Love97.2 <<绝对金曲>>,25 Oct 2008, 10am

子干大哥的声音很稳重,但其人却很活泼。


上他制作的电台节目<<绝对金曲>>,都会被他的活泼的处世态度给感染,心情一路都很轻快。


当天谈的是异族同胞都会哼的歌曲。其实做为艺人,我们的责任是得确保自己在每一机会,把每一个节目都做好。而当我看着子干大哥在他那小小的的笔记本里的一笔一划,我顿然觉悟一位好的节目策划,一位好的主持人,单靠的并不是那么一张嘴。他不但得确保自己的本分做好,同时也不能疏忽艺人那一环。如果单单只顾及自己是否出色而不管身旁他人的死活,一个节目是很难搞得好的。


很感激子干大哥一路来的照顾和支持。在节目里,他尽量一他的经验和专业知识来弥补一位新人上节目不足的经验。在录音室里,我们也尽量以各种肢体语言提醒对方的谈话内容,以确保访谈的流畅。节目的内容和铺排也是一位称职主持人所要考量和拿捏的一环。


这个访谈又让我上了一课。谢谢子干老师。哈!

Ge-Tai 23 Oct 2008

A friend asked me to give it a try. I was like ... erm ... no harm ... just try for experience. Since young, I have always wondered how is it like to sing at a ge-tai. Actually, the feeling was rather good. Though I sang new songs, the crowd were very encouraging. The Emcee became so formal in introducing me. And the seniors were so supportive. Thanks people for making this D.I.Y such a good experience for me.

三代齐聚观歌舞Guest Appearance,18/10/2008 (Sat), 7pm@Telok Ayer Hong Lim Green CC


This is a large scale concert. The people behind the show are really trying to do something for local music scene. What's more could I have asked for as a newbie being given such a wonderful opportunity to perform at this platform. If there is, I really would like to ask for the local to support our local music, talents and creative persons.

Thanks Bro for sharing your experience and advices.

Host for the day was the well-known tv personality "popeye's wife" Lin Ru Ping, the talented Mediacorps actor Shen Wen Jun and the famous Ge-Tai personality Li Pei Fen. The concert is half ge-tai half modern concert style. Well-known hokkien singers from Malaysia and Taiwan, a well-known singer from China and one local female powerhouse singer and one newbie D.I.Y singer-songwriter ... me lor .. haaa !!! The band was made up of experienced performers for ge-tai and other major gigs. And and and ... we have our dancers all the way from Malaysia and they are so steady. U know wad, just 5 fives minutes prior my performance, they decided to dance for me and I was like ... are you serious and they smiled. So I was like .. okie ... let's have fun !!! And they were GOOD ... I mean REALLY GOOD !!!




Wow... thanks for setting up such a nice booth.

I really appreciate the objective of the concert 三代齐聚观歌舞. The organisers, while promoting local arts, has also a heart for the people. They hope to promote family togetherness through music. Giving them a space to take break and sit back and relax for some entertainment together.
The lady behind ... ME !!!

Yoz yoz ... thanks for helping me unconditionally ... appreciate it.

My supporter ... :)

The turnout was good. The seating capacity is 3000 and 80% was filled. I was doing another show at Bugis and it was raining and luckily it stopped. When I reached Hong Lim Park a few stops down the road for a briefing, there were already people chopping the best seats for the nite. It was encouraging to see that.




He is the one of the BIG man behind the show.

I really enjoy myself on stage, especially seeing audience enjoying themselves. I'm really looking forward to more performing opportunities on this stage. On behalf of the organisers, thanks everyone for the support.


A little suprise for you all

Thanks.

Bugis Junction Act, 18 Oct 2008, 4pm - 6pm



As part of publicity of High School Musical 3, an outdoor event "A Prom Tea Party" was being staged by the fountain of Bugis Junction.


A very BIG thanks to Sarah for giving me the chance to perform a couple of songs during the event. Thanks Sarah ... thanks thanks and thanks. This is especially a rare and important opportunity for a newbie like me. So I really thank you for making the arrangement in such a short time.


Others to thank is the Gramophone family especially Thomas. Also, not forgetting Dinesh from Punch !


The timing was good, the crowd was supportive and the energy is simply GREAT. Everyone is having fun and feeling happy. And I love the Emcee ... you are so steady. And thank the soundman for the great sound.


