Well, there are too many to list but one of the most important one is the beauty of "Friends Helping Friends".

Crazy Yet album is not just about YET, it is also about all the effort linked to a group of friends who have dreams, who have the "Can-Do" attitude, who believe in hard work and who are passionate about their life and each and everything they are committed to.

For the past 2 months before the launch of Crazy Yet Debut Album 20/09/2008, energy has been focused in building up and gathering "ammunition" for the "blast" since the launch of "No Problem" CD Single 20/7/2008. Being a D.I.Y, we have to be realistic that vitamins "M" ($$$) is a very limited resources and we have to plan for every single cent spent. Hence, we really do not have a choice to sit back and wait for opportunity to knock but to be pro-active in every single aspect in the album making process. AND and, we have to acknowledge that vitamins "F" (friends) are always around to help, even if it is just a little gesture in spreading words to people about your album.

No man is an island and music really connects the world. I'm honoured to have met you guys and received your utmost support. I will carry this luck and energy to further my passion and love for what has been given to me - Music !!!