I sang 2 songs ... Crazy YET and Wonderful Love. May I wish all you guys and gals to continue with your "craziness" to seek happiness in LIFE and share your love wtih one another to make the world a happy place.

Crazy YET


A Prom Tea Party by the Fountain

I love this guy ...


Thank you Gramophone
Cheers !!!

Talk about D.I.Y with Radio 1003 DJ Ken, 17 Oct 2008, 10:30pm




YET introduces Instrumentalist Tera


Ken & YET


Tera and Ken

The TRIO ...





Ken is such a happy boy. His program is so fun and he makes us realise that we are afterall HAPPY people. So be like Ken, everything can. Ha ...



Since the release of "No Problem" CD Single, Ken has been very supportive. And with the release of debut album "Crazy Yet", he invited me to his program to share about being D.I.Y in Singapore. That night, I also pulled along my music partner, Tera. Tera is a young boy who not only does pop writing, but also into instrumental music and game...ing music. He is a songwriter, arranger and producer. Currently, he has 2 instrumental album under his name. I felt strongly that local audience should be given more opportunity to be exposed to this little group of D.I.Y musicians and so, I got permission from Ken and brought him along.



Yoz Ken, Tera is "terror" right? Ha ...

the queue ...


He is one other GREAT friend I have known through music. Capital Radio FM95.8 DJ Jiabiao. Thanks Bro from being so crazy with me throughout the performance and autograph.



Yes, though it was not a sardine-packed performance/autograph session, a humble turnout of 30 persons were considered positive (at least my personal opinion) for a D.I.Y performance/autograph at an open plaza. The DJ and myself have had fun jumping off the stage onto the ground level to bring the performance closer to the audience. At least this is something not common in a superstar autograph (Heee ...), and we did it. I really thank everyone for keeping up the energy and stayed with me for the 1 hr long session. See you in Nov and Dec for more action.

<<那个疯狂的人>>全新华语大碟的制作过程

05/10/2008 (11pm - 12mn)电台1003"Sunday-11"DJ珂宁与独立音乐创作狂人YET叶敦鸿畅谈<<那个疯狂的人>>全新华语大碟的制作过程

People said I'm really Crazy Yet. Spending 50K on an album and knowing that the market is not readily available. Yes, 50k may be a lot, it can buy me a reasonably good car, it can be used to pay for downpayment of a condo, it can be used for investment, it can be at least saved for rainy days, or at least make my days better ... yah I know ... thanks for reminding. Actually, I do feel heartache ... haaa !!!
But I think there is one good advice that I never going to forget ... how many people would have a chance and dare to accomplish their dream in this LIFE they are living. The value of 50k increases if it is used more meaningfully and purposefully. So it's worth it.
Money should not be used as an excuse for not being able to accomplish task though it really plays an important part. Howver, the process has let me understand that my attitude in working things out is more important.
Friends out there who have stood by me and lent me a hand in this project, whether or not we have conflicts or different agenda throughout the process, I still want to thank all of you for being part of everything. All of you are part of my growing experience. Do continue to pursue your dreams within your means and best of luck to everyone. Any thing that I could be of help, do let me know.
Cheers.

音乐和自己的正业---社工

30/09/2008 (10pm - 11pm)Capital Radio 958 "月光宝盒"DJ潘家镳与独立音乐创作狂人YET叶敦鸿畅谈<<音乐和自己的正业---社工>>

... the contents below are my 2 cents of worth of thoughts ... it doesn't represent any party but only myself as a resident in Singapore who is concerned about the well-being of the children and youths nowadays.

Music and Work, I insist not to mix them up. However, Music and Work, mixes in reality. Similarly, there ain't a clear line between anything even though if we insist. Because the so called clear line is a result of human intervention. No one can be so clear, even about themselves. The only clear line is actually all about yourself, to bluntly put ... self-ish. A "self" is made up of experiences. And decision is made based on experiences. So, whoever got a louder say, draws the line. But is it objective or subjective? My Music and My Work depend on My Experience ... My Music and My Work are subjective... yes I heed advices here and there ... but I only take what my experiences told me work for me. So is it ob or sub?

The new generation of children and youths are trapped with all sorts of LINES. Clear or Unclear, Objective or Subjective ... I guess the most important thing for them nowadays is CONVENIENCE. This is when LINES turn in LIES so easily, where you find the letter N of a COMPASS is missing. Children and Youths lose direction in a society where there are so many lines set up to provide them with a structure to arrive at a destination. Maybe the system should not base their experience to enforce it on the new generation but to return the COMPASS and let them discover for themselves their real "self".

Whether this entry makes sense or not, it's objective and subjective. But at least I speak up. Imagine how many children and youths have chosen to shut up due to the lines? They should have a voice, not a represented self-ish voice ...

RadioS --- I've heard U !!! 10q !!!

请准许我此刻5分钟的骄傲。人在谦虚之时,也得在适当的时候为自己的刻苦耐劳赞一赞自己,为自己骄傲一下。这样一来,接下来的路,才会走的更有劲,走的更有意义。

如果每一步骤都活得过渡谦虚,都活在他人眼光里,连开心都害怕人家说骄傲,把谦虚当成是掩饰自己真性情的工具,这样的生活最终会熬出病来。因为自己的情感被自己压抑着,不病都难。
所以何不活开来,活得大方一点。不是叫你骄傲到目中无人,而是为自己的脉搏注入一股能够为自己所为而骄傲的气息,给自己多一份信心去迎接全新的挑战。

我骄傲的是我的努力,我的精力,我的体力,我的耐力,我的战斗力,我的毅力,我爱吃的巧克力(哈!!!) 。。。

我骄傲的是我看见了自己的信心,人生观和处世态度。

这张专辑让我看见了许多生命中的不完美其实是完美的一部分。

大家给我的支持和鼓励,有时还真教人难以承担 --- 因为我不完美。

不过就是因为有你们的这份心意,我会鞭策自己积极努力把路子给走好。

感谢:

Was negotiating a deal with a friend's CD Shop, New Millenium Music Pte Ltd at Pearl's Center, Chinatown. When showed him the CD, he was like ...,"Oh, I've seen it on magazine." I was like ...,"Huh ... where?" He then started to look through his newspapers and magazine ... and there in i-Weekly was the review.

Thank you Huizhen for the review. Thanks.

The forever-smiling Jiabiao and Crazy YET

这是我第一次上Capital Radio 958 电台节目。同样一句话,很"家"的感觉。也就在之前9月20日他们的户外活动上演唱,遇见了DJ家镳。在一个角落看到他拿着我的promo专辑,他那好不开心的样子,让我心中顿时感到无限欣慰。过后,最教人感动的是他既然主动和我(一个默默无名的歌手)搭讪,说会安排我上他的节目。Not that I'm desperate for attention, but at times this little gesture really pushes you on. Heyo, my dear friend, if you're reading this entry, I really like to take the opportunity to tell you that you have given me a lot of positive energy to move on. Similarly, you know, I'm sure those who have attended your program would agree as well that U have given so much LIFE to the environment. Gum-Siah for your support.

23/09/2008 (7pm - 730pm) The Straits Times Razor TV Live Interview On DIY Music Making (Entertainment Section)

音乐真的让我找回许多回忆,也让我联络上许多久违了的朋友。我的生活曾经因为有了音乐而热闹,后来也因为有了音乐而寂寞,现在却因为有了音乐而完整、充实。

专辑推出后不久,老朋友Razor TV Presenter Christina从老老朋友漫画人Travis口中得知消息后,又刚好为筹备一系列的独立音乐人特辑,所以联络了我。这位大姐姐依旧仍然给人诗情画意的感觉。见面讨论节目访问内容是,时不时会顿着,投入自己的另一个世界,想着其他的事,then忽然间又回了神继续说她的。老姐,不要累坏自己,虽然你认真的样子是挺有性格的。

Razor TV Live Show was over in just 30 minutes. I was disappointed that I did not do a good job in presenting my song. However, it served as a good lesson that I must be well prepared and be confident at all times when on show, radio or any program. This is the responsibility of an artiste. ROGER!!!

Thanks Razor TV, THANKS Christina & Travis.

883 JIA FM 阳光星期天与德江的小访谈

与德江大哥结识是在今年7月份推出单曲<<没有问题>>的时候。那时亲自把专辑拿到883家FM交给他。第一个印象---直接,爽快,阳光,健谈,没架子,很有想法的一个大男生。之前,已经略有所闻这位大哥。德江大哥其实算是D.I.Y的前辈。大家不妨google一下,就明白我在说什么。

过后陆陆续续都会在网上交谈交换创作心得。21/09/2008 (8am - 10am) 上了他的节目之后,德江大哥也与我分享了许多艺人在做访问的TIPS。Thank you.
